Hey Bobby. I’ve worked on many tall buildings. On Fox Plaza I tried to stay on the ground. Of course that wasn’t always possible. One day a few of us went to the roof. It was interesting (great view, btw). We approached the rail which was about 4’ tall. I really felt safe so it was cool. Then we walked up a set of steel stairs and found ourselves on the helipad where there was no rail. We got within 6’ of so from the edge to look down. It was incredibly scary. So we laid on our bellies and inched closer. I have no idea why we did such a thing other than we were young and dumb. I’ve been on many buildings since but I didn’t go the the helipad. Once in a lifetime was enough.
Damn, now I’m gonna have to to my old photo books and dig out some Hi-Rise work pix!! I took quite a few of ‘em on many different buildings back in the day, might be fun to look ‘em over again. It has been a years. IIRC I have around 150-200(?), Some in black and white but about 75% in color. (And maybe 50 or so of those that I must have been temp. insane to posistion myself to take). Crazy but fun times. There were very few days after coming down and heading out towards the parking areas/lots that a guy didn’t turn around and glance back up. A hell of a lot of pride a man felt in building, and especially completing, those suckers that’s for sure.
