Painting Towers In The Wilderness

 Painting Towers In Alaska

We had the amazing opportunity to spend 2 months in Kodiak Alaska during the Fall of 2020 painting a Loran tower for the United States Coast Guard.   The work consisted of removing lead-based loose and flaking paint with HEPA vacuums while recoating the entire tower with a product called Rust Grip.  The tower went from aviation orange to silver within 3 weeks after prep work.

What's not to love about spending time in Alaska?  On the off days, the crew went deep sea fishing in the Pacific, flying floatplanes to Katmai National Park, and lots of site seeing.  The Kodiak Island bears are big and abundant and everywhere you turn.  We saw the bears almost every day leaving the house for the job site, what a wild adventure we had in Kodiak Alaska.

Religous Building Painting

The BASE Group applying their rope access painting skills to the Loyola Church in Denver.

Loyola Church - 2007-2009
Loyola is our longest running project so far. We have been on this one for two years with one more summer coming up in 2009. In all there are 18 windows that are roughly 4 stories tall. The windows are going through somewhat of a transformation as well. When the church was constructed in the early 1900's they ran out of money for stained glass and painted the remaining half of the windows to look like stained glass from afar. Over the last couple years Loyola has replaced 3 of the fake stained glass windows with real stained glass, the outer safety glass and of course a great paint job to the exterior wood.

Church Painting of Cross

Aurora Alliance Church - 11/2008
Cross painting pics. Really a job like this is better suited for one person but we decided to make things interesting and put two of us on the structure for a couple days. Dodging oil based paint from the guy above isnt the best way to make a buck but sure makes work fun. A few coats of SW DTM make the cross stand out for miles.
