for a truly humbling experience walk in the sky!

here's some pictures from work i took. as the buildings go up we get to go up on top with the iron workers because we have to install these things called sleeves in the decking before they pour the concrete. the sleeves leave penetrations behind that our pipes go through so we don't have to core holes later or chop the concrete.

here's some pics of me up on the top steel walking the sky!

you can see just the steel beams in the backround, in the foreground are the steel beams with the decking laid on it. we cut it with torches then install the sleeves.

the planes fly in real low, we're right in the flight path of la guardia airport, and only about a 1/2 mile away. the planes are deafening, and it seems like you can almost touch um!

Loaded is the only way you would catch me doing that *LOL*

90% of the sky line is said to have been built by Native Americans.
They sky walk with no fear.
I will take the job my son has but never take the finishing job. My son cuts the beams on the ground that get shipped to the sites.
