Ever see some of the "old" films up on sky scraper construction with 
some one "riding the ball", 20 or 30 plus stories up and they weren't 
even hooked to the cable.

Ah, if I could get one for that.  They have to put the extension on 
here, but that's not a problem because then can't make the turn from the 
road into the driveway. Even if they could there is no place long enough 
for them to lay out the boom and hook up the extension. 125' HyRanger is 
about $1,100 to $1250 a day although I can get one for the week end at 
the day rate. If it wasn't for the power lines they might be able to 
work from the road.  So mine is a strictly climb it your self or hire a 
climber(s)
