Reminds me of the warning label on a hair dryer.
Dont use while taking a shower

Well, yeah. But he is wearing gogles, so at least he's safe.

The other interesting things about this situation are first, that he is soaking wet from the arm pits down -- I guess he had to get to the ladder somehow, and second, that if you look at the side of the pool, all you see is liquer bottles. I suspect if you could really zoom in, one of them would be less than full.

When I am on a ladder I like to have someone steady it for me too. Wonder why his partner is not doing that!

This guy needs that other guy (working under the pickup supported by 4x4s) to steady the ladder.

 

[BRIGUY]

Looks normal to me.

But then again I've spent several years working in the third world. Brings back bad memories.

Life is real cheap. Seen many loose there lives because it was cheaper than the necessary safety equipment. Usually 100 more ready to take their place for $1 a day.

The guy sitting on the side of the pool is NOT holding the ladder so he doesn't get fried when the drill drops in the water.
The booze bottles are all lined up. Bet they are working on a bar next to the pool.

Darwin's law in action.
This guy has never heard of fiberglass ladders, cordless tools and possibly a small dewatering pump?

Anyone notice the booze in the background? He must've had a nip.

I have seen that picture before and it comes from an amazing collection from what apears to be 3rd world countries. Wish I could find them. Things like a big forklift picking up a little forklift to gain enough height. Or a 20' home made ladder built out of boards on top of a truck used to service light poles.

Great stuff......................I will look for it.

I wonder if anyone else might be in the pool watching, while he's working?

This picture is fair dinkum (Aussie translation = real) was taken by one of my tech's whilst working across the road from this store last week!!!!

Junkman,
Just goes to show you a saying I've been saying for a long, long time - <font color="red">They should NOT sell tools to just anybody!</font> /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

 

[hobbyfarm]
