Post-construction rope access high-rise window cleaning with rigging

[@MichaelNgvyen]

Whoa!! Always wondered what the view would be like hanging from the buildings! Cool insight!

[@fabienmsi1000]

Very, very good job 👍👍

[@Daniel-213]

I do the same and I love my job! Its definitely not for many people! I love the condo jobs here in Daytona beach Florida on beach side,great scenery!

[@BrodyYYC]

Ya it's pretty awesome when you get building with an amazing view! Some of those Astralian buildings on the harber look like they have a pretty crazy view. We have the Rocky Mountains next to us so I get some nice views of them. Plus I've been lucky enough to work at a few resorts in them.

I like your work. I myself do window cleaning in Russia.

That's cool what part of Russia? I usually work with Russian's here.

Nice! Still using a bosun's chair?

All these high rise buildings have such sharp metal edges on their roof line but they know you rope guys will be coming along to clean up their mess 🙃

[@gravsson4472]

Did a vinyl decal job on a 30 story new construction last week, window installers could care less about what the windows look like after install lol. Also just noticed the ASAP lanyard, why not use the Sorber Axess?

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view!" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the momentt?

Hello, I have experience in cleaning high glass and I want to work

[@joshua-robertstevenson6973]

Do you get paid by the hour? or by the building?

[@AadamSaleem0]

Window Cleaners Get Paid By the hour and then they have to subtract some of their earnings so rufflay you get paid 1-200 dollars per hour and then they subtract 40% of for tax so once they do that the pay normally comes to 150 to 160 i know this becaucse i am window cleaner aswell

[@adamrhdaiguagarcia4728]

good job friend, good channel, what camera do you use to record?

[@BrodyYYC]

Thanks :) It's just a GoPro Hero 3. So kind of big but it still works great.

[@lucerocastro5]

I live in California near hungtington and downtown was wondering is their any training courses for rope acces here i los angeles or thier all out far like Canada and far way placses

[@BrodyYYC]

Should be able to find training there too. I would check this out sprat.org/sessions/ Or you could get in touch with a company in the area that does rope access work and find out where they have their training done. www.rayaccesspro.com

[@tonyshikes]

Can I ask what is the name of the seat harness you use to be comfortable all day like this?

[@blackbird1234100]

Im not sure the window industry term.....but the general term would be "suspension harness" as opposed to a "safety harness." The main difference, a safety harness is intended to catch your fall and allow you to ascend back to your work position. Eventually, a safety harness will cut off bloodflow to the limbs. A suspension harness is designed to continuously support your body weight. It has wider and more padded supports to avoid cutting off blood flow. For a general idea, look up "arborist saddle" its what the tree guys use to stay comfortably suspended.

[@jakegirouard8462]

What's your rope protector made of? The edges are soft and heavier guys dent them easier. Where I'm from

[@BrodyYYC]

Ya that's exactly why I'm using this rope protector on this parapet. I've also seen so many destroyed edges over the years. Even the building I'm on right now I don't need to guess where the drops are because you just need to look for the dents haha. This one is just custom made because there doesn't seem to be any good products made to deal with the dents.

I've never seen anyone clean glass as thoroughly as you do. However, it is still questionable whether the entire building line can be wiped down with just a few towels. This is not your story, this is a question for all rope workers.In my opinion, instead of cleaning it by continuously using detergent and dirty water, you are contaminating the entire window frame.

[@Davez2023]

Which brush are you using?

[@BrodyYYC]

I don't even know in this video to be honest. I do like it though, it holds a good amount of water. Boar hair brushes seem to be the best though.

How long did it take to learn?

[@BrodyYYC]

What part of it?

[@thebusinessfinder2543]

Initial part, getting used to height etc. Did you start at Irata L1

[@BrodyYYC]

@@thebusinessfinder2543 I've never taken IRATA or SPRAT. I worked as a window cleaner for years before I started doing rope-access and then I got on with a high-rise company and started learning from them since they all were certified. I don't need either course to just do windows in the city here so there's no point in me going for level 1 right now since I won't learn anything new and it will expire. This is sort of like any trade, just find somebody to mentor you.

Hi sir

[@abutalebali7983]

Hi

[@chrismrsickfoo9984]

Maybe the construction workers should do a better job of working around the windows instead of getting everything on the windows!!!! Lol how do U get a hand prints 15 20 storys up honestly lol. definitely a lot more work doing it that way what your doing!. yes we have to do the same as you with this building without a scraper and honestly if they didn’t have blobs of concrete like baseball size and tube of caulking all over the window, then they get what they get can’t complain when it’s ten times better then when we showed up lol 😂 construction worker should care about where they get there shit all over the place!!!!!!!

[@chrismrsickfoo9984]

Lmfao steel wool scratches tooo

[@BrodyYYC]

Ya the installers don't really care about getting crap all over. 0000 steel wool won't make any visible scratches if you're not taking off a bunch of concrete. Luckily its mostly paint, caulking, silicone and some red and blue plastic type stuff on this building. But ya if you're removing concrete splatter on soft tempered windows it will scratch because the concrete will get trapped between the pad and window. Have to always be careful on construction cleans. It's just annoying when you come across windows from people who obviously didn't care.

[@mikeseymour4539]

On that setup on that corner plate was that knot a monkeys paw??? 1st edit: why are you tying you’re main and secondary together in one knot 🤔 2nd edit: my mind is blown with the why would you put a knot after your main knot at the tie off anchor instead of dog tying from that “secondary knot” for the redirect For people that don’t know about our world it looks cool and awesome but for someone that has an idea the setup in this video is very dangerous I hope you still don’t tie back like this 😬

[@BrodyYYC]

Sorry I've literally never heard of dog tying. But either way I mean look at the angle. I was pretty much tying that redirect as a joke for the video. Do you think I needed at at all let alone with a double carabiner?

[@runclimbplay]

Never heard of dog tying; but I was also wondering about knotting them together, and yes, the additional redirect is unnecessary and actually will weaken your overall rope strength there more knots you put in. The double carabiner is also a little overkill lol. I'd have simply tied each rope to an individual anchor and let them go through your redirect. Easy peasy. Good work though
