Took me ages on how to firgure out how to post using tapatalk. So much so that I missed deadline for the reason I was going to post. Haha!

Hi! :) I wanted to ask a question or maybe for some advice from you old scaffolders, you.

I am a girl. Hence the title... with a "friend" in scaffolding. (There are air quotes as we have dated before and am not sure what we are now - irrelevant). I wanted to know how best I could help him. It was particularly for an exam he has in scaffolding - but nows he's passed it and i found out it was multiple choice. Dumbass, even I could've done that. Worried for nothing. Haha.

Okay so we come from VERY different lifestyles. I am a firm believer of 'if you have the brains - go get educated.' But mostly as a fall back as I also believe some people aren't for uni and other trades don't require a degree. But I, myself, have been and will be going back. Have always got good grades, not a big drinker, don't enjoy pubs and live at home free of charge with pocket money sometimes. I have a part time job.

He on the other hand. Has always worked for everything he has. sometimes refers to me as a snob and a bit privileged. I do not, however. He says he grafts really hard with a full time scaffolding job and a part time second job. Poor mite wakes up at 6:30am and gets home at 10pm (6 days a week without fail) if he's lucky. He's made me want to work harder for myself and I was wondering if there was anything I could do from a scaffolders perspective.

Would be great if I could learn a little too so I can understand his day at work better.

Much appreciated to any replies - if I get any at all.

The only thing u could do in my opinion to help him-educated or not is get up in the morning &,send him off with a good packed lunch & make sure theres a hot dinner waking for him on his return.
 
We do not live together. And when I try to cook for him and shoves me off for his friends. But thank you for your reply.
 
Haha. As mentioned in the former post he has a second job.
 
Some introduction that is!!! Lol

Welcome to the forum btw scaffolders are a unique breed of character and need a right character to settle down with he should propose imo you sound ideal to keep him on his toes lol

Ps ' dumbass ' you wouldn't be American by any chance?
 
Yeah. I probably should have put this thread elsewhere but didnt know where. Propose?! Haha!! We are very young. Not to mention we aren't together... i guess. I'm just trying to understand him a little more - especially his days. It took me ages to realise 'gaffa' 'gaffer' was scaffolding jargon for boss.

With my constant need for research I seriously want to understand his lifestyle.

Nah mate. British born and bred.

He doesn't need qualifications he needs a friend who is at the top of that ladder.
 
Well I suggest he buddies up then. ;) I'm all for networking, but I want him to be able to have options. What is this level 2/3 portfolio?
