You all mistake me for a regular DIYer…… I have watched about 6 YouTube videos now and if I was in the scaffolding business, I’d be training the trainers…. Pretty much God level. Pilsbury erections here I come.
I also have the experience of successfully “striking” (scaffolder talk) a 3 lift 12’x6’ gig today without getting beaten up, robbed, arrested, killed or destroying any property! I have a new found respect for scaffolders. Me and a mate took 3.5hours to dismantle. Weighs a bloody ton - in fact I’m guessing a couple of tons. My roof rack and trailer looked like a clown show.
Anyhow I am now sitting here with a beer and another adventure under my belt. Erecting on my own is gonna be a giggle. Don’t you all stress, I’ve got my ledgers and transoms all sorted in my head along with braces and outriggers and wall bolts.
Apart from the graft and trying to get it back here, it was a cracking deal.
I’ll post pictures of my erection for you all to critique in the next week or so. Don't think I can get one up tonight
