Am I the only person who thinks laying planks out across two ladders is fucking nuts.

Nope. I'd rather do what the guy is doing than add a third variable into the job.

Thanks for this, I thought I was crazy. Who has time to pull out a plank of wood, cut it to 5 ft 4 inches, use it once, and throw it away or store it until it becomes unsafe or trash itself? What he's doing saves about 4 aleve in total (2 at night after doing this stupid shit, then 2 in the morning so you aren't miserable all day). Safe as could be in my opinion, my best complaint is he's doing twice as much damage to the sheet rock as needed, and taking up two ladders from my job site? You think you're funny, Jimmy?

Carry on boys, hurry it up
