Ladders

David likes to have all the tools he needs to do a job properly. It was okay to stand on chairs when he was doing redecorating but that is no good for major construction. So he decided to build a step ladder and an extension ladder.


First he did the frame and used brads to hold the pieces together so that the ladder could fold up.

Then he put the steps in and glued the two sides together. He also glued all the steps on to a frame for the extension ladder while he was at it.

The basic framework is completed but there still needs to be support pieces and the top piece to give the ladder stability.

David tests the ladder to see if it folds up properly. It will be much easier to store that way. Now they just need to be painted.

The step ladder is now finished and David checks to see if it is good and sturdy. He does not want to have any accidents when he is working.

Julie comes to give him a hand and take the ladders to the job site. Good thing it is nice and light so she can carry it with no problem.

When they get to the job site they see that another helper is already there and is hard at work!!! Don't I have great helpers.
