The window-washers think nothing of what they do, hanging and spinning like spiders off the sides of our buildings. To those of us inside, they are sometimes a nuisance (especially if they appear outside our bedroom windows before 9 a.m.), but there’s also something bold and outlandish in their craft.
Jody says
We were eating lunch one day at the Signature Room on the 95th floor of John Hancock building when we saw the window washers. I still can’t believe it!
Celia says
Unbelievable. The guys have nerves of steel who stay in it. Can you imagine having to work on a breezy day? I heard a story once second-hand about a window-washer who was up on a skyscraper. The wind came and blew him all the way up and over the building to the other side. He was miraculously unhurt, but lowered himself to the ground and immediately walked away from his job.
Jody says
AMAZING! & somehow – still quite believable!
Celia says
I know. The things we take for granted, no?
