Bad day at work

This is from my home cameras. Excuse the quality I downloaded sd because I'm on my phone.

Dude was hired by the wife to clean the roof, and gutters and pressure wash the house since I've been gone all summer.


This picture is an hour later.

He finally got down at 2:10

That's definitely a bad day.

Wow.
Was it windy out, or just some half assed lazy way to put the ladder up??

the hose he was dragging around knocked it over.

LMAO! 40 years in construction and knew this happens, just never seen it. Hope he had his cell phone.

He must have. His Co worker showed up. I tried calling my daughter to go help but she didn't answer.

Well that sucks

Tie the ladder to something. I always do.

That would be a crappy situation, especially if you didn't have your phone on you.

Always tie off the ladder lol

I had that happen to me. I finally had to sack up and jump, it was only an 8' roof though.

Did he do a good job at least?

Good thing he had a cell phone. Imagine if he was stuck up there and you were away for the summer. Nobody knows he's there. Nobody to hear him yelling for help. Only option.....drop from the roof and pray for the best. That looks like about a 16 ft. drop.

I'll bet he secures the ladder much better in the future. At least I hope so!

No idea. I'm in VA till 3 august

Hope he was not charging by the hour .

The ladder has to extend past the eaves, preferably up to 3'. He's lucky it didn't fall while he was on it.

I broke my wrist a few years ago when I had a wooden ladder staged against a brick wall on a deck. It was too short to reach past the gutters and stopped about 4" below the gutter. I was standing on it cleaning the gutters when it slid back on the deck.

It all happened so fast. I put my left arm out to stop the fall and when I hit the deck realized I ****ed my arm up real bad. Looked at it and it was crooked at the wrist. It was extremely painful and breaking a limb is no joke. Fortunately it was a clean break and the doctor aligned the bones up and my arm is almost 100%. I have full supination. Sometimes it feels like the wrist is in concrete but with regular exercise it stays flexible.

My face was cut also and my left leg hurt like hell the next couple of days and turned blue. There was an outdoor glass table that I barely missed in the fall so it could have been worse.

My roofer showed me his forearm and it is completely crooked after an accident a few years ago. He can still do his job obviously and I did not realize his handicap until he showed me when he stretched both arms out.

Falling off a ladder is a serious situation that can kill you and I hope this guy learned his lesson and gets the right ladder and stages it properly in the future.

Yes good thing!

Reminds me of the movie Frozen where the ski lift operator shuts down the lift without realizing there are three people still on it. Well it gets really cold and they have to get off or else they'll freeze to death. So the guy decides to jump off - it does not end well.

I think I would have jumped and rolled in my younger years. Now I'd be on the phone like him.

I would have dropped and rolled.

When I first hit play I figured you caught some service dude banging your wife lol
