Oh man! Ya I never did anything like that! Yikes! That’s awesome that so many generations followed I. Their predecessors footsteps. I regret not following my fathers and becoming a paramedic literally every single day of my life. No joke

I am also a 4th generation carpenter, but pursued a different line of work.
We built houses from the ground up.
Never worked on anything as big as what you are doing.
I am the little guy with his back to the camera.
Dad is standing, you can barely see my grandpa’s head on the left, and my great grandfather is on the right.
That was the 2nd home that dad built for us to live in.

We do similar work @thainer
I always feel fine at heights as long as it’s safe.
Screw those 40’ extension ladders unless they are tied off and I have a rope grab.
Here we are flying around in a crane basket having to get over and work an area we can’t reach with a lift.

And if you pay attention, that’s all rough cut lumber dad sawed on his sawmill.
This is my home, also built with lumber sawn on dad’s mill.
Well, dad is gone, so it’s my mill now.

Great view up there. The highest I’ve worked was 110’. We got the contract to grease a SkyLift and the tallest tower was 110’. I got a view of the lake that few ever see but it felt like that tower swayed 5’ to the side when the wind kicked up.
I bet there’s still pucker marks on that steel beam I was straddling. lol

I almost died falling from a scaffold plank that was unsecured in a ladder jack on an extension ladder.
I fell 16 feet into a library we were remodeling.
I was 21 so it just hurt like hell for a week.
