chasinghosts : Your talking about outside lights ?? If so I wouldn't go up any ladder . Our neighbor I think it was in 2014 he fell off the ladder on his head on the concrete below . When I saw the ambulance lights & saw him on the concrete my first thought was a heart attack . It was night & I hadn't noticed that the ladder was even there .
@bbk : Thanks for your concern, I'm on a ladder all the time doing something. As long as I feel good I'm ok, I only have an 8 footer and a very small homefront. I just do the front, the bushes and the lower branches of my Live Oak. Then it will be on to the tree going up and a ton of indoor decorations. Fun fun fun and then it will all come down in March. What the guys don't understand is we have to free up our time for the cooking and baking that brings them the joy. This is my favorite part though.
