The dumbest thing I've done on a job site was this. In a hospital, a hallway. The main air duct is above the ceiling grid (which was installed) with 2 5" black iron pipes and multiple other pipes, and sprinkler lines. I had to insulate the 5" black iron pipes, and there was so much **** in the way I decided to toss up all the **** I needed, and climb/squeeze between the 2 5" pipes like a monkey, and stand on the pipes and insulate from above, as insulating these from beneath looked ridiculous and aggravating. Sometimes I wonder who draws the plans for the pipe fitters, they can be ridiculous some times. Well after the insulation was on there was no way to climb down, because the pipes were only maybe 10" apart, and the material was 2" thick, so there was only 6"~ between the 2 pipes afterwards. While I was up there cussing a safety guy from the main contractors walked by and saw a lift up in the air with the safety chain unhooked, me above standing on pipes with no safety harness, no safety glasses, no hard hat, smoking a cigarette. The main contractors were Turner construction, I'm pretty sure their national, maybe international, but they are safety freaks and fine for everything. After I cut off some insulation and climbed down the guy was laughing and nodding his head. I was fined around $400 and kicked off the job, I think I got off easy because I've heard they have steep fines for safety harness violations. It was a Friday getting around quitting time and I wasn't thinking After following the 51,892,741,224 safety rules Turner has for so long they get annoying and are broken.

Any idea where that is? Looks like England. I wouldn't be surprised if those screw off the base or something.

Hahaha I'm slow. I looked at the picture for a good minute before the humor kicked in.

actually, it looks there there is JUST enough room between the bottom 2 bollards to back out. but they have to wait for it to dry.

I HIGHLY doubt it. At least they finished it. Wrong maybe, but they finished.
