B & P and DH's

[Spunkywads26]

Visited a mate in Cheltenham yesterday and spotted this scaffold. I was not aware that people still erected jobs using Band & Plate and DH's.

Dont like Band and Plate.
When im told to get a bag by my Labourer i can only carry 5 at a time - they are heavy and he tells me off!!

Seen the very same thing mate, they seemed to be making putlog holes in the walls of lovely old building to save tube. I asked them "what happens to the holes when you strike the scaffold mate" "who gives a f*ck mate" came the answer, i expected nothing less really. Its did look like hassle though but very tidy.

Should come to North Wales. Still get used quite a lot this end.

I keep around seven or eight thousand of them myself.

Handy for new builds.

Great fittings never die only great companies.

In a way, a bit like the Mill's 90's .
You either love them or hate them.
Love using either.
