This impressive example of the genre was sent to me by my friend Corky in California, though the man on the ladder is painting the church clock in Mussina, South Africa. I hope he completed the job...
You might just think that this is simply a man on a long ladder doing a job that requires two hands?
Further down, he and his ladder are balanced on a cantilever arm created out of planks of wood with a human counterweight sitting on them, while holding the ladder with a rope....
There's more...
Quite an impressively ingenious contraption these two have devised. This is clever enough to warrant the label 'construction.'
Of course the chances of this going wrong are as high as painting the clock face. And how did he actually get up there.
