I never had a problem climbing onto a roof but, for years, I had
trouble getting back on the ladder to get down.

What helps me is to extend the ladder 4 or 5 feet above the roof line
so you've got something to grab onto before you get to the edge.

Now that I have the trick down, it is just as easy for me to have
about 1 rung above the roof line and I go directly over it. I got used
to the drill when I was only going up one story above my deck in
Maryland.
Before that it was a 2 story with a 4' basement wall below that and it
was just spooky on a cheap 3 piece extension ladder, 20 some feet up.
Oh yeah...I also have good quality 2 piece Grade 1 extension ladders.. The 36 footer is getting a bit heavy to handle at 80 pounds.

Let your wife set it up for you.

She did assist me up to the last paint job. She would anchor the ladder's feet while I walked it up to a vertical position and she'd help me turn it to face the wall. On occasion she'd support the ladder when I was up working between the 20 and 26 foot level...then I caught her not doing her job. She complained that it was "boring".


Alex, like FlaJim and several other righties here, love to make usually
negative comments about the wives and kids of some other posters, but
are totally silent about their family members. Is it possible their
wives are hookers and their kids are jailed drug addicts?


Alex said absolutely nothing negative about Don's wife. You love to make those type of accusations,
along with your 'racist' accusations, and in doing so exhibit even more of your dishonesty.

You, on the other hand, have no qualms about your anti-family comments, as shown above.

You're a f'ing liar Krause.


Heh.
