You know, them covers/sheaths really take the fun out of it.

Again I want to reiterermate: its real easy to have the power company sheath the wires. I have been in bad spots but not as bad as some as I have seen or heard. All I can say is that if you don't use the service the power company will perform for free then yer doing it wrong... so stop doing it wrong and for ####'s sake don't expect me to join you, refuse to climb yourself, just don't do it.

'Heckler' Dan!
Seriously, you do need attention, huh?
Get off the puter and connect with your life, dude! De-rail you are! Dang!
Jeff :confused:
 
Pa legallized fireworks.:msp_scared: Its gonna get hot in here.

We used to run down South of da Border, come back with 3 inch mortars.

For real? I have to go across the border every year are you saying I don't have to anymore. If you shop around sometimes you can get bigger than 3". Phantom only sells 3 sometimes you can find the black operation guys that have 4-5.

You know, I am still mad at the last ####### who tried to tell me electrocution was part of the job so unless you want some more shut it up. Ain't no derailing, ain't no hijacking, we's all bubba's here talking about one thing and one thing only.

They'll sheeth them if they can get a bucket to the location, I've had it done a couple times. If not it's lights out in the hood.. Either way never had to pay..

Well, i haven't blowed anything up in years nor bought anything but I noticed the tents selling fireworks all over the place these days. Used to be a firecraker would be cause for the police. I don't know if they are selling mortars at these tents in Pa, I kinda hope not.
A cool thing is to stick a half stick under the lid for one of those dome shaped Weber grills. They will shoot up as high as the trees.

I live under some big trans wires, always a power company truck around. I have seen guys spike a pole and set covers. They just keep adding more pushing them down the line.

So act like it instead of trying to be a funny dumb ass!

Up here in our local mountains, both bear valley electric and Edison, are really good about putting up shielding on the wires. Once Bear valley electric hooked up a hot wire on the ground where we were working so no one would have to go with out electricity. I did a big dead pine right up next to the primary's in Sugar Loaf for Bear Valley electric. They would turn the power on and off intermittently through out the day.
I don't think the power company in LA are as accommodating and tree service friendly as up on the hill. I'm going to find out and see what it takes and how long to get them to shield the lines.
I also think these were maybe city trees to begin with. They were on an easement behind the house. The landscaper said he had the proper permits, but I never seen them.
I got to hit the sack, have 3 big crane trees up in Lake arrowhead in the morning. Were bringing in a big crane the owner told me over the phone tonight and going to do some big picks. I'll get some pictures.
 
I got LXT riding my back like he's known me forever or has ever even met me, I don't need you doing it to. I said it before tho lets just say I'm lying and I don't do line work. It's good enough for me. I don't care what anyone believes works for me.

Wow, Matt, I dont know you!! & that is why I question some of the BS thrown out on here, You do not work for Duquesne or FE, I know cause I work for Duquesne & have worked for FE, I have the employer codes of all SAP vendors on each property & yours is not on there, Neither utility does daily short term contracts!

SOoooo, all this crap about you work for the utility is BS & where ever you got your Ehap training.....that entity should be sued by the display of knowledge you wrongly tossed out!

Again: if you are using that out dated tester you are in violation of many laws!! You are not properly trained to use that device & unless you are a contracted company you are not allowed to work within 10ft of energized power lines, BTW: the URD on your device stands for "underground residential distribution" its for pad mount transformers, power centers & submersible transformers & other underground functions.

Warning: if you have to use a tester to determine if a line is alive you shouldnt be working around it!!! first thing we are all taught as Line clearance trimmers-----------treat all lines as energized!!

Now......whos your inspector from the utility? I know em all, better yet just tell me what Bldg he is out of thats all Ill need & you wont have to say his name, and yes Im saying you dont do line work under "legal" means with any utility, cause if ya did you wouldnt have to have testers that you got on the sly!!!!!! Nuff said about this "i work line work" crap!

Doug I'm going to try and clarify this one more time, so one day when we run into one another it can be a friendly thing. I don't do well with people calling me a liar or a thief.

we don't do the ten foot bull crap that a lot of people think is tree work. for example one of the last things we did was at like 11pm when a tree fell across the lines onto a trailer. in oakdale in the wagner trailer court. asphlund was there and someone from them or the power company would of had to contact us to go there. The testers are for only one reason there full range of use is worthless to us. they are for telling if lines are live or dead. the tree we lifted was laying on a power line that was live. thats why we have them so we can see for ourself that they are not energized. we do not work for them on any kind of schedule usually only in time of emergency when a bucket truck just isn't gonna cut it. we don't have any kind of roads that we specifically work on for clearance or anything like that. just if a tree is to big to be done with a bucket truck and in an emergency situation. there have been a lot of instances where we have been dispatched by 911. and the last real bad snow we had we where escorted by the national guard to clear road ways for ambulances to get into houses.

don't call me out on this again on the internet if you have a problem with it you have my phone number. or just hop in your car and take a ten minute ride and pay me a visit, its as simple as that.

I've worked for Asplundh and they don't call anyone for anything they do all the work themselves and there isn't a tree too big for them.

No, no, silly boy.. even the largest tree company in the world, still needs some "extra special" help, once in a while!!

Asplundh probably can't afford "Big Matt's" kind of equipment, on their own!! :p
