Question:

suggestion for cheap scaffolding to reach eaves for sand and paint?

Front facia board needs a light scrape and seal and paint but there are 2 areas that peak at 18 ft high. laying on the roof and looking over is not an option as the roof is concrete tile and unable to find any matching tiles if they break. Need to be 13 - 14 ft in the up for a length of 16 ft or approx 4 hours total. any ideas to avoid rental costs, deposits etc...?

Answer:

2 sixteen foot ladders with a 2x12 placed where you need it,if safety is not an issue
When I painted for a living, I had two options. One way was to use two aluminum extension ladders with jacks mounted on both of them and a walk board strung between them. The other way is to use 2 tall wooden ladders facing each other and run a 1 X 12 between them to stand on. There is always the park a pipck up truck under the eave and put a ladder in the bed of the truck.
