Here is a good one

I would roll it from the ground using an extension pole

My thoughts as well.

The lift cost for a 120' straight boom is about $4,800 a week (delivery and fuel included).

I am going to have my guys climb it i think. they will use a light weight spider to access the pole. It adds to the labor but saves money overall.

You didn't "tax" them too bad. Your price comes out to about .96 per SF to etch and 2 coats of hish performance coatings and probably to a specified thickness.

We do work on cell towers. Protect yourself. You need a special training certificate to work at the top of working cellular towers. The training cost us $3600. Also, they don't look like they move too much at the top when you're standing on the ground. Once you get up there, there's a bit of a rocking motion you have to compensate for. Torch cutting a hand hole or cable way and welding the ring in is quite taxing. Give yourself some leeway with labor, because your target moves. I liken the sensation to trying to throw darts, where you're sitting in one ferris wheel, and the dart board is on a ferris wheel next to you.

Or, maybe my inner ear is just screwed up from listening to too much Pink Floyd when I was a kid.

so.. about $14,000.00 sounds great. Just sign the dotted line.
