Rigging involves many aspects. First we start by marking out the floor and then calculate what measurements to make the proper connection in the roof structure. After calculating leg lengths we start building the points on the ground. Once the majority of the points are built I head up to the grid. Clip into the safety always, get into position and send rope in. Once tied in your ground rigger signals you to pull, you pull your point until it is up to you. Make your steel in a basket around the beam or structure you are connecting to. Once thats done signal down to your ground rigger for them to check the point. If they need it moved you move it to the respected position and then you carry on doing that until the job is complete. Once finished I do a safety check to ensure there is not any fouled steel in the air. After the safety checkis complete confirm with the head rigger of the housr and the show to make sure there isnt anything else that needs to be done. Then I stand by for everything to fly out safely.
