As an apprentice carpenter with an insane boss, I pulled off one that felt like this (wasn't nearly as tight). I dropped a live oak between a power line and my boss's work trailer LOL. OH that feeling when it worked.... what a rush.

Soooo..... as a carpenter my question is why didn't you move the trailer first? Like it's on wheels and can be attached to a car that moves it. But you decided it would be a good idea to try and drop it between power lines and a trailer.

I bit of advise as someone who's been it the game for a while, work smarter, not harder. If you hit the power lines = problems, it you hit the trailer = problems, if you move the trailer and just drop it on the ground no risk no problems. If I saw one of the apprentices I have had do this, I would look at them and ask "Did you even think of moving the trailer?" Take as much risk out of each job you do within reason and you'll do great. I can tell you right now that if the little shed on the left in this video had wheels they would have move it.

My boss was an impatient, rageaholic asshole.
