(25,816 posts)I'm impressed. I'm also reminded of the men who built the skyscrapers in NYC. Only they did it without the safety equipment we see here. Still, I couldn't do this.

(1,907 posts)The light fixture has bulb sockets that rotate. When one bulb burns out it automatically rotates to the next one.
I have done some work on those. Not at that height though. Just installing cables and equipment on them. Even scarier is when they first build a tower. It's been a long time back and hopefully they have better safety rules/practices now. But a lot of the tower workers would be missing fingers. Think about being at height and having a finger or more pinched off.

I'm truly impressed by this young man and his ilk.
