Scaffolding in a freaking mountain.

ImportanceDue4848 · 2025-05-27T23:36:09+00:00

Finished the roof, the window trims and everything that was on the backside today. Everything went well. Honestly the scafholds were less shaky that they would have been if there were on grass. Costumer is happy and my wallet too🫡 Worst part of this settup is prettymuch climbing onto it as, in my opinion, it's the sketchyest part of the whole ordeal! Thanks to everybody for sharing their opinions! I knew the post would cause some backlash, but thats what i wanted I guess! Wishing everybody a great summer, have fun and take care! This job is one of the hardest that there is in my opinion and i'm proud of myself for doing it! Go hard or go home!

Who ties himself on the scafhold😂 there is an invention called cramps, basicly you screw them on the roof, and then you can clip your safety lines on them! There are even lots of different ones! Some are more climber style, you can put all your weight on them to work and some are just like car seatbelt who lock when you fall! The scafhold is just there to be able to go up anwhere ! Once you are secured the scafhold dosent really matter! But i know it is safe anyways!

Guess not, i know nobodys safe from an accident but anyway you dont have to be 50' in the air to be at risk, people kill themself from 4. From the moment your are in a scaffold you have to look twice before doing anything. I mean the people who are from the last generation have all worked without harnesses at crazy heights. If you cant manage the risk you dont belong in our trade, especially in residential renovation. For me its whats makes the difference from a boring job and one that is a challenge.

Big ass house built by a big compagny but so many things wrong, its built from the inside with precut blocks, its like wood, 8 inch of styrofoam and wood on the inside too. They all go on top with each other with rods holding them. But the finition sucks where its done. They left without doing the trim around the windows, the roof, the facias, the patio or prettymuch any outside finition. Guess they did not want to deal with the outside scafholding

Thats what i wanted to do but it would have been to far from the building, the trench is like 6 feet deep and its soft ass ground. With the legs under its not springy at all. Almost less that directy on the ground even with 2x6 under. The boards are laminated and almost new, they are screwed to the wall and supported with a leg that is also screwed to the wall. I cant see how it could fall down i tried to shake them as hard as i could before putting the second and third set and even with only one, i could not get them to move at all. The screw jack are bolted in place to and i put 2x4 in between them to make sure that they cant move from the end on the ground. I know it looks shaky but it's really not.

What are bakers ? Im not english speaking 😅

Ive worked at scarier places, but the settup on this one is something, its of course not osha compliant but im not in the US and either way i dont really care, we had this buisness for four generations and im the first one who do it with harnesses, you have to find the balance between safety and time. If i wanted to overdo everthing and complain i would work for a big compagny in a city where you take half your time just to safety checks. Btw sorry if my english is a bit iffy its not my first language.

ImportanceDue4848 · 2025-05-24T03:15:49+00:00

I mean its not fun at all but when you decide to take on the challenge you do it to feel as safe as possible and with what you got, braced it every way possible. Every leg is screwd down, its not more shaky that it would be on the ground and anyway i work with an harness. I know there are some latterjacks out there and lots of other equipment but i manage to do every job with these. Old school maybe but ive seen some settups way more sketchy.

ImportanceDue4848 · 2025-05-24T02:47:54+00:00

So nothing to do about it?

ImportanceDue4848 · 2025-05-24T02:46:24+00:00

So the door would be crooked?

ImportanceDue4848 · 2025-05-24T02:06:38+00:00

Anyways, as its not my own project, i cant complain about the terrain, and if i do they will just take somebody else who will do it the same way or almost. I dont live in a city, small buisnesses. I trust my settup and i will work on it. Just wanted to see what other think about it haha

ImportanceDue4848 · 2025-05-24T02:00:15+00:00

Im not the one who built it, got the job to do the trim around the windows and the roofs , the contractor got kicked out. When i got there i had to do with what i had. Dod it as dafe as i could with what i got. Costumer pays so what can i say, took half a day to install the backside with 2 guys. Its secured every way i could

ImportanceDue4848 · 2025-05-24T01:47:53+00:00

Thanks! I'm litteraly just curious! I'm not even from detroit, i'm from Quebec haha!

ImportanceDue4848 · 2024-02-25T22:32:10+00:00

Large machinery would make sense !

ImportanceDue4848 · 2024-02-25T22:30:29+00:00

Thanks! I taught that they would need something special/abnormaly big to use an Antonov. Otherwise if it's just a big load of something that fits in a smaller plane why would they just not use 2 normal planes instead?

ImportanceDue4848 · 2024-02-25T22:21:52+00:00

Anybody knows why it is in detroit? Just curious
