A Water Tower Job in ST. IGNACE MI.

[perchin]

Some cool shots of a recent job we did for AT&T..... I like in the last couple you can see our great Mackinac Bridge.. :mrgreen:


Installed the carrier AT&T on her.




You start off climbing up the inside of one of the legs...if you have Claustrophobia then you wouldn't like it.. or afraid of heights.


You then get to a hatch, climb through, take a short rest on the platform that's inside the leg.


You then climb up through the middle of the main bowl...which gets very tight for us big guys....lol...my back touches and slides up all the way. :roll:


You then climb from the top of the outside of the tank down to the deck, where we mounted the antenna's....


Cool that you can see the Mackinac Bridge in these one's.. :mrgreen:

Nice pics. I grew up a little north of there in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.

Looks like fun.
I run power for the shelters, so I work around towers all the time. I always knew you guys had the good view.

Me and heights just don't go together. My cojones draw up just looking at your pictures. [-o<
Hats off to you for doing a job that I know I couldn't.

So are u back in the sky/air now?
I hope so because it looks like u really like your work and that is hard to do.

Nice pictures! That would be neat to go up there and get those nice shots.

No..... We just have so much work right now that we didn't have a available crew, so me and a couple other seniors had to go do it. It was fun to get out of the office though.

oops... I forgot to throw this one in-between the 5th and 6th picture..... its the photo of the ladder that goes from the top of the bowl down to the wrap around deck.

I'll climb the ladder....NOT THE BOWL! :shock:

At least, not without a case of "mudbutt". (obscure reference)

Neat shots! As Chris stated, I might try the vertical climb, but I'm not gettin' near that ladder going across and down the exterior of the bowl. :shock:
