If you are cutting wood and you chop off your big toe, dip your foot into some Kerosene, then dust it with flour, so says my crazy drunk uncle

In a pinch, you can tie two extension ladders together to make a big step ladder. Which is what I had to do today. The Church's video projector is 17 feet above ground and there is nothing to put an extension ladder against. Since the local tool-rental place didn't want to rent me a ladder, I was forced to make my own. It got the job done - though I wouldn't make a habit of it.

Boy, that sounds safe.

I doubt OSHA would have approved.

You didn't spread pillows all around it.

Wow, you're awful brave doing that on Friday the 13th and all.

Why wouldn't they rent you a ladder?

I'll bet you had a devil of a time rigging that.

Probably wasn't wearing his collar "thingy" and thought he was a felon.

Was he wearing Raider gear?

Would you let him borrow your ladder if he were your neighbor? You know his head alone weighs about 80 lbs.

GD - I wish I could rep that but I've already repped you in the "Psi - Unveiling" thread and it won't let me.

I didn't realize that it was friday the 13th. Maybe that explains why I didn't get everything finished up in time to play golf. Maybe I didn't want to play golf on friday the 13th either.


I went in, asked the guy what the biggest step ladder he had was, he said it was a 12 footer - which I could have reached everything with but it would have been more of a stretch. Anyhow, he tells me that the 12 footer won't work because it isn't tall enough - said you can't reach higher than 12 foot while standing on it anyway.:-) Then, I say I'll take it and give it a try anyway, to which he kinda isn't to happy about, then he says, "How you gonna haul it". I told him since I was only going a a dozen or so blocks, I could just let it hang out of my van - to which he had a real conniption. So I just looked at him and said, I guess you don't want to rent it so I'll have to figure something else out. Then I left.

Nice... using a step ladder to increase the height of the wooden ladder.

Dartgod, someone probably told them about his safety record.

Not really. Put one ladder on top of the other and tied the top rungs together with rope. The 6 foot step ladder was an after thought as that aluminum "Widow-maker" as I call it, didn't have a very wide stance. After climbing a little way up, I decided to add a rope at the top for a couple of others to hold to steady it up.
