Scaffolding & chinking....
We're finally getting to the second story height for the outside chinking, so we converted on of our 32' extension ladders to a set of scaffolding walkboards. Took them apart, which gave us two 16' sections. Just long enough to go from the center out, & overhang past the overdangles.
We put some 3/8" plywood over the rungs & used 1-1/4" pipe clamps from the backside to secure the wood but not damage the ladder, & added some brackets to sit on the ladder jack:
Then we lifted the end of the walkboard up to the overdangle, tie it on so it couldn't slide off, then used a rope to lift the center up to the ladder jack. We also strung up a safety line behind us as extra precaution:
