That sounds like two more buckets and two more ground helpers than we would have. Seems like nowadays a 26 year old foreman is a little too old to be a foreman.

I've seen them break at the guy strain, but only because whoever installed the preform wrapped half of the eye over the roller. I've seen the eyes break when someone wrapped the preform directly into...
I understand what you are saying. Over the years, if I remember correctly, I've had two of these types. Both had gone thru a line school. Both of them thought they were a lineman right out of school...
Over the last couple years, I've read a lot of posts similar to this one. It's always about an older lineman complaining about the younger lineman or apprentices not knowing things. Well, the way I...
Depends what the job calls for. Sometimes on a pole top pin, sometimes on the arm. Oh, then there's my favorite, three phases AND the neutral on the arm.
Diesel exhaust fluid
I like Kinkos winter gloves.
This show sucks. If I did line work in Alaska, I'd be embarrassed. I have a feeling line work in Alaska is in for a change in the near future.
All the info is out there, just search for it. There has been so many this year I'm not posting all of them. There was just another one yesterday in VA I believe. 22 year old working for Irby. Cut...
If you're referring to the U.S., you're wrong. There have been a lot of fatalities this year.
I don't feel there is only one way to plumb a pole and I certainly do not always plumb it in line with the boom. Where I work, moving the butt so its in line where you think it should be is not an...
These companies need to start asking themselves how much money has a safety man or safety deparent ever made for them. Zero dollars. Then ask how much the line crews have made for them. Safety...
You're probably correct. We just didn't have any 2 str sleeves. I even peeled back the tape off an existing sleeve to read what it said. Not one word was printed on that sleeve.
I always look things over when I go on storm or work in a new area. Been on storm out East six times and haven't come across different sized legs on open wire. I'm not saying it doesn't exist, just...
When it comes to open wire, I prefer to cut it down. But, when that's not an option, I like it when the neutral is in the middle. I've worked all different size open wire and I've never come across...
Security has nothing to do with it. They don't want you bringing in your own food and drinks. It's just easier/convenient for them to use the security card. For the life of me, I can't understand why...
If its the same one, he was 35 from Idaho. Worked for Wilson.
There was another one a couple days ago in Georgia. 23 year old kid from New Orleans died after making some form of contact. Wasn't...
Buy American what? American Utility companies don't buy American material cause there isn't any.
You need to give a lot more info on the project you're doing. Not every project will have the same details. Is this inside work? Outside work? What are the soil conditions if digging is required? Is...
I must have missed the earlier news, this is the first I've heard of this. I wish you the best. Having dealt with this in multiple family members over the years I know how difficult it is for both...
Looks like mice.
Just like all your other posts, this one doesn't make sense either.
A guy asks for opinions on a certain type of boot, people respond and YOU thing it's funny and interesting. Do you have any...
I had a pair, but as stated above, they were way too hot. Feet would be soaked every time I wore them. They also felt like I was walking in ski boots all day. I too bought Vibergs right after the...

So in your opinion, having to dress up to attend a show in that porta potty of a town makes it good? Really? So if one didn't dress up the show wasn't as good? Did you have to burn a couple joints at...
