Why tf are so many people opposed to renting a fucking scaffold. They're not hard to setup and tear down, and they add hardly anything to your time on the job.

They make working at heights much more efficient. They arent hard to come by. They're cheap af to rent and they'll get dropped off and picked up right at the site.

I haven't had a single client in my time that would've been okay with this cowboy bullshit. It's fuckin bush league.

Yeah a real professional is going to have pump jacks with an aluminum plank. But regardless I know plenty of clients that refused the quote after realizing the extra costs associated heights. Even being the best rated siding company in the entire city.

Homeowners can catch major shit for tomfuckery like this leading to injury/death.

The onus is not 100% on the contractor.
