Not my thing...I'd do something stupid and kill myself within my first 15 minutes on the job. But hey...if you think you're up to it I say go for it.

Heights aren't my problem...but working outdoors through a Canadian winter wouldn't be my first choice. That...and me and electricity haven't always gotten along well.

Let's just put it this way.. A bad storm during the winter hits a part where you'd have to stay in a hotel overnight for a weekend or so somewhere else.. You're paid for the entire time you're there
