904_runner

toyospearo

you would love working on cell towers. you get paid to climb that high and even repel off 10 story buildings at times. the view is awesome!

here are some pics of me at work.

this is in gorst WA. just outside of Bremerton. the view from this 120ft tower looked right over the navy base. awesome view.


this one was in Green Valley just outside of black diamond WA. the picture was taken from the ground. the top of the tower was 115ft


This was repelling down a 10 story apt building in DT Tacoma WA. this across the street from stadium HS.

HOLY CRAP DUDE!!!
That is high.
What kind of harness are you using for that?

spanish-road

wooh ho fellow tree climbers! Well i used to do that but since there are no trees tall enough to climb in Fairbanks Im out for now.

toyospearo

I lived in Fairbanks way back when. My dad was a professor at the University in Fairbanks and one time he took me up the tallest building in the middle of winter. The temp. was -45. He brought a picture of water up with us and threw it off. It was so cold most of the water froze before it hit the ground!
At least you have the cold to play in. Here is just rains and rains!

spanish-road

yeah Im going to Palmer for a class this may and want to get some climbing in at the forestry research station and maybe some glacier action.

mudcrasher

I use a DBI Salla tower harness. they make the harnesses specifically for cell tower work. a lot of the other guys use elk river harnesses.

the highest i have ever climbed was a 210ft tower. when i got to the top i stood on the top and stuck my hands in the air just so i could get that extra 7 ft or so.

BUMP?


Progress?

toyospearo

The only progress I made on this build is registering, insuring and tuning up my VW PITA. California's financial crisis hit me in the face today at the DMV. I waited 3 hours to get this van registered. The DMV here has 13 windows to handle all the vehicle crap and as a result of Ca. layoffs there were 3 windows open. I actually fell asleep waiting. LOL
Holy crap, the fourth cylinder plug on the 1.9 liter Vanagon is a total nightmare to get to. I did manage to swap it out and after I did a complete tune up on this van it is SUPER quick!
I need to get this Vanagon running "smooth" before I start the choppity chop chop on my yota, otherwise I will be without a DD.

sounds like the dmv in salt lake city

LTrunner

here in good'ole MA we have a RMV(registery of motor vechiles) it's just like the DVM most other states have only wrost....3 hour wait is like the MINIUM wait time

904_runner

hum.

Well, not to rub it in your face or anything but the last time i went to the dmv in December to register my truck. THere WAS NOBODY in there. Absolutely no wait.

Its like that a lot at the local one.

Ah you can get the swap done in a weekend

shadowcat

Is there a link to do that led swap that looks cool.

toyospearo

My SAS is going slow but its going.

toyospearo

No new work done as of late
The photos below tell the story. The surf up here has been good lately (those two breaks are below my house.) Most of this winter it has sucked and recently it as turned on.
I have most of the kit to finish off my SA. Still need the leafs.
