We spent the afternoon painting the ceiling of the house. We had been batting around the idea of renting scaffolding to help Pat reach the 12.5 foot ceiling, but for the cost of that Pat bought an articulating Wagner ladder for $200.00 which we can use for longer than three days.
This was one of those purchases that worked out, he loves his ladder.
I think the name is The Little Giant..
And, this will work on the outside too, for when he needs to finish the high areas of the soffit and fasica he's not been able to paint due to cold weather. Of course, I only stand back and admire the engineering. The steps up to the communion rail at church are almost beyond me and my lack of balance.
Our plywood, which we have been anticipating being delivered this week has been delayed a week. We are getting our IKEA cabinets on Friday and we'd hoped to have at least the kitchen area finished so that Pat could assemble the cabinets next week, which he had taken off from work. Instead, it will be a week of no work, either on the house or at the office...I hope he doesn't get into trouble. Idle hands are the Devil's playthings.
We've had a Little Giant ladder for years. Used it twice maybe. But then the little giant here doesn't work at that stuff quite the way the little giant in your household does.
ReplyDeleteHowever, he did put up some very nice cabinets in our laundry room to replace the one, too high for me to reach, coming away from the wall shelf that has been there since we built the place 7 years ago.
As usual, we're wondering what took us so long to make the change considering the cabinets are like totally way better. BB
I have to post a big fat correction. It isn't a little giant ladder, It is a werner ladder. Pat saw the W, knew it was a german name and thought right away of the Ring Cycle.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, he does love it I however, just look upon it as one more thing I will never use, much like Mom and the blender.
I too will be glad to get into cabinets not designed for the tallest people on earth.
