o yeh, forgot about the thread... :RpS_blushing:
window job years ago..
had a team on a job, we called em 'billy and johnny' didnt have a scooby...
tore a window out of a dormer... got the big gorilla bar in the jamb and gave it a big handful...
dormer cheeks being built from 3/4 ply, window frame being build from 3" square timber...
whats gonna give?
anyway, they come over to ask us how to rip the rest of the windows out cos theyve got the internal heads down, the reveals the bloody lot...
went round the back, looked up at this dormer and theyve tried to stick all the tiles (cheeks were hung tile, roof was pitched rosemaries) with friggin gun foam...
prolly looked ok(ish) till the stuff started expanding...
time i had a look all the tiles were sticking up at ridiculous angles foam everywhere...
never seen owt so silly in my life... :rolleyes)
seen gas pipes wrapped up in denzo tape (actually works quite well that)
old gaffer dug a gas pipe up out the ground with a 3ton mini digger, realised what it was and quick shoved it back in with the bucket... backfilled it... f'cked off...
next day im working next door and i can smell gas outside the back door...
turns gas off to house... still smell it...
traces it back to the manhole...
he's cracked the pipe, its got into the sewage system...
rings transco, they come and do a internal sleeve job on it...
havent been doing any digging have you?
'what us? nah mate, just doing a bit of plastering'...
got away with it too, didnt get charged a penny! :RpS_laugh:...
