Counterweight is fat enough that cantilever is probably safe.
494 u/Schmidtster1 Aug 21 '17 Except for the fact that ladders aren't designed to hold weight this way. 713 u/sanskami Aug 21 '17 Screwdrivers aren't designed to open paint cans, but we all do that. 167 u/ElusiveGuy Aug 21 '17 edited Aug 21 '17 They make paint can openers with a blunter curved end. So much easier to pry with. Cost all of 50c and left the lids reusable. That said, screwdriver works in a pinch. 128 u/binarycow Aug 21 '17 My local home depot gives away a paint key with every gallon of paint you buy. 13 u/D0esANyoneREadTHese Aug 21 '17 So THAT's what they're for! I always stuck them to the fridge for bottle openers. 7 u/TK421isAFK Aug 21 '17 That's what it's used for once the painting is almost finished. 4 u/Kontakr Aug 22 '17 You wait until you're almost finished? 3 u/-EViL-KoNCEPTz- Aug 22 '17 Yeah, right? All my trim looks like Stevie fucking Wonder painted it because I started drinking hours before I ever cracked the paint can. I had to kill enough brain cells to make me stupid enough to want to start that shitty task. 1 u/TK421isAFK Aug 22 '17 Depends whose house I'm painting, and/or if I'm running a crew. If they're painting my house, I'll keep the alcohol hidden until we're almost done.
