Would You Climb This?

LeeNetworX · 03-23-2011, 09:48 PM

Getting our house painted and when I got home from work today there was a little 125 lb. Mexican at the top of this thing painting.

I'll hand it to these guys - they are willing to do whatever it takes to earn their wage. I think I could maybe make it up half way before not wanting to go any further. Fuck that.

Unfortunately I've done worse and I absolutely detest heights.

Yeah Mexicans earn their keep.

Captain Morgan · 03-23-2011, 10:14 PM

Yeah, I'd climb it. I might get butterflies about halfway up when it really starts to bow, but I'd still climb it. I use to "walk" up ladders with a bucket in each hand.

I would paint up there, but I wouldn't climb that ladder. I can't stand the way ladders squeak and give under my weight, and I not even heavy!

Damn, big-ass home. 3 stories? Or just 2 but with cathedral ceilings?

Been there done that. But I was hanging cedar siding at the father in laws... so I was carrying a piece of siding (sometimes so long it was from my ladder to his), and a tool belt with nails and hammer. I didn't like it, but I did it.
