I got home and looked over to see how the work was progressing and thought, that’s not supposed to be there.

According to the builders, it’s just “leaning against the building”

Hah, you can see the guy in the background on the phone to his boss;

forklift? looks like some kinda cherry picker type contraption to me. i should know, i’m a nurse.

Nah, its got forks! Its a telescopic forklift/loadall. Obviously not best suited to being used as a crane :d

my mistake! was guessing by the size of the wheels, not like those girly forklifts you get down here in the south then

I would say that is a Maniscopic fun bits of kit, the alarms in the cab would of been going mad before it fell over 😆

Trying to slide a very long RSJ into the gable end of the building for the construction of an attic room, by the looks of it.

Back in the late 70s a massive crane, supposedly the biggest in Europe at that time, fell onto the roof of Wolverhampton Poly library for a similar reason – operators took off the legs and tried to move it with the jib elevated, it tilted and the jib swung, the pulley block swung round and crushed a road sweeper against the fence killing him. I heard the thump as it hit the roof.

Is that where the solar panels are going ?

They would not speak to The Courier but the construction manager confirmed: “We’re doing work on that part of the building — it’s being upgraded,

Really? Looks more like you’re knocking it down!

must have been amatuer hour……

Tut tut tut, not a hard hat between them.
