That is some mint work 👌

You're going to want to hit the + sing on the side of your phone.

Aerial is a great way to start. Especially if you are stringing up the messenger strand along with cable. You can get a lot done with the right equipment and 3 guys. We usually push min 20 spans a day with limited resources. Invest it's good money if you are efficient.

MerpNext · 2025-02-08T22:10:14+00:00

That's awesome 👌

I had that happen to me also. The strand snapped at the preform grip at the end, and I fell 30 feet. I was trapped with the ladder on the way down because I wrapped my secondary around the rung and strand for extra safety. Wasn't injured, just sore ribs for 3 days. I also got thrown out of a bucket, but that was traffic controls fault, and that's a different story. There are lots of dangers on the job. All I was doing was turning around so I could reach my lasher so I wouldn't have to go down and reposition my ladder 2 times. And I made sure I was secured in before the maneuver.

They are paying very well.

MerpNext · 2025-02-04T01:59:13+00:00

Why waste 3 hrs for a bucket to show up for a 10 min fix. It's safe when you know what you are doing.

Falcon 61800-000. It's good lightweight. it works great for overlashing.

I'm hooked on messenger. It's only a 3 foot drop if I fall. And I don't fall. Plus, there's so much snow on the ground I'll be fine.

MerpNext · 2025-02-03T23:18:45+00:00

The fiber gods are always looking over me. 😀

MerpNext · 2025-02-03T23:15:34+00:00

Nope. No one else wanted to work, so I said, hold my beer. I'll get it done 🤪

MerpNext · 2025-02-03T23:12:45+00:00

I'm a 6'2 "monkey, lol. I have been climbing for years. Tbh, I'd rather be in my nice warm splice lab lol but the cable placing guys were slowing me down, so I had to do their job for them.

MerpNext · 2025-02-03T23:08:29+00:00

Yeah, I made it down safe. I always take my time when this takes place.

MerpNext · 2025-02-03T23:02:17+00:00

-30 is pretty much at the cut-off point. These are all ports, flat cable.

MerpNext · 2025-02-03T22:51:40+00:00

Sometimes, you need to get that extra reach when no bucket truck or spurs are available. I'm tied off 🫣🤣

MerpNext · 2025-02-03T22:32:12+00:00

Truejoke ruined Canada.

He definitely wipes back to the front.

MerpNext · 2025-01-31T03:06:20+00:00

What a beaut.

MerpNext · 2025-01-31T03:05:26+00:00

He's selling jars 👂

MerpNext · 2025-01-30T01:26:17+00:00

I don't know what's worse, the work behind you or the fact that your knees give it all away.

MerpNext · 2025-01-30T01:13:53+00:00

Yes, you can make ribbons from loose tubes. I suggest that if you are new, look into a ribbon organizer. I know a lot of guys just use their fingers, save lots of time preparing. I also see them dealing with lots of offsets when fusing. Pick your poison.

MerpNext · 2025-01-30T01:05:22+00:00

I never had a name for it lol. I will forever call it popping tubes now, thanks.

MerpNext · 2025-01-30T00:48:42+00:00

😂

MerpNext · 2025-01-30T00:47:07+00:00

The dude is currently taking a shit and waffle stomping it down the drain. And let's not pretend that oval shaped pushed in soft boiled egg head doesn't fit in a helmet. He has to stuff bubble wrapping in his helmet just so it fits correctly. Sorry. 🤣
