You’ve seen these ‘Little Giants’ on TV — now get one for yourself
Posted on April 24, 2008 - Filed Under Home Improvement
I know you've seen them on television infomercials forever, but have you gotten a "Little Giant" ladder for yourself yet?
After the day I had yesterday, I'm looking into one for myself right now.
We discovered some of the pushier neighborhood birds were trying to nestle down ("nest" being the keyword in this case) in our guttering. We live in a very old house (built in 1904-06, something like that) and we just had a new roof, new guttering, and new siding put on about five years ago. We did NOT want birds or any other critters living in the guttering.
Unfortunately, the old ladder we have is rated at only 200 pounds -- and I'm much closer to 300 (too idle sitting in front of the computer too much of the day); so my good wife climbed the 14-16 feet to the guttering, while I moved the ladder along the house from time to time and held it down.
Nasty business, that gutter cleaning, and it would've been so much easier and safer, plus I would have gone up there instead of my wife, if we'd had something like the Little Giant SkyScraper Ladder, their "big" giant of the system. It would've handled both the height of the climb up to our guttering AND the weight of ye olde climber here. Nice looking system.
Take a good look around the Little Giant website. They have a ton of great ladders and ladder systems for every need you might have around the house or apartment. They have a lot of videos on the site to help you find the perfect ladder for you.
