    Default Can you imagine...

    Okay im a dork... its 630am and im watching frontiers of construction on the history channel

    Anyway they're talking about the building of the CN Tower.... and they were showing guys hanging on ropes working on the outside of it.

    Seriously im scared shitless of heights, but even if I wasnt there is no way in hell you could pay me enough to hang on a rope outside of that damn thing to build it!!!

    Ignore my random moment... I think it was just watching it and seeing the people hanging there that made my stomach do flip flops

    Well just for you guys: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/b/barenak..._20013331.html

    Did you know that there is enough concrete in the CN tower to construct a sidewalk to Texas? From Toronto, I mean. If anyone was inclined to build such a thing.
    I have taught that the sky in all its zones is mortal and its substance was formed by a process of birth

    There's a myth that Iriquois (Native Americans) have an innate lack of fear of heights. Well, every part-Iriquois person I meet knows about this, so maybe it's true...

    The maintenance crews on the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge work up on top all year, fixing rust spots....they claimed to be more upset by Golden Gate bridge jumpers (suicide attempts) than the height of the bridge.

    I'm building a deck off the back of a home that is 25 feet off the ground. I have to walk on joists that are 2 1/2 inches wide and 2 feet apart! Yes, I'm tethered, but one still needs to be very careful.

    BTW, heights don't bother me at all.

    It is actually simply a matter of not over thinking the issue. I'm not real sure how else to explain how to comfortably walk in precarious places. Walk on the beams as if they were only 2 inches off the ground and not 200 feet.

    The Mohawk's also are renowned for walking iron.

    My husband hates the temporary frieght elevators that they put up on the outside of buildings that are under construction. It's not so much the height, but the damn unstable shaky ride.
