Ladders

I saw a guy on an extension ladder yesterday, but he had the ladder backwards.
The correct way that an extension ladder goes against a wall is with the upper part of the extension on top of the lower part. Also the rungs are designed to allow comfortable foot placement because they are flat on top when the ladder is in this position.

Question of mold.

Here in Kamloops BC, mold is not as big an issue as in Vancouver or other high humidity area's.
For mold to appear and become a problem you need the area to stay damp and have little ventilation.
Just because you have a plumbing or roofing leak , does not mean you will be attacked by black mold.
So the remedies are, stop the source of moisture, dry the area with a fan , wash the surface if any effluesence or surface mold appears. Then when it is completely dry....... reseal and paint it.

Chipping paint

Although we do our best to sand and prepare our surfaces before we paint, they still can chip off with rough use. The only remedy for this is to sand the offending area's again and touch them up. Usually followed by a coat over the whole area so it blends in.
