[W1SMH] looking for quick assist

Hi all,
I need a real quick assist.
I put up a 40 meter dipole under my G5RV, how ever, they're too close 
killing the G5RV where I need it on 40 meters on transmit, and the 40 meter 
dipole is only good for pretty local usually. I pretty much need to lower 
it, add about 5 more, maybe 10 more feet of rope between the 2 at the 
centers where they're only about 3 or so feet apart now and raise it and it 
should be fine. I could do it myself but if I pull the rope back up too far 
I strain the feed lines and I don't feel like replacing them ever again 
while I live here. Really it's something literally anyone can do I'd just 
like to have someone there, I have a plan B if needed but I'd just rather 
not go that way. With the eastern AREA NTS net every day, it's getting 
pretty bad when I can't be heard like I could before I did that but I"m 
hearing as well, all but the closer stations where I have to change to the 
40 meter dipole, I actually took the local region 1 and 2 stations 
completely away from the G5RV in that most days. They've got to be 
reflecting off each other or something. If someone can help, 1 person is 
enough, it will be a very quick and easy, in and out job I'd think.
