The First 1000 Foot TV Mast

[Yorkie]

The guys who paint electricity pylons do so with no harnesses, which would be too much of an impediment, and a 10L can of paint hanging from their waist. (too far down to keep going down to fiil a smaller can then climb back up). It's quite safe though - the electricity is off! They have to get their faces lathered up with a thick coating of Vaseline as they get completely clarted up with paint due to the high winds up there.

Whenever I'm doing some job or another that I don't like doing - such as laying fibreglass roof insulation, I always try to think about tasks I'd find even more of a chore - TV aerial erector, roofer, removal man, carpet fitter, white line road painter, cone 'putter outer/gather upper' etc, and of course pylon painter! Oh well, it all makes work for the working class, and makes me glad that I'm a man of leisure. Well not quite, but at least I'm nominally my own boss, albeit under the supervision of the household 'director of finance'.

Stuff this for a game of soldiers!:
