Have a nice cold one Andy. Frog down, nope, never heard of it, and I would never do anything as a bricklayer to make the scaffs life any harder just like they don't for us. Fell about laughing regarding the bag. They are bloody notorious for it now.
Andy, Hemel Hempstead, I know it well. I live in Harpenden, which is about 11 miles away. I remember the Putlog scaffolds very well indeed and building those spade-ended putlogs into the wall as work proceeded. We used to crack on with the house scaffolding - not a ticket, nor method statement or risk assessment to be seen. Remember the "spigot joints?" Working on a larger scheme where we had proper scaffolding done by professionals, all of the standards were joined together with spigots which caused a plane of longitudinal weakness along the front of the scaffold......eventually the scaffold failed at that point and the scaffold came away from the walling. The spigot joints acted like a "hinged-joint" and the entire scaffold tipped backward away from the wall. No one killed luckily. Those existing concrete repairs look shite. Concrete repairs done correctly by experienced people should last. Those looked like a splodge, smear & run job...... You should do a video on concrete repairs its an interesting topic. P U B ? I know one or two in Hemel... 😁👍👍
Ive done plenty of concrete repairs, dont get involved now. Spigot joints yes they really weren't fit for purpose, unfortunately Hemel is to far from home to start drinking but i did spot some nice looking looking pubs.
Never had any issues with it at all, albeit we never used machines to load up ,everything was loaded up by hand, if we were two or three lifts up we all spent half a day loading out and hoddie kept us going with everything else
It's nice to do something different now and again. I'm doing some plastering/skimming for an agency next week. Money isn't as good as I'd get on the trowel but you need to change things up a bit now and again. Makes you more marketable as well.
Frog down is an utter ball-ache when it comes to chasing out clean slots in pointing or making good afterwards. It wouldn't be so bad if the frogs were full, but I rarely come across any which are. Plenty of 50s/60s buildings could have asbestos in them, so better safe than sorry re. ppe. Fall arrest stuff has its place but not at hop-up height... I know the Hemel and Snorbens area well.
Health and safety has gone mad. The way your mate had to tie himself off just to drill that fixing, off a set of steps. 😂😂😂 ( with his mask on ) not for me anymore.
Great vid. You saying you did scaffolding just reminded me of the firm I started with was also an undertakers too. Weird but seemed perfectly normal at the time
@@bricklayersworldwithandy6277 I did mean the older anchors,the ones with shims then screwed them in,left the shims in but took the anchor out,have a good weekend and I will see you Monday☺️
Can’t beat a puddy scaffold , I’ll still use them on domestic extensions my scaffolders will put it up no problem, fucking inside standard is bastard ! Always in the way !
My old man used to do that on price put scaffolding up and load out on a price he loved it

Can remember doing some scaffolding with pud locks in the 80 s our gaffer used to get us doing it save money
👍
Good upload on scaffold and never heard of the old scaffold ! Are they using the fosroc to repair the damaged concrete
Dont know to be honest its nothing to do with us.
During 80s and to mid 90s did all our own pudlock scaffolding as a 2 and 1 gang to new build and extensions
Best way wasn't it, at least you weren't waiting for people, much more organised in them days👍

@@leedavies1527 imagine that now 🤨
Yeah, try finding someone willing to run up and down a ladder all day 😅

Yep, learn as much as you can always helpful on a rainy day 👍

Yep nothing worse than putting a lintol and trying to pack the bed joint in above it and they are frog down.

Nice video. It seems you both forgot to wear the obligatory T-shirt or hoodie with a hole on the shoulder!
😁
Can’t get away from those things, they’re everywhere 😵💫🤢🧱👍🏽
Aint they just ,and builders cant be bothered to source the Tradesman range as they are far better as you know.
Fantastic Andy 👍

Yea there was a building company near me in the 70s that specialised in headstones.
Fuck me he looks like something out of Star Wars
Wasn’t it lovely putlog scaffolding , not smacking your elbow or those 6 inch high internal poles left on the top lift
Yep it was 👍
You’re making me feel old 😂
😁👍
👍😊
Hard game scaffolding...good luck with lbc bricks....nice couple of kites...at 5.15 ish...cheers Andy
Yea I spotted them.
How’s your eye now after your op??
A lot better thanks, still healing though 👍
👍
Those anchors do a lot😊 of damage,for ever going and making good cracked brickwork
These didnt but maybe they do sometimes, another option would be great.

Can I see your blue ticket
Its in the post 🤨

I used to have a load of aluminum tube years ago with the bolt on pudlock ends, great stuff on domestics.
👍🏻 that’s what my scaffolder mainly uses, don’t see a lot of pudlock tubes anymore as no one uses them
