Yes an English gentelman sitting on his expensive scaffold having a brew(Tea) lol, it is so much easyier having a safe working platform to work from and quicker i think, i have just brought a quick lock scaffold and used it for the first time this week, although the roof is a shallow pitch i do think it looks more profesional.

I bid one for scaffolding last week. They laughed and said to get lost. No clue how they'll do it.
5 blocks form OSHA, on a major intersection, sidewalks directly below on exposed side, New roof on other 3 sides, with one of those sides a patio for tenants.

Need to remove the concrete roof and get new tile up there. 50' to gutter. Can't use alley either.

I figured it for scaffold all around, trash chute, etc. BTW, a main entrance is directly below the exposed area and will need a tunnel for fire regulations if not standard entrance duties.

New wood on concrete in the B I G, etc. $10K for scaffold, $22K for roof and B I G.

You would not want to be caught working with out scaffold but the Health and safety dept, they would close you down!

Beautifull work.
