I suppose the old plank is much more easily carry up scaffold than a bulky
board.

Why?

Once you have the bottom of the tower up, you put planks on to make
steps, to stand on as you build the tower up. Then use the planks to
near on, lifting the planks from below. Once you are at the top with
all the planks, you feel a bit of a plank, as you remember you forgot
to put the ladder up to use to get down.
