Only if she's menstruating.

I finally have a legitimate reason (IMO) to buy this. Once I can get over how much it costs, I'm going to order one.

EDIT: Actually, I bet I could just make my own out of pvc pipe since it won't have to support my weight, just the weight of a ladder. Hmmmm. Let me get back to you guys.

lol wut?

I already scrapped the idea of paying $40 for a grappling hook. I'll just go spend $2 on an actual hook, as that is all I need. The idea is to have a way to retrieve my ladder if it falls off the roof.

So um, does that happen a lot to you?

[Irving]

Hasn't happened yet, but it's happened to every person I've ever talked to. You get complacent, forget to tie it off to the gutter, or there is a gutter guard or something, and along comes a gust of wind and your ladder is on the ground.

Oh, I'm on a roof pretty much every day now. Up to three a day pretty soon I'm afraid.

Replacing wax ring on a toilet, trying to tackle the transmission back into the Cavalier. Bought a new headlight for Focus. Bought some pipe to make a PVC bow.

Got pics of the bow?

Put span hooks on ladder.

What do you hook to if there is no gutter?

I don't have any pictures of the bow, because it looks like a 5' piece of 3/4" pvc with a string on it. Pretty unassuming.
