Safety! Am I really that old???

[vxwestie]

I will confess to buying some disposable masks and wearing them whilst taking out a huge asbestos heating unit the other day... I must be getting soft...

 

[vxwestie]

Back in my day (god I am old) we were taught to check an inspect a wooden ladder to make sure it's safe, no assumptions were to made until you checked it for yourself... Then you used common sense on how to use it safety. It's a trait I still apply today.

Perhaps we are being soft as to who is suitable for the building industry and common sense is no longer a requirement

Isn't using super glue for cuts better than cardboard & insulation tape?

NO ........ It's better to use common sense and not cut yourself in the first place!! :nono:

I was about 15 when I first learnt to make a 'hop up' from 4x2 and I still make one now whenever doing a new build. Specific to the height of the ceilings there is no better...

We used to make tool totes out of flooring, as well as totes for screw clips etc, 15mm copper pipe for handle, dirty old carpenters Gladstone bag for the tools we didn't need that day, B&Q Screwfix never heard of them in those days, none of yer posh tool bags costing more now than we got in a week.
Joists covered in snow mud up to yer eye balls drilling joists with a hand driven wheel brace, or an Auger, battery drills huh we should be so lucky, men where men in them days, hard as nails, no toilets, some of the more rougher types used to do number twos under the floor, unwanted sarnies chucked down the nearest cavity, got to stop now I'm filling up.

In the Geordieland shipyards they used to do them in any welders' gauntlet that was lying around on the job.

Then cackle with glee when its owner put it on ....

I drink beer, smoke cigarettes, race fast cars, shoot guns and chase dodgy women, dying or harming myself on a building site is the least of my worries!
