I was up at the Industrial Center yesterday morning when I saw this wild site! This guy is doing some finishing touches on one of those humongous blades hanging from a rope! There wind gust were up to at least 35mph.
He certainly earned his pay!
Let me just state for the record that I probably definitely would have soiled myself 30 feet off the ground. What’s this guy making? Like $250 an hour?

“Takes Nuts” is an understatement! What on earth can he possible be doing?
O my goodness. Wow. I could never do that.
Was he cleaning bug brains off the blade? The tip of the blade exceeds 160 mph.
You know that cliche saying “Now I’ve seen everything…” ? Well, there ya go.
Hope he was not taking the GMG sticka off.. just looking at this photo gives me sweaty hands..
maybe he didn’t get a chance to sign the blade before it went up…
one word – holy shit
Seriously…what was he doing ?
Just a routine high angle blade inspection,
Neat video. We gonna refer to it from the paper
Nice Dre
What ever he is getting paid , GIVE him more.
Thanks for sharing!
Ho-ly crap! That is a job I could never, EVER do. What possesses one to get into this line of work? Amazing! This is right up there with the guys who work on high-tension power lines.
Just looking at the photos made me hyperventilate. There is no amount of money anyone could pay me to do that. I don’t think I could even have taken the pictures.
