“Was called out to this job to fix all the fuck ups. Saw something looked odd about this cleat and noticed the bolts from the other side were fairly loose. Closer inspection I found that the bolts were cut in the middle, drilled and glued in either side. Good way to support a quad beam supporting all upstairs” Thanks Michael!

Top comment: “I like the roman concept where bridge designers had to stand under their bridge while the scaffold was removed. Similar concept should apply to all trades.”

Beams aren’t generally load bearing right? Thanks Lachlan!

Top comment: “Not really that bad, might get a bit of local stress where it’s been cut jagged, but the section modulus hasn’t changed too much in this case.
Depends if the engineer has thrown some moment into the columns with some kind of portal action or something.”

Creative ladder use! Sent in by a few people. Must be doing the rounds.

Top comment: “i actually have no problem with that set up. ladder angle might be a little steep but provided enough cable ties were used to secure the step ladder, im sure it’s safe enough. like to see the face on an HSE guy walking in though”
