Skyscrapers!

Does that picture remind anybody else of those old-time photographs where the construction works who you were building skyscrapers would just sit on the I-beams, and eat their pail-lunches, carefree?

Yeah I don't think so. I'd be moving that carabeaner every 10 seconds if I had to. Hey - you're paid hourly, not by how fast you climb, right?

Most tower workers AFAIK are paid per climb, so the faster you get it done, the faster you make your money.

It'd be a shame to only climb one tower in a day and make $300

I once had a dream that Sean Connery stayed at my apt., and he had his laptop with Win98 on it, and he knew how to connect to my wireless network. I don't do drugs

From what I've heard, they make 5 to 10 times that.

Depending on the job, it varies. For simply changing a light bulb... the company I worked for charged for trip, hotel (if we had to stay), and by the climb distance.

Usually, I'd average about $400-$500 per climb (a couple hours at most); however, the company I worked for would charge $2-3K just for MY labor. Seems expensive, but it's small peanuts... compared to the fine they'd face, for not keeping the tower within regulations.
