Joe repelling down the building - Biff - 09-05-2008
I was near downtown and drove by to see him repelling down the building. Two words: "no effing way". He was justifiable scared. You couldn't pay me enough money to clean windows on a tall building or be an iron worker.
Like Joe, I've jumped out of airplanes but this was different. Good job Joe. You're a bigger man than me. I'd have wimped out.

I work in downtown Nashville and some of the buildings are 20-30 stories high and I have watched the window washers for years wondering how in the hell they can sit on a "swing" held by 2 ropes and just sway back and forth doing their job.
no effing way is three words . . . hehehe

How about those old school construction workers that would walk around on steel beams 40 stories up with no harness or anything. No thank you.

I used to build Advance Auto Stores and even our erection crews being just 16 feet off the ground walking on the I beams scared the crap out of me. And the workers comp insurance rates on those guys are horrible.

That would be a blast. If I had an extra tousand bucks laying around, I'd have signed up for it in a second.
