          You have you gang forman on the ground looking at the drawing and getting to right piece of steel on the sling.

          Send it up on the crane to me

          Me on the cherry picker. slide steel into place from crane. hit into place(yes somtimes it can be a little tricky) bolt into place with gun.

          Once all structual steel is up. Fit the metsec so the cladders can come in.

          All steel comes with the holes cut. Rare you cut them youself unless you need a quickfix to a problem.
          you do preengineered spaghetti iron,anyone van do that.I'm on big industrial jobs.iron doesn't always go it good & Some jobs we use 250 tonne cranes for lifts.no commercial work for this guy.spaghetti iron is easy,big iron isn't always smooth

              then you should know that big iron isnt always easy...you said you drive picker...are you a structural steel ironworker or an operator? you dont use a picker to do make 90 ton lifts...cladding goes on warehouses & small pre-engineered buildings.warehouses are beam & joist.that fits together nice because its a pre-engineered building,secondly you have never worked in -30 below weather in england.if its such an easy job why are you not in canada? i know several englishman who crossed the atlantic to work here.i know none of them say its easy.you dont have cold weather in england.your winter,ill wear a light sweater at most....if you think ironworking is easy come to edmonton.$40\hour,double time weekends...whats stopping such a great ironworker like you? i laugh at you guys...you are all talk then you show up on a real job in bad weather & you go back home.if you are skilled you should be going where the work is...all bark with no bite
