It's All About The Access

As I walked past on the sidewalk, I started watching a welder on the fourth floor of one of the buildings under construction near L and 19th Streets. He needed to get access to a point near the bottom of the outside of a balcony.

So, the worker carefully stepped over the railing of the balcony, stepped onto a narrow ledge, pivoted around, knelt, and started welding. I could not establish whether he had safety ropes or anything that would prevent him from taking a header if he slipped.

Braver than me!
