Jesus ; you'll see your curry coming up .... dont call my bluff ! You guys that suffer !! ?
-
Beware !!

I'm more than happy to do a photo of me "all mouth and no trousers" if you wish .......
-
Don't tempt me ....... ?
-
Christ! They don't take long putting the scaff up! - but charge a fortune for it anyway!!!
-
Completely sober ! tbh it's a really old photo ; like 12yrs + must do a new one ; more extreme!!
-
LOL! My genuinely original quote did sound too good that no-one had done it before!

Bit the bullet; opened the wallet. Roofer on tap.

Well! I've solved my problem. Have roofer and scaffold going up as we speak. Not the cheapest obviously!. along that bloody lane.... Oh no!; it's Friday and a bank holiday on Monday!. So by the time the council come and inspect/complain (i.e. Tuesday) it'll all be down - what a shame. Paid a premium for the "start it now" approach - but it gets done quickly.
-
Better to be a coward once than dead forever ! I made that up but it sounds good!
-
Yeah you can!.

Once I did a tree walk I have a harness and walk among the tree tops half my brain knows there's no issue if I fall . The other half is flipping out end up fighting yourself - causing some anxiety mess . Logic tells me I'll be ok ; but half my head is in auto panic mode at heights . always been that way though I have absailed and para glided . Enjoyed both those immensely as you can imagine !!
-
To my wank pot neighbours it's a motorway if it blocks planning !!!
-
Close the lane fully. Then have some complex diversion signs like 'use the other entrance' - or something. Nice earner for the council!
-
It's only about 1m wide!
-
I wish it were that simple. I'm bailing on this task!
-
You know. I can close it with a TTRO for £1860 and an 8 week lead time!!!!! Or I can get a scaffold license for £100 and just go for it - making sure all the miserable neighbours can walk under it i.e. their public right of way still exists.
-
Can't do it! Legs go and feel sick. Just can't deal with it! FFS! FFS! Getting a quote for a roofer - only need labour and maybe scaffold costs ; have all the materials. So disappointed! ; wanted to do it ALL!
-
Well; it's more tricky than that. It's a lane with no owner - not an adopted highway. I've done hoarding etc. along it before with no issue i.e. made it safe. Council don't want responsibility and as there is no owner no one to object or communicate with. So it's not (I guess) public highway; but is listed as a 'private lane' .......
-
Ok ! Lol so pricing seems a bit random . it is for a walkway - I would guess for 1 month
-
Hey all, Looking for a reasonable guess price. I need scaffold to straddle a 1m wide pathway (i.e. so people can still walk under it). About 9ft high and 10m long. perhaps with a nice staircase access one end. Anyone able to guess something on that so I know how well I'm doing when getting quotes?!
-
Thanks. Fills me with confidence!
-
I take it from your profile pic you are a roofer? or at least not afraid of heights! Will do as you say!!
-
Yeah I know. I think once I have safe access onto and off the roof I might feel a bit better. But I can just see me putting my foot in the wrong place and ripping the membrane. Also it's me on my own - can't see how I can get tiles up there easy with this method (apart from 1 at a time!). I know a roofer would just grab 5 and walk up it no issues - but he's a roofer. Access steps first I think!
-
Actually I might build some steps that take me to the correct height. I'm currently on trestles 4 boards wide; so the 'platform' could be almost that width too. Could put a handrail down the side and the 'front'. This sounds like a plan. Not 100% sure about walking on the OSB as 'flat' as it is so could make a long strip and add batten on the upper side to act as crude steps. Certainly can't find anything online that's similar to this. It's a good plan yes?
