Washing windows of a high-rise building in New York

[@vincestermin5153]

What a special breed of people to do such a job.

[@nathanneufeld269]

Hmm. I see where you're coming from. But the reality is once trained you're competent and aware of your risk factors. So long as height doesn't scare you it all boils down to trusting your equipment.

[@NathalyPolanco-ko9or]

They get paid good money for that, it takes alot of skill and determination. I have so much respect for them!!!

[@natebishop56]

I do it full time and I’m deathly scared of heights but I always double check my gear n just tell myself that my gear won’t fail me it’s only me that can fail me, takes about 10 min for my asshole to loosen up and actually start having fun 😂😂 but really fun and worth it

[@BEACH.LUVER101]

My dad used to do this, still am in awe of the heights and composure they have to reach.

[@ryanrios3435]

Crazy skills bro respect to you. Been cleaning windows for 10 years now. Residential mainly. Was wanting to do rappelling here in Dallas Texas but the pay is just not even near enough to do something like that. Used to repel out of trees hanging landscaping lights as electrician hyper no problem for me easily can do it but like I said money has to be there. For me to do something like this you're talkin about $60- $80 an hour but the pay is around 15 to $18 an hour. That's just not enough money to risk my life like that. I do Residential only and make $37 an hour.

[@Kaizen747]

No way theyre making 18 an hour, No fucking way dude

[@ryanrios3435]

Sad to say but yes I know for a fact here in Texas that is how much you make doing repel work. The company is looking for people to do work like that aren't trying to pay people a lot of money. Like I said in my previous statement you make way more money on the ground cleaning residential houses. Normal size 1200 2,000 ft house you're making 300 to 400 for in and out. You don't have to believe me. But I've been doing this for about 10 years now and that's what it is. I'm working for somebody else right now making $40 an hour. In the process of starting my own business and I'll be making 5 to 10,000 a week on my own.

[@ryanrios3435]

Let me rephrase that. Yes they're probably making more than that in New York City but the price of living in New York City is triple to quadruple the price of living here in texas. So they're making around if they were here in Texas around 18 $20 an hour.

[@ham7357]

That’s because a monkey could rappel and wash windows

[@mosesramirez3000]

Nyc is around 60

[@Wyrmwould]

I'm glad there are people willing and able to do this sort of thing. But I'm sure not one of them. I can hardly watch the video! Nothing but respect to you my friend.

[@jaaj1763]

the way my palms are aching and sweating while watching this. I could never.

[@marcospolanco8349]

So horror movies make me laugh but this was something else. The Most intense thing I've seen Im a while.

[@nathanneufeld269]

Ahhh, not that bad mate. Just gotta trust yourself and your equipment, everything else is risk mitigation.

[@NathalyPolanco-ko9or]

Because you nnow most of it aint real😂 most things are exaggerated by humans to get our attention. Now this is real life, hight is not joke.😂

[@robertkenney6002]

I do this daily! Love my job

[@tubeyouUK1]

Saluate

[@hawksquadron7302]

Same here bro, i fucking LOVE my job

[@VicDVRR]

What do you like about it? :)

[@Anonymous-ch7wj]

Must be cool to see that view of New York city! I've never been to New York. I've been working as a window washer since 1993 in Miami, Florida!

[@chubbycheekpeek3496]

The view is missed, only focus is the whether the glass is clean or not

[@exathletes-ci7ec]

Good to see ropes in use, for a long time stage & scafolding were bringing the accident statistics up. Two ropes, four knots , we are good.

[@alinareybey3263]

My fear of heights could never. 😭😳 props to you! 🙌🏻

[@natebishop56]

What kind of descender are running?? I love the D4 personally.

[@thebr5294]

Imagine you got to go to the restroom, but you can't.

[@jetstreampowerwash]

DOPE VIDEO BRO!! THIS IS HOW WE DO IT!!!

[@waldentaylor6502]

My hat is off to you bro! I have a hard enough time being a aerial lift technician and going 80 feet up lol

[@MechanicSkate]

Used to do this in Seattle Washington. Seen some crazy stuff through those windows... way higher volume though. Way more scrubbing. Me and my team would burn down buildings whilst keeping perfect quality. Never missed wiping off a ledge either. We are maintenence for that building so leaving those drips ain't good. I would have eve scrubbed that ledge and squeegeed it off. Anything worth doing worth doing right. Stay safe

[@Ronnie-v9f]

No fucking way. Mad respect!

