Monday night – scaffold day

It was pouring on Monday.. Which we knew was going to happen.… It was a perfect day to put up our scaffolding. We had searched for options about how to paint the very high 27 foot peaks of Gabe’s house… Both of which are in narrow alleys between adjacent houses.we looked at tall ladders, pump jacks and scaffolding. Lasders was cheapest.. but there kS only. About 36 inches betweek gabes house and his neiggbor ted.. well actually bhis negbors on both side are name t ed,l the 36 inch one is ‘nantucket ted’, That didnt give enough distanice for a safe ladder lean at that height. Pubp jacks are chep, but always reauire 2 people and need safety harnasses. Scaffolding is the most expensive, but was the safest and gives the best quality, So we went. With scaffolding. The company we are workign wit h mostly does commercial scaffolding.. they rarely work with folks like hus whom are painiting their onwn h9mes.. they have been so gr eat to work with.. they offered to save us money by sending onky a foreman and getting us to help erect and later disman tel the scafokding,,

It was rainign oretty hard by the. Time that mario showed uo with hsi truck,, he was super nice to work wit h and called out toeices he needed for us to help build 24. Foot. Scaffolkds on both sides of the house. .. later on his colleague Si. Ame.. between the. 5 of us we got them up in less than 4 hours
