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?

Ouch! Hope the surgery and healing goes well and quickly. Just think.

Harry might take you up on your walking the golf course challenge now.

The ladder should be tied off. Not depending on lean. Especially on dirt,
where the ladder can sink in at a differential rate between the two legs.

Sorry to hear that. Heels are almost impossible to repair completely. Why
I am buying a new Hobie I11s to replace my Hobie Outback. Not climbing on
the 9' roof of the new Cirrus 820. Still figuring that n to install a
storage cover.

That got a laugh! I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I'm thinking that even on crutches I'd probably outdistance him.

The ladder was on the driveway, which is why the lean angle wasn't enough. I wanted to keep it out
of the dirt. Dumb.
