Aluminum Ladders and Legs

Kinda hard to see, looking down at my right leg (which looks much better in person, I assure you), but can you see the blackish smudges running horizontally on my shin?

Those are due to leaning against my aluminum extension ladder. Aluminum will leave marks like this on your skin, your clothes, and even on the client’s paint or walls. My 5′ ladder and my 6′ ladder have both been KILZ’ed (sealed with primer), but I haven’t used the extension ladder enough to have treated it yet.

You can bet it got KILZ’ed today!

The second photo shows how a towel can help protect the wall and woodwork from the ladder.
