This should detract Harry and Donnee from their 'falling from a roof' lies about you.

Friday I leaned a ladder against the trailer, with not nearly enough lean. Got up to the top,
started to sweep debris off the roof of the bedroom slide, and the ladder slipped. Down I went,
landing squarely on my right heel on the concrete driveway. Crawled up the driveway and into the
house to call 911. ER doc says heel bone (calcaneus) is 'shattered' and will require surgery.

And all I'd had to drink was coffee!



Say what?
Anyone with a lick of sense knows that you place the ladder feet 1 foot out for every 4 feet high.

I had my smaller 20' extension ladder up against a tree yesterday with the feet on soft dirt. Needed to replace a snapped clothes line.
No problem.


Obviously you and Krause are the brightest lightbulbs on the tree, eh Donnee?
