holy *****,can you imagine the sharp intake of breath coming from the insurance assessor,only to be drowned out by the sound of the bowel movement off the scaffold outfit!

 

[jonnybegood]

What was the scaffold used for? the scaffold is far too long for the front of that building, plus it don’t have a return on it,(or has it and the strong winds twisted the scaffold?) if it was at the front of that building it would have blocked access to the doorway, and it looks as if the sheeting was on the inside.

Lot of sheeting on that one.

thats a temp roof mate,its lifted the lot and dumped it on the dinghy,that right handside is the return,like a fukin aircraft wing:amazed:

just realised it was probably covering another yacht in front of the main building,wonder if they will let the whizzers or gas axe on it

Maybe it is a temporally roof, but would it have twisted like that with all them beams on the roof?

You'd think that their first priority would be to take the begging boards off.

Might have swapped the begging boards for a mates firm

have a look at the telegraph online pics mate,three sider with open end,all monaflexed ladder beams yet it looks like its not been anchored to the deck,winds got it,picked it up and its literally walked over the side of the dock,tethering an art in itself and somebody didnt know to do it maybe:worried:

Looks like it was on the dockside covering another vessel. Seems there must have been a lack of kentledge. They should have got Allan666 on the job humping a load of long!!!!

 

[joebag]

in high windzones isnt tethering prefered over kentledge hswt,did work on the grid here and because of their being a earth matt underneath the compounds we suggested kentledge to temp roof a transformer as staking was out of the question,they refused this and brought in huge concrete blocks that we had to tether to

 

[Havespannerwilltravel]

Exactly right joebag. Using wires and turfers to a strong point is also excellent. We used to use the concrete block method on our freestanding scaffolds in the ME.
