Electure,
You have nothing on me mate. [Linked Image]
I may have told this story before too.
I was working with an Apprentice Line-Mechanic one day looking to remove a "Suspect Pole" from down by the Ocean-front.
Anyhow I seem to remember this because we were driving down the Main Road and my charge was waving at all the pretty girls, from the Pole Truck.
I was in radio communication with the Crew down the road for Isolation purposes, from the basket of the EWP.
We cut all the wires away on the 400/230V side of the pole and had the 11kV side left, when all of a sudden the pole gave way and turned itself upside-down.
It seemed to dance over the fence of the nearby property, it smashed the glasshouse and the adjoined Chicken coop an the end of the pole smashed the Conservertory(sp?), on the front of the house.
Chickens were running everywhere!.
I got into a great deal of trouble over that, but it's nothing like my mates with the Pole Truck in the middle of the river.
As those that frequent the Chat rooms will attest.
Believe me guys, if you make a mistake, you aren't alone, we've always done something worse!. [Linked Image]
