Nah . No access . We have mega crane that front the street lifts straight over the build . Mega crane though translates into mega money

As before I have given up and simply will sort a crane . @Mr Punter you are quite right the next one will be worse as no wall . When will I learn and just get a crane straight away !? . Oh yes , I forgot my wallet tells my brain not too .

Not heavy ; just awkward . Each stringer 130kg

Might just spend the cash get a real crane in ! ? . Got the other stringer to do also …. Dead hard on your own !

???

I know . Can’t lift bottom to put anything under it as worried it will slip ( though could use hoist )

This just isn’t working Bolted timber to tread just bends . Did turn it by hand . Then tried to move into position and it just slipped back - couldn’t hold it . Chipped it ? So stuck like this for now . Problem with heavy physical stuff ; the more you try the more knackered and therefore weaker you get . So I need to stop for a re think

What’s the timber at the base for ? Also - what’s a “ helper “ ? ?

@Onoffso you saying fix a tread near the top and use that to lever it ‘upright ‘ ?

Tied a shoe lace to stop it sliding Not happy about that Perhaps this and a crap Fischer bolt into the top of the wall is better

I think I know what you mean - but diagram required before I attend hospital

Probably. But the only combat I’m having is against myself . Anyway who reads books

Idiot diagram required !

Got it down . But rotating it’s the issue as I thought

These things again ? https://www.safetyliftingear.com/products/1000kg-stainless-steel-dee-shackle/stain-dee-1t?gclid=CjwKCAjw2P-KBhByEiwADBYWChoQQeXqzF5Mr7wh48KrnAAhNXgDgzCdTgUvfCwAvls0qQQLFpWzShoC8JQQAvD_BwE Got some somewhere from the shower tray - just need to find them ….

Got the new winch . Struggling too see how to lift it . Hook to large for holes . Straps to large for holes . They supplied some hooks ( assuming they are for lifting ) but don’t fancy my chances with them . Really need to lift it ‘ on its end ‘ rather than flat as it currently is … Is there some other ‘strap’ type thing that would suit this better ?

Apparently the entire front soffit , facia and guttering needs replacing - with scaffolding of course . Any idea of a ‘fair ‘ price for such a job ?

I would expect nothing less

You are correct of course . We are all meaningless, pointless and futile . Blokes that play with chu chu ‘s just a bit more . Do you want to drive your train into my tunnel ?

@Onoff getting one on !

Toy trains are for children or sad old men with meaningless lives .

This country is certainly no place for old men like you ancient (expletive deleted)ers . Embrace the new ( sometimes dis functional ) technology . The ‘threat ‘ of WW3 . Inflation , shortages , poverty . It is indeed a brave ( shit ) new world .

I imagine it’s very small
