Winds are gusting up to 50mph and I take off my ladder clamp to use the pointer.


So what happens next.........(picture to follow)

A gust of wind picked up the 2 detached houses opposite and slammed them down on top of your van, crushing it into oblivion.  




The only thing that survived was your 5 cones and Mat.

If had his cones and mat out the houses would have missed his van.

The mat is in the van. As I am on a private drive and I know the home owner is out there is no need for a mat. (I may have some interesting news on the mat front next week.)

As for the use of ladders in strong wind, I used the pointer to reach the gate lock.

I assessed that the work being done was safe.

It's not a pavement it's just how the drive has been tarmaced. There is grass one side and a pebbled pull in on the other side.  ;D

Your ladder slides off the roof, down your windscreen, over your bonnet, onto the road.

 ;D

I clean windows to fit in with all my hobbies.  ;D

I am in fact putting photo's together as an in house 'best practice' training system.

I may be having a chap help me out with a few jobs and want to document best practice with a series of 'What is good/bad about this situation'

.....just as Iain Duncan Smith goes past, the ladder trips him up and he goes flying face first into your safety mat, and gets a cone lodged into each orifice.

That is otherwise known as the service margin, for obvious reasons, it is owned by the local authority.It isn't the driveway.

I'm disappointed everyone thinks I'm so careless.

I took them off and placed them on the ground

If you don't then they could slide off and cause damage!

Yeah, that'll need a mat and about 2 dozen cones.

Funny you should say that. The postman, when I asked yesterday, said if there was any hazard i.e. dog,trip hazard or building work they were 'trained' to not enter the property.
