These things are driving me mad!

But don’t worry, I’m not one of these folks. I won’t be bringing a gun to work and playing shoots and ladders.

Seriously though, you see these type off roof access ladders frequently enough, but never really think about how many pieces have to be made and how accurate the fit has to be and all the building codes that cover their construction. At least not until you make a half dozen of them, each one different from the next.

The far one is waiting for the diamond tread plate, the near one on the left is done but for the finish grinding and the near right one has only about a quarter of the way done.

    Those ladders must be under twenty feet or there would be a safety cage too.
    Many, many more pieces with a cage.

    “each one different from the next”

    So detailed bureaucratic-engenderd requirements also requires the much-desired diversity?
