    Eh, I'm good at everything I do. Except sewing. ;) I simply like to see the best way to handle a situation that I'm not entirely familiar with before I just do it. That's my MO. It works well for me. Those that just go and do something without putting a bit of thought into it usually end up on YouTube in the fail department.

    If I do this on my own ( and a spotter), I'll do just fine.

    However, I'm going to angle to have this done for free.

    True.

    I used to work for a couple companies that needed these for machines, and the shop guys would always call them this. Though when I would order them, there never come up on my PO's, or acknowledgements that way. Rather mast and weatherhead were used.

    2 cents on our A/C Electric power company. My power lines to the house go through the core of a decent sized pin oak tree. Called them out to trim it and hopefully talk them into cutting it down enough that I could drop it myself. Rule was they only trim limbs that are more than 10ft to the pole :whistle:. But pay no mind to the limbs interweaved with the power lines, which to equates to we don't care if your power goes out just don't jeopardize the whole block. I guess I get it..........

    The main difference is that mine wasn't a typo/ googlification. That's why the feed thong is hilarious.
