Saw this on one of my local forums.

Pretty cool! I'd want a parachute, that looks like one hell of a base jump!

from my looking around, it looks like about 2.50 per foot or 12-25 an hour depending on experience.... fuck that shit... i mean 2.50 a foot wouldn't be bad if they got paid for the entire tower, but fuck that if its just for the bit outside the elevator

I don't do heights, I need 2 vodka's to get on my roof and I have a ranch. Today my customer asked me to meet him in the tower which over looks the entire gravel pit. Well I climbed these stairs totally freaking, I got to the tower scared sh!tless. Conducted business, scared to go down the make shift stairs, came home still shakey drank 8 beers and I'm still not right. Sorry I'm ghey when it comes to heights, I'm out, that video was very hard for me to even watch. Sorry I'm a height puss but I am what I eat ftw

man, thats nuts, i have looked into doing that job in the past, but you get little pay for just going up to change out the light, if you can work on the electrical components up there then they pay is much more i think around $45/ hour, the light bulb only guy, not so much.
