Hope you get caught up DD.

It hasn't been cold here until this morning. It's 28, but it'll warm up in a little while. However, the wind shut down several of our jobs last week. Hard for us to work with wind over 20mph. It's actually safer to work work with a steady 20-25 mph wind than it is when it gust from 5- 20mph.

When it comes to wind every crane has different specs, OSHA has it's own and many plants/ job sites have another, but the 20-25 is about the cut off point for all. The operator has the ultimate decision and can shut down at any time he feels the lift is not safe.

Back in the mid late 70's i worked as a journeyman sign hanger along the Columbia Gorge in Wash/Ore. The wind blows 395 days of the year. I serviced and installed a ton of electric signs up to 120 feet height to the access door to the interior of the sign. I'd go up in a basket with remote controls in all kinds of weather and wind conditions. It was like being on the tip of a long fly fishing rod ! :shock: It got to the point where my nerves just weren't nervy enough and had to get outa the biz.
