the school job we are on now is hat/boots/hiviz/gloves/goggles/muffs/noradio/no singing/nowhistling/
welcome to the building game circa 2011
a good bit of banter always livens up sites though
if someone drops their trowel it means their missus is playing away ,that sort of craic

If I stuck to only carrying 25kg I'd be out of business, alright for the big boys
Our breakers for the 1.5 ton weighs about 60kg and the shadowed are like 70-90kg what do you do you have to lift them on and off sometimes when there's no machine or other guys around,
But doing clean and jerk with a kerb is pretty stupid plus I'd be p1ssed at him for ruining my good kerbs. But I bet we've all carried kerbs around like that, when I started cement bags were 100lbs bags moving a few of them soon had you feeling it:0

I was telling one of the lads of the days before crane off loading, and how we used to all pile in to off load on small sites. I was carrying 100lb cement bags and the big old 3'x2' Pavers when I left school, had to or the old fella would of got rid of me.
They don't even allow Hods so I believe, shows how long I've been off sites.We used to run scaff boards half way up the pole ladders and then run up, both hands on the ladder, not the hod and then slide down the ladders with your feet either side. God knows how we didn't kill ourselves

the lowlight of the week for me in my formative years was the cement or brick lorry turning up and everything having to be handballed off
those bags of dust were 110lb lads not a 100 fellas and i could clean and jerk a bag at 17
the craic we had then
who could get the most bricks in a hod? 64 my record herringbone
who could get the most muck in a muck hod?
who could carry the most bags of dust?
my old man did 2 so i went for 3 and fell over
we used to have a trick in the tea hut lifting bricks with 1 hand over another brick
think 7 was the record
