Ha, ha, ha, exactly what i see. Some do really silly stuff for the coin...better than drugs I guess, but how many have to engage an accident when it happens? As prevoiusly posted "Why?". We are bombarded by scammers daily, trying to trick us out of hard earned resources.

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!

Another ladder safety gem. Captioned as Romania.

I think I would take the lonnnng cut home around the block: certainly wouldn't park neat it.

looks like a stairway to heaven.

Well, the triangulation is good plus under lateral tension; can't vouch for the insulation. Maybe the crew is on break?

The guy raising the window on the ladder should have left well enough alone once it was up. since it is out of frame we don't have anyway of knowing why the window fell other than his jerking the up down control.
You see those ladder lifts used to carry composition roofing up all the time

well it does keep the wires from falling further, who ever put it in place was lucky they were not a path to ground.

Yep. Very lucky. Path to ground or path into ground? I guess that is a "no parking" sign that helps counter balance the wires.ha ha.

Aside=The old days saw timber/wood/lumber ladders as better insulators. I have a "Mote" ladder of my grandfathers: the makers mark has a Brisbane phone number of 4 digits. I remember 6 and 7 and then 8 digit numbers. The mote ladder does have a steel pulley & some bolts.
