Just curious as to what you guys are paying for your ladders? Black tip Werners more specifically.

At what heights do you feel comfortable using a lesser than black tip ladder (blue/green)?

I haven't bought ladders in while but my 16's & 24's are blue tips and have no problem on them. My black tips are 28's and my 32.

It looks like I will need to track down a 60' ladder again for an upcoming new home. Narrow lot so I cannot get a lift to the back of the home, hills on sides and behind home. The home is on a lake.

Can't you use scaffold?

I wouldn't even think about using a 60 foot ladder. Are they even made that big anymore?

They're still around. I hate when I need to use them. Especially when you have trees above.

I used a 60' aluminum last summer. The back side sloped like a double black diamond and the new top soil was too soft for a lift. It took four guys to move the thing. But once it was up, it was almost too easy to extend and retract. It had three flies and was as wide as a staircase. I rented it, but I would love to have one. Good luck and be careful not to fall in the Monongahela (I have no clue how to spell that.)

The third section does lift easily with the pully set up. But, man are those things heavy. When I used one before, my boss stood at the foot so the bottom would not kick out and I got to push it up by myself. It took every bit of muscle I had to push that thing vertical until it reach the point that he could help by pulling on the rope. Then I got to move it back and forth on the peak by myself.

I lost a good black tip 6' step awhile back. Cost me 68 dollars to replace. As far as lesser ladders i use a 16 that is not rated high enough. All my heavier longer laders 20-40 are all heavy duty. I hope i have no use for the 40' this year.
Dean have fun with that 60', sucks that you can't use a lift.

Down side is, I do not think anyplace will rent them now. I heard that OHSA said no more to using 60's. Someone had been trying to sell one at my paint store for the past 2 years for 1,200.00 but the add is gone now.

Ya'll can have the 60' ladder jobs. I'll be painting the ranch house around the corner.
