Today’s job can go straight to hell. Heavy reduction in heavy rain and pretty blustery also. BT pole with 16 lines and if you count 15...yeah...I fluffed one.

 

I thought I was out of the danger zone when I cleared the pole but when I was bringing the top out on the other side, I threw branch down as a gust hit. 

 

It took 13 billion years to finish.

 

I didn’t take a pic before I went up. Only when I messed up.

Nasty, even worse in the rain.

Yeah it’s not often when I don’t enjoy my job and that day was certainly “one of those days” 

 

To be honest, I think I was a bit careless too just because I wanted it to end so badly but that’s just bad work ethic in this trade otherwise I wouldn’t of broken that BT line. I should’ve waited until the wind died down abit.

 

I did manage to find a picture back when I was quoting for the job though which puts it in a better perspective. You can hardly see the BT pole.
