"Office work" for me today
Laying out 2nd floor gridlines in the new Port Admin building

Are you the one who chipped that giant gouge in the concrete just to keep the leg from slipping?
So how did you bring your control up to the 2nd floor ?

Resection on control points surrounding and well back from the outside the building (note the lack of walls)
Wellington?
Once upon a time, when I was a LOT younger, I had to go out on the steel girders and beams to punch mark the grid lines. Then we could transfer the marks down to the slab below. Of course that was before robots and resectioning.

Lots of earthquakes while you are working?

In my dark-haired days I carried a rod and tippy-toed many a bridge beam for haunch elevations and calcs. I can't clean out the rain gutters nowadays on a step ladder without my knees shaking. Go figger...?!

Yeah and I used to climb water towers to inspect the paint too. Now leas than 6 feet for me (OSHA construction rules for fall restraint (grin)).
Still not bad on a flat beam at 25' AGL, but anything that might make me slip or trip makes me say no.
Last week I found myself perched on the top rail of a 6-foot wood fence as I navigated to a corner monument. The thought of losing my balance and having to jump off (barely-controlled fall) made my knees very nervous.

I'm seeing more survey rigs with ladder racks. The baby boomers can do most anything still but jump fences. 🙂 Jp
That person in the background looks to be dressed for cold weather.
