He spent 4 years on a scaffold on his back painting the frescoes. One problem he had was often the plaster would dry out while he was still working on the art. He went blind for a time because of the paints, and he would often remove what he had done because it wasn’t perfect. The scaffolding was 70 feet above the floor of the chapel and at that height he had to be careful. The pope often would come in asking when he would be done.
