If you don’t even like getting on a ladder to paint your ceiling, this job isn’t for you:

Fantastic photo, Roadguy. Everything about it kicks butt, from the skinny crop to the crossed lifts in the background.

And no, I wouldn’t be on one of those lifts doing that job. Yikes.

That is a really good shot. I can’t wait until they allow us to walk across the span. It’ll be interesting to see it up close.
