Well actually I wasn't. It looked like there was a lot of slack happening... and too many " gadgets".
:msp_tongue:I don't think your analogy is right to be honest the line was carrying slack but this was intensional, we worked within a safety factor of 1-15 as best we could. So as i touched on earlier, Prunus species have a very hi wood elasticity and is very strong but dynamic. So i factored this in, the wall itself is older than me, you and the creation of the united sates and our occupancy of the falklands. I don't and won't be responsible for damage to this as well costs would be very, very, very high. So now to the shiny stuff I;ll assume your talking about using a rigging plate?? If so try it have 2 slings on you and 2 balancing a stem section if required. I've run tests and i save around 30 minutes just by doing this. 30 minutes! most will say its hardly worth it, but i see it this way if you have a delay on site of 2hrs and get off site at 6pm you'll be off by 5:30pm which in my books is much, much better. Anyway this is by no means me vexing or antagonising anyone just answering what i thought was you joking. :biggrin:
