Whem he hosted University Challenge, his catchphrase was Your starter for ten.

But the stakes have suddenly become higher for Bamber Gascoigne after he unexpectedly inherited an historic mansion from an elderly aunt.

He was stunned to be left 50-bedroom West Horsley Place in Surrey by the Duchess of Roxburghe, one-time society beauty and a goddaughter of George Vs wife Queen Mary.

Bamber Gascoigne, seen in a library at West Horsely house, has embarked on a mission to save the crumbling estate, which could be worth 10million once the restoration has been completed

The Duchess Lady Mary Evelyn Hungerford Crewe-Milnes was also Mr Gascoignes godmother and had no children of her own. She died last year aged 99.

The grand country house dates from the 11th century, although most of it was built between the 15th and 18th centuries.

It had many visits from royalty, including one by Henry VIII, during which he enjoyed a 35-course lunch.

Spider Provides Material Lifting Solution for LINQ Hotel - March 23, 2015 by Mr HomeBuilder

Seattle Spider, a division of SafeWorks, LLC, recently provided a unique material lifting solution for faade remodeling work on the new LINQ Hotel in Las Vegas.

During the $223-million transformation of the former Imperial Palace into Caesars Entertainments newest 2,256-room hotel and casino, the LINQ, the removal of 3,250 cement guardrail barriers from the structures exterior balconies was required. The massive concrete pieces varied in size from 11 ft to 15 ft and in weight from 1,300 lbs to 2,000 lbs.

In order to minimize disruption to the hotels operations, customer NorthStar Contracting Group Inc. (formerly LVI Environment of Nevada, Inc.) turned to Spider for a material lifting solution that would safely and efficiently remove the cement barriers from the faade to ground level. Spider engineered a custom monorail system that spanned 120 ft and was equipped with two Beta Max Leo VFD wireless material hoists. With a maximum lifting capacity of 2,000 lbs each, this solution was capable of transporting even the largest one-ton cement pieces while maintaining safety regulations.

Since the hotel remained in operation, cranes were not allowed on-site. Alternatively, Spider provided two additional Beta Max hoists on scaffolding and trolley beams on the buildings rooftop to initially lift the equipment into position.

Spider rigged the system and provided on-site user training to ensure the NorthStar crew could safely and efficiently operate the equipment throughout the projects 8-month duration. The system was used continuously, often non-stop through multiple shifts, without failure.

Combining the unique material handling expertise of Beta Max products with Spiders trusted engineering and powered access experience enabled us to develop a unique, one-stop application for this particular challenge, commented John Sotiroff, Vice President Spider Sales and Distribution.

Spider also provided fourteen swingstages and fall protection equipment for roof and repainting work, and stage rigging for the LINQs parking garage.
