Tilers have it easy...

That's quite impressive. Like you say, creative.

The ladder on the steelwork brought back some memories. I used to work with steel erectors during holidays when I was a teenager and Health & Safety wasn't quite what it is today. You were expected to walk along the beams sometimes 40ft up and the erectors did it very comfortably sometimes half drunk from the night before. I did it sometimes but I was terrified and when I look back it was with good reason. If you didn't do it you were looked at as chicken. I also learned how to shin up a column as ladders were rarely used. Some of these guys would walk a 6" beam 40ft up with an gas bottle over their shoulder, change it on the cutting set and then walk back with the empty one. I was scared just watching them. You only need to fall once...no second chances.

health and safety would have a field day with that one.

just think what they would say if you did that on a building site in this country. :yikes:
