So, I was thinking that maybe we could hire one of these van-mounted
cherry picker thingies that you see guys using for street lighting
maintenance. We should be able to park it in the place where I normally
park my car and no time spent erecting/stripping down means that we
could get the job done in the one day - much easier all round.

What are the hire prices like there? They're ridiculously expensive this
side of the Atlantic - it's more cost-effective to outright buy a used
one and sell it again when you're done, assuming you have the funds and
storage space.

(I suspect it might be more cost-effective to simply pay someone to do
the work for you too, unfortunately)
