What I did today…70′ in the air!
Posted by Jill Marie Welsh on August 4, 2009 at 11:26 pmCompany insisted on a repaint.
My brother works for a sign maintenance and repair company and he subcontracted me. That’s him in the yellow shirt.
I did one side of this 1979 metal 10’x20′ sign, tomorrow if I can still move I will do the other side.
Worked 8-5.
There are a few drips but you can’t see them from the parking lot.

Good job Jill….there is nothing that will make you as sore and weary as hanging in one of those all day!

Takes some nerve swaying about in one of those – not for the feint hearted.
Q. Why do women always paint their hands when using a paint brush 😉

Well done Jill. :appl:
I wonder how many people thought you must be Wendy when they saw you up there painting 😀

Awesome…..fantastic bit of work and a bit out of the usual. :appl:

A definitely rather you than me job 😮
Well done Jill,

not too sure you’d get me up there either! well done Jill,
nice nail colour!

Up and ready to get ready.
I feel like a chicken who had one of its wings torn off!
I bid on three days for this job but I think I can only stand one more day.
Maybe if I wear gloves today the sweat on my hands will act as a paint remover?

you wouldn’t beleive the amount of H&S/risk assessments we would have to go thru to do that.

well done Jill. I’ve done a job inside at half that height, in the centre of an atrium, not keen about doing it outside in the wind at twice the height.
On the second day, my get up an go would have got up and gone in the night. 😮
