    Yikes!!! And I thought standing a 10' stepladder on four 5 gallon buckets to reach some track lights was crazy

    I had to put an extension ladder on a set of stairs to fix a roof ( my ladder only went 24' and I needed 34' ) I wired it tight to the railings though !!!

    Hanging a garage door opener, I had to put a 6' stepladder on top of a sheet of 3/4" plywood, on top of two sawhorses.
    Pretty shaky...
    I sure thought I was invincible when I was 20.

    Well, you have to mount it too the ceiling. They don't float in mid-air at the motor end. Ceiling was 14'.

    It's really not cool to make fun of Bouy's height.





























    Because you are missing all the nose jokes.

    Back when I was cutting the tank out of the Apache, Rob was over helping/supervising/laughing at me and I ran out of grinding wheels so he suggested the grinding wheels at Harbor Freight. They just happened to have Russian surplus grinding wheels made from siberian mud and broken vodka bottles. You'd touch them to the work and they would explode.

    I still have a few if you want to play a practical joke on someone.
