This is my husband's idea of how to paint the second story of our house! I came home from doing errands and freaked out when I saw him doing this! So, away went the truck and a rented zoom boom thing arrived!
I understand. I've been there too with my husband and my son. Sometimes those accidents so happen but they don't always teach a lesson. Wives and Mother freaking out don't always work either. Good job holding the camera still enough to get the shot.
Been there, done that. Depends on how long the task is (go up change a light bulb come down, or all day painting). Having had an extension ladder collapse from under me, I would have hired someone to go up and do whatever is needed.
Yes that happens at our house too...not these days as we haven’t got any work to do but in the past we always used the tractor & loader bucket! He’s determined to get it down all by himself! Glad you saw sense, it’s not worth the risk!
