thanks for that :-)

sorry Kayak
didnt mean to spoil your thread,
hope you get it sorted !

Hard part for the scaffolder is getting the beams across the glass into the cill. Once one is in its an easy job.
id put a 13ft board onto the cill and slide the beam across, thats really hard :-)
but why you would need beams on what looks like an 8ft span is beyond me, or even a 10ft span.

Transoms can project 3 boards outside beams to get to the outer edge.
2 before they need spurring up

Fully legal? NO, workable and safe? Yes if you are sensible.
and the other suggestions aren`t

a couple of trestles with boards across inside is still the best way to go I think

@ whitestone

qualified scaffolder but haven’t done it for 20 years? have you kept your card in date then?
and you forgot to mention how to support the middle of the span?

all of the above are accidents waiting to happen, a mobile tower erected by a competent person or a proper scaffold company is the only safe way to go.

my method WOULD work, if erected properly. I did qualify it by saying it wouldn’t pass health and safety, but if carried out correctly by someone competent.

my qualifications are advanced scaffolder since 1971, advanced scaffold inspector, and our company have just erected the most important project in the uk at the moment, pm me for details.

and that crap about old buildings not designed for structural fixings, what a crock, all brick buildings will take a structural fitting of some sort. I have a pull test certificate too.

there is no need to drill into the wall
erect a couple of vertical poles from the end opposite the window, then rest 3 poles from those uprights onto the window cill, one in the centre, and one in each side of the window reveals.

( 3 poles or even four would negate the need to use a centre support, as long as you dont overload it)

brace the end opposite the window in two directons

toward the window
towards the wall coming away from next door.

then a couple of short intermediate poles to support your planks.
a couple of guard rails.
this should leave you enough room to get at all the glass and room to manoeuvre.

this wont pass health and safety but will work

Kayak
it will be really awkward to work above your glass and handle the glass
I still think the best thing is to work from below

im a bit confused.
why would you want to put a scaffold above the work?
or have I misunderstood?

I suggest you build a platform inside the conservatory and work from underneath, that would also stop the glass from falling and you would work at waist height renewing glass and bits in between and maybe have a platform at the end for the last piece to go back in.

I remember one tip when I did mine.
when you cut out the sink hole, leave the bit you are cutting out in place, cut all the way around, but leave one small connecting piece on each side. this is so as you are manoeuvring it into place that the thin bits dont break, and just take the middle bit out once its in place.

<I’ve got some Fox Indicator trousers for general riding, bit less Power Ranger bit more comfy joggers. Fit is really good, possibly most comfortable trouser/short I own.>

couldn’t agree more, really comfy and good fit,

<Might as well wear tights if you think those FOX troos look good>

look better with them on than I do in shorts

is this stupid? I dont mean it to be.

concerts are usually over two nights at least?
if the acts agreed, couldn’t they make one night for women only and couples, and the next night men only ?
or something along those lines.

I can see how this isnt an ideal solution, but …?

I knew there would be an answer, so there are no masks available that lessen the impact at all ?

oops

Ill let you know
im waiting for my 34.9 shim to be delivered

try this one

the bloodhound gang

I have a reverb he can have for£55 posted,

try Contour cycles Welwyn Garden city, they aren’t too far from you, highly recommended , by me and others,
and they look after Uk Bike Skills Tony Doyle (Jedi) bikes and equipment

I only eat the top of a pizza, never eat the base its much too stodgy.

i get a loaf of tiger bread, take all the insides out and butter the whole loaf inside so it is all tiger crust :-)

if i make myself meat and vegetables, being single ill eat the meat on its own (steak, chicken etc.)one day
and then eat the vegetables on their own the next day

I was wondering why motorbikes choose a certain size and if they had any correlation to differing mtb sizes?

ive got a new set of hope boost adapters for the rear that I dont need ;-)

what size are you ?

I have 2 pairs of brand new unworn shimano am 41s flats shoes in size 10/11 if you are interested :-)

I have a golf 2.0 td for my work car at the moment its a “60” plate
I just take pool cars that are available as I have 2 other vehicles at home

the golf has done 175,000 miles, and it hasn’t been treated well, lots of people in our company have used and abused it.

I cant believe how well it drives, its so reliable, oops jinxed it, and its an automatic

I have credit cards and pay them off in full every month

I have one credit card in my sons name which I use and pay off every month, this helps his credit rating

I sometimes use it when I get a good deal, I bought a bike at a really good discount which meant I had that bike that bike immediately, I paid it off over a year, which was a struggle, but I had a nice bike/and an asset I may not have saved up for but had to because it was on credit.

I guess its all about discipline and being sensible

thanks for trying

the manage adverts page doesn’t allow me to do anything
I think its because I have an alert which says I have reached my maximum of 3 adverts
there is nothing clickable on the manage advert page now, not even the alert

oops

i usually include my name in the company name, like this, without spaces

scaffold company`s generally price for “4 a week period” and after this there can be continued hire.

the scaffold company may think they have erected in accordance with the price they quoted and the instruction to proceed.

unless the scaffold company were new and working on a proforma invoice, they wouldn’t expect to get their money for 30 / 60 days depending on the contract.

id still get a new company to erect the side and work on that section while waiting for the missing scaffolders, it may get sorted in that time and you can get it down in time for xmas.

while the other scaffold is up id start the gutter and fascia from that end maybe, also to speed things up.

if the existing scaffold isn’t too far from the end of the front it still might be enough to reach with the side erected

StevieD

if the scaffold is just not enough, and not erected wrongly. the building company could just get another scaffold firm to erect the rest of the scaffold ( without connecting to the existing scaffold) and your roofer could work on both ( he has after all paid for it).

doesn’t sound as if they have erected it wrongly, just not enough??

@tthew

a***le

if you noticed I said” I know what id do!!!!”

you don’t have to be qualified to take a scaffold down or even erect one.

you only have to be a “competent person”

industry standard says a competent person should  erect a scaffold and it will have to be inspected and passed before any one can work on it.

I didn’t redact my reply, I took it down because I didn’t want idiot people like you replying, but in hindsight, you seem to be a plank, so you could legitimately be on any scaffold

Tony Doyle aka Jedi

ride with him and our group at least twice a week, and just me and him most Mondays.

its great to ride with him doing exactly what he teaches, and with a casualness and confidence i will never have.

you wont take this away from one of his coaching courses, but he is super fast as well as technically brill.

also Zak Shaw champion Bmx er is pretty awesome too
