    I know an old lad that lost the end of 2 fingers to a sheet that slipped down the wall as we was sorting the bottom sheet, I also dropped a tek gun on his head from 2 lifts up, (old fashioned big heavy gun) put him on his knees, I was pretty young 21 maybe, he was in his late forties then.. f**k he kicked off... I couldn't breathe for laughing. When we first started on the steels we walked the lot, up over the rafters etc, no machines (lots on farm jobs) looking back we were mad to do it, no nets under the roofs which is compulsory now, the first job I ever had nets on was a massive unit

    Oh yeah mate, i think about stuff like that all the time here.. My Mrs took her patents on a guided tour of Castle Drogo, it's a national trust place about 5 miles from us, the most modern proper castle in England...during the tour the guide asked my wife where she lived, when she said the village she new our house abd went on to give quite a lot of info about the place and how interesting historically it is...Mrs got a bit embarrassed, but yeah it's mad to think what has been seen in this house, there is priest hole in one of the walls back to Oliver Cromwell times...
