Rappelling for a job
Permalink  
 

DOn't know what i was thinking, but I took a window repair job for the State of Florida. Only way to access the 11 story building is over the side... cranes won't work, lifts won't work, so I have decided to teach myself how to rappel.  Had a 50 foot lift from a job sitting in the yard this AM, so I figured I would teach myself "the ropes".

 

I am still alive.

I'm getting a nose bleed just thinking about that height and not to mention more grey hair and loss of it just worrying about you up there.

OSHA requires me to have a safety rope with a rope grab device, as well as my main rope, so it's actually pretty "safe". It was a real adrenaline rush going down 50 feet today!

You ever seen where a guy takes a picture where he's jumping off a cliff edge when in reality he's only like two feet off the ground.........that's why there's no video.....:}
