Did you just say "ANSI/ICEA S-76-474-2004 (Standard for Neutral-Supported Power Cable Assemblies with Weather-Resistant Extruded Insulation Rated 600 Volts)" Thats what one of my tattoos says!

So back to the OP How close do you climb to an uncoated primary??

I got a feeling that would get you spending the rest of your days in Guantanamo...

Ive often wondered lets say you take 500' of copper wire, tie it off to an earth anchor and stake it into the ground under a transmission line. Walk back 200 or 300' paying out the wire and leaving the slack at the earth anchor; tie the wire to a throw weight and shoot it in an arch over the...

you mean distribution lines.... not transmission lines right?

It aint my job... This was for the landscaper I was trying to work for. I told him to take care of it and call me. If it was my job I would have done it myself taped the line to the trunk and been done. But not for the money he was thinking.

If I smashed a deck I could fix that, but being uninsured taking down a primary, if It didnt kill me would probly wreck me financially.

it is impossible to drop backwards away from the street without taking down the house drop. from the trunk of the tree back to the pole in the back yard the lines taper from 10 or so feet apart to a point at the pole. Even dropping the stick alone that way would be a an AMAZING feat requiring as...

Thats it with the truck in the drive and the blue dot but it is on the east side of the road the way i see it. it isnt the one in the middle of the yard.. its right off the back right corner of the house... 6-7 feet to the right 4' past maybe

I would have written im a note saying "I quit", walked up, put in his shirt pocket and punched him right in the mouth.

its on milbrook 2 houses north of cannon on the right. the tree was definitely leaning away but from my stance even if its 5 feet from the top primary its a no go to me. Ill climb a dead tree, or a cracked tree, or all sorts of dangerous. House drops and such dont bother me at all but the...

5467 millbrook bedford ohio In the top down picture its dead but its hard to see the lines.. you can see the shadow of the lines. In the streetview the tree is very much alive and it looks farther than it was...

Sorry, thats just a stock picture but it illustrates exactly how the lines were configured... With the secondary distribution and the horizontally oriented primary lines. For our discussion you can assume the tree was right in between the house and the lines... I have the address still I wonder...

I know all about the MAD tables, and honestly when it comes to electricity I just dont mess around. I walked from a job the other day and I have thought about it alot since then. Looking at that picture assuming the trunk of the tree goes up right next to it and the canopy is twice that...
