So, I decided to take on the job of cleaning my own gutters. My house being a ranch, I figured I would use my 6 ft ladder. After looking for the ladder, I remembered the guy helping me yesterday was still using it so I didn't have that one. Oh well, I'll just use my considerably cheaper metal step ladder that I have had for years, long before I started my business. Oh, did I forget to mention that this ladder is flimsier and considerably less stable than my other ladder also?

Well, as I was cleaning it, the obvious happened..... Three steps up and the ladder wobbled and tipped, sending me down to the ground, back first.

Lesson learned, just don't go climbing anything thinking it's always going to be safe. Always take precaution and be very careful with every job you do..... especially with climbing a flimsy POS ladder......

Just read your post; thank you for sharing your experience with us. As most of the people are unaware with the consequences so make sure that always having precautions first. as we all know that cleaning gutters is a most hectic task to do while doing home cleaning
