I did the same when I painted the kåken a couple of years ago.
The frugan drove me around in the bucket of a small wheel loader, but to reach the ridge
I also had to use the ladder.

sometimes you have to keep it simple......but getting an electrician up on that ladder, would never have worked, hardly even without risk premium,mycke_nu said:
I can sometimes think that the focus on safety can go overboard, but that was honestly among the dumbest things I've seen in a western country.
Rent scaffolding, a skylift, or a painting company, for god's sake!

Haha, when my boss was out walking the dog, he saw a guy who had his wife in the timber claw on the hydraulic arms of the timber truck to paint the fascia boards. Awkward if you're a little too quick on the hand and squeeze with the claw.
Even with real ladders, things can go wrong when people don't think about what they are doing. The neighbor next to my mom was painting the gable and had a 6-meter extension ladder, two-part that was at max length. The ladder was on the garage driveway, which was a bit uneven, but he wasn't worried and managed to handle a few sways. After a while, he got tired of having to go down to move the ladder and tried to jump sideways. Once went well, the second time too, but the third time he didn't have enough force, and it didn't jump, so he really pushed, and managed to unhook the "hooks" at the ladder's base. The bottom part of the ladder quickly leaned outward, and the top part where he was clinging, screaming, leaned inward against the house wall. The ladder quickly folded like a jackknife, and the neighbor screamed even louder, still holding onto the ladder in a tight grip. As the house wall had slowed down the top part, the falling speed wasn't that great, but it still banged significantly when he landed. After maybe 30 seconds, he realized he was lying on the ground screaming and tried to let go, which didn't work because his body weight had trapped his hands between the ladders. I got down as fast as I could and managed to lift the ladder enough so that he could free his hands and stand up. Two thousand d-n, j-sus, ouch, and many other curses later, I drove him to the emergency room. The whole way there, he cursed himself and the idiot who had constructed the ladder. In the evening when he got home, he had both hands bandaged and spent the rest of the vacation in the garden, cursing that he was restless and had nothing to do.
Why are people such idiots?
NetNut - a neighbor so dumb they might as well be wrapped up in their own ladder and scream. If you help them, they'll just find a new way to get themselves killed.