[@RenertAlp]

cool. I like this job :) greetings from Russia

[@ИбрагимНеважнов]

Where can I study and get such a job in New York? I used to work on towers climbing

[@HaenaKauai91]

Do people in NYC honk just for fun? Why are they constantly honking 😂

[@1337_bean]

a lot of bad drivers 😂

[@shaykosovac8722]

I like washing windows at ground level

[@NathalyPolanco-ko9or]

😂

[@stephen6621]

I'm surprised we don't have machines that do this

[@molly2frodo222]

The robots should be doing this type of work.

[@UTCM]

You have my respect

[@Gothiczartan]

That would be grateful if they design a robot to clean the windows of the highest buildings like the freedom tower in NYC.

[@BrodyYYC]

You forgot to clean half of the window :P I'm sure there must have been some reason. But what I would suggest is avoiding jamming your scrubber into the top of the window like that. That's how you get drips. Better to hold it more on the top of the window and even stay like 1mm away from the top if you can.

[@jxiioxic]

It’s because he can’t reach that far

[@wigwednesdayyyeiudrgsj]

please i want to do this so badly

[@lso-uv9mp]

where do I sign up?

[@alyssajones4368]

Holy fuck, I keep thinking the harness isn't strong enough; expecting the worst. Lovely view I'll say.

[@RobertoNavarro-y6h]

You cant take short cuts with this job. What if you have to go to the bathroom?

[@ryanmax-grappler8654]

They should be allowed to have parachutes in case something goes wrong they can jump

[@VicDVRR]

Great idea

[@刘莉-r7e]

maybe you need a cleaning drone friend

[@Alfred_King84]

Insane job

[@philipcho8664]

My anxiety level 🫣📈

[@davidnolan9856]

If the money abs benefits are good, I'd do it.

[@eggsshellss]

I want this to be my job

[@РасимАлиев-х1е]

Отличное видео), ты молодец, успехов в работе)))

[@HurricaneTroy]

I dont know what yall get paid but its not enough

[@WeebBountyHunter]

My cousin does that work man lol

[@pickashoe7870]

Then a family comes in and remove the rope covering the table to eat lunch.

[@ErickBurleson]

he's not wiping the whole window.

[@phillybergy2005]

Are you still here buddy?

[@robertsimpsons3315]

There is no amount of money that I would do this for no way

[@jake13696]

You should not be putting both your working line AND your backup line in the same rope protector unless it hard allocated spots for the rope not to get twisted and cut into each other. It’s happened before and someone died. Stay safe my guy, big love from Australia 😛

[@tombiggs7962]

wrong

[@sarojneupane-iq3br]

I won't do this works

[@anhtuantran6583]

Is your company hiring? I am from vietnam. I need this job

[@stevesmith-lu5jk]

yea they are go on dept of labor

[@MDee-n9z]

so fast

[@JosMc]

solo? what if something happened..

[@BrodyYYC]

how do you know nobody is on the building with him? He doesn't need to be holding their hand right next to him.

[@JosMc]

@@BrodyYYC can't see anyone, what about a rescue scenario

[@BrodyYYC]

@@JosMc in a rescue scenario the other person or people working on the building would come preform a rescue. You may have misunderstood my point. Just because you can't see anyone in this video doesn't mean nobody else is there.

[@darksoulsss2618]

That's why a job like this is a hell noo for me 😂 one accident away from being a gory mess on the street below. It happened before.

[@nomanejane5766]

🥺🥺🥺

[@fellpower]

People are in that danger for cleaning windows? wow, that is stupid - sorry

[@chiasanzes9770]

This is stupid and dangerous. In my country windows are turned inward and washed from inside.

[@nathanneufeld269]

Its actually the one of safest forms of "at height" cleaning you can do. There are many fail safes. Rope access is ALL about mitigating risk.

[@414CreamCity]

Ur country must breed a bunch of panzies

[@MegaTcarr]

Why didn't you just move over 6 inches so you can wash 2 windows, not 1 and 3/4? Must be getting paid by the hour 🤷

[@Ronnie-v9f]

You couldn't pay me $100/hour to do this

[@kasper4815]

if i get 5000 an hour, i would reconsider it

[@JoãoPauloAlves-d9w]

Hey brother, im brazilian guy, i have IRATA level 1, how can i go to work, the righ way with that the big apple? 🚀🙌🏽🫧
