believe it or not paul i was only 4 stone when i went up to senior school,the only sport i did well at, at school was cross country running :O
the one thing i do find is that with a bit of weight behind you digging is easy,when i started in the building game a fork seemed like the enemy,now its just like an extension to my arm and leg

however looking to the future 18 st is way too heavy for 5'10"
the problem is what can you eat at work that isnt fattening and fills you up?
i suppose less is the obvious answer
cheers LLL

[GB_Groundworks]

[lutonlagerlout]

latest pics,we are out of the footings now and over site is in
had loads of grief here with invert levels and many hidden services
found the old 2" water main which had conveniently been left live in the ground in 1963

anyway 500 by 500 by 9M c35 ground beam installed on right hand side on the 3 pads, the USBs are 215 by 215 65kg encased all round with 125mm of concrete
all this is to stop next doors extension slipping into ours



old 2 " water supply located whilst installing a back inlet gully
happy days



finally PJ in action

or brokeback as we call him due to his back being made of china


and finally 1 for giles
north herts at dawn


more to follow
LLL

[lutonlagerlout]

and on it goes 6months into "recent work" thread and i have decided to give photobucket a try,image shack keeps dying on me
oversite prepped and laid


decided it is better to put the 189 KG USB in now rather than when the roof is on,sadly the apparent flemish bond was in fact 2 kins of 4" brickwork with no wall ties
still we prevailed



padstones built and steel installed and bricked up
and signed off by Mr. Lout


needles in right through house steel ready for the big lift



and of course for those that thought "how did he do that?"
the answer ===> a genie lift


a priceless invention for stuff of this nature

cheers LLL

photobucket failed try again here

[lutonlagerlout]

think i know what to do with photobucket next time
ps nota bene all the stains down the walls from using the water bottle with the stihl to cut the slots out
cheers LLL

[GB_Groundworks]

Nice work Tony, I always sign and date stuff so maybe in 50 years someone will be up in a roof I've done and see giles 2011 on a spar or truss hehe

Those genies are great, real handy bits to have what do youpay about £100 a day hire?

You ever use the strong boys, we have a few but made out of 10mm steel

[lutonlagerlout]

I have 2 strong boys laying in my lock up and that is where they will stay
caused more problems than they are worth and IMHO are a waste of time
far too much deflection in them
if i needle the wall with those 90 by 90 box steels it will not move 1 mm
the strong boys ,when i believed the hype, basically were not up to heavy duty building work
also they tended to get right in the way of the steel
might use them putting a lintel in over a door but other than that they fail
