What did you do today?

[Sparky-(Admin) 23,846]

Dropped a big-un today (if 60+ feet is big?)… cut up, hauled outa the woods and already picked up and hauled away. Also cut up a tree that came down 6 weeks ago in a wind storm.

LOL! Nope, I give it all away so the end user can do the splitting

Today I remembered that I hate ladders.

Yep

Ran another tank and a half of gas through the leaf blower blowing the rest of the leaves off of the lake front property.  Too windy to burn today.  Tomorrow is supposed to be calmer.

 

Got a pile of leaves about 4' tall and 40' long.  My inner 8, 9, 10 year old says that would be great fun to jump into.  The current almost 70 year old inner me replied 'DON'T YOU DARE DO THAT'!

I am not afraid of heights. I am not a fan of ladders.

 

This is making hanging shop lights 14 ft off the ground a little challenging.

I do not necessarily hate ladders but I do realize that they are very dangerous even when used correctly.  Many jobsites actually ban them for liability. 

 

I have and use several ranging from a 6' step ladder to a 40' extension ladder but I do all I can to either limit the use or try and use other means.

Same here.  

 

I don't really mind being on a good steady ladder except when looking UP... like ceiling work.

No, I hate them. I haven't been above about 7' on one in many years. I used to have to go up about 15ish feet to service a projector regularly, but I had an A-frame ladder to use for that. The one I have now only goes about 10' in A-frame configuration.

 

 

I was hoping to have a few lights up before the floor got poured. That is not going to happen now. On the up side a guy I work with has a scissor lift that I may be able to borrow after the floor is in.

This is the way

I picked up an 8' pickup bed full of 16"-20" Oak rounds that were FREE from a local neighbor. I need to go back and get 3 or 4 more to clean up what they had. 

Sure made my 1995 F250 ride nice coming home!
