Access denied, with a smile
The water heater was not inspected. It was guarded by a vicious plastic car.

Safety First
Careful Climbing
According to the Home Safety Council, falls are the
leading cause of home injury deaths.
- Always use a sturdy ladder, chairs are too dangerous.
- Place ladder base on even ground using a 4 to 1 ratio -- for every 4 ft. of vertical height, the base should be 1 ft. away from the wall.
- Always face the ladder when climbing and where slip-resistant shoes.
- Keep your body centered on the ladder. If your belt buckle passes beyond the ladder rail, you are reaching too far which can cause a fall.
- Never leave a raised ladder unattended, particularly when children are around.
