Scaffolding used in the Medway Area

Sep 27, 2009 32 Replies

Is this the normal type of scaffolding used by a handyman from Medway when building a balcony deck, painting a wall or angle grinding pain off a window sill?

the questions are:



Did the customer tell him to do it this way?



Will he slag the customer off in one of the Usenet forums?



Could there be more questions to ask I wonder?


LOL


The only real question is why are you such a sad tosser, who's only interest seems to be slagging me off?

Try getting a life.

Not having any window sills that are in pain, I don't know.

Perhaps you should ask for a geography lesson; last time I looked, Kent was not producing huge native quantities of scaffold quality bamboo.

I think that is his life.... which is probably even sadder!

Were you mentioned by name?

Ah diddums, TMH has thrown his toys out of his pram again - must be a lack of humour in that area!

Now I really do have a life - but as you were not specifically named (deliberately) I would suggest that you must have a rather guilty conscience to reply in that way! ROTFL

Neither does it produce large quantities of steel or aluminum to make metal scaffolding - but the finished product can be imported into the area! LOL

No John, you life is far sadder than mine with your lack of humour - but it takes all sorts! ;-)

BTW, 'wooden' scaffold with rope ties *USED* to be use in all parts of this country - right up to the around the last quarter of the last century - but as you rightly say, not out of bamboo.

Ah well!

The name "Bob Eager" was neither mentioned or implied - another one lacking humour!

I dunno, it looked like Racemobambos Rochesterii to me.

R.

Was that before or after you reached the heady heights of 'foreman'?

wossa problem ?

Bamboo - the only errection he can get

What's wrong with bamboo ?

One of the most versatile building materials around

Light, strong and readily available, it is used all over asia for all sorts of things. The first major building I saw with bamboo scaffolding was the US Embassy in Bangladesh, some 20 stories high

I've seen many more since

It could indeed. Seen it used thus in the area often by any chance?

Sorry, I have a sense of humour, but I just don't find you particularly funny.

Indeed, many of our great architectural marvels, great cathedrals and churches etc, owe their very existence to the skill and craftsmanship of the chippies who made building the things actually possible. Alas their work is only present for a short time, leaving the stone masons to take all the credit.

No hard hat, no hi vis vest, no boots, no walking boards, no kick boards, no netting on the outside.

I can't see a problem either.

Actually there was an ancient architectural marvel made solely out of bamboo , one of the wonders of the world.

Sadly the bamboo has all rotted away, only the stone scaffolding remains, you can see it from the A303 a few miles west of Amesbury.

Well if they had used the local limestone rather than importing granite they would have been able to chip the scaffolding out when they had finished. All that effort building the worlds first hotel and then finding they couldn't get the furniture in because of the scaffolding, doh!
