Hire somebody with a cherry picker? An arborist might be able to point you
in the right direction.

I also agree with cherry picker idea. If you are comfortable going up in
them, you can even rent one of these and do the work yourself. Of course it
is still always wise to have a safety man on the ground if you go up
yourself. One of our local hams rents one whenever he needs antenna work
done and gets one of the club members to go up in it as he is way to hefty
to do this work.

Current Federal requirements are for a 3 man crew when working above
ground. Two up one down.

This ain't a federal job.

If it were, you'd have to file an Enviromental Imapct Statement before
ever modifying the existing 'structures, you'd have to file a Non-
Discrimination Certificate, you'd need to hire a Saftey Compliance
Office, you'd need to do Wetlands Mitigation, you'd need a review
by The Army Corps of Engineers, you'd be required to do a floodplain
study, you'd have to file I-9 forms for each member of the 3-man crew,
and for some vacuous reasoning du jour, you'd need to be strip-searched
by The Department of Homeland Hysteria, etc., u.s.w.

Thank gawd it ain't a federal job.

Yes, of course, be safe! Think safety.
