I’m not one to criticize how someone does their job, you seem to have a good grasp on what you do , but I am an old timer , going on 50 years in the business. I don’t see very many young installers using spurs any more. When I started out we had to be able to climb, it was a prerequisite. Is that not the case any more. I have always assumed that a ladder was the most dangerous tool on the truck and I never used it if there was any way around it. I’d appreciate hearing your thoughts on the subject. And in closing , I assume that you are a young man, I hope you enjoy your career as much as I did and still do, it’s been a great ride
I’m a US based fiber/Coax installer we don’t get training fur spurs unless you go out into the rural areas that it’s more common to see poles in the middle of a field or tree line. I have my own set of climbing gear I keep just in case but I use my ladder 99% of the time just because it gives me more flexibility when running the long 2000 feet drops we do on occasion 😅
Watch some more videos 😅 I climb when needed. I just have a lot of ladder experience so I feel safe and efficient on them. Also I work solo a lot and don’t like the idea of being “stranded” get it 😅 with all my tools and truck unattended. I like climbing. But I find it slower than ladder 😅
I do envy you screwing in your clips onto the wooden siding. I always had to nail them onto the mortar joints between the bricks. Banged my fingers pretty good a couple times lol
Yeah pretty lucky. Don’t come across much brick and mortar here. A lot more stucco or plaster exterior walls tho. I still drill into them tho with tapcons or these tornado screws
I have installed thousands of those Qspan clamps that way over the years working for the phone company, that drop isn’t going anywhere. You need to stop complaining so much and get the job done.
@@Goldwinger74 all my jobs get done my friend. I’m trying to teach people what not to do. I’m pretty sure I even said in the video it wasn’t going anywhere. Yet it’s still not placed properly. We follow strict guidelines here and a thorough inspector would fail that. It may not be the same everywhere, but I teach what I know.
@FyBurz it's actually a perfect amount. It's always better to have too much cable to work with than too short. Especially with fiber it's nice to have slack when you're splicing. If your connector fails, you got lots to work with. I hate when guys leave very little slack. Same with copper too really.
@@derekwilson6396 definitely, that’s the main reason. If the cut off is recycled anyways. The rare time I leave less than 3 spans is just cuz the drop was short. But if it’s less than 1 arm span I re pull. My line would fail QC.
Seldom , I take on a variety of jobs. I have videos on networking stuff. I’m also working on a video regarding a 50 unit MDU (multi dwelling unit) that I did last year. I do private fibre expansions more than anything. Check out some of my other videos 👍🏼
Check this one out gives you a good idea of what I do besides drops. I did this whole install. th-cam.com/video/2P5uZ9JADsE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=BoRcnzmOqnz9kvVC
You make soo profesional your work not like the workers of Izzi CD Juárez Chihuahua muy regrests todo you keep working like the first day you enter to work you aré the Best i hope thers was More workers like you thanks for your videos i like the looking of the pictures in my city i only se sand AND dust old the Time AND too many cara AND trucks thanks
Yo tengo una gatita fórmula uno que es muy traviesa le gusta rasgar el sofá y dormir mucho la salve porque un perro la mordió pero sobrevivio aunque otra vez está lastimada de una patita por andar brincando
Would a car driving over the drop ever cause damage to the fibre? I’ve always been paranoid of leaving it temporarily on the road, and tend to just wait for it to be clear, run across and pull it up quick 😅
Definitely something I avoid just for the small risk factor. But normally it’s totally fine. During winter I avoid even more so cuz of sand rocks and studded tires.

Where im at they don't give out spurs or training unless you work very rural where the strands are commonly above 28ft.
Good job as always ! You got some long runs , big lots almost rural. 😊
This one wasn’t too bad 😅

Much asbestos in exterior cladding in Canada?
@@davidranieri924 definitely come across it every so often.
Thanks for taking the time to record the install of the drop. Why do you need to have such a long fiber tail left in the demarc box?
Just protocol.👍🏼

Good job, keep posting more videos
That’s the plan 😅 thank you
What is the name of the attachments on the strand that you connect your drop clamps to? Thanks
Are you referring to the O clamps ? The ones I bolt to the strand ?
Yeah, I've never seen that before. Thank you for letting me know.
@@slammeddubber yeah people call them Oclamps or Q clamps. They’re great tho. I seldom use a normal U clamp unless in out of Os
Is that the Nomad titanium band you have on the watch?
no its a brand called Bezeli
bezeli.com/en-ca/products/titanium-band-for-apple-watch?variant=40539767275580
Other than the wedge clamp and the wrap around style, are there other common methods to grab hold of the fiber span?
Not that I’m aware off. Wedge clamps and preforms are the 2 commonly used anchors I know of
Man that shit sucks when you forget a drop clamp or a piece falls when you're taking it apart. I make sure to bring at minimum 1 extra up with me
Yeah definitely I usually keep some in my Klein lineman bag.
Do they still offer copper service?
Yea kinda but it’s being discontinued in areas with fibre. Will eventually get shut down.
Do you do any installs or is it just drops?
Seldom , I take on a variety of jobs. I have videos on networking stuff. I’m also working on a video regarding a 50 unit MDU (multi dwelling unit) that I did last year.
I do private fibre expansions more than anything.

what brand gloves do you use?
Holmes workware nitrile coated gloves. I love them because they work with my phone 😅 been using these type of gloves for over a decade.

another quality drop man
🙇🏻 thank you 🙏🏼
Im just assuming you wont Tel-us who you contract for?
To be honest I sub to many Providers in the west 🤷🏻♂️
Why are you not supposed to run cables on the roadside?
Protocol. And to not trap strand.
@@FyBurz got u
No you are not allow to stop being a critic!!!
