Would it be normal for the rafters to be tied into the brickwork to
resist
the gable potentially being €śblown out€ť?

That guy was lucky not to have been hit by a brick that could well have
'bounced' towards him.


He is so cool about it. How did he manage that? He just waited a second
until bits stopped dropping, then carried on as if nothing had happened.


Probably wondering where the nearest place to change his underwear would
be. ;-)


He genuinely didn't look bothered ...
