Erection Problems

I need some work doing on the second floor (ie, two up from the ground) and as it's external, in the first instance I've contacted 2 companies for quotes for a scaffold. Well one has quoted £600, one £14 000. I'm reading through the paperwork now in case I've missed anything obvious here, or any misunderstanding, but that can't be right???? Either one has mistood my request, or there is a massive difference in price? Thought? Experience?
If my post doesn't appear to be serious, then it is not serious. So what? Kick back, relax enjoy life and have a little fun. Life is far far too short to be grumpy!!!!

    If you need scaffolding poles for your erection problem a small blue pill is not going to help!!!
  • I just need a competent professional to help me get it up! I could give them a hand, I do have a lot of experience DIY- I've been doing it since early teenage hood- fixing and building things etc- but I feel this needs a pro.

  • How long do you hope to keep this up for?

    Sometimes reading a specialist magazine at the same time can help you attain your desired end result

    I wold expect £600. Is correct , the other bid may not want the work hence the high quote

    I, and I assume most men here, have lots of "DIY" experience as well, but I wouldn't like to try and put scaffolding around it, sounds much too specialist to me.
