Do women use ladders?

[Alia]

Raising Hand

[zlala]

You bet we do.

[lormand]

"Do women use ladders? "

Not around my house. I know that women don't use car blinkers.

[Dallas59]

Do you use a a piece of wire or a rag to secure the aluminum ladder when working around power lines???

[girlscout]

Those of us who were born height challenged find ourselves using a step ladder to reach the top shelf.

[Lucky9teen]

You forgot this one...

[Robert A. Cook, PE]

(Robt decides he should look up (er, into) the matter. Goes over and stands under Alia's ladder, jest to get to the bottom of her (er, ut.)

(Gabz and Texan5 threaten him with ballpeen (er, balls pinging) hammer.)

[SIDENET]

My favorite.

[Lucky9teen]

[Deguello]

Chainsaws & ladders are a poor match. It never goes good.

[gate2wire]

This is a ladder for painting baseboard.

[girlscout]

It looks just like the step ladder I have at home and I'm not painting any baseboards. Guess it's a ladder of many uses ;-)

[gate2wire]

When I painted, that's what I would sit on to paint baseboard. Otherwise, I never used that size ladder. :-)

[Millee]

Noted.

:o)

[EX52D]

You bet we do, and that reminds me of a project I have to complete, although I think I'll rent a personnel lift instead. :)

[Alia]

I use wire; but only when a severe thunderstorm alert has been issued.

[Alia]

Well, then. You should hope that one of my tools doesn't accidentally drop out of my carpenter's belt. I don't always secure the hammer properly....

[tet68]

Ladders? We don't need no stinking ladders!

[Gabz]

That's why it's bad luck to break ladders and walk under mirrors.

[Robert A. Cook, PE]

Well, then. You should hope that one of my tools doesn't accidentally drop out of my carpenter's belt. I don't always secure the hammer properly....

Belt!

Belt?

I don't see no stinkin' belt on dat derriere! (er, dear rear. No. dat der rear.)

(Robt dodges falling hammer....)

(Texan5 throws another one, just fer good measure...)

[Robert A. Cook, PE]

Oh.

That belt.

[Gabz]

You are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO twisted.........

[Species8472]

[Alia]

It saves on the laundry.

[neb52]

Well he is using a spotter. :P

[neb52]

don't these chumps know what a cherry picker is? A one day rental is worth than a broken neck.

[theDentist]

You should hope that one of my tools doesn't accidentally drop out of my carpenter's belt.

2 words: Strap On

[Hatteras]

So? What's the problem?...

[Cold Heat]

LOL! That's me..........or was me.....

I can't get on a ladder anymore due to injuries sustained.....LOL......

[Hatteras]

I saw that guy's car parked out front...

[SunkenCiv]

D59, this is, by far, and bar none, the best topic on ladders that has ever appeared on FR. Ladders have played such an important role in the development and maintenance of civilization that I'm going to send this out to the entire GGG list. Thanks for posting it.

Have a great weekend, everyone!

To all -- please ping me to other topics which are appropriate for the GGG list. Thanks.

Please FREEPMAIL me if you want on or off the
"Gods, Graves, Glyphs" PING list or GGG weekly digest
-- Archaeology/Anthropology/Ancient Cultures/Artifacts/Antiquities, etc.

I'm really not supposed to laugh this hard at work. We have a quiet office. Usually.

[SunkenCiv]

Some ladders are so darned complicated, it's hard to see how even to climb them.

[ferri]

oh man. these make me nervous just looking at them. lol no way no way no way!!!

[TomSmedley]

Firefighters spend one whole day learning to handle and use ladders. You might say it's their "Ladder Day Saints" training segment.

[fanfan]

[SunkenCiv]

[SunkenCiv]

[SunkenCiv]

This topic has climbed to new heights of silliness, but steps are being taken. I mean really, this is a clear-cut issue of right and rung.

[Fierce Allegiance]

What's a personnel lift? My company uses manlifts all the time.


BTW, i had crab legs last weekend, and they were AWESOME!

[Fierce Allegiance]

HOLY Crap! check out post 42 for Escher in legos! LOL!

[EX52D]

They're one man lifts, like these...

(and I'm jealous of the crab legs) :)

[Fiddlstix]

Ah! An M.C. Escher fan I take it..........

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

I watched in horror as I told my wife to "do it yourself" about hanging a picture and she took a hammer and "drove" the screw into the wall.

I laughed so hard and so did she because he remodeled a powder room all by herself when I wouldn't do it. She did an awesome job, but used the screw and hammer incident to remind me that she is still a girl at heart.

The remodel she did included paint, fixtures, hanging pictures and a light fixture. Her dad (an electrical engineer) talked her through the light fixture over the phone.

[Texas_shutterbug]

Use a ladder?

You bet! I'm terrified of heights, but I don't trust my husband to do as good a paint job as I do! And I can wallpaper, too.

He still changes the lightbulbs, though. I won't get on a ladder if he can do it. haha

[SunkenCiv]

You can't prove that.
