Two things Ive noticed....a rope but no handline in your pics....another is that with short sleeve shirts,it isnt fire resistant...guess you guys have no need for them if all the work is done dead.

I remember those days...Years and Fcukin YEARS ago!!! When it was just Real Fun to "Siht and Get" on a Dead New construction line!! Now days...here in 'merica...especially if you're a contractor, there ain't much of that siht. SOME utilities, still allow their employees to actually "Think"...but not many. Cover your ass in FR siht and rubber...new construction or not. "Just incase". And...BTW...where the hell is that guy on the pole..."fall restraint". Seriously "Unsafe".... Good Stuff Bren...."Enjoy" man, and thanks for the Picts of good old fasion Linework!!!

When he gets to the top. He belts his secondary belt through the tie straps.. Where the f..k is he gona go. ????????. Yeah new build sort of. It's an upgrade. This section of line that's switched out at the moment is around thirty pole changes plus quite a few transformer refurbs.. Eighteen generators on ( for two weeks ) so we can work DEAD..

PITY WE ARENT GOING TO FINISH IT.


I will tell you why when it's confirmed.
