I'm struggling to picture this one marra.

Maybe they were trying to avoid an outer guardrail?

Draw it for us...
 
Simple enough marra, the scaff made an erse of it. No plan no thought and the client will end up picking up the tab for more alterations through his own ignorance as he didn't spell out what was required.

you can draw better than you can spell and write marra:eek:
 
Theres nothing holding them rockets to the launchpad.
 
Cant you drop your six standards in now?i expect you'd have to run a couple of ledgers in aswell,but is it worth it if there's only one more lift a nd a table to go?normally if your sharing a gable you'd split the difference and maybe start off with a blocking lift on the lower level??.....come on marra you've fecked that one right up,lol:cry::laugh::laugh:

think u nailed it there marra , the 2 scaffolds share the standard but the houses wont be built at the same time and the scaffolds wont be stripped at the same time , always leads to problems
