Well there is a little more to it than just pulling the rope.  In any case, the 
prices on this guy's spreadsheet make me think engineering was a bad career 
choice and I should have invested in a bucket truck.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] Cost of lashing onto strand

Seems like a ripoff, all you do is walk down the road pulling a thingy with 
ropes that does the twirling of wire while you walk, seems like the cost to 
walk in a straight line should be cheap. Maybe they’re walking with golden 
boots?

I haven't had a quote from a contractor in front of me for about 10 years, but 
I remember the lashing was $0.25/foot.

I just saw someone's cost analysis spreadsheet showing $1.30/ft for lashing.  
The actual cable is separate.  The strand installation is separate.  That's 
$1.30/ft for just lashing.  Has it really gone up 5x in 10 years or is this guy 
getting screwed?
