Yeah, that is me working my way down the tower. My brother-in-law was a fireman and had a tower maintenece company on the side; I worked with him for a summer and we painted approx. 20-towers from 500 to 1100 feet. It isn't too bad, it is actually safer than climbing a 20' ladder because there is no way you are going to fall off as long as you are using you harness correctly. Good money too!!

You know I have a lot of respect for a painting crew that would spend 30 minutes climbing one of those towers with a can of paint and painting it all by hand, literally!

Coming from a residential repaint perspective I can only picture the conversation that goes on when one of those things needs painting...

"I don't know honey should we get the towers painted this year before winter?"

"No, lets just get the ten story tower done this year and save up to have the 30 done next year..."

DW, Obviously you know our products for the Building, but the tower.... We do not currently have a product. I wouldnt want to recommend something that might cause Outdoor Improvements to slip and fall or be even remotely responsible for any safety issues. I would need to see the spec, but offhand, I dont think our products are designed for that application.
