Many years ago was working for my best bud at that time in his drywall finishing co.
He’s 5’ 9” or so.
High ceiling foyer w a staircase to the left. Two pieces of drywall to cover the lid on the sloped foyer. Roughly 25-30 ft at the peak. Maybe 16-18 ‘ or so at the seam. Too cheap to rent scaffolding so he props up a ladder against the far wall & spans the opening by placing a 2x10 from the stairs to the ladder
Still can’t reach the seam.
So he takes a milk crate turns it upside down where each edge is over the 2x10
Proceeds to put on stilts, walks out on the plank & steps up on the milk crate, so he can float the seam w a 12” knife.
Strangely enough he’s still alive to this day. 🤷🏻♂️
We pulled some other crazy stunts together, but you couldn’t have got me to walk that plank on stilts for love nor money. I can still recall the spring in that 2x10 as he walked out on it. Sheesh
