OT: Black Friday / Cyber Monday

[Jay-Bone]

Anyone have success yet? I've grabbed some knick-knacks, but not much luck on bigger items. Looking to do online only with delivery, curbside if I have to.

Just bought a house so looking for battery yard equipment, a 22' ladder, a mt bike, toddler toys and a treadmill, amongst other things.

Will Monday be better than today for online? I'm a novice at this, but need to adapt due to the pandemic.

For those of you who have little kids like me. PinwheelsToys out of Glastonbury has a sale going all day. 40% until 10am. Then I think it drops to 30% off.

Good to support a small business.

Not even expecting to try. Not sure I need anything at all. Planning to cut down a Christmas tree. It won’t be on sale.

Ace has a deal on a 20' extension ladder for $100. It's a fiberglass Werner, but it's only rated to 225lbs.

Do people like the straight extension or those Little Giant ladders? I was going to get the Little Giant type (or other brand) but the mother-in-law is trying to talk me out of it.

My wife had one when we got together. I found it to be overly heavy and never really used it. A step ladder for in the house things is easier and it felt not so safe as an extension ladder. It's been setup to go over my fixed backyard fence for 10 years now.

Little Giants are solid and versatile. Especially for outdoor use. You mentioned 22' ladder and I would trust the Little Giant over almost any aluminum or fiberglass ladder.

While they can be used in the house as an A frame ladder they are big and bulky. You can get a lighter, more nimble indoor for $30-$50.

I'm looking for a ladder as well and was planning on going with a 13'-15' Little Giant.

Out of curiosity, why is your MIL trying to talk you out of it?

She says its not as stable. I've used them a while ago and don't recall it being problematic.

I need to reach gutters about 19' high. I also want to use it around other parts of the house as a folded ladder where the gutters are 10'-14' high and I don't want to buy two ladders. I have a 6' step for in the house, but it only reaches the lowest gutters.

Lowe's has the best deal I can find, $70 off down to $130 but delivery is $65. May just go pick it up if they have curbside. Not paying $65 for delivery.

I don't have the name brand of Little Giant, but I have something similar. I have been using for getting onto my roof for years. It's only 17' but I am 300+ pounds and have never had a problem with it not being able to hold my weight.

Just bought an 85" Samsung to watch UCONN games on this season. Got about a $700 discount.

Mine is Gorilla ladder I believe? It is certainly solid, but it weighs a ton. The end result is I use my old wooden step ladder more often.

Your spouse has trained you well.

No where did you say how much it cost. You only stated how much you saved.

Thanks for the ladder advice guys. I have a high ceiling chandelier where half of the bulbs are out since I moved in like 6 years ago.
