Just some work pics

Good thing I stopped and got a couple pieces of pizza, looks like I'm needing supper.

If the crane had a fridge and a microwave, would you ever go home?

Gotta go home, I'm a terrible cook

They're back there somewhere. I think. Unless their radio is dead. Which could be, because they keep asking me to move them 2" in random directions.

I've been just revving the throttle before I actually move, and half the time that's enough- "stop-stop". View attachment 362684

I have little experience compared to most crane operators. It was a serious freakout when the guy on the roof in the blind had his radio go out as I was bringing in a load. I was getting ready to go running up the stairs to check on him when we got back in communication.
After that incident I made that an item, have a helper or second radio please. The roof was safety lined off so nobody could come to the edge and signal me.

Everyone having cell phones has made it so much easier if the radio dies.

Flipped a water tank and carried it down the road a half mile or so. No room with the trees to get a lowboy in there, and had a couple power lines to go under. Crane to lay it down and two telehandlers for the road.

They are going to sandblast and paint it for a new campground.

Bunch of cabins and bathrooms made from conexes. Had to shove them back in the trees. Had to tug one in place with the pickup, not enough room under the tree to pick it all.

Going to be a wedding venue. Don't tell anyone, but there was a 6' blacksnake under one of them. He's going to startle someone on a late night potty trip..

It's a wonder I didn't take off my A2B cable in the trees.
