When using a ladder, get insurance and have some backups ready to go just in case (See Cowboy thread for details).

Of course, if he's building any type of stucture, i.e. brick, block, etc., scaffolding is the best way to go..........as there will be no wall to lean the ladder against.

Wile Coyote has shown us that the installation of ACME springs on one's feet will give you good bounce with great height as well as holding time. Though there have been some serious issues about this method.

Or you could try a JLG or scissor lift.

Extend-A Boom type lift.

Certainly faster than erecting scaffold. Reduce cost? Depends.
