We really needed a good tall ladder when we first built the house, and one of our local hardware stores had two that could go up to seven metres high! One of them was a wooden one for R$300 and the other an aluminium one for R$600. I really wanted the aluminium one, but I couldn’t explain exactly why so Beth decided on the cheaper wooden one.
But something reminded me why aluminium ones are so much better…. what was it again? Oh that’s right, after Beth got crushed underneath it because it’s so damn heavy that it takes a team of labour workers to move it!
No just joking! Here she is with the pear tree, and they’re both doing really well 🙂
But seriously, the wooden one is so heavy that it really is an accident waiting for a place to happen, so last time we went to Canela we decided to get the aluminium one! We also had to get a roof-rack put on so we could carry it 🙂
