Great...Too bad, and sorry, that he passed away, but I would like to say that I myself wouldn't have so much of the extension ladder above the roof-line like that, and I only have maybe three or so steps above the roof-line, so I wouldn't tend to go too high and have the ladder kick out on me. I have a 20-foot extension ladder, that I purchased mainly to reach up to the high roof I had on the 2 1/2 floor apartment, 2 1/2 floors above ground that is. Live in a trailer home now, so don't need it.
Amazing person that he accepted you filming him rather than helping him! Hope this man continues to get to do what he loves to do. Wow. regards Charlie.
Sorry to hear that. Good that he was able to keep busy into later life. So many peoples bodies give up on them. My Dad passed away in April. He was 84.
