I thought I'd include what I've been up to recently. Last week I had the opportunity to replace the spire on top of the old bell tower of Norwich's Marion Cross School with a weather vane donated by the outgoing 6th grade class. I had a really cool way to access the hard to reach location. Thanks to the Norwich Fire Department.
I had to wear a helmet and a safety belt with a huge carabiner that I hooked onto the top of the ladder to keep me from making a mistake that could lead to a bumpy slide down the ladder.
Firefighter Matt Swett helped me from the ladder, while Peter Griggs was always at the ready at the base of the ladder at the ladder controls. They were very professional.
Here I am using a cordless DeWalt reciprocating saw to cut the old weathered wooden spire, with Matt holding it to keep it from bouncing its way down to the ground.

Not the best of places to forget any tools needed in the next few series of tasks.
Almost done.
There you are, job completed. All in a normal morning's work on the crew.
