1319176 2012-12-20 06:02:00 Just watching them put some scaffolding up next door, on new house.
They have a little gate and a lovely ladder to get up and down.

Meantime, prior to this the have put the roof on sans anything, bugger me!

The blokes had put the roof on without any help at all.

I thought the scaffold part was dumb - what if you need it higher?? Having a scaffold a few inches of the ground is fairly lame.

Not if your short like me and remember if your in the red zone no shorts and T shirts either

Wouldn't all that increase the gross weight the contraption was approved to carry? :devil

1319180 2012-12-20 09:00:00 No, the hi-vis jacket is so uplifting you will float like a cloud, even if you look like a dork. ;) R2x1 (4628)
1319181 2012-12-22 09:37:00 Good to see the response. I think maybe I extended the truth a little too much when I said "1 in 50"

I hope now if you jokers get a ladder for Christmas, and go to try it out you will use the 1 in 3 angle (one unit out from the wall for every three units up the wall), or if you go on some quiz program you will know the right answer

1319183 2012-12-22 20:33:00 1 in 3 is 3 units out from the wall to one unit up the wall Dally (6292)
