I guess those ladder screws must be in pretty good as I've never heard of them tearing loose while someone was on them.Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16523089898331291694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-39762077159923351482011-04-17T10:01:00.704-05:002011-04-17T10:01:00.704-05:00Rod please don't go up on the roof again witho...Rod please don't go up on the roof again without someone with you. I don't want to read that you fell off. I hope all is going well with you two and I think about you guys often.

As for the transition I can't ever do it except on my hands and knees and always have more trouble getting on the darn thing when descending than getting off at the top. So maybe that diabetes doesn't handicap you anymore than my clumsiness.JBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016073653349776611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192913928006796095.post-7320483470185720932011-04-17T05:54:07.915-05:002011-04-17T05:54:07.915-05:00Transitioning to & from the ladder on a rig to...Transitioning to & from the ladder on a rig to the roof I figure is the hardest part. Like you, it's a hands & knees deal at that point. No other way I can see to do that. However, going up & down that ladder, I am reminded of my weight every time. Biggest fear is the ladder screws pulling out of the Motor Home!!Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.com
