Title: Anyone Derby/Ashbourne way got a 40-45 foot pole to hire
Post by: chopsie on October 19, 2011, 11:07:47 am
I could do with hiring a pole off someone for a couple of big one off jobs i have had come in. I could struggle with my slx25 and ladders, but ideally a pole of 40-45 foot would be good (at a guess). bigger if needs be, its only a few really high ones i cannot reach, a good sized gooseneck on it would be ideal too. Anyone got one they fancy hiring out?

my thoughts would be..

1. I haven't got a pole that high, so I'll have to buy one.

2. I can't afford a pole so I'll sub the work to somebody I know.

3. Tell them I can't do it.

Not come on to this forum asking to hire a pole, It's just ridiculous.

Why don't you just buy a pole?

That's all I'm getting at.

Even if the job doesn't cover the cost of buying it.

Oh so only cowboys use ladders?  At this moment in time, 2 one off jobs with about 5 windows between them does not justify me buying a pole i would never use.

Only coyboys stand on top of a ladder with a pole.

It's unsafe.

What a shambles of a site this is.

Someone asks to hire a pole.  Not borrow, or beg, but hire, and gets panned.

Not a pleasant place to be these days.

Not come on to this forum asking to hire a pole, It's just ridiculous.

Why would asking to hire a pole be "ridiculous"?  Do you rent anything in your life or do you always buy? If it's a job he's going to do once or infrequently hed be mad not to hire if he could.  And if I was local Id love to get cash from him for a pole that would otherwise just sit unused in the van.  Everyone wins.  Or is that "ridiculous"?
