So This Happened Today
-
Was climbing the attic stairs when suddenly the bolts sheared off and it came loose.
-
Time to lose some weight, fatty.
-
-
That could have been bad, hope you are okay.
-
Whoa...that type of bolt shearing happened while on a ladder 25 feet up 14 years ago! We had 2 extension ladders, ladder jacks and 2x12 setup to paint a billboard.
-
Luckily the ladder did not collapse when this happened. So nothing horrific resulted. Now we just need to replace the ladder.
-
How old is the ladder?

I'm sure that it is the original with the house. Over 20 years old. But bolts should not age in that way
