best tricks

Best trick i ever learned after falling 12m [40 ft] was to make sure i was in one piece at the end of every day and i could go home to my family

Good money is brilliant but its not worth much if your in a wheelchair

a piece of 4" x 2" with 2 notches cut out to suit your ledgers. [ i do 34" between the notches] which leaves 38" between your standards. must be used to set out the scaffold then it will work fine. speeds everything up.

F..k me GM thats 10 foot higher than MY swan dive. I wonder soon if we are going to be issued parachutes in the near future? :laugh::laugh::laugh:
 
always thought a good trick was to be able to balance a 21 on ur chin till i saw my mate tryin,slipped and took out his front teeth,lol - but work waise an old fav of mine was to clip a transom onto the end of a board and then push it out over the beams stoping every meter to erect the proper transom, then lift the brd over the one you just fixed and push along again
