    Corn had actually worn a hole in the steel pipe and fittings of the bucket elevator. A friend of mine brought his man lift over and helped me replace it. I'm in front of the elevator but if you zoom in you can see me. image.jpeg

    I would not be a happy camper up there. I bet the view was great. Can you get the chimney brushed while you are up there. :)

    I was looking at the pic again and just wondered, why didn't you fix it when you raised the flag? lol

    Lol There is a trap door in the roof that you can go out onto a catwalk to the elevator and flag but the pipe was way too heavy and long to manhandle back down to the ground safely.

    I did drop my wrench. It slid down the steel roof and got hung on s screw. My buddy in the manlift had to get it.
