Would You Climb This?
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, 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!
