How to paint without scaffolding. What Not To Do.

What happens here

Once the ladders are in position, assign three individuals to stabilize the setup. One person (Gamo in the video) should stand on the bottom rungs of the 10-foot A-frame ladder to add weight and prevent it from shifting. A second person (Eric) should stand at the base of the 24-foot extension ladder, holding it firmly from behind to prevent it from sliding backward or toppling. A third person (Matt) should stand to the side of the 24-foot ladder, holding it to counteract any sideways movement. This collective effort is critical for maintaining the stability of the tall, unsupported ladder.

Goal: Ensure the combined ladder system is secure for the painter.

What they say

Hide

a 10-ft ladder with a 24-ft ladder leaning up against the 10-ft ladder. We got Gamo standing on the 10-ft ladder creating weight. We got Eric holding back on the ladder. We got Matt over there just looking at He's holding it from the side. This is how you paint around a suspended light that's way up in the middle of the ceiling if you don't have scaffolding.
