metal support, on stilettos
vampire49
Ah, magnetic levitation ... well done.
Imback42
People place their trust in all sort of stupid things...so why not a shitty alu ladder and a bit of steel nearly close enough. Some skyhooks

“support”
Canigetbannedagain2
Taps ladder... That's not going anywhere.

I was focussing on the ladder, but then I saw it ?
MajikMessiah
I can only imagine that the steel pole was totally rusted out and this was the better option, otherwise why fix both at the same time
languex
Use a step ladder since the biological ladder skipped out!
Jacksmashsteel
Honestly that 7/8 steel rod is stronger than that ladder
Aceman56
Welp... everything thing seems up to code here.

What are you doing, step ladder?

Kind of looks like a jack post which is used to temporarily support stuff like this when you are replacing a support.
StellaMatutina
Don't go above the 2nd to top step, DUH
theMonkeyTrap
more I look worse it gets, basically stepladder's spreaders middle hinge & some ground friction is holding it all. one shake does it in.
TheWonderfulWizardOfOs
What are you doing step-ladder?

His best
oilgod
That's a load-bearing ladder, it'll be fine until it isn't.
beerkrump
What brand of ladder is that?

Because the step ladder with the wooden block on it looks so much safer

Help step ladder I have become unstuck

"What are you doing step ladder?" - "Lifting you up with my massive log, my little baby porch, so his tiny bolt won't bent."
thetonestarr
Actually it does, and that's scary
ToastedEggSandwich
4 points of contact, no problem there!

Many times been across that bridge. They're going to have to replace it, because it's the only good way from one neighborhood to the other.
bannedforbholerequests
I love that this statement applies equally as well to the collapsed bridge as it does to any of the still "good" ones.
ThePowerOfIncredibleViolence
Right? They all need attention.
cow042
Depends. Who lives in that other neighborhood?
GuestChrist
"Other" depends upon which side one is starting from but it zips you across frick park. Forbes Avenue is a major artery in the East.
whoisyourdaddy
They are replacing the corner post. This is a temporary support while they do that.
TheWarHymn
There are jack posts you can get at Home Depot for doing this. Even just a vertical length of 2x4 would be safer than this.
whoisyourdaddy
Don't tell me, tell @OP
Unknownium
The pothole inspector approves this message.

Using the old skyhook method.
neospor1n
Skyhooks are against the rules—speed racer 2008
neospor1n
Wait. I think those were spear hooks
Rogahar
Jesus, you trying to give them a heart attack?
SoraHjort
They've sadly probably seen worse.

If it works, it works
oddmog
It ain't stupid if it works, it's pretty fuckin stupid I gotta say still.
SpaceHaggis
Yep
MajikMessiah
Not OSHA approved but it's better than nothing and looks like they're working on it at the time of the pic
MileHighLivin
You and I had pretty much the same ocular assessment of this picture. Then I noticed the column on the left. I think this is "fixed."
varonicaED
working "under" it is the essential point here, "UNDER"!
YuffieK
It's 'Oh Shit' approved.
ChiliBeef
This deserves more upvotes but, sadly, I can only give one.
KnifeKnut
I'm pretty sure it's a good idea to only work on one post at a time.
animatronicChristmasChickens
It looks like the metal post is permanent and the step ladder is temporary, so they are only working on one
MajikMessiah
I totally agree but based on nothing I imagine the steel pole was completely rusted through. Why else try fix both at the same time
oddmog
I'm way to used to temporary permanent being a thing so that's where my mind goes but if it's not, awesome!
Trelfar
If this was being worked on I would have thought the first order of business would be to take the fucking furniture off the deck.
Thoughttoolongaboutthis
Yeaaaah I doubt anyone wants to go on the deck to remove
SteamingTheCat
Oh lawd, they didn't even take the furniture off
Snooj
I disagree that it's better than nothing because it might give the illusion of safety.
LupusLilium
But this is -totally- safe. One point of contact turned into 4? What could be more sturdier?
ElkThorvald
what gives you the idea its being worked on? I get the idea its a landlord or protentional buyer after an eviction
MajikMessiah
The wood on the corner looks fine the bolts were removed and the ladder isn't at the corner because they're about to replace it
