Flag Pole Help

Get some of those ramps to drive the truck up on, or build them outta 2x12s. Wrap a chain around your bumper and to the pole base then drive up the ramp. Put some pillows on the pole in case it leans against the truck.

 

It is a thing a beauty aint it?

 

This also seems to be an effective way to get one down.

I would say hire someone like this to clean your pole, or paint it but apparently they do drugs. We don't!

How can Op not succeed with all these awesome ideas!

 

Sounds to me like he just wants someone else doing the work on his pole.

 

I think you are on to something Roberto

 

@My Name is Rahl

We are trying to solve this dilema here. What is your professional insight?

 

My professional insight is that we won't get a cleaned, painted flag pole until the cows come home, pigs fly and hell freezes over.

 

Damn. So little hope of Op coming through for the squad?

 

So little...that we're in the negative digits.

 

No pressure Op.

 

What do you mean “we”?

After reading his exuberance for the project when he first posted, then the foot dragging procrastination, I’ve got nothing but confidence @Gunshot-6A will get ‘er down this summer.

Or next.

Or maybe the one after...

 

Thanks again @RyanL for the help.

 

WTF!? I'm pretty sure we ALL helped!

 

Help is very generous term for your contribution

 

I think you were properly motivated by these fine gentlemen.
