Sub-Routine Posted August 4, 2009 Posted August 4, 2009 This is my job, there are finally a few videos. I actually never went above 470 feet. These are our big brothers: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8ppKs_I ... re=related These guys would erect the structure and then we would follow installing windows, fire doors, staircases. I have the most respect for them. RandF
Algorithm Posted August 10, 2009 Posted August 10, 2009 YOWZA!! I have a private pilot's license; buzzing around the sky at 10,000 ft doesn't bother me a bit. But put me on an open structure 1000 ft above the ground and I don't think I could handle it. Hats off to you, Rand!

I have the most respect for them. RandF My Dad was an iron worker and he used to bring home blue prints which is what inspired me to be an engineer (that and I'm terrified of heights ). He worked on things like the ornamental steel of the Chrysler building, various bridges and high rises in the NY/NJ/Conn. area. My uncle worked on the Towers (glad he wasn't alive to see that come down), my Grandfather worked on the GW Bridge in NYC. Man you guys are nuts! I still have my Dad's short spud wrench. My mom gave the rest to the union hall. There's a great deal of satisfaction to being able to point to a building and say 'I worked on that!'. I don't get that building the nations information highway. Here's to topping off another building, may you have many more to come!
