Ahhh shows your can't do attitude from CAN DO!, displacement of weight is what you need to take into consideration. you simply put down 1 or more sheets of 3/4 plywood on the outriggers to multiply the surface area so as not to eff anything up. but I digress, you would need the business of Mallard at its height (supposidly) to pay for it. But I have rented articulating boom lifts for a week at a time and to justify the high cost of rental, I lined up several jobs the same week and used it on multiple jobs. I just saw this on the road and remembered a recent post regarding a development with 4 story buildings etc that peeps were looking at 60ft ladders.
Better yet, make friends with tree trimming guys with high lift trucks.
thats what happenes when a "know it all" (uninsured) contractor doesn't first note where drywells and cesspools are before driving heavy vehichles on a customers property. or check where irrigation lines are and crush them leading to foundation leaks.
Hell, I know of landscapers digging holes for trees and plants rupturing water lines. This is why hiring a PROFESSIONAL is worth the premium price vs lowballers and hiring/TRAINING compentant employees.
That is why orgs like the RCIA are important.
Asking a potentail customer who is shopping around if other companies even bring these questions up will set you apart. I have landed many jobs as the high bidder with such detailed questions.
