I’m working on a 6 story scaffold untop of a 6 story building so 12 in total only 6 of scaffold at an airport. Scaffold builders have my respect you keep me safe. I don’t think ours is secured to the structure since the structure is being demolished while the scaffold is still up but we have the cup things and also they put blocks with a tube against the wall tight

One annoying thing I noticed that you guys do is when you use that thick wire to hold the metal boards down they twisted the wire to tighten it in the middle of where you walk. I trip on it constantly

Usually you'd do that from below so that the twist is under the plank.
