The next big thing in home improvement


Everyone has a home improvement disaster story. Most of them, it seems, come from a lack of the proper equipment, lack of experience, or a miserable combination of the two. Well some of the most miserable home-improvement disasters I can think of involve some kind of "ladder-like" implement. Most of these pitiful excuses-for-ladders are hand-me-down tools with one wooden leg. Some of the most important tools in home improvement are often some of the most neglected.

From personal experience, I seem to use ladders more than the average person. In fact last week, I was using an extension ladder to fix some wind damage on my roof. Now this piece of equipment I was using to get onto my roof, maybe 20 feet, became nothing short of a near-death experience. This ladder has got to be as close or older than me. But its not the ladders age that frightens me. Its the ladders experience that makes me worry. See, our ladder spends most of its days out in the elements. It spends most of its days banished to a corner of my backyard - grouped with the firewood. The only reason the ladder doesnt get garage space is because the garage is for privileged power tools and yard-care equipment.

The ladder, I fear, may someday exact its revenge on me or some other unsuspecting home improver by deciding it doesnt want to support my weekend home-improvement endeavors. This failure will come at the worst possible time - a bit of Murphys Law. I can see myself at the top rung of the ladder, about ready to step onto my roof, when the ladder will undergo structural failure. No replays of Clark Griswold for me, so I decided to get a new ladder.

In my search for a new elevation-aiding apparatus, I came across one of the coolest new ever in the history of ladder-dom. This thing is money in nearly any situation - a primetime player in the ladder world. Not only is this thing light, its safe. No more worrying about the thing collapsing on me. The ladder is also more than just an extension ladder or an a-frame. It can be a scaffold too. I can use it to paint my house or redo some of the aluminum siding on the eaves of my house. This discovery, Im talking about is the Little Giant Ladder.

This ladder has been the answer I have been looking for. It works on uneven surfaces like stairs safer than any other ladder on the market. Once Im done with my work the ladder stores more compact than my archaic extension ladder. It feels like I bought about four different ladders. If its out of my reach, its just right for my Little Giant Ladder System.
