I spent the last week installing a new window on the second story between my shifts.

Ladders tied off and scaffolding tied off to the house and taking my time on everything.

Today was cleanup day.

All the equipment taken down.

Just the first story windows to clean.

Trusty old Canadian Made step ladder is all I needed wink

Fortunately, it was a soft flowerbed.

Bad wrist sprain.

I was only 1/2 way up when it gave in.

Good thing that 4 speed is not on the road wink

That could have caused some pain. You got lucky.

Now go and buy a nice fiberglass one.

Here a lot about people falling off ladders and getting seriously hurt. Glad your ok. Guess it depends on how high
one gets before getting tossed off. Careful out there, we are not getting any younger, but we are getting more brittle.

Spend the extra money and get a type A1 ladder (300 lbs.).

I learnt the hard way.
