Puzzle Description:

#1: Jane Doe (telly) on May 24, 2010 [SPOILER]

I'm not sure what's going on.
I see the guy in the top left but what's the rest?

a construction worker wayyy on top of a skyscraper, Jane

Nice one Tom - I saw a mason making a brick wall.

thx Susan...it's har to see this one

it looks like elvis is the one out on the scaffolding
haha

thats his welding helmet, bugaboo

Given that's a mason, the scale suggests that he laying up cast stone stretchers. Given that it's a "wall" it is unlikely to be stepped/corbelled back at each joint enough that OSHA would approve of him standing on a joint line, so I'm thinking that his scaffolding happens to be at the same elevation as a masonry joint. Supplies low...and a patched penetration/chip in the top right. Since you've already said that that's his welding helmet, there's just the one thing that I can't figure out ...why the heck is a MASON wearing a WELDING helmet?!

David ... he forgot him goggles, soooo he's wearing that helmet. You can rest your mind now :-)
However the union stewart did chastise him a bit.

:-D

:D bak @ ya T

i don't have to deal with the unions very much down here in the south, but i am finishing up a project in new jersey that's taught me a thing or two about them. anyway, since you told me to rest my mind i'm not going to ask why he'd need goggles/helmet (for cutting brick) while standing on scaffolding... resting my mind... not thinking.... aaaahhhhhhhhh.....

he's grinding the mortar around the brick and it flies in his eyes .... he doesn't want his lady to see the tears when he gets to the bar later ....#8926

OK, Tom, I've always been bemused by your agreeing to everyone, no matter how they interpret your picture.

It seems obvious to me (from the picture and then confirmed by comments #2 & 6) that you meant this to be a high-steelworker welding girders on the top of the building. But when David said it was a mason, you then didn't contradict him in #9 and then doubled-down in #12.

pretty amazing the amount of steel it takes to support masonry at that height!

Now that cannabis is legal in so many states, maybe the mason and the steel worker can get high together....

I just recently discovered a really great Jethro Tull song called Steel Monkey. Track 1 on Crest of a Knave. And now this puzzle pops up! Give it a listen!
