Rung Up

[Yerf Dog]

I was hanging some Christmas lights last weekend, struggling with my 6' aluminum stepladder when my neighbor stopped by. He offered me the use of his telescoping multi-position ladder and it worked great.

After I finished, I was motivated my to get one for myself. I did a little research and found the same model my neighbor had loaned me. Werner MT-22 (22') for sale at Lowes for $221... at Amazon, $159... a little more searching and I found it for $129 at my local Home Depot. Excellent ladder for a great price. :seasix: If you're in the market, check out HD. :seasix:

I use arrows. Attach the end of the string of lights to an arrow, along with a piece of strong twine, and fire away. Repeat until the lights are hung. After Christmas, pull the twine to dislodge the arrows (and lights).

I don't need a latter for hanging the Christmas lights. Hooks stay in the soffits, so I use a stick I made with a slot on the end.

[Kerrmudgeon]

That ladder looks like it does it all. Is it weight rated for us big guys?

We used to use old hockey sticks with a U cut into the top of the handle and hang our lights on the permanent cup hooks on the roof. Worked great for putting them up and down.

That's what I used to do until I took an arrow in the knee.

Did you sue the arrow manufacturer?

This happened while you were cleaning it, huh?

He could have saved even more by just bringing the neighbor a 6 pack every time he needs a ladder. That's a lots of beer, and chances are the neighbor would offer to drink it with the OP. I'd call buying another ladder a save big bucks fail.

I have a 40' ladder, and whenever any of my neighbors need a ladder, they just borrow mine....no 6 pack rental required.

the offer was pretty simple: take a picture and die, or get a hug and leave the camera in the other room and live.....i'm still alive. duh.

:withstupid: I have the original Little Giant ladder. It is one heavy SOB though.

Short people problems.

This little stool is mine
I use it all the time
To reach the things I couldn't
And lots of things I shouldn't.

I'm short and I intend to stay this way...Garfield. :confused5:

It splits into two ladders. All you need is a plank/scaffold piece.

That is the ladder I purchased after my dads 50+ year old aluminum ladder collapsed on me a little over a year ago. Hurts bad to fall from 6'...can only imagine falling further!
