Theodolites, dumpy levels, laser levels etc?
I used to use a Rugby 200 for putting ceilings up, it stopped working after about 2 months

It was a real temperamental bugger. It would sometimes endlessly try to level itself, other times it would spin like buggery, although this was good for setting trim as it put a solid line right round the room it was going so fast. The only way to sort it was remove the batteries but in the end even that didn't work.
It got fixed under warranty but then I knocked it off the tripod setting some shuttering and broke the glass

i work there. thats my old van in front of the 6th door from the left.
enjoyable bit of friday night overtime unloading about 490 tyres from 2 wagons that came in late.
im a delivery driver, i really do enjoy my job. its not massive wages, but the people i work with (apart from 1 person) and the customers i deliver to make it a great laugh. doesn't really feel like work.

People's driveways and at Lemass
Amen to the working outside bit - the last week or so I've certainly been wondering why the hell I opted for an outside job

Don't mind the cold, just got to dress right and it's worth it to be outside and not staring at the same walls day in day out.
Rains a bit of a pisser though.

Some of you guys have interesting jobs, definitely a lot better than being sat at a desk all day. Hardly worth me posting the generic office shot
