    Couldn't put ladder on lower roof?

    No problem for me to skip the $20 sphincter tightening session.

    Double pulls are dangerous, especially on slippery metal. The jump from lower roof to upper was about 20', so I still would have had to use my 24' extension ladder, and that is no joke of a double pull. That also would have required having the adjuster get up there to hold the ladder the whole time, which she offered to do. I wasn't sure where the legs of the ladder would have rested on the lower roof. Ideally it would line up perfectly with a flat spot on the ribbed roof with an exposed bolt to hold each ladder foot, but unlikely it was going to work out that way. Finally, you can see in the picture that the eave on the upper level doesn't end at a solid fascia like normal, but is just bare sheet metal roof for about 12". This was not ideal to be leaning a ladder against and I didn't want to damage it while trying to transition my weight from the ladder to the roof while trying to step far enough back to be on something solid, and not have the ladder kick out from under me. All that said, we explored all the options and the ladder pull from the side was plan B.

    Food wasn't bad. I'd rather eat at Casa Bonita than the Buckhorn Exchange.
