[Havespannerwilltravel]

Thats the worst I have seen since the temp roof where the scaffs sheeted from the top down lapping the sheets over so the rain ran straight inside.

see they are cathing on, you may scoff HS but my lazer level paid dividends inside today doing a big birdcage.
Can anyone remember doing roofs with a punch and J Bolts. That was safe !!! crawling along heavy unit beams and pushing up j bolts what a load of crap that was. Then there were those awfull "trombone " things in the mid 80's more crap.Temp roofs realy are a ballache fullstop .

+1.

I can remember the j bolts. We used to use a drill though. Had many a bit of hot metal fall on me when I was underneath on the beams. Another danger was holding on to the purlin and having some clumsy big footed oaf on top stand on the sheet above your hand and crush it. Good fun temp roofs god i miss them.
Is this laser level your talking about the proper one we used on form work jobs? Built a whole shopping centre 3 metres too high once as we miscalculated sea level.

No its a cheapo one from Homebase for £39, but its fine for our needs, we spent most of the day trying to shine it into the labourers eyes, as we had told him it would "burn his retinas out" in less than 10 seconds.

You could have simply advertised that extra high shopping centre for tall people, and fat people, you could have called it the "Jackamo" centre. There's always way around things with a bit of cunning bullsh*t.

agree with the j bolts and roof's being a ballache in the 80's 90's but since haki and ubix. i think they are now a pleasure, they have a safe method of erecting and look the business

Strangely enough all the floor levels were the correct height just the whole building was 3 metres higher than it should have been.

How does this cheapo laser level work? Does it beep when the level is correct or just shine a light? It must be useful on those dark winter evenings?

I was only thinking just now about"how those long winter nights are simply flying by now I have my lazer level"
It shines a red cross so you can plumb up standards with it as well as marking the tubes.

 

[Havespannerwilltravel]

So you take erect one bay and set your lift height and plumb the standard. Then you set the laser to this and it sends a red light all over? Am I getting the picture?
