My X husband started off as a lineman in 84 and worked on those big steel towers that they fly line through, then he started working on sub-stations, now he is a masters electrician. He saw his foreman get killed on the sub station they were working hot, fell on 69,000 volts. Be careful, just please always think,think,think,

Thanks badgirl. Yes, you must always stay "cut in" as that stuff is unforgiving. Snow level in NoCal is at 3000 feet this morning and supposed to be at 1000 feet by Friday night.

Off to work I go....
