I'm one to believe that our job is one that gets us in these "Icky Yucky" places...It may be a crappy part of the job, but it is part of it. And what's with all the complaints about attics? An open attick is a wirers DREAM. Hell, it might be hotter than 2 rats humping in a wool sock in the summer, and colder than a witches tit in the winter, but it makes hiding the wires much faster and efficient. The olny thing I don't like is going up on a roof. If the pitch is too steep, or it a slate roof, or if there is any ice, I just don't go up. If my boss wants the job done reeally bad, then he can go up himself or hire someone to replace me and do it. But more money will never make it safer.
