Lab 10,979 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Kinda inspired by Scothunters thread what are the easiest jobs you have seen or done. I remember years ago we done a fence beside the dual carriage way. So in the morning a council worker came out at 8 and coned off a section from the roundabout for about 200 yards. He then jumped in his truck and sat 100 yards up the road in the layby and watched the "TV" in his truck until 4 when we had to finish. Picked up the cones and f****d off!!!!!.........

Malt 379 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Share Posted February 14, 2013 Fire watching on the refineries during shut downs is pretty easy, hardest part is staying awake apparently! Was doing some industrial cleaning on one a few years back, some nights there was absolutely nothing to do when you was on the night shift because there wasn't any work going on to clean up after. The best thing to do was find a welders hide somewhere out of the way and get your head down for a few hours! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
