those were the days , going to work was exciting because you never new if you would return with all your legs and arms. ;D ;D ;D ;D

Remeber my dad had a plank snap when he was skimming a stairwell, we had the normal setup at the time, T piece against the wall with a plank running to the landing. smashed his angle to bits

That's my old man , he died 23 year ago , i'm the one on the top lift on the gable.
This was a n extension to a sue ryder home in hitchin near luton and the architect was a pain in the arse , he was on the job nearly every day checkin the finish, the larger big panels were supposeed to look like the roughcast on the main building after years n years of paint build up , was a strange job, and like you say health and safety was not top of the agenda,

Nice interesting job Paul, I still think the rendering looks better on a lot of jobs without beads. When I first started we were on a job where they didn't use beads inside even though it was new housing, now that wasn't so good. Did you have to get your passport stamped working all that way down south?

looks really good paul but these days does anybody want to pay for a job like that... must have taken hours to set up the timbers..... bet there was a fair amount of foul language coming off the scaffold that day
