Buck..... If I was there i'd volunteer and I'd even provide the damn steak. I wanna see what shit comes off the grill and if it even looks like it could be eaten. This is even better than lame ass car callout threads since this COULD actually happen, until the grill broke down excuses start flying.

Last up for the "HOLY SHIT I WANT IT HOW DO I PAY THEN I'LL NEVER REPLY TO YOU EVER AGAIN AND NEVER PAY" crowd...... Guess this stuff hits the trash.

I know a guy that knows a guy that knows a guy that makes $1mil/hr.

I was always told, sit time should equal cook time. Aside from that I agree, don't let them sit too long.

That's EXACTLY what I was talking about in the beginning.... Typical way to spin it to shed the best light on the best case scenario. Like I said IN THE BEGINNING, it's paid by the job, NOT THE HOUR. JFC, get with the program and stop trying to twist up your bullshit.

You are the one that inferred those guys were getting paid $1k/hr, I didn't. I simply doubted that statement and backed it up with fact. You have yet to provide one shred of fact to the contrary. EDIT: and if you want to get into an e-penis contest I'll gladly whip out my W2's for all my highrise work and show where i've been and what I know. I have no problem backing up my statements, I only expect the same courtesy before slinging bullshit.

Now, here's some more to chew on..... http://www.rpa-cui.org/2011/06/crane-operators-top-500000-in-pay-benefits.html That's a far cry from $1k/hr. Furthermore, they can pull in a very good salary overall, but the bulk of it is in overtime and benefits. Still, nowhere near $1k/hr and this is reported to be actual figures from the actual site you are referring to.

I used to get hazard pay when I worked at a factory in Detroit. We would get shot at when we had to go on the roof to work on the air handling units. My pay was no where near $1k/hr nor even remotely close. I'm waiting for documented examples before I believe any of this, but for grins let's do some simple math on the average work year: 52 weeks/yr, 5 days a week = 260 days -2 weeks vacation = 10 days -federal holidays = 10 days That leaves us with an average of 240 working days per year @ 8 hours a day for a total of 1920 hours per year. Once again, we're talking average here so bear with me. Lets take that and multiply it by $1k/hr..... DRUMROLL..... $1,920,000 I'm sorry but not for one second do I believe they are pulling in ~$2/mil a year. Contractors that were sent to rebuild Afghanistan weren't even pulling in that much and they were getting blown up or kidnapped. Though, some rumors claim it is possible to earn that much in Afghanistan, even if so, it was NOT typical and very highly unlikely.

RF Tower work is NOT the same as high rise construction or iron working. I would suspect that if the pay is as you claim, their work is very unsteady/minimal which would be the reason for the supposed rate. Furthermore, high rates are common with other areas of dangerous fabrication but they typically pay by the job, not the hour. Sure the hourly wage may SEEM high when you do the best case math (such as the claimed 1k/hr) but in fact since it's paid by the job, delays make your actual rate far more in line with normal pay rates. Anyway, I have been at elevations exceeding 300ft. I can assure you, the rate was nowhere near the claimed 1k/hr, but it was in fact paid by the job. Some jobs get completed quickly, some not. Overall, it averages out to a typical pay rate and is not all it is cracked up to be.

Heat grill to ~450° then put the steaks on the TOP RACK, 3-5minutes or until the tops just start to brown then flip for another 1-4 minutes. Remove from grill and let sit for at least 5-10 minutes.

I highly doubt that figure. My grandfather and great grandfather were both highrise iron workers and i've never heard of anyone making 1k/hr.

I'm not afraid of heights at all, it's the sudden stop at the end of a fall that concerns me.

lol if you care about that. I got like a billion of those.

Everyone stop picking on grandpap Bucky!! ;-)

trash man comes soon

I saw the deal, I'l never buy another Brinkmann as others have stated. Complete garbage.

Not a friend if they steal from you. Glad they found it though.

I got maybe $50, opened a bank account with it. Side note: I bought a set of VS-100 speakers with some of my college tuition funds and still have them. http://i4.ytimg.com/vi/sT4U1xs_mdM/hqdefault.jpg
