You can use a ladder safely and yes probs a **** load of trips up and down but it keeps you fit
Hire a lightweight zip up tower scaffold. Only if you have the room to move about. Piece o pss to build yourself

But looking at the manifold it wont be...
Jeff-tower scaffold.
£150 I paid for easy enough to work at the height youre doing.
That ladder is far too steep btw.
I know the ladder was too steep, because i wanted the keep the recomended three step overlap it barely reached. I only had 1 step overlap spare. roof work on a ladder Is supposed to have a 3 foot overheight on the lowest level but my ladder just wasn't tall enough. I had a 2000kg rope and full torso harness, so most of my weigh was on the rig luckily!!Quote:

Cheers for the advice though.
Fukk em,a contractor would do the same.Its the only way,aslong as you put cones out to barrier yourself off (falling gear etc) then youre working well within H&S regulations,i know this as iv done a very boring course on working at height and coning areas off etc.
cool, should save me a few bob. cheers.Quote:

No worries,only other alternative is a cat ladder,which hooks over your ridge,but for this you ideally want a much bigger ladder than youre using to scale the roof onto it.
I did look at buying one, but it seemed like a waste of money for one job. I have to put my current ladder in my loft as I don't have a garden. lolQuote:

Roofer wanted £1300 eek!
No wonder us northerners take over your building sites down there
Finding out there's a big rally on tomorrow and it's only 15 mins drive from my new place :d Now know what I'm doing tomorrow :thumb:

Glad to see you got it sorted. Was the filter blocked? Hopefully see you next weekend.
You get that message I sent you last night?
No, it was fine, although I had filled the tank with 4 gallons of fuel (what I drained out) it was too low, added an additional 3 gallons, all OK, will fit a proper prefilter soonQuote:
