And now the sixth insulator; this one wasn't that deeply buried but instead a lot of weight was upon it, and I couldn't lift the pole a millimetre! What to do?? Idea!! - the jackhammer in my car! Said and done, I hiked back to my car, carrying the five Deltas - pretty heavy! Came back with the jackhammer, and in a minute the insulator was "hanging" in free air. But on this one the hemp was very stubborn, meaning I had to work hard for 10 minutes, jerking it back and forth...finally the hemp gave up its grip, and this is the result! Phuuuh, hard work but I love it!!
