1030 hrs (local) - no wind, napping Princess.  Overcast so its a little cooler than it has been other mornings with the sun, but other than that, it is down right boring on the nestledge right now.  Absolutely nothing going on.

Just to let you know - my brother has his own window washing business and owns a swing set.  He's done various large buildings.  Did you want to give him a try?  (I'll check with him too while I wait for a response.)

Hey Stormy - going to pm you with contact information ....

TPC, isn't there another crane company in town? I seem to recall one on McPhillips

Not just a crane, need a basket crane (specialized) that can reach up 14 stories - even more specialized and there was only one in town at the time and as I recall, it was the first time one that big/tall had been in town ...

What BCCS said - we need to arrange for swing stage to get up there when the chicks are between 21 and 25 days of age.  Last time (2006) we were able to use a crane which worked wonderfully but that company isn't around anymore, so we are back to swing stages.

Hey Moonstar, that's what all the banter about window washers was for. TPC et al will have to rent a, I think she called it a swing stage, from a window cleaning company. You know, one that hangs from the roof for hi-rises.

Loriann, Loriann, there is sooooooooo much that can be said here, but you know the shovel will come after us with a vengence.
I think that TPC should create a zone for adults only. ROTFLMFAO ;D ;D

This might be a dumb question but...if you can't get to the ledge with a cherry picker, how do you get up there to band the chicks?

Just saw a lovely window washing piece of equipment at city place.It actually crossed my mind to offer them " special favours " if they would move their stuff a bock east and a block north.
Thank god, sanity prevailed. :o :o
