The Painters have arrived .. one is the contractors soon to be wife? She is a very good painter who is their main "cut in painter for trim " I seen her work on another house and also watched her move a 20 foot ladder along a tall wall with out taking it down by doing a great balancing act doing baby steps.. She puts on her saftey belt and walks around the roof with the same kind of non fear I used to do on many high work jobs ..

Its good to be caution and careful ,, but you don't want to be afraid of height either.. she and one other painter are both great at working off the ground.

Killerbee,,I see you way up there on that ladder of the fire truck ,,,,,,,,,,,,, I used to ride the headache ball up and down to the roof of paper machine buildings when we were building them ,, I do not remember when they stopped us from doing that. Some operators would take you up and bring you down pretty darn fast.. it was a thrill back then when I was just a 21 years old.
