We used to call that - "Primitive Pete" - when I was a kid.

Or, the mother of invention.

Or, the seeds of medical insurance.

Have fun,

Amazing!! And to think that harbor freight sells a pretty decent engine hoist for less than the two ladders cost! But...sometimes you have to go with what you have...well...maybe not.

You guys need to visit the Cocoa area of Florida, and see what some of these 'Necks will do. I saw a dude while out walking the dog, pulling the body off of a p-cup truck with a sling and an oak tree. Don't get any ideas Jon!  ;)  I wished that I had my phone to grab some pix of it. Good for a laugh anyway!

Yeah, but an engine hoist won't get you on a roof....

Plus, you can tie two ladders to get even higher.

I would post a picture but it is not Cadillac or LaSalle related.
