Droppers

Did one this time last year, t-piece at the end of a 21 and arse 500mm above the reservoir we were suspending the hanger over. Murder.

Watched a stabila sink to the briny deep levelling an Aberdeen on the c@nt.

500 mm ??

500 mm ??

Yes, the designer reckoned it had to be at least that to avoid the swell of the water. It wasn't tidal, it was a Scottish water reservoir and the building was the pumping station which was being demolished. We had to build a tower up through the building then shoot beams out in each direction, before dropping off and running the scaffold round the four sides of the pumping station, three working lifts if I remember correctly. It would've been some job to be on in the summer, in a snowy, wind swept December, not so much.

two ft butt with a check fitting you have fixed it and your not relying on anyone else for your own safety its never let me down or you could set up goal posts and staff down so they all form the same level wouldn't rely on nothing but yourself benjo and to be honest there isn't much comfort doing any hangers bud you always wish you had one of them arms that pops out of your chest so you could use the others freely

What's the 2ft but for a ledger.
