Socially distant

How I spent Easter. Working on my rental. Oh, this guy was across the street. Washing windows. I didn’t want him to fall. Would have been ugly.

Ah hell yeah... Is that a "little giant?"

(subtitled)- "Who's the blond?"

(either way- you win the internet)

That guy should not be allowed to be out in the open on his own!
How has he survived this long?


Wait for it.....

Monkey roll!

He definitely didn't complete high school physics.

Yeah, my thought too regrading the hinges. One hell of a ladder.

If he was a giant giant, he wouldn't need the ladder.

It may be an older version as I don't see the wheels or the outriggers.

He went down the line and washed all the windows the same way. His luck is going to run out at some point.

At least if he would have flipped the ladder over, the failure mode of those hinges would not have resulted in him crashing to the floor.
I did some similar shady stuff last winter on an old little giant ladder . I was crapping myself watching the hinges flex , but they never gave . My fall would have only been 7 or 8 feet though . I would have monkey rolled like a boss , right down the staircase .

Look closely, there are three hinges, one facing one way, two others facing opposite side.
Dangerous, no matter how you turn it.

I think that ledge under each window is what saved him. Without it - no doubt the ladder would just slide down the wall...
