Default should DIY be a green cause

So what did you do.


I had to have pros in as I don't own scaffolding and
I doubt I could put it up by myself, otherwise the
scaffolding company wouldn;t be employing 3 people
to do it but would just employ one person wouldn't they ?


Just because its more efficient to have 3 people do it when
you are doing it professionally doesn't mean that you can't
do it yourself when you don't care about how long it takes.


Yes I know, but I didn't have the tools to do it


Cost a lot less to buy them than to pay someone else to do it all.


No it doesn't


Corse it does with scaffolding. You need **** all
tools, just a spanner or a ratchet handle and socket.


But you also need the scafolding and the ladders don't you.
These don't normally grow on trees or appear out of thin air.


That was discussing your stupid claims
about the number of men and tools.


What stupid claims,


The one above.

that you sometimes need two people when doing contruction type jobs.....


Not with the scaffolding being discussed and when you do paying
someone to do the work isnt the only alternative anyway.

reams of your silly stuff flushed where it belongs

If you buy the scaffolding and ladders used and flog them
once the job is done, that costs you nothing except your time.


Time is money for most,


Not with DIY it isnt.

Starnge that the majority of building contractors
don;t use the method you suggest I wonder why.


What makes sense for a building contractor
is irrelevant to what makes sense for DIY.

And since this is the best you can manage, here
goes the chain on the rest of your even sillier ****.
