My helper was in the back rinsing and I needed water fast so I scrambled for a hose in the front of the house until I...

I found the following in an Amazon review.  If the glasses fog, we tend not to use them:"You can make ANY goggles virtually "fog free" (under most conditions) by marking them with plain bar-soap. Simply make a few swipes on the inside of the goggles with a plain white soap bar, then wip...

My technicians use a 32ft fiberglass ladder, it is quite the behemoth when  fully extended. I was thinking about tying a rope to the top of the ladder so they can use some leverage to guide it, when placing it against the house, and taking it away from the house.   Any suggestions or do I need to tell my guys...

No New Posts Avoid ladder accidents ... (Preview)
The video is painful to watch, and the fall was so avoidable. The ladder doesn't fail, the user misses a step.  You will miss a step.  Plan on it. Use 3-Point Contact and no standing on top 3 rungs of straight or extension ladder. This guy fails both.  You can see it coming: http://www.youtube.com/wat...
