the bottom of the ladder falls off and down to the ground.
It happened again Tuesday, so yesterday Andy anchored the bottom by burying the bottom in the ground:
Notice how much lower the bottom rung is now compared to before.
Fingers crossed it works.

wind and heights and faulty ladders!
not the greatest combination.
our north winds today are Fierce! I can’t imagine what it would be on a roof!
good luck with the solution!!! XO
Andy watches the weather and doesn’t go up when it’s windy. Thank goodness. “Oklahoma, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain.” Stay safe!
Hope it works. Logic says yes, but Mother Nature may have her say in it.
?????
It will be interesting to see. 🙂
great idea, that could be bad if he was alone and no one to put the ladder back. this looks like a great idea to me…
He watches the weather very carefully. 🙂
Oh that would be the pits having the bottom of the ladder blow off while you are up on the roof. Good idea burying the bottom
Fortunately he doesn’t go up when it’s windy.
so the ladder is always in situ OR if it isn’t making some “metal tubes” cemented into the ground so you place the legs in said holes, with possibly the bottom rung cut out…and then maybe a rope tied to another post driven into the ground at whatever is the best angle to hold it against the roof. (of course you’ve already thought of these solutions)
If this doesn’t work he’ll try something fancier.
Fingers crossed, he’ll stay off the roof!
He will do up, but only when it’s safe. He’s still planning to put the Christmas tree on the roof in December.
That is a great idea!
It has a chance of working. 🙂
Super idea! Having had to sit through 14 years of ladder safety training, the possibilities are frightening.
He is very careful, thank goodness.
We sure hope it works well, especially when Andy is at the top of that ladder!!!
Thanks. 🙂
