One thing that&#8217;s come up is window cleaning.<\/p>\n<p>\nI recall a window washer used to come here perhaps decades ago. Things were busy then, so I didn&#8217;t pay much attention to how he did it. I would have done well to be more observant.<\/p>\n<p>\nA couple of days ago, up on the ladder, I came to a window that was too wide for me to reach from a central location, and too high on the house to station the ladder above: I would have had to place the ladder against the eavestrough, which would have put me too far away to reach the window. &#8220;How did the window washer reach said window?&#8221; I wondered.<\/p>\n<p>\nI realize he likely used ladder arms, which apparently can span six feet. The window itself is five feet wide.<\/p>\n<p>\nInteresting, eh?\n <\/p>\n<p>\nSource:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canadiantire.ca\/en\/pdp\/mastercraft-extension-ladder-stand-off-arms-stabilizer-2-pk-0611099p.html\">canadiantire.ca<\/a><\/p>\nJack of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oracletutoring.ca\">Oracle Tutoring by Jack and Diane,<\/a> Campbell River, BC.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Self-tutoring about working at height: the tutor mentions some mental reconstruction.
