[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4189202, member: 5412"] Back in my work time, a lot of days were spent on man lifts, scaffolding, and sometimes just walking the electrical conduits or cable trays along the ceilings while holding on to the all thread that supported them. No such thing as harnesses and safety ropes. We got our work done just fine. I was part of the EPA crew to monitor stack emissions, so taking the elevator to the top of the 500' stack was not an issue. Now, it's almost ridiculous with the amount of gear one has to put on and go through to get on a ladder over 6' tall. I guess the defining moment was having to ride a 250' Condor man lift attached to a 50' semi to the top of the coal transfer tower at the power plant I retired from to replace a transmitter that had been in place since the mid 70's. That ride got me sweating a little. Now 9 years later, heights concern me. I don't want to die by falling after making it this long. [/QUOTE]
