Spider monkeys are notoriously unreliable. You could use a Colobus monkey since they have a much better work ethic or a Proboscis monkey since they can smell dirt on the glass. But my real vote is for a ninja. They are fast, silent and take payment under the table. If OSHA or IRS agents start asking questions, they will just “disappear”
Perry, this is awesome. I just got a job on a very large home on the water (mansion, actually) that has almost the same depth problem as shown here for big windows above the front entryway. The job starts after our Memorial Day and I was going to need to upgrade my WFP system anyway, and this looks perfect.
You don’t have to pay workman’s comp for a monkey. Plus with a ninja, first time he’s unhappy with his paycheck, you’ll learn a whole new meaning to “disgruntled employee.”
I also wanted to let [MENTION=6944]buzzlightyear[/MENTION] and [MENTION=20262]Bunkerboot83[/MENTION] know that they suck. Because I read this thread this morning, I’ve had Peter Gabriel’s “Shock the monkey” song in my freakin head all freakin day. And that especially sucks because I don’t know the words to that freakin song!!!
Stan- My extension only goes 16’ (I’m new and still using the family CRV to haul my stuff in, so nothing bigger fits). However, I just picked up 30’ of stack ladders that I can transport. I’m going to take it tomorrow to the follow up, and if I can manage to get all 5 pieces assembled (I’ve so far only managed 4), I’m wondering if I can still use the WFP on the ladder. I’m sure that’s not safety approved, and I might not need all 5 pieces to get high enough to make it work, but I guess we’ll know after tomorrow.
I am thinking an extension ladder against the outer flat section of the house, to the right of difficult windows. Go up it until you have a good angle with your WFP.
