You will never appreciate how hard jobs like this are or how hard these guys work until you've done it yourself (construction/concrete etc)

Use the sledge to hit it from the side. It'll loosen up eventually.

Stop... Hammer time

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

A warhammer is a slow weapon compared to a sword, but it leaves a definitive impact.

I used to do this work as a teenager, set up giant tents. What’s not shown is what it sounds like to catch a sledgehammer in the shin.

5 years ago | Likes 10 Dislikes 0

Always store your soccer shinguards with the sledge, if you're wearing pants no one will even know you're wearing them! (jock too!)

Wouldn't it be faster (and easier/safer) to have everyone work on their own pole?

Breaking through asphalt is pretty tough to do solo.

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

Whether you do those initial taps solo or have 3 people watching you changes little to how though it is

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

4x the hits and each person exerts 1/4 the energy per stake. There are stakes every few feet so a large tent has A LOT of stakes.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 1

But they also have to pay 4 people, which the company I worked for usually sent us out in pairs, so we didn’t have the manpower for this...

5 years ago | Likes 1 Dislikes 0

So let everyone work on their own stake instead of having 3 people wait till the 4th does the initial taps. Also doing 1/4 the hits on (1/2)

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

(2/2) on four times more stakes results in the same total amount of hits.. Sharing stakes just means higher need for coordination.

5 years ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

I think this is more to keep people from getting too worn out and reduce time between hits... but I didn’t invent it or do the math so dunno

Hit it on the sides, back and forth to make the hole wider and the spike looser in said hole.
