Default i,v been spoiling the staff again
been getting the house roughcast so i set up this scaffold for the lads....
as you can see it has a ladder going up the side for easy access



and it also has wheels...and an engine



not the strategic use of a trolley jack as a stabiliser

this was my sollution instead of hiring a scissor lift for the day which was
going to cost £100

the lads thanked me for the experience at the end of the shift
