Re: [IRCA] Super KAZ

KAZ,

I was wondering the same thing about the soggy ground. How high the apex, depending on how I can get the wire up there. I can try and climb the tree, but the tree behind the house is easier to climb. The branches are in a better spot, than this tree in the center. At 67, I am not too thrilled to take chances. I did re-roof my shed a couple years back at 10 feet off the ground, but my knees paid for it for a week or so. However, I can climb the ladder a bit and with a 10 feet piece of PVC pipe, push the wire over a branch, but of course there is that limit of 20-25 feet. I can throw the wire over the branches, with a weight tied on the end too. How high do I really need to go, if 7-8 feet off the ground, for the bottom wire?
