I am not a religous man.....

However there are days when thanking God for getting us all back in one piece has to be done.



The Microlite was snug under the gutter whilst I was working on the gutter.



You can see what happened.

12 inches was all it took. Thank god it stoped on the tarmac or I would have face planted the porch.

Am I shaken up? Hell yes. Am I in one piece? Thank God I am. :sweating:

That's a close call, I've had a few close calls the past few weeks one where I was hanging off a bathroom window sill

Had a ladder slide from under me few weeks back, luckily there was a paving slab which had risen up 6 inches behind the feet and caught the ladder. Smashed my shins which hurt for a week, and needed a change of trousers lol

Was thinking of getting some ladder mats like that aswell. Would you say it was down to the mats or just a freak accident @Green Pro Clean Ltd ?

 

[Adams0211]

I've got those exact mats. I'm not sure what it is about them but I don't trust them. I very rarely use my ladders but would rather turn down a job than take a chance.

When I see stuff like this I think I'll just stick to stuff I can do with my feet on the ground.

Have you not got the ladder m8 yet? I guarantee that slide wouldn't have happened with one under that ladder at that angle @Green Pro Clean Ltd

It was not the mats fault, it was my own stupidity. The rake was too much and I knew the slabs were slimy but complacency got the better of me. 'Ahh I done this 100s of times it will be fine' well, errmmm, no.

I find they are great mats when you use them appropriately.

Yes, it arrived today whilst I was out on the job /emoticons/smile.png)

Exactly where I got mine from.

Emptying gutters??

Roof clean, I was at the clear the gutters stage so yes, emptying the guttering.

I bet you said a few choice words at the time.

Had a telescopic ladder snap on me before painting a hallway in a townhouse luckily i somehow caught the edge of the loft hatch and manage to grab it, still had to fall but it was controlled and a few m2's not all the way down from top floor to ground which it could have been.

Hope your feeling better green, have a rum to settle you.

I said 'If that bas***d @Ben Marriott , hadn't built this machine I wouldn't be up here doing such a fine job!' /emoticons/tongue.png

I have one of those, used it once and it scared the hell out of me.

 

[greenhorn84]

I see a 6m telescopic recently now that would be dangerous, good in theory definitely scary.

Was meant take 22.5 stone it snapped and i'm only 11 stone (eu approx sort too).

 

[greenhorn84]

approved

Very lucky there Mr Green, looking at one of those Ladder M8's myself. Let us all know how ye got on with it as I like the sounds of them!

 

[OutlaneWC]

Ladder spikes all the way

 

[Green Pro Clean Ltd]

Funnily enough I have two of these.



Left both at home like a prize door handle.

Not ideal for quick ladder work but for jobs like a roof clean where the ladder will remain static and be accessed several times these are brilliant.

You can see the skid marks! - I assume you had some too mate!!! I always put my microlight on the tiles as I find they grip a lot better, but you did have some green stuff to deal with - if only you knew someone that could give it a wash [emoji106]
