Could'a saved a bunch standing on the top of an 8' step ladder. Would'a just reached!

Just kidding, that was money well spent.

Now what else are you gonna use that lift for before you take it back on Monday?

Be careful on ladders. At 72 I am extra wary now. I haven't got the balance I used to have. About 2 months ago my neighbour whose house is a high level with a porch about 15 feet off the ground stood up on the railing trying to fix some shade cloth. Unfortunately he slipped and fell the 18 feet or so and landed on his head. Lucky he is not a quadraplegic but he was close too it. Even now he has brain problems. He can't think and gets severe headaches. He had a massive contusion on his head and gravel scraped face etc. Ambulance took him to hospital for a couple of days for observation.

I used the man lift when I installed the lights last year. For the two fixtures I'll just need 10' step ladder and my rolling ladder. They'll hang from beams (purlins) about 12' above the shop floor.

Aha, that would be great for me. I'll borrow it after you have done the job.

It has wheel brakes?

Hey Don (or anyone)
If you get a decent Verizon signal, check out Visible.com

I'm very curious to see if the service is truly unlimited. Visible may not themselves throttle the data, but Verizon retains the right to do so in their contract with Visible. And from what I've been reading about similar services, Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint/T-Mobil will throttle at somewhere over 60 Gb/month. (none of them publish the exact figure).

At 45, I'm starting to be leary of ladders and pitched slopes. I cleaned the gutters with a blower and just walk around the edge. The steeper pitch of the garage roof gives me issues now. A couple years ago I walked around up there like a Billy goat and never gave it a second thought.

This is interesting Verizon owns Visible;
What is Visible?

Supposedly so.
I got it on my old iphone 6s with idea to put sim in my Mofi for internet. Worked but I was only getting 3-4 mbps as Mofi doesn’t get Band 66 and my tree obstruction. I ended up taking sim from my Unite Explorer and put in Mofi and very pleased. Just hope it lasts until I can get Starlink.
As I took the Explorer out of my truck, I replaced with the iphone because it gets different coverage than my AT&T iphone as a backup. Figure at $25/month, no contract, I can just cancel anytime I’m not happy. God knows, I’ve wasted more on less.
Using the refund I got from 4GAS made it even sweeter.

They due limit Hotspot data to 5 mbps. Latency is higher than ATT.

My cottage tenant is having success using his in his 4GAS modem for internet. Cottage has better placement for Verizon vs ATT.

Another friend switched his iphone because Version throttling was killing him. Guess it’s working out as he just switched his GF.

Pricing note.
Using the referral code gets 1st month at the $25. Joining a party gets subsequent months at reduced rate. I joined an existing party that reduces to $25. So did my friends.

I’m 74 and have spent some time on both ladders and roof of late. I too have noticed I’m not nearly as confident nor agile. My PV panels need a good power washing, but I’m seriously considering making a platform/cage for my FEL instead.
