Greetings everyone, Well the two EWE's are back up and going. I was up the tree in the backyard 3 times yesterday. Then in the afternoon inbetween service calls, I got the first 450-500 feet of the Eastern beverage up. But what a job, more ladders and trees to climb. One thing I have had trouble with is we lost so many trees and limbs that my supports are amost gone. I managed to find enough places to support the beverage, but not easy. Of the 5 trees I had behind my house, I have 3 left and thoe are probably on borrowed time especially if we continue to get get more of these hurricane force winds Not an easy task to deal with. Plus the farm next door is moving their gate, so up over the hill I will have to put supports of 10-15 feet so they can get the farm equip back and forth. That is not going to help the directivity of the beverage I am sure, but not much else I can do, if I want to keep it. Then I also have the job to rebuilding the rest of the beverage on the far side of the hill, as it is broken and torn to bits, supports broken, wire snapped in many places. Not fun to say the least, at least another half a day of work there. This morning as I type this, I am in quite a bit of pain, going up and down the ladders, tree climbling, and all of the stretching. I used muscles I have not used in years probably. Oh yes, in the middle of all this, I did get a new porch light put on that took 20 minutes, so at least I have that back too.I guess I should be happy at nearly 59 I can still do all of this, as I just found out a local locksmith died last Sunday at 58, the same age I am.
