Yeah, I've seen those. Wasn't there some reg that went in fairly
recently (OSHA / Lineman) that said they couldn't fall more than 3
feet without arrest now? My memory is a little foggy, and I'm not

2016-06-03 Thread Adam Moffett
We recently put some of these in, I think every 18" on a 60' (AGL) pole 
and it took hours.  Lots of time drilling.


If the pole company will pre-drill them for you at a reasonable price, 
then pay them to do it.
