Walking On Top Of The Nix Health Building Was Nervewracking

One wrong step is all it takes

When I’m visiting an area that has a lot of tall buildings, I can’t help but look at them for a while, and be amazed at how high they are. Then, I’ll wonder how those buildings were made.

For a long time, it was a mystery to me, until I started seeing YouTube videos of construction workers working on tall buildings.

I couldn’t believe what my eyes were seeing.

It made me wonder, how did these guys have the nerves they did to work (and chill) high up in the air without the fear of falling? It couldn’t have been me. My fear of those heights would have caused me to take a wrong step and then fall to Crushville.

Recently, I saw a video on Twitter X that showed a construction worker putting down a piece of the building he was working on high in the air, and it reminded me of the time that I walked on top of the hospital I used to work at years ago called Nix Health.
