Oh dear,

Did you get it down ok ?

you need to be so careful doing this (as you now no)

I lost a section of the end, but never a section of pole 


How did this happen, please explain.

This happened over a year ago, but i have only just cracked uploading photos.

Well I had the wireless bullet cam taped to the vac head, and i was being a bit too conscientious poking right down into the down pipe and got it wedged in between pipe & overhanging tiles (the cam getting caught) so i was walking the pole left and then right trying to get a shallow enough angle to free it up.

In the process I managed to pull the c/f tubing away from the top section!! I tried putting section back in and wiggling again no joy...had to give it up!

Went back a week later tried again and got it out straight away, the terrential rain had washed the tape loose the pole came out but cam nowhere to be seen   It would of obviously been nackered anyway.

You left a pole hanging out of the gutter for a week? What if it came loose and fell on top of someone

I would of been in trouble, that wasnt going anywhere without encouragement.

If it makes me look any less of a cowboy I was worried about it...does that count?

[Smudger]

well, i don't think i could have left it there for a week,

what poles were you using ?  modular push fit - or the type that are clamped together ?

Yes modular push fit. and yes left it up there a week, as I said I did try I came back next day with my biggest ladders..didnt work was even thinking of getting a cherry picker to get it down but by the time I got back there again (3rd visit in the 7days) I managed to get it out again by putting the sections back together and lifting it out minus the camera. There was nothing I could do about it boys.

In the end I was thinking i would have to spend the money I got for the job on a cherry picker to get it down I wouldnt of left it there much longer.

I'm sure that would of gone along way if the pole done some serious damage. I wouldn't of been able to sleep at night leaving that sticking out of the gutter. If I couldn't of got it loose I would of hired a lift as you suggested to get the thing out
