To be honest Den it's drove us nuts. 2 pubs, a hotel, coach company, windmill and lots of domestic jobs all wanting it clear for today!
Had one last week on Monday asking when it was coming down before we had even put it up!
 
It's been a few years since we have been asked to strike before a holiday but this year I was glad to get a lot of them down with this weather and one buttressed tower had moved a good foot which is something I have never seen before. The other good thing about it is we are going to be flat out after the holidays putting everything back up.
 
A buttressed tower moved, fecking hell al what king of weather you been having........or did your lads not base it out right.lol lol
 
Can't blame the lads for this one Den, built it myself. :embarrest:

They were emergency heating jobs for the council. What they forgot to mention was the walls was that thick insulated render, hence the buttress. I also got a good solid tie back and front of the chimney but the wind came from the side and almost blew it off its pads.:eek:
 
I saw on the news that night a yellow jelly job lying on it's erse so I reckon we were lucky.
