Yeah...:confused2:

 

[Thomas]

No thanks..takes rare breed to do such a job.

 

[Jimmy Joe]

My hands are tingling and I'm sitting down!

 

[KB9UDE]

I used to do that kind of work... I try to stay under 500ft anymore. These guys at least had an elevator most of the way up. I have worked on 1500ft towers without an elevator. It was an all day project!!!

 

[Willl]

Yup, not for me. I can barely handle dfkrug's manlift thread. :laughing:

 

[Sumpter]

Do they take a parachute with them and base jump when they are done?

 

[Gizmo2]

I tried to watch the video and can't. ****!

WOW

 

[Big Wave D]

What kind of salary does one earn for doing that, anybody know?

Can't say you'd go home and ever claim to have had a dull day at the office. :laughing:

 

[MF1652]

I got sick just watching it. What does someone get paid for doing that freehand? I can't come up with a salaray amount which would be enough to get me up there.

 

[Dutch445]

made my palms sweat watching it,
can't imagine with a safety harness, let
alone without

:confused2:

 

[Gale Hawkins]

That is one I could have lived the rest of my life without seeing however I am glad some will do it for a fee.

Don't know...

Now can you imagine being at the top of one of those things in California during an earthquake. A 20 story building can move several feet side to side in an earthquake. What would one of those towers do?

 

[G man466]

can't pay me enough to even get in the elevator!

 

[WVBill]

I tried to watch too. Couldn't. Bailed out when he got to the place where the ladder stopped.. :confused2:

 

[Midsouth]

Not enough money in the world to get me up that high!

No thanks - One good sneeze and you could be in for a really bad day. I don't mind heights, but there is something about that is unsettling.
