Never did it for money. This was another Ham Radio project. We replace the hardline from the 650’ mark to the 1350’ mark. A lot of work. Block & tackle and more than a few on the tower. The tower was 1450 ft. tall, but I never went above the 1350 ft. point. Too close to the broadcast antennas.
We had a VHF repeater on that tower. Chief engineer liked us, was a Ham too.
Big problem I had was one of my friends mailed me photo’s from the project and our work. My wife “was not” impressed. hee hee hee
Still have the photo’s on one of my older computers.
Haven’t been on anything over 100 ft. in a while.
Dec 2009, I spent 2 weeks in ICU/Trauma Care after a 5 ft. fall. Lost a spleen and a kidney, 18 units of blood during the surgeries, 3 broken ribs, including one into the chest cavity, and a fractured vert.
Only good thing that came from it was that I found out that I was REALLY right with God, and ready to go. Disappointed, in fact, when I woke up in the hospital.
I do own a step ladder. I don't use it much anymore. ;)

Holy Crap I’m so acrophobic that just the text in this thread gives me vertigo!
Unless by some quirk of fate they didn't know about it.
