LOL that's funny there, she was practicing good ladder safety while you weren't. To clean gutters I'll never leave the ladder and get on the roof. Transitioning from the ladder to the roof is one of the most dangerous parts of using a ladder. And I couldn't work at the edge of the roof cleaning out the gutter. May sound like I'm one of those people scared of heights and ladders but I regularly use an extension ladder in my line of work and I do some things with a ladder that new trainees that roll with me call crazy or insane.

Good ladder safety? Good ladder safety in this case was leaving it where it was so the guy on the roof had a way off the fucking roof. In this particular case the drop off on the back side of the house would either require a 120ft ladder or a safety harness. Since I didn't have a 120 ft ladder I opted for the harness. I cleaned chimneys to pay off my student loans. Heights don't bother me, getting done with a job and being stuck on roof because someone removed my way down does.
