Nice! I work for a place that prints banners, I can only imagine how most of them are put up for display...

I spy a baby cummins as well...

I saw an antenna being fitted at the top of a tower using two extension ladders cable tied together and sitting in the bucket of a FEL, the installer was at the top of the ladders as the lot slid up the mast, the installation went without incident..... somehow.

Glad you mentioned he was hanging a banner. Thought the fellow was doing what I had considered. The bulb in my yard light burned out. This is EXACTLY how I was going to change it. Ladder bottom in the bucket - top of ladder sliding up the power pole.

Then I reconsidered - that's an awful long fall for me. Called the power company. Next time they were out this way with one of their "extend-a-bucket" trucks - they changed it for me.

Knowing my grace & agility - probably save me from nasty fall. Lots of broken stuff.

Good second thought, and we thank you. Your posts would have been missed.

What is the hangup with doing that? How many times has anyone seen a loader fail and fall??? Statistically it is as safe or safer than being on a ladder on uneven ground.

I can see if one does not trust his own abilities, but otherwise not a problem. Someone here on TBN has a thread talking about americans getting soft. I'll bet that guy would do this!!

to each their own...personally id trust my 28' extension ladder before i trust someone operating a tractor while i was up there........

Those thoughts entered my mind also - grsthegreat. Glad I waited for the power company.

This kind of brings up an interesting point. Now you have to use a multitude of fasteners and bracing to hold your house up apparently. When is the last time anyone has seen a house just fall over?
