The post whore thread.

I've got a 15' and I love it and it gets used the most. However those folding ladders get heavy in a hurry when they start getting longer. I wouldn't have any concerns working on it.

What brand, if you don’t mind me asking.

Mine is a Cosco and someone gave it to me. I think the big name ladders like Little Giant and generally regarded as quality. I've seen the one at Harbor Freight and while I haven't used one, just looking at it doesn't seem like anything is wrong with it.

That is just it, by the time I get into position to scare it off I startle it and it flys away. And no matter how long I wait in concealment or how early I get to concealment it comes back after I give up waiting or won’t come until I get too cold and give waiting for it.

I was thinking about one of these, but then I would have to buy a ladder tall enough to install it near where the pecker is doing the damage.

If I ever want to be rid of my wife, I'll hang one of those over the washer in the basement.

They're calling mates...

Of course. Who wouldn't pick the highest point & loudest instrument to broadcast such an important announcement?

...unless you've been there, you can't imagine the ruckus that makes inside the house.

Damndest thing to figure out when you don't already know WTF it is.

Oh I'm aware.

That's why I'm just tickled it likes this particular neighbor's house. I'd send the bird a muffin basket if I thought it would be encouraging, er um helpful I mean. Yeah, I meant helpful.

Dang if I can't remember the brand I had... PSA if you opt to pick up a used one that's a bit older just make sure it was never part of a recall. Mine was newish at the time but I didn't know about the recall & it nearly killed me.

Broke me proper, so keep that in mind... ; )

What a nice day, picked up a trailer load of lumber early this morning. Tooling up the road, through a traffic circle and i feel this odd wheel hop. Next thing i know, over a loud speaker i hear HEY YOU GOT A FLAT TIRE. Jeep pulled up alongside me to lmk what was happening .


No spare for the new / used trailer. Up to the house and back 1 hr round trip, with tools a spare off the other trailer etc. Floor jack kept for roadside emergencies doesn't work . Pull trucks jack from storage, change out tires. Trailer we used has 14" tires, spare from other trailer, 15" Luckily same bolt pattern.

Casual trip to town and back turns in to 1/2 day ordeal.

The upside is, I Got Wood

I’d bet Mrs. Kazoo is happy to hear that..........

[OtterbatHellcat]

Bummer Kazoo. That stuff is never fun for sure.

[OtterbatHellcat]

IIRC.... measure from the outside of one wheel stud, to the center of the second one over from it, and start carrying a spare.

I didn't really want to blow $130 on a spare, but I did.

Co has 2500 avalanches a year? That seems strikingly high to me, but, if it's on the news...it's gotta be true.
