View from over the top


Looking down at the house from our perch on the CRANE, we are pinned in a man-box at the end of the jib.   My estimate is that is about 123 feet of crane and jib combined.   Ronn and I went up in the box together and I was terrified on the way up (the harness did not give me much comfort).  Once we were up there Frank's gentle handling made it a great experience and the terror lessened a little.   That said, I believe that there are still indentations in the man-box frame where my fingers were gripping it.   Thanks to Frank for a very safe trip, my fears were not justified at all.
