Angelica, apprentice scaffold erector “It’s intriguing the way you can build around the most awkward thing and end up with a safe structure that other people use to do their work. Without scaffold builders, a lot of work wouldn’t get done.” Angelica comes from a family of scaffold builders, and by the time she gets home, they already have a report on how well she did on the job. “They check in with the people I work with, and whatever feedback they get always comes back to me. It's fun.”
