painting and greasing wires the two worse jobs in the business

[Lunartrek]

@MrDvwyatt And still a million times better than a job at wallmart or some equivalent soul shriveling job.

Met one of these brave fellows yesterday April 16th, 2011 at the post office in Salem Ohio- God Bless them- a brave bunch of guys!  Fascinating job.

I work in the tower business and painting has to be the worst job out there.  most tower climbers who do antenna work and stuff wont even climb to paint. Its that bad.

more injuries happen from ladders then they do iron workers or swing stage/bosun chair or anyother equip

[milldabeast519]

as long as your smart and follow safety prcedures then this is a very safe job, did i also hear them say it hasnt changed much since back in the day???!?!? whoever made this is a fuckn idiot. tell the ministry that when they show up 2 your site, the rule in canada is that u must be tied of 2 a lifeline on ANYTHINg over a 10 foot fall and within 6 feet from any roof edge

[milldabeast519]

its funny these guys goin on about how u gotta be a "select" person 2 do this. i bet i could cure 95% of people from heights . i work on a swing stage/ bosun chair and i didnt know anybody that started that wasnt afraid of heights.

[sabbathiea]

I do understand coming off the road for about a year where my brothers and sisters out of 469 do this for a living. Love what i do, and my prayers for the ones that lost there life doing it.

My dad is in this video :)

[Vipguy2003]

I wanna do this sign me up !

[jahraytotheworld]

cool

[kcslk]

They can't pay these guys too much. Freshly painted metal is like ice. I guess that's the part that Ijust do not understand.

[ElectrasolAdvanced]

@kcslk It drys quick, but it's a pain to get off your skin at the end of the day.

[jeffy10420]

whats the secret? hold on. lol. i couldnt imagine having all that hair on my face tho, i even shave my forearms when were paintin

[ahanger]
