Tennentslager Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 Had to stop watching this from the window this morning. Brave, confident or stupid. he was over reaching too as he removed the slate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProDave Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 If they tied the ladder, and were hooked onto something with a fall arrest device it might not be SO bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Several Philippino's one end as ballast the other at the other end changing light fittings with a very large drop below. It was the atrium of a cruise ship. I won't name the operator or ship but save to say it's not that uncommon to see such ingenuity! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tennentslager Posted November 26, 2016 Author Share Posted November 26, 2016 Just back in and they are still up there but now it's dark and they are using what looks like a phone as a torch! Must be on a bonus if they finish before X Factor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crofter Posted November 26, 2016 Share Posted November 26, 2016 I've built my whole house without scaffolding. Have had some interesting moments perched atop a ladder at full reach. I find you reach a certain point and the sense of self preservation kicks in and you know when it's getting silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
