Anyone got any advice about scaffolding - apart from not falling off it? I've got guttering to replace on a tall victorian house (gutters at 24ft) and a gable end to paint on another. Getting someone to hire it is absurd, and weekend hire of those cherry picker things is astronomical - I want to rent it not buy the fcunking thing...and it means I've got to complete the whole job in a weekend which is fine if I had a whole weekend and it's not scheduled to rain.
So I reckon I can buy a tower, do both jobs and then sell the tower after. What I maybe able to do is get one high enough to do the gutters, then move it to do the gable end and just do a one day hire to finish the painting off on the second house.
How high is safe to work on, any tips to think about and what to buy? Do I get a Boss one or just find a job lot of scaffolding poles and get it bolted together?
cheers
