Looks safer than some of the stuff I have done.

 

[M-MAN]

I've done much worse.

 

[Geo-TH,In]

Not me, Barney would call that a death ladder.

 

[chuck machinist]

Thanks for keeping us safe! CM You can't fix stupid

 

[gordy8n]

But is he getting overtime pay for this job or did he get an early start ?

 

[mjbrown]

Straps will probably hold. I'm not as sure about the railing.

 

[Steve@Advance]

Looks better than the alternative, a stack of tables and chairs!

I would trust it.

 

[Hoofer B]

He probably has a mattress on the floor in case he falls. You can never be too safe. Bill

The clock on the wall sayes it second shift

 

[Richard G.]

That looks just like a friends house and how he explained to me how he put that fan in.
Even looks like him.

Having been in construction for years, you should have seen some of the stuff I saw, and heard about!

I have some high ceilings in my house with lighting in them, seeing that gives me a idea! LOL.

 

[muleman51]

What's wrong with that, correct angle, tied off twice even, but not real sure of the railing. That's why I will never have a high ceiling.

 

[rrman61]

What about the bottom of the legs arent against something solid..

 

[mjbrown]

If our intrepid electrician weighs 200lbs. what would the pull on the top straps to the railing be if the lower strap wasn't there? We can assume he ran these calculations prior to attempting this and decided to add the lower strap as a margin for safety.

After I did something like that with a truck bed , a ladder and a pole saw - my wife gave in and agreed we should buy the boom lift.

 

[ss55]

The survivors can brag.

 

[IaLeo]

Do your stress analysis...supposing he weights 200 lbs, the triangle calc. would look like 50lbs more or less and that railing should be able to hold that horizontal force if he isn't jerking around. Of course it the ladder twists......who takes these pictures anyway? lol Leo

I was up that high once in someone's house on a ladder but it was against a wall. Then I feel the ladder bottom sliding but it only went about 8' until it hit the opposite wall. I finally had to get someone to stand on the bottom of the ladder chocking it. Still had to tape a paint brush to a broom handle to finish painting the ceiling.
