It looks like the ladder is resting on them in the pic, is that right?

Like Chris I spoke to a custard ( ;D) where they had a dog doo problem but not half as bad as that, Inever went back, she never rang, I think she was too embarrased.

spikes we use on all surfaces they bite in  and are far less likely to slip 3 sets of ladders on the van 1 with normal feet 1 with tittan large safety feet and one with spikes the one with spikes are the first to be used every time by the lads

I would have asked them to clean up the dog mess. I missed on on friday and went all over my pole hose, I was not best pleased as the customer could see, she did wash it off for me though so will let her off ::)
Think her grandson will be getting a right ear bending when he comes back to her house..

Dragged mine through it Thursday for the first time since I went wfp a few months ago. Thought I could smell something vile when I was reeling in.

Some dog owners really are as disgusting as their pets. Why would you live like that and why would you let an animal that's just been licking its ass lick yours or your kids face and hands?

I've gone right off dogs since we had kids. I'm like a F****** S*** magnet!

Any idea where we can buy these spikes Stephen. I use a telescopic ladder for flat roofs but I have little confidence in the plastic feet. Even tho the ladder legs are round, i'd imagine your spikes would bolt on ok.
