Default Scaffolding for a dormer

I can see from my window a neighbour having scoffing put up for a side
and rear dormer - its towering above even the chimney now - looks way
too OTT high!
Have they just forgotten when to stop going up?

Perhaps they are going for the full "lid" type of scaffolding - damn
good idea in this country!

He's told you it's a side and rear dormer has he? He's obviously
about to construct a humoungous tower with gothic spires which will be
circled by bats! uk.legal.moderated now! ---------------

A good idea until you find out the cost - scaffolding for my extension
is costing 3 grand, if they'd had to cover the whole roof it would
have been 10!

He is indeed! After us thinking they were mad they're clearly not. Am
intrigued by the idea of a dormer extension and will be watching with
interest! (not to have one ourselves as we've got a side extension
already)
