kike on bike

2019-12-27 05:48:42 UTC  

How do you work then

2019-12-27 05:48:43 UTC  

That sounds pretty unsafe.

2019-12-27 05:48:57 UTC  

Lift them up by rope?

2019-12-27 05:48:59 UTC  

@Troye you hoist them up with like rope

2019-12-27 05:49:12 UTC  

Jinx

2019-12-27 05:49:16 UTC  

Carrying them up the ladder means you have one less hand while climbing the ladder.

2019-12-27 05:49:31 UTC  

If you lose balance (because carrying weight)

2019-12-27 05:49:36 UTC  

Thought of it as I asked

2019-12-27 05:49:41 UTC  

Youre 50% more likely to get fucked

2019-12-27 05:49:51 UTC  

years of carrying shingles, they made us use a new modified ladder with a gas motor powered pully system.

2019-12-27 05:50:04 UTC  

50% more fucking sounds good rn honestly

2019-12-27 05:50:05 UTC  

@Torvarren thats excessive.

2019-12-27 05:50:17 UTC  

Just tie a rope to a bundle of shingles and pull them up

2019-12-27 05:50:28 UTC  

Hell just put a pulley at the top and pull it

2019-12-27 05:50:55 UTC  

Yeah, a pulley system would work fine

2019-12-27 05:51:01 UTC  

Theres so many alternative steps between "cant carry shingles" and "gas powered pulley"

2019-12-27 05:51:41 UTC  

Like just put a pole at the top and make a temporary manual pulley

2019-12-27 05:51:50 UTC  

Osha compliant requirement

Thats what I see builders do here to move buckets of cement

2019-12-27 05:52:13 UTC  

**Breaking news**: *Gas motor powered pulley system launches shingles, decapitating 7*

2019-12-27 05:52:23 UTC  

that looks rather expensive

2019-12-27 05:52:36 UTC  

That looks rather dangerous

2019-12-27 05:53:00 UTC  

good thing I work for independent unlicensed contractors so I don't have to worry about safety regs at my job hahaha.. ha

2019-12-27 05:53:18 UTC  

Mmmm no safety

2019-12-27 05:53:42 UTC  

The good thing is if you get fucked in the job you got a lawsuit in your hands

2019-12-27 05:53:45 UTC  

Just make sure you're recording

2019-12-27 05:54:07 UTC  

on the one hand, no one pays attention to safety except you in my type of situation

2019-12-27 05:54:21 UTC  

For uhh, austerity purposes

2019-12-27 05:54:30 UTC  

on the other hand you're safer because you know that and you pay special attention to your own safety lol

2019-12-27 05:54:33 UTC  

These shingle lift ladders cost about $2,000

2019-12-27 05:54:43 UTC  

@Torvarren why not just

2019-12-27 05:54:47 UTC  

Worker goes up ladder

2019-12-27 05:54:51 UTC  

Manual pulley at the top

2019-12-27 05:55:00 UTC  

Bucket to put shingles in at the bottom

2019-12-27 05:55:15 UTC  

You see

2019-12-27 05:55:18 UTC  

Put shingles in bucket

2019-12-27 05:55:22 UTC  

Lift bucket with pullet

2019-12-27 05:55:25 UTC  

That's what a sane person would do

2019-12-27 05:55:26 UTC  

Pulley

2019-12-27 05:55:40 UTC  

Shit carying shingles isn't even the dangerous part of the job. It's falling off the roof that fucks people up. Using foot boards does more than that silly thing.
