That is pretty cool work. I would do it if the price was right.

Hey man I did one of those when I was in the union, we sandblasted and painted the inside and out. No lifts like that, we rigged it from that bottom ring up to the top an we would move it when we were done with a section. I forget the name of the rig, it was some funky work. I never minded doing any tank type work, but that golf ball type tank was a PITA and crazy. I have pictures buried somewhere

Crazy crazy work

I saw a guy doing that last year in Collinsville. He was hanging from the cables/ropes they had rigged up in a bosun's's mate. On a lift no problem but that guy hanging had me wondering about the ropes and stuff. Took them two days, saw no chemicals of any kind, and a hot water washer on the ground.....(was right in the middle of town). I know that guy worked from daylight to dusk on it. Was neat to watch.

Thats how my Grandpa used to paint the water towers and such. They were wood back in the 30's. He would do the rope thing and swing around. Smallest man always goes the highest, so when you fall you leave the smallest Wile E Coyote smoke plume. :biggrin:

Also, the higher you went the more you got paid when he worked by the hour. Then he discovered to start his company and charge out the buttox for the same work.

Honestly they still do some of the painting on towers around here like that. I've done some aluminum towers in my time and although I still climb to do some ham radio stuff, I haven't painted one up in years. Wire brush on the way up, paint on the way down (used a painting mitt)...Ahh the good old days.

I made one mistake with a tower a while back. I was painting the exterior of a Christian radio station my friend owns (http://www.wros.net/) and he just had the tower painted. I explained to my Mom who was friends of the guy also how it was performed. They used an electrostatic in combination with having to climb it. When I pointed to the tower my finger touched it and howdy boy. Saturday night in Waco Texas. It was 5,000 crystal clear watts going through me. Incase you do not know. It was RF power which means instead of shocking you it burns you instead. My finger was black, my heart was kick started and off to the races. I will NEVER forget that.

Looks like fun, I think working off the ropes would be kind of cool...once.

I would love to get into this type of work. Do you need bigger hoses and or more machine to do this type of work at these heights? How high is it typically?
very cool!:yes:

[plainpainter]

Man I don't like working on decks when they're elevated - let alone this!
