It's a transportation job, with net energy output.

I wonder how many quarrys have that kind of setup where the raw
material
needs to be transported *down* from the quarry?

Shame the welsh slate quarries are no longer in bulk production,
or you could update the old solution of a horse drawing the
empties uphill, and gravity taking everything down laden.

Even more fun, use those handy zip-wires that are installed
to send the stuff down.

Am I the only one now thinking about the Fred Dibnah's arrangement
with self counterbalancing milk churns on a cable for getting stuff
down from high chimneys?


I must have missed that, but I remember Hoffnungs brickie lament

And how he got that scaffolding up there single handed!, amazing
bloke!...

I wonder if there is a video of how he gets the staging in place? I have
seen him show how to ladder the chimney in the first place, but not lug
all the scaffolding up there and get that in place.

I am sure that I have seen one that shows putting the staging up. It is
a full length (45 minutes? Hour?) one IIRC.
