July 30, 200719 yr Maybe if I was wearing a base-jumping pack or parachute or something. I would need a couple of changes of underwear as well.
July 30, 200719 yr I don't know if its still true, but not too long ago, window washers had the highest Worker's Compensation premium rates of all jobs in Ohio. That's because they were downtown. They are hanging 25 stories above a city street and still had to dodge bullets...
July 30, 200719 yr I started washing windows a couple of years ago after I retired just to have something to do and make a little extra money.. Now I have more work than I can do and the money is amazing.. I can triple my bids and still get the job...

I hope this question comes off as a serious one, because it is intended as such, but how many tall buildings are there in your neck of the woods (Pulaski Co.)? Or, do your crew and you travel to Lex / Nash / Lou / Cincy? I don't doubt that the work is there to be had based on the overwhelming number of people (myself lead among them) that couldn't do the job if they had to. I'm sure the jobs are aplenty and the money is great -- and you guys deserve every penny. :thumb:

Nothing over 5 stories but I'm anxious to try..
July 30, 200719 yr Im not terrified of heights,Im terrified of Falling from High places and Hitting the ground Very Hard...
July 31, 200719 yr Nor I....Raising up out of bed, gets me light-headed. But the swinging bridge at Paintsville CC doesn't faze you?
July 31, 200719 yr I'm gonna go with a big no thanks on that job offer. For what they'd have to pay me to do that job I'd retire after only a few years on the job.
July 31, 200719 yr Well I'm not afraid of going up a Steep hill I'm terrified of going down really terrified.
July 31, 200719 yr I have to get out of the vehicle if backing toward a hill, afraid of going over backward. I get out of the car and when turned around I get back in the car, like well if it goes over backward it goes without me.
July 31, 200719 yr But the swinging bridge at Paintsville CC doesn't faze you? That thing is a monster. :scared:
