Cable puller for a week?

I had a week at home in Ely on this video. I was working for a friend of mine who has his own electrical company. He wanted me to help with some cable pulling. I had a good laugh working with all of the lads, most of whom are Sparks, and we had a bit of cable Olympics to keep ourselves in good spirits.
It was great being home every night and spending time with the wife and kids. Didn't last long though coz I was back on the road again the week after.

    Many years ago I acted as supervisor to a cable gang of which I'd never met . Around the corner , in they walked . 1 x ex chef , 1 x ex teacher , 1 kid who was on the plus side of 20 stone and their gaffer who looked north of 60 years old . But my God when they pulled cables it was a thing of beauty , perfectly synchronised , perfectly on the call. It was then I realised truly not to judge a book by its cover .

    its interesting to see how other countries do things and the materials that u guys use. Here in the US we use rigid pvc underground.

    I like that flexible duct yall use for underground conduit. Here in the states we have to use rigid pvc.

    Had to pull 6 feeder cables 3 floors up an old dumbwaiter shaft in a 100 year old building few weeks back. Fine workout for all of us.

    That's hard graft. Done the occasional job like that and didn't particularly enjoy it, but it makes it easier with the right gear, which we never had. Found the Kevlar gloves invaluable. We used to coil cable up (and uncoil) one loop at a time and walk it along. No need for gym membership with work like that.

    Good video. Takes me back to pulling in cables with a forklift (no winch), or another time it was in a factory and we used the overhead crane 😁 I laid some cables (baby ones) at an office block for an oil refinery, I lifted the floor tiles to look for the tray work and it was just sand. No containment. It was in the desert 😅 You just laid them loose on the sand! Simple job, except for the scorpions! Any reason you didn't reuse the ducts you pulled the original cables from?
