Sunday - Lacing the Hard-line - October 31th

Yet another marathon day as Dad & I spent ten hours working at the base of the tower.

We started off by installing the ice bridge between the tower and the repeater shed.

Then we fabricated a mounting bracket on the tower to hold a row of Andrew clips for all the runs of hard-line.

Today Dad even figured out how to use my digital camera and took a few action photos of me up on a ladder clamping the runs of hard-line in the bracket at approximately ten feet. This is where I transitioned the runs of hard-line from the bundles coming down the length of the tower to the brackets and clips over to the repeater shed.

Dad spent some time up on the ladder too... Checking all the clips to make sure I had them tight.

Once we had the first mount with clips installed on the tower I installed al the clips on the ice bridge and laced the five smaller super-flex cables across the ice bridge and onto the repeater shed.

As the day and out light started to run out we just finished up the last of the five super-flex cables.
