rope runner

[TimBr]

So I dropped my runner from 60' today onto concrete pavers. Day five in a row of rain or rain/wind related emergency calls on top of normally scheduled jobs, last job, pouring rain, pulling my rope, didn't see that runner was still on. It rode up to my TIP, and tended cleanly off the end of the line. 6 inches to the right would have put it in the mud.
Shoot dang. I'm so bummed.

Really sorry to hear of this John. Hopefully all of the extra work will have more than paid for a new one. Or two, if the mood strikes.

Don't expect so, I will post some pics once my boy is down for the night. Banged up pretty good.

Going to be tough to be w out it for a bit tjough!

Jon, I got a couple BDB's and no real tree work planned for a while. If would like to borrow my Royal Blue Runner until Sants comes just let me know. I can get it in the mail tomorrow if you need it.

There's always the possibility of filing an insurance claim, or ask Kevin B for the replacement of the damaged parts? Just a couple of ideas...

Frank, that's a hell of an offer. Let me send you a pm

Dave, it's my own fault, lack of focus trying to get out of the rain faster, Kevin is certainly not on the hook for it. I'm not aware of any thing insurance wise. Is there something that would cover an employees personal gear?

 

[Dave Rohach]

If you require the apparatus for employment then you may have a viable claim for an insurance claim. As far as Kevin B , he may have the replacement parts for you to purchase, by no means would the damage be his fault. Just a less expensive means of repairing your RR. I'm just looking at alternative means of being productive for the least amount of greenbacks.

[JontreeHI]

I read you, makes sense

 

[Dave Rohach]

It's just a thought, I'd be trying these ideas if it were mine. That's a lot of cash to drop for another RR, No Pun intended!

[JontreeHI]

Haha no more dropping.

 

[Dave Rohach]

No Doubt! Too Freakin Expensive!

I was looking for the "double-like" button, but couldn't find it. You are the best, monkeylove.

Frank, I got my walnut pieces in the mail....took some time to sand everything down properly, and they feel great. I think I may be utilizing my thumb on the bird a lot more. Very comfortable. Thank you once again.

 

[NE Tree]

Also got mine today (thanks again Frank). They look great even though I haven't had a chance to sand then down yet. What are you guys thinking for the finish?

 

[Steve Connally]

How are you sanding them? Are you rounding the top? I sprayed mine with poly and they look great. Thanks frank

 

[NE Tree]

I think I may end up rounding off all of the edges so the whole thing feels smooth.

 

[MikePowers321]

I used an air gun/grinder with sanding disk and a some stain. I liked the way they felt better after aggressively sanding

 

[monkeylove]

Glad you guys like them. I still have some so if you screw one up sanding it just ask me for another one.

 

[monkeylove]

Mike what's up with the Sugu in the back? Do you use the back also, or do others? I have never really tried that rolling the back thing Kevin talks about.

 

[Tuebor]

I'd like to know too. Feel like I might be missing something. I saw Kevin Sunday but forgot to ask him to show me.
