...quietly makes a note to not screw w/ Lamb again.

I thought to myself: "Self, I thought it was sheep that Chad was screwing with?"

Then I realized that a lamb is just a sheep in baby clothes.

Then I realized he was actually talking about Mike Lamb, the cartoonist.

Then I realized that "Sheila" is an Aussie slang term for the American "Nancy".

Then I realized it's time to go do an inspection.

Bah - Bah, see y'all later.

Kind of a basic tip, I'm sure as I seem to carry and erect the ladder as described.

I also carry one of those 3' round metal form stakes and tap it in at the base of the ladder when setting it up on a soil surface to keep the ladder from sliding/walking out behind me.

When I erect the ladder from a deck, I'll screw down a 2x4 block behind the ladder to keep it from slipping back as well.

I realize these are really basic tips, but as most of us that incur a serious injury will likely do so by way of a ladder or roof, you cant be too careful.

I also may order "this" http://www.eye-stick.com/index.htm when I'm done posting...

A local inspector I knew was seriously injured via a ladder earlier this year, none of us are "superman"
