Very... painted every hotel, harbor crane and chemical tank on the jersey coast line as a yut.
Worked a bosun chair at 14 and rope scaffolding and window jacks at 16.
A few missteps, here and there, but only one big mishap. Two guys dangling from about the 7th floor for 3.5hrsish. I was the ground man. One of the danglers couldn't make it up a 6' step ladder for a long while.
Dad bought a steeple jack company in 71'... it re-manifested itself many times over since.
