Beautiful work, Mike. I cant wait to order my next one. Decisions, decisions....hmmmmm.

If I did that I'd lose my ever changing "office" view.

That makes me wanna puke just looking at it!!

Lol I'll admit that stage right there was petty hairy. You swing it out of the building with those lower swing arms and then you have to switch the stage connections to the sliding brackets on the outside edge of the roof up there while your on it. Talk about double and triple checking every pin and connection...

Yeah, your "office" view is much nicer than mine I got to spend the morning pulling 1000ft of wire through a tunnel under a 80 yr old high school

# 24 is perfectly happy where she is thank you! : )

Even if she did get dropped...

She still knows you love her...

Hubby took me up in a bucket truck once when he was grooming our trees. Well, he got the boom only half way extended and I was squatted down in the bucket with my eyes covered begging him to take me down. No thanks! I'll keep my feet on the ground...

lol I have had apprentices come out and do almost the same thing.

I do hope they arent still working in that job. They're not. Right? Or did they get used to it? I don't think I could ever get used to it.

Me, heights, straight down drops, equals sick in every kinda way. Glad we have people that can do the work but I am not one of them. lol

So Mike, is that the official Hog mod banner?? I stole one that Pchela created for a while, but didn't feel right about doing it without asking first.

I'd love to use yours with permission...

 

[Hogwart]

Most of them weed themselves out of the trade fairly quickly. I've learned that the fear of heights isn't something that is easily overcome. either your ok with it or your not. Some guys don't mind it at all. Its just good to know their limits before I start assigning tasks. Pulling them off a ledge, beam or piece of equipment because they lock up is not an easy task.
=) was looking for a pic of a co-worker in an angel basket,cant find it but these are ok too

Don't know if its the official one but feel free to use it. I'm not to good with photoshop so it prob could be better. took me forever to figure out how to get those pig heads on there.

 

[db13berry]

puke

My toes are curling. And not in a good way...

 

[wfarrar33]

Okay. I'll use the one you came up with. If you change it, I'll follow suit. Hog Mods definitely needs a banner

 

[Hogwart]

lol ok last one I swear, found the angel basket. Its pretty much a just a steel ladder welded up with hooks on top to throw over a beam and a flat platform at the bottom to stand on. Ya have to walk out and hang your basket then climb down it to weld clips on that we anchor our window systems to.

And of course that's his index finger letting me know I'm #1

 

[db13berry]

Oh H E double hockey sticks NO!

And I love his term of endearment! HAHAHA!

Oh and on the Mod front... I am currently BBQing dinner then I will be finishing rounding out and sanding the rest of the batch tonight. Drilling holes and base coat should be on tomorrow depending on when I get home.

 

[cherewine]

Mike....my feet got numb and in a 'froze-up' state, just like when I try to climb on a ladder, just LOOKING at those pics! ackkkkk
I moved to Idaho from the midwest (from flatlands to hills and mountains) and when we were driving over a mountain pass, which, by the way, had a drop-off on MY side of the road that looked like it was like 1000 feet down TO ME (could have been as I can't judge distance well), I was almost in my bf's lap. I was SO SO scared and he thought it was just the funniest thing....NOT!
