I built this scaffold per his plans and it worked fantastic for re-doing the roof on an old mobile home. Could not have done the work without this. He will answer any questions you have on the build. Well worth it
James, Thank you very much for sharing your experience. Appreciate your taking the time to do that. And thanks for sending me the picture of your daughter-in-law doing some work on your scaffold. Have a great day! .... Usefulgizmos
Excellent video. Thank you for posting. I am going to build this for myself as I am a 67 year old woman with no one to help me. I also like your ideas for your other videos. I always say work smarter not harder. 👍🏻
Going on 53, recent widow, bought an old farm house, no one to help me either. I didn't want to rent and haul scaffold. Plus wanting 2nd floor deck anyway, but need scaffold for many reasons like ripping off vinyl plastic siding (can't believe it exists, yuck). I really want to rip roof off and do some tin or clear/skylight/green house roof. I don't know if anyone has done a roof like that. But I am a dreamer. House is 2k sq feet, but low ceilings (they say to heat easier) but wow. Thinking of gutting inside and turning it into half green house half home all in one. Harsh winters, but want natural grown foods all year round. Or I can fix up, sell it, and move to Mexico or somewhere and retire early and grow all year round...lol
@@rcor0net304 hi Mrs Coronet. I know what your going through. I'm now a 62 year young man, trying to get his roof fixed with very little help from family. This scaffolding will cost me the same price as renting. Since I love building my own tools and useful toys, I'll have it done by next weekend. My wife will probably call it a waste of time and money 😑. But I'll use it when I build my barn😁
I need to do some repair work on my side porch but my hedges are in the way, so I need to build a scaffold above them & you gave me some ideas 💡 on how to go about it. Great video & instructions. Quality time with your son, a plus! Keep pushing forward! God bless.
Thanks for your kind words Ron. I just used my scaffold again to clean mildew on the back of our house. It's come in handy in addition to painting. ..... Have a great day! Usefulgizmos
I had to build some and stand 11ft off the ground. I fought the idea for a while, but finally lag bolted the close set of posts to the brick. It turned out rock solid.
Thank you! Was planning to do something similar to expand a shed. Going from 10x10 to 10x20-22-24? with gambrel roof truss. Old shed has gable style with very little pitch. Will replace all the roof. Planned to use a wooden work bench that has casters, block up so no chance of sinking wheels, and attach "scaffolding" to framing to do roofing. Just realized, since doubt I can lift 4x8 sheets of OSB, why not cut it to 4x4 sheets? Was planning on at least 12 foot extension so would have been cutting some anyway.
For folks asking about levelers, they can be found on Amazon. Search for "Ladder Levelers". Price has increased, probably because of Covid-19. Here's a link to a pair that are very similar to the ones I used: www.amazon.com/dp/B005J4BS6M/ref=olp_aod_redir_impl1?_encoding=UTF8&aod=1&qid=1631519137&sr=8-2&th=1
The boards are 12 feet long1x4s. But that's just because I purchased a bunch of 12 foot 1x4s for my scaffold project. The boards can be any length though I would have length to have a 45 degree angle or less. Thanks for watching and have a great day! .... Usefulgizmos

Yes, I built the scaffold that is shown in my youtube video. I had some of the materials so my cost was was reduced.

I am a single mother and had issues with the window frame on 1st floor and side shingles, have water damages and need to replace the window frame and plywood underneath the shingles and redo all.
