Stepladders are ladders with wide steps that are specifically designed to provide foot comfort while climbing or standing. Stepladders are mostly used for painting, repairs, industrial work and household jobs. They come in an A-shape model with either one side having steps or both sides having steps. They are made from steel, wood, aluminum or fiberglass. The steps are lined with corrugated rubber or have slip-resistant texture. Generally, the depth of steps ranges from 3 inches to 10 inches. If the steps fold up, it becomes compact to store the ladder. The foot of the ladder should have slip-resistant molded footpads or rubber cups for better grip. Usually step ladders range from 18 inches to 20...

An attic ladder is a set of folding steps that can be accessed easily, and folded up when not in use. For homes, garages and warehouses, it is preferred to use this ladder rather than a staircase since it frees up ground space when not in use. Attic ladders are used for entering an overhead area of storage, called an attic. To open an attic ladder that is folded up, a pull cord or a ring is provided for pulling it down. Once opened, the ladder should touch the ground at an angle so that it is easy to climb up. It is better if attic ladders are fitted with 3 to 5 inches rungs that should be slip resistant.An attic ladder is a set of folding steps that can be accessed easily, and folded up when not in...

Money IS green! And here all these years I thought "money", for Americans, only consisted of paper "fiat" script. Or printed wastepaper, if you prefer.Money, that is REAL money, was invented by a guy named Penny, in England. This is our more modern variety. There has existed money in the form of coins or medallions for almost all of human history. But the small lowly Penny, is for us "poor folk". I use the parenthesis due to the abstract thought of the image for "penny" is not the same as that used by Mr. Penny way back when. You see, in his days, a penny was indeed worth that much. But times, they are a changing?Gold and the more popular, silver, has existed beyond memory. If any intellectuals...

On the other hand, the same skater should not compromise comfort and safety merely to save a few dollars. One could easily find a suitable pair of hockey skates from a major manufacturer without spending a lot of money and...

Like anything else, the best way to care for your boat is to take preventative measures. Don't wait until you can barely see your boat under all of the grime that has built up, to decide it needs a good cleaning. Wouldn't you rather spend the nice summer day enjoying your boat instead of cleaning it? Let's start topside: Because the surface of the boat is a gelcoat, it makes regular cleaning easy. This gelcoat can be cleaned with a mild or boat soap, and then rinsed thoroughly with fresh water to prevent build up of soap scum or water spots. Start at the bow and work your way back because boats drain from bow to stern. You can apply a coat of automotive or boat wax twice a year to maintain a...
