Tower Block Roof Holes

[XXL]

Iv recently been checking out a few blocks to use but my mate reckons we can’t use them to jack the rig down because it’s for gas boilers/carbon monoxide to escape from the flats below. The jack will be blocking the entire hole as it has a plate on the top to stop it being winched out. Looking online and down the hole it just looks like air vents into the flats. There’s no steam coming out the top and I’m pretty sure the flu chimneys are on the side of the block, but I could be wrong. Has anyone had any issues with blocking the vent ?

Also when going to an all electric tower block there was only the 1 hole for the bin shoot. But problem with using that is you can’t go down far enough until the opening of the top floor bin door. Someone will just reach it with tools and get it out. Also it’s a huge diameter, maybe a good 600-800mm across

Defo think you're over thinking it fella! air/gas will stiil pass/get out even with the tightest jack bro. Yeah stay clear of bin shoots!

Thanks, but why not use bin chutes ? Sometimes that’s all there is.

[sinus trouble]

I guess what Wk-end is eluding to is that if you obstruct the upper floor waste chute which may be only a couple of metres below? A blockage will occur!

Also mentioned, there is no reason why ventilation holes bored into your Jack protection plate would be a bad idea?

Good for your rig and the residents!

Bin "cute's" Sorry lads spelling was defo not my thing a school lol Can be got at from the side wall! Have you ever been up a block and seen the patching in where a rigs been smashed out the wall? I can think of two site's off the top of my head where this has happened, Cotton garden estate Elephant and castle & one in hammersmith but cant remember the name...

That’s mental, iv never heard of them going that far for a rig before. Iv had jack top plates smashed, and safes ripped open but never though they would actually smash the wall, jeez.

And sinus that could be a good idea but I don’t wanna give them anything to put a hook onto.

[Wk-end]

Oh yeah they go in!

Would luv to know what radio you're from pm me if you like bro.

Haha! Wow!! Wk-Ends Comments shocked me too!

I guess with regards to ventilation? Maybe a mesh type sheet could be used to prevent any unwanted entry whilst allowing adequate air flow?

Take a look at the YouTube link I posted in the general scummery section. All the rig theivery methods are in that vid, along with an infamous rig theif who was often mentioned on here.

Im confused as to how this is relevent to the topic Jim? Or are you just trying to imply we have no listeners? Very odd..

Years ogo, I bricked a rig into the parapet wall of a block in Shepherd's Bush. It was there for months and used every weekend. Eventually Gotts & Co decided that it was time to remove it, and they took a sledgehammer to the wall to break it out. Unfortunately, some idiot swung the hammer a bit too hard, and sent several bricks about 19 floors down onto some cars parked below..... Fortunately, the cars they hit were theirs!

Well, if you are posting the link here, you'd better be on the pro-plan from shoutca.st. If not and someone wanted to shut you down (or at least make you upgrade the plan) they'd get a few mates to open multiple browser tabs keeping an eye on the number of listeners info. Can tell what plan you are on by listener number (exceeding 200 or 500). If it is not the pro plan, you can expect the stream to last for only 1 hour (1M byte per listener per minute approx for 128kb/s). if someone did that. I don't think anyone on here is that malicious, but you never know who is looking, especially if it's coming out on the broadcast band from somewhere.
