I think skipping the full scaffold for single-story jobs is fine, fight me
I mean, I just use a tall ladder and my extension rods for most ranch homes, idk. It saves a ton of time and I've never had a slip. But everyone at the guild says you're asking for a fall without proper setup. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like we overcomplicate easy accesses. What's your take on this?
What specific bad outcome are you picturing when you say gamble? A vague warning doesn't help anyone make a real choice. Give us a concrete example of this going wrong.
