I appreciate you, we are looking into getting some! Do you have a suggestion on a good brand?

MSA ALTAIR 5X@@lifeasweknowit5280

Blower also.

And maybe some confined space training

MSA. They have an all in one confined spaces kit too.

Thank you!

You should definitely make some videos and post them. I’d watch them!

Thank you!

Thanks

If I had a dollar for every time that's happened....And the older the site the worse the location process is.

We hardly ever do. A lot of it ends up being rough approximation based on what we do know, or can find and make sense of.

That’s awesome! Which end is more fun?

stop signs are merely a suggestion

Awesome, I’ve only handled fiber.

@@lifeasweknowit5280 I have a feeling that with satellite technology (think Starlink) and wireless advancements, even fiber may become as outdated as copper? I know being an old-school PBX programmer/Copper tech from the past, the data networking teams quickly eliminated my job when everything went over to cloud servers from internal private business exchanges.

That wasn’t in the town telephone buildings was it?

@@rmhanseniii If you're talking about AT&T 1A2 switches it was, but I worked mainly business systems.

@@merlepatterson ok…I used to repair light fixtures in the old Bell Atlantic telephone buildings and in the cable vaults where the phone wires come in from the street.

Thank you. Currently we just build OSP for other providers. I’m part owner in this business. Someday I’d like to provide data services but for now we do OSP. Thanks for the support!

What is your niche in the industry?

You guys do great work! You definitely want to transition to becoming the service provider, owning the customer, and earning recurring monthly revenue. Best business model. Apart from operating an ISP, I assist new service providers with getting their network designed, edge routing setup using juniper devices, and making sure they have a solid plan to scale/grow. We should talk sometime. Continue the kick ass work my friend.

Thank you! Very cool, it would be cool to talk at some point.

To be honest with you I’m not sure what a fox and hound is? Lol. I’ve pulled a lot of fiber and haven’t had it break internally. I think fiber technology has come a long way. We have blown Fiber too, it’s a lot less work if the conduit good.

@lifeasweknowit5280 The fox and hound is the directional beaper that tracks the signal down a wire.

Oh I see, yeah we call it a Locater. The brand is called pipe horn

you definitely can pull fiber. it has incredible tensile strength.

I can’t

Yes we work all over Colorado.

Usually but I did leave one in the 4”. I should have

I believe the Man Hole got covered during construction on the road and when the warehouses were being built. They don’t normally cover them

Do you have any suggestions? I use GoPros at the moment

always
