Trust
Several years ago we were taking down the screens from our screened-in sun porch. It was too time consuming to put up a ladder outside. So I suggested to my son, Andrew, that if I were to push a plank out over the edge of the deck, then he could stand out on the end and unscrew the screens. There wouldn't be a problem as long as I stood on the other end of the plank!
Some would call it a Newfoundland scaffold, or a lazy man's scaffold ... or whatever.
In any event it worked just fine ...until I started to laugh and he realized I might fall off my end.
I have been scanning a lot of old pictures lately. This one caught my eye.
Apologies for the quality of the scan.
