Dealing with rusting old balconies

How's your liability insurance?

How's your liability insurance?

Covers damage to property. Why?

 

[Burnerman]

God forbid someone gets injured.......say kids swinging on those balconies or whatever.
Any claims will be directed at repairs carried out, or the original installation plus the individuals concerned, and the competency thereof.
It's called guarding one's own private parts.
Please be careful what you carry out - you can't carry the weight of the block on your shoulders! There's a difference between a few odd jobs and rebuilding.
No intention to patronise here!

If you are the last person involved in the maintenance of those SAFETY barriers and they fail for any reason, you will be the person held responsible.

Are you capable and qualified to assess their safety and security after any work you do? Does your insurance cover you for such work?

Will you sleep at nights if anything should happen ?

I'm painting them only. No responsibility on my part for the fixings failing.

Btw on these balconies I'm using 40 grit (green paper) and 120 grit. I'm using the 40 to feather out the cracks and holes. Should I go over with 120 afterwards for a key. Scraping seems like a lot of work. Whats difference between yellow and green paper?
