Hi Rog
        One word of warning while you are trying to get faster and faster is to check and double check that the bottom of your ladder is placed properly. I have had two accidents over the last 19 years and in all honesty both were because i was flying through the work and started to get careless and nothing is more frightening that a sliding ladder :o

Sorry to state the obvious ;)

I don't know about you guy's but as soon as i have my foot on the 2nd rung i bounce a couple of timesjust to see if it's stable, I know this ain't a fail-safe way (as i had the ladder slip back a foot yesterday) but it put's my mind at ease,.............. a bit ??? ::) :D

Thats right.   Its not the ladders that you should be worrying about its the ground that does the damage.

Most times its the ground that causes a fall, not the ladder.

Steve,

Yes I use a ladder mate and reccommend them.

Alls you do is say do that window there and he runs up the ladder and cleans it for you and I find them completey safe lol because I am cleaning the ground floor.

I know which one you mean and I dont know but I have read about them and they seem good
