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, that you sometimes need two people when doing contruction type jobs.....
I wonder why they employed more than one person to build the pyramids,
seems strange doesn't it.


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


And assume space needed for storage. Buying/selling scaffolding for DIY
strikes me a perfectly sensible option

Time is money for most,

Obviously depends on the individual. I often don't think in terms of
money saved with DIY.

do you buy the lorry to transport them too.

Have it delivered, and collected when you're done? Can't think why I
commented on that Q . . . ;-)
