You're underground what did you expect ?


Recommended Posts

RIGHT!

 

Most companies aren't interested or relatively unhelpful or at best just expensive!

 

Winch has arrived

 

Scaf pole arm yet to arrive

 

Ordered what scaf poles/fittings I *think* I need. Entire lot about £220 - delivery was £60!

Still FAR cheaper than all the other options.

 

Now we all must wait for 

 

1) Everything to arrive

 

2) My attempt to assemble it

 

3) Form an orderly queue for hospital visits.

 

What could possible go wrong!!!!

I have kept out of this as I know nothing about it.

But, as I like voicing an opinion.

If the walls are 2.7m high, how much room is there at the bottom, the width and length.

Could you make a slide?

Every degree from vertical reduces the downward force.

At 30° it will have 87% of the apparent mass, 45° 71% and if you can get to 60°, then half the apparent mass.

I'd carry an American fridge freezer up stairs on my back for a crack at that Kaley Cuoco! ?

 

 

Edit: Not that I'd impress her before, during or after!

Just imagining when @pocster is 6 feet underground.

 

It'll have a bloody glass top and you'll be able to go and stand on it, and look down at the skeleton and the balloon.

 

The epitaph will be

 

"Here lies @pocster

Silence is golden" *

 

with a scrawl across the bottom in a ghostly script

 

"PS Does anyone want to buy ..."

(Sales agent: Doris Stokes)

* - Full stops left out of epitaph to avoid emotionally traumatising any millennials or Generation Zs reading the site.

Still waiting for Scaff delivery

Got d Icked about on winch from eBay seller so had to return it 

 

To see this progress I'd like to step in and offer with help on the materials if you want to have a crack at that vertical conveyor idea.

 

Just shout when your're ready and you can have this half can of blue paint and and an old brush I've got sitting here.
