'LECTRICIANS 1-TRANSFORMER 0

Sometimes you have to punt.What you see below is a transformer,and true to its name,it transforms one voltage to another (ex:480 to 120 volts).This one weighs 250 pounds,relatively small really.
Our mission was to mount it-from the ceiling.Yesterday 4 guys tried to lift it into place,which worked pretty well until they got it over their heads.That's when it started wobbling and swaying around like it was alive.
So today we got a chain hoist from the shop,and that's what we got,the hoist.We had nothing to attach our transformer to it.So,my coworker improvised some straps.



And here it is...in place without anybody having to go to the emergency room.That's an 8 foot ladder to give you some perspective.



We are working tomorrow,and while the money will be nice,I was really looking forward to a weekend off and if not playing,at least visiting with Badger.You gotta get it while you can as far as overtime on this particular job.I can't pass it up.
Have a good weekend!
Oh yeah...I found another,more elaborate movie making site.I present:
