Jokes on you then.

Risking your life for a tech job is just foolish. Bragging about it, doubly so.

All of which is routine tech work and not what we are talking about here. (hypothetically anyway )

i thought we were duscussing why a tech refused to throw a ladder thinking it was life threatening and other guys complaining it was starting to get dark out. none of which are a reason to leave a customer without service. not as if a hurricane was going on blowing 50mph winds.

dismiss it all you want, but fact is the OP had lazy techs.

I have a low threshold for iffy installs during the day, forget about trying them at night. You admit to not having a problem risking your life everyday. I absolutely positively have a problem with that. I can only imagine how that manifests itself during your installs.

In my area of installation, if the job can't pass a quality check we shouldn't be doing it. That includes drop wires hugging branches, which is what I assume would have to happen here.

Because quite frankly, somebody will have to come right back and fix it after it snaps. Makes zero sense.
