Message: [QUOTE="SUskibum, post: 3344795, member: 149"] My father has been in iron works (crane operator, welder, foreman etc) for 40 years (a Local Syracuse shop). He has never worked on a project that didn’t go through the winter. Ever. You are mistaken. The boys dress for the cold and go out and get it done. EDIT: Also I grew up around all these guys and they would tell me stories about how in the 80’s they would sit on a huge I beam that was being hoisted up by the crane so they could get to their spot on the building. No harness, no nothing. I am terrified of heights, so I would always ask, what in the world would compel you? And they all had the same crazy answer... “because I like the rush” (or some other less appropriate thing to say to a 12 year old haha). These guys just have different DNA. I am happy there are people out there like that. [/QUOTE]
