Wish you posted more , and more frequent videos...if u have lots of footage but havent a editor , i could edit your footage into a number of enthralling films with background/foreground music. You could be documenting each job and earning a very large secondary income.

Just one question. Why dont you make ladders a part of chimney construction? You always have to build your way up instead of just climbing it when necessary.

That’s a balls’y job when you know that one mistake will be your last. What I think takes the most amount of guts is when their actually setting up the main runs for the others to run up with a harness, knowing my luck I’d find the only loose bed joint!!

I spent a few years working in structural steel, never used any type of harnesses. I'm guessing just 15 years or so later I'd never get away with that.........It was kinda fun for a few years in my 20s and 30s but I'll let others do it today. Nothing against the trade, it's just life is only so long and I didn't want to do the same thing for a lifetime.

@@dawsonsteeplejacksltd9946 No, thanks to you for filming it, it's great to watch.. I always wondered if I could have done something like that when i was younger but not sure if I'd have been brave enough. Highest I've ever been was 33m lighting towers at the port of felixstowe when we refurbed the lighting on them several years ago... The older towers were a straight climb on a vertical ladder with no intermediate landing platforms and no harness (probably mid 90's) but they did have hoops.. I seemed to be ok with those until one tower I did by myself at the end of the job... The wind and rain picked up while i was up there and I struggled to get the courage to lift the hatch on the working platform and get back onto the ladder... eventually I realised that I couldn't stay up there all night and would have to make a break for it :-).. How tall was that if you don't mind me asking?

@@stoufer2000 I’m glad you and others enjoy watching them. I think one of the most important things is to trust your equipment and the person(s) that you are with. I couldn’t imagine how you must have felt, that couldn’t have been a nice feeling. I would think around 50m but the overhang at the top pushed us off about 1.8m! The biggest overhang that I’ve done!
@dawsonsteeplejacksltd99462 жыл бұрын
I remember when we were at the top, we climbed up the back of the ladder and looked away from the chimney…. I haven’t ever done anything that gave the buzz that did that day. You just looked down and could see the ladders unless you looked far enough under 😅
