The new steel ladders turned out better than we anticipated. Here are some more pictures of them. As you can see they go up and over the parapets, and then down to the roof.
After the new ladders were in place, the crew removed the old ladder from the studio. The holes will get patched as part of the renovations currently underway for that building.
All that was left to do was paint them. We called in our trusty painter guy, and he arrived one day and painted both of them.
Finally, the before and after shots. We’re really very happy with the way this project turned out. Not only do we have safer access to the roofs, but the ladders are totally to code. The cages are the biggest improvement though, as now Agent Smith feels a tad more comfortable going up on the roofs. I, on the other hand, am apparently part squirrel (though not like the ground squirrels we are currently plagued by; they’re annoying but good for target practice). I made sure I sent Steve from Swenson these pics as part of a “thank you” email.
