I hate ladders and generaly avoid them. Usualy I make other people do things that are high.

But part of my job requires going up on them, usualy before the stairs are set in a new house. Two story houses are not to bad, its the three story jobs that get me. We did one last fall that from the top floor to the basement was about a 30ft drop. Before the stairs are set you have a big hole from the top to the bottom, with ladders going from one floor to the next for stairs. The framers are nuts they just string ladders everywhere and walk around like its nothing.

I am very sorry this happened and hope you get well soon.


This is exactly the reason elderly people have to move out of multistory homes and into single stoy dwellings, when they get really old, they can fall down the stairs and get REALLY hurt.

If they live alone, they can't get up sometimes, and lay there for *days* before someone finds them.
