[QUOTE="ABC Technical, post: 23341, member: 450"] Whilst working as a stonemason, was doing conservation work on Carfax tower in Oxford. The scaff tower did not line up perpendicular with the structure leaving a gap of at least two meters, the site foremans brilliant solution was to reverse the works tranny into the scaff tower, thus pushing it towards the structure. We stood back whilst he did this, (way, way back) All went well until the base of the scaff tower connected with the base of the structure, this then buckled the scaff towers base stucture and the whole sodding lot came down in about three seconds. Laugh, I nearly died. Two of the bars went through the roof of the tranny one of which narrowly missed the foreman.(shame) He never worked for the company again after that. [/QUOTE]
