I had not considered a mid-span drop. Interesting point.
Might want to compare figure 8 costs to ADSS as well, the share some
of the same strengths and weaknesses. Lashed has the advantage of
being able to overlash and do mid-span aerial drops.

Seems like you have at least twice the labor in lashed because you
pull the whole length twice. I don't really have a basis for
comparison though. Does anybody have reasonable guesses about
labor hours spent for aerial installation on the two different
methods?
