HAHAHAHAHAH, lol.
Theres just one small problem with that that I can see.....

Ive allready got the gear to do that sort of thing... i.e
10Kv rated line gloves
insulated prod
insulated snips, cutters, wrench etc
one Friggin loud voltage sensor(its good to <1.5 volts)

But....
There aint no abandoned buildings/shacks etc in seattle. nothing/nada/zip.

If there were, I woulda been in and out by now.. :)

Now then, before I do contact the CIA, how many of these excursions have
you been on?? :)
LOL

Thanks..
Erik
