Looking for climbing help


 

Good afternoon,

I've got a rooftop 6m beam that I need to remount, and could really use some help, because I'm unable to do the climb. I barely got the old rotor removed, but my fear of heights and falling got me. It's a garage roof, one story, tripod mount, 5 feet of mast, rotor, then another 5 feet of mast and the 6m3. It just needs to be dropped in the rotor, tightened up, and a grounding wire replaced. I'm willing to pay, not looking for a freebie here.

Hell, if someone's got access to a bucket truck, that might work too... :)

Pat, how steep is the roof pitch?
I live in Flower Mound and I can come by and sewe if it is something I can do. I am not a young guy any more but I used to climb towers.

I¡¯d estimate it¡¯s a 30-35 degree pitch. The bad part is that the rotor is at eye level, so the beam needs to be lifted overhead. I¡¯m about ready to rent a personnel lift. Which is killing me because that¡¯s the cost of the concrete base for a crank up tower. :(
