Super User slonezp Posted August 14, 2014 Super User Posted August 14, 2014 Those guys make more, and are better off safety wise, than the window washers that hang from a rope off the high rises. I was working at Rush and talking to a window washer who just showed up next to me out of thin air. LOL Minimum wage $8 an hour to dangle from a rope. Nope, not me. Quote

Super User Hi Salenity Posted August 15, 2014 Super User Posted August 15, 2014 Cool, looks scary but fun... Quote
scrutch Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 That height is a little dizzying even for a lineman like me. Quote
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted August 18, 2014 Super User Posted August 18, 2014 Where do you sign up for that? That looks fun as hell. How could you not like making money to enjoy a view like that. That would be such an awesome job to have. Quote

That would be such an awesome job to have. Here's the best view of Chicago from a couple weeks ago. The fish chose not to cooperate but, a beautiful day nonetheless. In both pics, that's the John Hancock in the middle. In the first pic the Willis(formerly known as the Sears Tower) to the right. 1 Quote
speed craw Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I think I just peed a little . Longest 10 seconds of nope . 1 Quote
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted August 18, 2014 Super User Posted August 18, 2014 What's with all the fisherman afraid of heights? Come on guys it ain't as high up as jumping from a plane. Besides they make you tie off. So at most your gonna fall 12 feet. It ain't like the old days. That's some of the easiest money you can make right there. Quote

Those are some nice pictures. The city looks awesome from out there. Quote
Super User slonezp Posted August 18, 2014 Super User Posted August 18, 2014 Those are some nice pictures. The city looks awesome from out there. There's a lot you can't see. There are better pics of the skyline. I'm a pipefitter not a photographer. The view at night is nothing short of spectacular. Quote

mrmacwvu1 Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 I would rather be homeless then do that job Quote
speed craw Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 Never saw the need to jump out of a perfectly good air plane. Quote
Super User Raider Nation Fisher Posted August 19, 2014 Super User Posted August 19, 2014 Never saw the need to jump out of a perfectly good air plane. Well, it could be like the radio towers where they lift you up with a helicopter. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted August 19, 2014 Super User Posted August 19, 2014 As a younger man, I would have loved to have had a job like that. Having worked at heights before, I know that you focus on the task at hand and ignore the surroundings. Quote
speed craw Posted August 19, 2014 Posted August 19, 2014 I guess after a while your nerves would settle and enjoy your surroundings. However your butt might give berth to a diamond. 1 Quote
Super User MarkH024 Posted August 22, 2014 Super User Posted August 22, 2014 A buddy of mine is in that line of work. I don't think he's been to that extreme of heights yet but it doesn't bother him a bit. I would lose my lunch every time, no way I could do it.
