Indeed, today is a good day. I had some luck too. I fell off a ladder at work. If I had fallen the wrong way, could have been game over. I fell the right way fortunately.

I think I'll treat myself and go buy some tp.

Throw some ice cream in with your tp, or eat it as you go to celebrant your luck ! But also watch out the docks have teeth, and those teeth may want your ice cream!

Especially if its fish flavored !

;)

Side note!

You could try making Eskimo ice cream!

Your ass cheeks are in for a treat. And help prevent the dreaded, "Flaming Asshole" syndrome !

So to speak anyway!

Good you fell the right way and are ok. However did you think you were lucky all the days you didn't fall off a ladder?

I hate being up on a ladder. Last summer I painted the outhouse. Every time I went down to ground I was grateful I didn't fall off it...

This is how it looks in the winter...

No wonder you need a ladder, you've built it on its side like that.

I do not know if you can get one like this one, I have had mine since abt 2005 or so, 26 foot reach, collapsed maybe 5 foot tall, they are heavy bastards but rock solid they do not twist , but I have never felt safer on a ladder, look at some of the videos they have put out, very versatile, can be an A frame, etc, etc.

The two downsides, as said they are heavy bastards and they cost a bundle, payed close to $400 for mine which was an early version, looks like they binged them up some since.

And I thought the hills were extreme here! I would probably still fall off the roof there too.

I mostly feel thankful and grateful getting off the ladder safe. I suppose I feel lucky today, because I fell and was OK.

Like you, I hate ladders. Going up a ladder in a dynamic changing environment is a death wish. Just get up it. We get hit with waves/wakes. One second the ladder is fine stable not moving, next you could be flying off the thing.

It's only because you look on the outhouse from a 90° angle across the Atlantic Ocean... ;D

A ladder staying rock solid is worth $400 IMO and you can equalize ground level with it too. In a year or two I have to paint the windboards of the main house, and I'm not looking forward too it. I look into that ladder thank you!

This thing can be used on stairs, uneven surface's it beats the hell out of any others I have used ! But lugging it around is a pain!

But in the long run it has been totally worth it, rock solid stable!

Think there's several videos out that show what it can do!

Looks sorta funny extended wide at the foot narrow at the middle then wide at the top , which is part of why they are stable!

Yes it is in the middle they shake the most! I can see it lends to its stability being shaped like that!

Not mine, never shook when I was on it, heavy duty built, that is why its a heavy bastard, stable all up and down!

You would need to see one to understand, they did not skimp on materials, which is one reason for the cost and not just buying a name!

I'm on ladders every other week, but of course here in CO we don't get much sway, or earthquakes, lol.

I think the same safety rules apply though.

1) Make sure the base of the ladder is firmly planted and can't slip (my fall today)

2) Buddy system. Have a coworker hold the ladder and watch for your safety.

3) Aluminum ladders. Don't use when it's wet (fall number 10 for me?)

4) The ladder should extend 3 rungs above the top where you get off. It's easy to slip if it's not. That fall is actually the worst, because you are the highest up.

5) Broken rungs. You don't see them in the dark. Send your biggest coworker up first. You hold the ladder acting like you are helping him and being a gentleman, when if fact you are using him as a test goon. If he makes it safe, you are good to go.

Sorry Ponce, I know this thread isn't about ladders, but ladders and tp do have something in common. Fall off a ladder, and you might need some tp afterwards.

When I was a kid in San Diego we used to dig holes then roof them and then covered with dirt then dig tunnels to connect them together!

They were our fort's

Two rules of construction was the biggest kid on the block in our group named "Scooter" (He was the fat kid on the block) had to jump up and down over the tunnel's if they did not collapse they were OK to use!

The other rule was they had to be big enough so he could fit in them! The tunnel's that failed were used as trenches for firing and viewing points!

;)

And Ponce yes this post also fit's this thread!

If you consider early life training for outhouse holes and trench latrines !

;)

They are based on virtues (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtue) found in historical Norse paganism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norse_paganism), gleaned from various sources including the Poetic Edda (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poetic_Edda) (particularly the Hávamál (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H%C3%A1vam%C3%A1l) and the Sigrdrífumál (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigrdr%C3%ADfum%C3%A1l)),[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine_Noble_Virtues#cite_note-2) and as evident in the Icelandic Sagas (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_Sagas)).

Cool story! When I was a kid we dug holes and made forts out of wood. We then had pine cone fights, where we hid behind the forts and threw pine cones at each other. The rule was to only aim for the fort, and not each other, but after a few minutes that rule was discarded. We played that until someone got hurt, and then the game was over.
