How many of you use a five gallon plastic bucket for a ladder? 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

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.

Hi,
I have few step ladders around house. I am very safety conscious.
In my active working days, safety engineer could have you fired on the
spot if you did stupid things. There is no such thing as over safety.
