When I was a kid still at home I helped pop unroll miles of wire by hand. He's stick a bar through the roll and with one of us on each side we'd walk the wire off. Wire it being in the upper 90's here, my pushing 65, and having a bad case of COPD, I figured that only a better way was going to get a new wire up on my fence along the front of our place. This turned out to be simple and easy. I had a 4 x 8 trailer I'd built a few years back. By bolting a piece of 1/2 inch water pipe to the front carrier rack on it and taking out the tail gate my problem was solved. My young helper and I had a wire "unroller," a method of hauling our tools, and the fun of making something useful out of stuff laying around the place. It would be interesting to see what other people have come up with to do this job. gm
