You couldn't pay me enough

No way, no day, no how, no chance would I help recreate this picture:

Chicago iron workers recreate iconic ‘Lunch atop a Skyscraper’ photo



More power to them.

 

No way in the world.

 

Yeah. I didn't lose anything up on that girder either.

 

I would have lost my mind if I would have looked down.

 

I don't like getting on the roof to clean the gutters. I can look out the windows from a high rise without problems, but stuff like the youtubes with kids riding skateboards on high ledges gives me that bad feeling in the pit of my stomach. Normal human reaction to high places, I think, although some never had it or learned to deal.

I wouldn't work high steel for a hundred dollars an hour.

 

Those guys gotta have some kind of harnesses attaching them to that girder, right? I see they all have something around their chests and over their shoulders. I don't see anything attached, though. But even with that, I think this picture is as close as you'd get me to that. Only one of those guys even looks close to 40 years old.

 

Stuff like this... 0:59

 

Figured this thread was a reaction to the ad OOP and I put out seeking a moderator for our just-announced prime-time debate.

 

A friend does this kind of construction work and says it's a big thrill to a lot of guys not to be tethered by anything.

I think they all do coke too.

 

I would love to see the video of them getting into position.
Gives me the heebie jeebies.
I can't even watch the "nerves of steele" video.

 

That is kind of a nice perq.
