Just so bloody high guys and doing a job as well, not just hanging about but removing cladding as well. Well I'm speechless, I would not do that for any money. Whatever they are paying you is not enough, just soooooo high guys. I'm scared witless and I'm just watching you. Geez man I wish you would stop switching those lines around to me a complete lacking in knowledge person it looks like nothing is holding you up. And you do this every day????? Honestly it's going to take you forever to complete this job, bit by bit.

    Choke hitch on a sling reduces swl by 20% not 50%, double it over increases swl by double eg 1t =2t. I worked with rope access on oil rigs (dope on a rope) as we call them 😂 anyway fantastic work. Also a good tip is to wear thin gloves when fitting because them lvl 5 impact gloves is like wearing oven gloves when fitting screws ect.
