Hard pass.

Reminded me of when my pup locked the dead bolt on my 3rd floor apartment. put a 20' ladder on the hood of my truck to get on the balcony.
Sometimes it's hard being me! But somebody has to do it.

In my younger days, that would be no problem. I have climbed refinery towers since I was 19. It was fun to take a green hand up a really skinny one and get it swaying several feet. They would either beg you to stop or threaten to beat your a$$ when they got back to the ground.

Few years ago they put a new roof on the 2 story office next door. 2 couldn't have been more 18 year old kids packed all the shingles up by hand. They couldn't have been much more than 5 foot tall and 120 lbs but they threw 2 flats of shingles over a shoulder and started walking up that latter, no hand on the latter. I watched for a few minutes. Them kids were like machines. I watched some hot tar roofers doing it that way years ago. Ladder against the edge of a warehouse, bucket in each hand and up they went. Years ago I worked nights running a press. Had 2 meth heads on my crew. One night it was slow and they decided to replace lights in the ceiling. That company had no man lift so these guys put a 10' ladder on a stack of pallets and up the younger one went via forklift. That stack was like a slinky, back and forth. I couldn't watch anymore for fear I'd have an image in my head for life that was ugly. I went outside for a smoke break. The kid survived and the shop was bright.
