Re: 2013 haspin BS thread.

Then you would hate the cell towers we are building next month. 280 feet to the lower platform, still have to engineer a pulling system to pull our power cables up there.

it is good stuff. your standard pad mount transformer behind McDonald has 181 gallons in it. they add up fast. as long as it is mineral oil you are good, but some of the newer insulating fluids is silicone so just have to watch out for that. Also xfmr oil in a Newtonian fluid so it gets thicker when cold.

So.......you got one of those for 2 bills.........I know you work on electric......but how did you manage to purchase one.......something special, cause you are in the line of work or is that something that goes bad and anyone can buy the bad one?

Sounds like you bid on almost anything:-D..........did you ever do anything with that big heater/air-conditioner you had in the back of your truck last time?
