Recently we discussed jobs here. Some people said they didn't care for their job. How about this job. Please watch the whole thing and report back.

I got vertigo watching it. I used to work about 250 feet high, but never like that. We had walkways and lifelines.

I'll just stay retired, thank you very much.

At least they are wearing their safety helmets !!

I have just one thing to say for those pole climbers:

[bkcunningham1]

Can you imagine being the guys who put it together and construct it after the sections are put in place with a crane?

Toes permenantly curled &
Stomach knotted!

I don't know how much they make, but they deserve every penny. I got a little dizzy once or twice too. That would be really cool if you hooked your computer up to your big screen TV.

Many, many years ago I had a summer job climbing telephone poles. This takes that to a whole new level. I didn't like the telephone poles much, this is a big NO on my list.

I saw this on the ham radio reflector that I subscribe to and it makes you wonder how they do it.

I have been up about 120 to 130 feet working on a well guided tower with no problem but never anything like this. And that was some years and a lot less pounds ago.

I currently have a 70 self standing (no guide wires) tower next to the house that I have been up many times but not recently. I need someone to take down my beam so that it can be rebuilt and put back up.

[K9-Lovers]

Amazing video. Climbing this tower will be on my reverse bucket list -- things I will never do before I die.

Crane?
This was assembled with a crane?
That would be a must-see video!!

This is as legally high as one can get.

Before recommending that to some of my TV-ers, we'll recommend changing the Depends.

One last question:
What's with the fogged-out mug of the low man on the totem pole?
Maybe his mom thought he was
"just going to work"?

Thanks

Why! In this age of technology is there not a better safer way...Even old
technology, replace the light with a pulley system, remember, necessity is the mother of invention, I think this would qualify as necessity....I'm with RichieLion, could not pay me enough!!
