    New company, new job = Lots of fun!

    Evening all,

    Its been a while since I have been on here! So here is a lil update of what i have been up to!

    So since selling the Storm Trooper 2 years ago I have been a busy bee!

    I am now rocking a yamaha R6 and a 2010 Ford Transit

    I have started my own Aerial and Satellite company installing a massive range of digital tv products.

    Last November a collegue and me went on a IRATA Rope Acces Course. Which now allows scale almost any building, of any height to install communal TV and satellite systems. Here is an example of what we get up to:



    Spot the worker!




    My view down 16 storys


    From the very top to the very bottom!


    The rope rigged up that keeps us safe and sound


    Different style rig


    Cables installed to allow all 64 flats to have perfect freeview and the option to have SkyHD etc




    Looking up


    4 of these cabinets on the roof each feeding 16 flats




    What you guys think????

    That high rise dwellers don't like pigeons... or strangers on their balconies?

    On the whole, I'd rather be yachting. Still, a bit of an adrenaline rush no doubt.

    Yeah i came back. One of the guys on the course says there is a lot of abseiling work in Oz, very tempting to go back over there! Lol
