How many of you use a five gallon plastic bucket for a ladder?
Me.
I know it's not such a good idea, and I cringe when I see someone
else do it, from being a safety professional and suffering from the
hypervigilance of PTSD. And yet, I just did it, and with little
reservation. I have seen people "walk" these remarkable distances,
and use them quite adroitly. I also have heard tales of woe and steel
pins and screws. And yet, if I need to do something straight up, and
all I need is a foot or two, I grab a bucket, because I can never
find the damn ladder.
Plastic buckets sometimes break when you step on them. I know this.
I've had it happen to me.
But I *still* sometimes grab one when I need to get up about a foot or
so ...
