Funny Burnham....but,... I think of the skills guys like you Stig and others have that if not shared will be opportunity lost. Some skills could be thought of as, if not shared, lost to mankind. I've seen shows on rebuilding a state capital building where the carpenter/artisan had to re-discover how to do certain things. No living carpenters knew how to do it.


I'll have to read back through this thread soon and see what you put down years ago.

Lol Graeme is a meme

I can do a half assed job on lots of different tasks.


Sometimes quantity has its own quality.

But then I’d have nothing to complain about🤔

Buy an old crane. Maintenance and repair should do the trick.

Mine is being adaptable. I have:
Been a contract climber/rigger
Been a handcutter in the woods
Been a business owner
Been a company man
Been a foreman
Been a machine operator
Etc

I do not claim to be outstanding at anything, but I can usually get the job done

Back at post #56.

I must say (re post #56) that "protester-occupied structures" sounds like it would be the most fun to deal with.....

 

[Burnham]

I forgot to say, Merle...you are most generous. I appreciate it.

It was the most stressful work I ever did, Scott. Not fun at all. Documented to some degree here.

I can splice rope, shuffle up trees high enough to cut the right bits off and I'm known to make the occasional humourous comment, normally at the wrong time. I think that's about all I'm known for in the places that I'm known at all

 

[cory]

You forgot humble and self deprecating

Yeah, that was a good one.

My niche, narrow access, light foot print, get'er down, clean up well, and have a beer afterwards.

My hat is off to you, Sir! You definitely handled it differently than I would have!
