My first high rise roof project... "Scared of heights", not too sure I was too scared to think about it.

I satisfied my curiosity in Vegs. Jumped off the Stratosphere. 800+ ft. I've been on many skyscrapers looking over and wondering what would it be like to make the leap? B) :) :) B) Deep Down In Florida Where The Sun Shines Damn Near Every Day

I've never worked above 200'. That seemed pretty high. :)

Nothing weird about that at all Mike. In fact, it's a very normal god given instinct that you are putting yourself in a situation you were not created to be in. I'm good up to two stories but when it gets higher than that I can feel the instinct kicking in. Pretty much exactly the way you described it. ;)

That's purdy high, yessiree.

Ya know I can hang over an unstable rock cliff, or at the edge of an eroded silty bank in known earthquake territory and not lose a blink, but when I look over the edge of a building like that, I have the sensation that I have warm tinglies all through my lower torso, and a magnetic pull trying to drag me over the edge.

Weird. (But most of ya probably knew I was weird already)
