What load capacity should a ladder have for A/Cs?

Good to hear, that ya got er done!!!

Ya, those nylon ropes can be nasty for sure! I know those inch lbs are recommended, but I just like snug um up, for my gauge. You just need to crush the new gasket a bit, maybe 1/3 of the thickness. In time, you may need to snug the bolts a little, as the gasket takes set.

Good on your wife, for giving it a try!! She's a keeper for sure!
