This is Part 1 of a 3-4 part series on renovating a room. One of the most important things to think about when starting a home renovation project like this is how to work comfortably. There is a section of the sunroom that has a cathedral ceiling so I’m building a small scaffolding system. I found over the years that working from scaffolding is safer, more comfortable, and makes the job more enjoyable.

Nice n Sturdy, I like that,, It'll probably hold my 350# brother inlaw,
Nice little scaffold setup.
Just buy a freakin' baker's for cryin' out loud.
What's the shear rating on those screws? Screws are very weak in shear and I wouldn't stand on that scaffolding from any higher than I wanted to fall to the ground. Nails or lag screws, not wood screws or construction screws.
looks nice but I'd add a guard rail.
Why does almost every woodworker in the us use drywall screws instead of plywood screws for their projects.
thanks jon really helpful..now I can look forward to safe work at height.
Nice job and tanks for tha tips
Do the wheels have locks?
Jon, useful info. Thanks for posting. Do the wheels have locks on them, or do you block them when you're working?
Hey John – Looks great! How much did the scaffold cost to make vs. renting?
Good video, as usual.
I just want to know what kind of dust mask that was @ 1:14?? Looks comfortable and convenient with the velcro closure. I think I would like to get one. Thanks.
Hi Jon. Wow really looking forward to the room renovation series!
Nice! Looking forward to the full project. love the design!
That's a much better solution than moving a ladder all over the place
As a small side note, you can make the walking area out of thinner cuts if you add one piece of wood from end to end on the bottom in the middle. That piece of wood will take all the flexing from the structure and also provide more strength.
I know because when i started renovating one of my rooms i ran out of space for my books and had to build a very spacious but strong structure. 5 shelves each at 2.5 meters long with a 2.3 hang. It's been two years now since i began work on the old bookshelves (had some problems with the old lacquer and no time to do it fast) and i've observed no bowing or warping despite being loaded with more books than i could move in a day.
TLDR the wonders of structures.
We're all going the wrong way on the age thing! Lol. Nice project.
That will certainly make the job a lot easier Jon.
+Jon Peters Jon, great build. Nice and safe. You're not that old!!!!
Jon – I noticed you used washers with the drywall screws; I've never done that before. Is there a benefit of doing it that way I'm not aware of? Thank you for the insight and new trick!
"I'm getting old man." HAHA I'v got about 15 years on you. Trust me, you will be saying it more and more.
That looks like it will get the job done, Jon. Why the washers on the screws?
hey! that's a classy way of advertising. Not unlike most youtube channels that talks really fast about why product A is good, etc etc
That ceiling is beautiful don't paint please! Don't give in to the none wood lovers!
Looking forward to meeting you in Atlanta!
I've done similar things to paint stair wells numerous times. Like you said, much more comfortable than just a ladder.
