New record for most dangerous ladder usage - GIF

Looked setup as he looks over the tailgate before full opening but then the final reaction suggests otherwise. must not have considered the curvature of the glass.

I have moved folk for over 40 years but always check for the like. A couple of weeks back, I moved my youngest daughter from a house to an apartment. I told her to watch the height when going into her new underground carpark. She said "it'll be right dad" Panic almost erupted as I approached the garage. I was fully aware of the lack of clearance with her 6 dining chairs on my roofrack but had to scare her for future moves in case I'm not there. Even the box trailer was stacked too high after unloading the roofrack.

Not sure if smart or dangerous. Interesting though.

Gee he could go up another 4 feet.

Probably safer than trying to use a step ladder or even trying to deploy a step ladder in the narrow confines

But not maintaining same voice he used floor level....

Having been a window cleaner in the past, there are times when such a technique is the only workable choice, it’s quite safe if you secure the two ladders together at the bottom and use a plank to stand on. I always carried seven different ladders for different access issues but you gotta do what you gotta do.

I wonder how the top rope is anchored? Probable some guy holding it.
It must have been fun just assembling the ladders.

6 odd stories to clean small bay window no one sees? I think not.
Still figuring out who [how] erect 40 and 60 foot ladders I see on craigslist.
I haven't experienced vertigo or what seems fear of height,including washing bridge windows of an aircraft carrier, underway and certain 25 knot wind. But straight up this contraption?
Could always use excuse I don't like aluminum ladders!

I have a 36 ft extension ladder but the only way I will use it is if I erect my scaffolding and secure it to the scaffold
I need to trim several long limbs on a tree in the front yard not all that tall maybe 35 to 40 feet but the umbrella of the tree is at least 50 to 70 ft in diameter.
Every spring the high winds will rip 1 or 2 large long limbs from it so I want to cut it back significantly but at the same time would like to create a better looking shape.
So thinking about erecting a few sections of my scaffold to do the job ladders in trees while running a chain saw are not in my limited vocabulary
A gondola man lift or a large bucket truck would be nice though.
