I do the same thing daily brother, respect the grind. learned a couple new things as well, definitely using that! Keep it up brother

Hey bro I hope you read this. I'm not knocking you at all looks like you got the idea down. A lot of these guys are giving you solid advice even though it sounds like they are slamming you or just acting like know-it-alls. First off when you go to set your Lahser on the line please close the gates one day it will save the Lasher. Next when you get to the Pole swap the last year from one side to the other. Set your bugs cut your wire. Bug it offf strap it tag it bond it cut everything then wrap your handline twice around the bucket. Boom down a couple inches and say yep or pull me forward easy the lasher is tied on. Instead of all that hand pulling and booming down to pull forward. Also Instead of the groundhand pulling the lasher he can make straps for you

Damn dude you are on point holy shit. You’re like one of those guys in the army that can clean a gun in record time blindfolded but you work for a cable company instead

Why is the lineman changing the lashing wire? And why did the lineman pull the fiber off the spool? Groundhand job forsure.

I do line work myself, pretty cool to see how other places hang it. I like the content man keep it up.

[corbenverne]

i find it easier to put the rollers on the sides of the bucket, in the bars

When I was spooling off fiber by hand, I imagined that if I ever went on The Price Is Right they would have to edit down my spin for time.

[kerzytibok]

I live in a rural area and I still remember the excitement in 2011 when I saw a crew of these cable guys hanging coax from pole to pole on my road --- knowing soon I would finally have broadband cable internet and could finally ditch the dialup bullshit I was dealing with for over 15 years!

[davidkimmons]

why not wait to cut all your straps and lashing wire til you are done? you are wasting alot of time bringing your cutters out every time like that to indivually cut everything. next time take two coils of extra lashing wire with you so you can change the wire while youre up in the air. it will save you alot of time

[culbyj]

Have u ever had issues with that altec Boom control Stop working intermittently? either from ground controls or platform.. whereas u have to let go of safety or reset kill switch? Your attention to detail on the lashing clamps is spot on..

[woodhook]

nice watching the operation. brings back memories

[juliocesarguerrerohernande]

Hello dude, I am from Mexico, I admire your work and how great you are. I was wondering if I could buy a cheaper lasher machine in your country, since in mine they are extremely expensive. Hopefully you can help me, I still do it by hand. greetings

[kceks]

Wish I had you running fiber in my city.

[ericcousineau]

First time i see someone leaving the cable outside the back door of the lasher!

[LeslieHarvey]

I did a lot of this in barrow AK as a one man crew and it was exhausting work by myself.

[virgilwedmore]

Make you 5x faster if you saved all your cuts for last only should have cutters in ur hands 2 times each pole 1 to cut after swap then last at after all your bands ands what not then cut rest after lasher is sent just how we do it saves a little time each Poole but adds up keep on keeping it on my gut

[davidritchotte]

Why lash from the ground much quicker in the air ?

[bradley]

Why do you put the fiber below the back gate as apposed to inside the barrel above the back gate

[chocolatemilk]

how does it take typically for the service to go live after fiber lines are installed? 3 days ago at&t installed fiber in my neighborhood but the service isn’t live yet
