    "I guess my biggest one is after racking the bucket, some dumbass lifting the outriggers before I get out of the bucket,off the truck and get my feet back on the ground. I took a quick trip to the ground once because of that. Was straddle of the bucket getting out, and up came the knees! Needless to say, after my cuss fit and chewing some asses....it never happened again." Posted by J426H


    I make it very clear if i'm in the bucket let me KNOW you are raising the riggers and if your in the bucket i will let you know.......

    I once worked for a guy that wanted his washers diamond shaped. Why? So water runs off them right. But what about curved washers? F*** off he said

    Worked for an REA that wanted the washers squared because when the wood shrunk over time the washer would "diamond" indicating the bolt was loose.

    As for my pet peeve it's leaving bin doors open. If your workin of the side and come down out of the air with the door open it gets bent to he**. Lay down bins that you are in alot are cool thought like the bolt bin.

    Thirteen years after I retired, who gives d--- what my pet peeve was, but here it is."People that wouldn't take the time to block and key an unguyed pole properly and then a few months later someone else had to do it right." Be safe and look out for your buddy.

    the way we do it is take a 3 or 4 foot piece of pole, slice it down the middle and bury it just below ground level crossways on the stress side of the pole (round part toward pole and flat side toward dirt) and done correctly it will help hold the strain on an un guyed pole. we still do it quite often.
