Skilled employment for the imagination-challenged.

 For some few months we have had a number of Geocon cranes with a foul red Geocon sign in front of our apartment.  Today they started to dismantle one of them  We were out when the process started but this gives an idea of the setting for the images to follow.

You can sort of pick out the workers in this.


The final stage appeared to involve kicking the bit to be separated.

I have seen photos from NYC in the 30s of people eating their lunch in this sort of position.
One of my friends, who was much involved in Rallying as an administrator, said he'd never be a navigator as he had an imagination.  I reckon this dude has a great future in the left seat.
Ibid.  I am very relieved to see the safety strap.  (And very relieved that I didn't see one get used.)
I have heard hammers referred to as the ultimate spanner.
If a little hammer doesn't work, use a bigger hammer.  If you have both hands on the hammer, what are you using to hold on?  
Having started to remove the bolt with the big hammer poke a metal spike in there and belt it with the big hammer.
Another bit bites the dust.
The action continued well after 1700hrs.
