Hell of a job Hogz. Stuffing an insulated liner in that thing could not have been much fun.
LMFAO!
That is putting it lightly. Trying to wrestle it in, when the basket didn't quite reach, with the majority dangling over my should and the basket was a workout to say the least.
Worse was getting it 1/2 way down and hitting a lip in the clay liner. Not sure if Blue could hear me, but there was plenty of F's, S's and other choice words one would expect to come from my mouth.
So I pulled it back out and we hooked an eye bolt through the T cap, and a rope to the end. Still no go.
I knew I would have to spin the liner before even going down there.
Spinning while in the basket, and up and over the boom left me out of breath LOL.
But it dropped down to the NEXT lip. Spin again. This is when the words, there is no offsets or mortar ooze in the clay tiles came to mind LOL. But, we got it down.
So I ask, did the Hole in the T line up for the snout to mate with. That is when things started going really smooth. It was facing the right way.
Blue then says, can you pull it back up about a foot. I could not get the think to budge. The basket mind you was about 2' to 3' away from the old flue we were lining.
I could get no leverage. So I leaned over and laid one elbow onto the chimney cap and tried to pull up that way as leverage. The damn lift starts beeping.
Thats when the step ladder came out and was laid again the corner of the chimney, LOL.
Then spinning and raising and lowering went alot easier.
Oh, then the lift won't work while I am on the upper roof. Two front pads sank lifting the rear ones triggering the safety.
Of course we didn't find that out, until I have Blue put a ladder on the lower back roof, then pull it up and set it up from that roof to the upper roof so I could get down.
All in all, it was fun and rewarding to help Blue out.
I'd do it again in a heartbeat.
Note, when you use a little lift like that, swinging it side to side.....go real slow, THAT, did make me nervous!
Felt like an amusement ride ready to go bad LOL. Lots of sloppy side to side swaying.
Guess I should have put the harness on. LOL.........Nah
