Cone stolen......
« on: November 30, 2015, 11:44:03 am »
Or so I thought.

Wind had managed to blow the heavy duty cones all the way down to the bottom of the hill.

Decided that was a warning about the wind.

I now just double stack the cones.

Problem sorted.

Extreme in winds is a no no.

I half way clamp them.

Or don't extend section one.

No rain yet. But the wind. WOW. Guessing it was bad as was on a hill.

Maybe you need to have a cone to warn of risk of blow away cones due to high wind conditions.

Lance I was going out that way to do another gutter clearing job anyway. Both have been done now as I cleared the guttering whilst giving the quote ... As Delboy would say "He who dares wins Rodders, He who dares wins - lovely jubbly"  ;D

Again sorry for the hijack 23

As for putting out cones I thought better of it as did not want them blown away. The risk assessment went something like this: Fook me it's windy - sod it I will give it a go anyhow as I’m here now anyway.

As they say the job was a breeze literally  ;D
