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.

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

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.

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

Do women use ladders?

Evidentally not properly from what I have been told.

Damn, that is amazing! Go to the site and see how they did it, if you haven't already.

Those are some mad Lego skillz.

For an authentic GGG lader site, I recommend the tour put on by the Ute Mountain Tribe in Utah/Colorado. They escort you to several of the Anasazi pueblos on their reservation that are tucked in the side of mesas a little south and west of Mesa Verde

The ladder climbs are pretty exciting and after two, a third was far beyond my wife's comfort level. The dread of the return was beyond her capacity.

The ladders are made from local shaved poles and to my eye meet OSHA specs for size and cleated rungs.

The Anasazi had some ladders that were very high and consisted of notches in a log. Imagine the thrill fo being on such a ladder 20 feet up with a sheer cliff 300 0r 400 beneath the base of the ladder.

I haven't been to that one yet. I'm not a big fan of heights--dunno how I worked on some archaeology surveys, walking near cliff edges with 500 ft drops.

Ever seen Jackson's staircase at Chaco? My friend in the BLM tells me there are some amazing dwellings in Grand Gulch, Utah. I had to settle for pictures.
