I'd like to hear more about your concrete floor in the attic. ;)Adventurer Buck wrote:MaverickBBD wrote:3 of the 4 jacks are solid on the ground.

Can't stabilize if they are not touching the ground.A couple of years ago, I was working on a ladder inside of my attic. In order to reach something, I stood with one foot on the rung and one in the air. I was still supported, but broke my leg anyway, which caused me to fall off and clunk my head on the concrete floor. My head is solid bone all the way through, so no harm there. The leg, however, was mighty inconvenient in a cast for six weeks. I don't know if it would have broken if I had both feet on the ladder.
