One Year Ago
One year ago my ladder fell apart while I was standing very near the top working on a painting project. After I crawled out from under the rubble, includinig a large mirror, I drove myself to the hosiptal only to find out that I'd cracked two ribs, my left shoulder and badly bruised my left kidney.
This Memorial day I finally finished the project. Without incidence I must say. It was sure nice to know that I had a sturdy new ladder that wouldn't develop metal fatigue at a crucial moment. Of course, in the beginning, the old one (really old) belonged to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. I have no idea why I put up with that ancient piece of s--t for so many years.
I can't tell you how many people have come up to me at work to say that they went out and bought a new ladder after hearing about my ladder wreck. At least something good came out of the mess.

The best thing to come out of it was that you weren't broken beyond repair!
I remember that blog. Ouch!
It's probably time I replaced my ladder. We had a roofing salesman here about a year ago who asked to check the attic. No problem. I had my ladder already set up there. He took one look at it, then went out into the truck and brought in his own.
