Have a drive round and find some scaffolders to chuck a few quid.

What with no handrail and a complete disregard for WAH? I'm sure he'll be fine. 

 

Are there special requirements for working alongside harbours, best take your lifejacket!

There are crane owner's children getting private school educations because of your frivolity with money!

Good move.  Make sure all the loads are securely slung.  Ask the operator to check as you lift.  You may need a walkie talkie if you can't see the operator.  Maybe just call his mobile.  Bet you wish you hadn't dragged the other string round one your own!

I pay extra for the crane control guy and the hooker ( might be the wrong terminology ) . So 2 guys . They do it all . I’ll just drill / bolt once in position 

 

Googled it ‘slinger ‘ not hooker - what was I thinking

Easy peazy.

2 blokes, diesel, crane wear and tear, bung the bloke at the council. Seems fair.

Always remember him teaching me to spring over / under formed RSJ bends with a Spanish winch...
