Yeah but in second pic he has safety goggles on!

BIG difference

 

[Andy™]

dont you mean swimming goggles?!

 

[pewter]

this is why we have health and safety, because of silly ploners like that.

I like most of us will do something a little risky every now and then, but this is realy stupid.

Best one I actually saw was this (didn't have a camera):

Guys sheeting the top of the gable wall in a new build with a double height living room with vaulted ceiling.

Scaffold tower. Not tall enough. Planks right on the top so no handrail.

Still not high enough, so a stepladder on the planks.

THREE people on the one stepladder, one sat astride it at the top, and one each side, manhandling a sheet of fermocell and fixing it to the wall.

What could possibly have gone wrong?

Wish I had taken a pic.....

Corner property, bay window on second floor near the corner. Cobb shaped building and the corner is not at 90 more like two 45s with a bit in the middle

Builder,is trying to get to guttering. On corner

plank on bay top. Three blokes counterbalancing the fourth bloke at the end of plank, over the road!

What could be wrong with that

 

[Sharpend]

A bus could come by and hit the plank!

 

[NozSpark]

Which plank?

 

[kerching]

Second floor....too high for a bus

Will,try to remember to get a pic of property next week so you can appreciate the logistics

Not tried the first one deke but the missus thinks the second one is the normal method for reaching unreachable parts of wall and ceiling!!

Just when I thought I'd seen it all ! This guy is even using a mains powered drill, I hope the PAT tester remembered to inspect the flex before he passed it ! ray

Fantastic input guys, thanks !
