This doesn’t belong here; it’s too well done. They may have used ladders unconventionally, but they did take care to keep things as safe as they could.
@Becca: Indeed it’s as safe as they could do. For example, they could have put the ladders on fire, but they didn’t. Or they could have poured acid over the ladders, but they didn’t. They considered getting twenty ferocious dogs to stand around the ladders, ready to bite, but they only got one. With very long legs indeed.
I dunno, in #1 there’s just not enough duct tape for me. I run up of 280 and it would take SEVERAL layers before I’d climb that. #2, it would just take a lot of alcohol to get me up that, but then I’d be right back down. Of course I wouldn’t care, at least not that day (yes, I’ve fallen off the roof before).
This reminds me of the scaffolding my father built. I figured it was his way of testing my boyfriends–you survive the scaffolding, you can date my daughter.
Third!
When you can’t climb the economic ladder and have your house fixed right, your kludge it your-self!
I am having flashbacks of Lode Runner with that second photo.
No wonder so many people are killed by ladder falls each year.

Id say they are and with shackles and large zip-ties anythings possible.
In the bottom picture what’s the point of all that? Just duct tape the bottom rung of the ladder to the lower roof – done.
@Daniel
+1 I was thinking the exact same thing
i bet this picture ended with “honey just grab me another beer ill be fine…”
That black dog in pix #1 has some seriously long legs.

the bottom one i pure genius
My sphincter tightened at the sight of the latter ladder setup.

@dono1
Or two more ladders and a roll of duct tape. (good to have you back)
I think you guys missed the point. In the top photo, the ladders are actually mating.
The second one is rather terrifying. And quite possibly gravity-defying too. How is that staying up, anyway?
@ Jess I suspect black magic.
@jess – Lots of happy thoughts.
@dono, – missed you man, just not the same without you. I can write you a doctor’s note if you need one.
@Daniel & Badgirl
You’re too kind. Thanks for filling in for me.
picture #2- I’ve done that, man. Was drinkin’ too. Wow- wicked scary…
Did anybody else read “Erector Pieces” as “Erect Penises”?
well why do they call them “Extenion ladders” afterall… there is an endless way to use duct tape.. we call it Wisconsin steel at my house
You know that some man is saying ” Ok honey I have it all ready go for it”
This looks like Donkey Kong.
It’s an Escher. Or perhaps the long-legged dog did it.
Scaffolding? we don’t need no steenkin scaffolding!

big-kid-big-toys win.
just like snakes and ladders, only without snakes
Now all that’s missing is Mario and a giant ape hurling down barrels…
wow, i fell down just looking at that
The real question is, “Where’s he going?”
