Ladders for tree work

sorry, yes I meant for tree work. A friend lent me one a few months ago when I was decorating the house...for that it came in handy. I didn't strop myself to the wall while I was painting though, is this acceptable?

 

Ironically enough, I just saw a thread on the Brushtalk website where a proper professional decorator was slagging off a home owner who was using unsafe ladder methods to take work away from him. :biggrin:

So you're too poor to buy a MEWP, too unprofessional to hire one. What you can do if you can park under the branches and have an open top tipper back is somehow secure the base of ladder to tipper floor (working on it) then ratchet strap ladde with it leaning to top of tipper frame (or possibly top of trailer ladder rack) extend ladder full 27ft and climb ladder into thin air without it supported at top. Disaster waiting to happen, or may just help clearing out around bt lines. If no one was watching could even lanyard in at the top and use a polesaw two handed.
