Rant: My 20-foot extension ladder slipped on wet grass this morning and I had to hold on to the gutter for five minutes before I could get down.
It happened because I was rushing to beat the rain and didn't set the feet on my plywood boards, so now I'm looking for a better system for wet yards, maybe those ladder stabilizer spikes?

Ever think about just using a second person to hold the base?

Totally agree with @quinn_nelson. I tried to set up that exact shelf alone last week and it was a disaster. Had to call my roommate in to just stand on the damn thing while I screwed it together. Felt like a real idiot for not just asking for help right away. Some things are clearly meant for two people no matter what the instructions say. Saved me from having a pile of bent metal and a broken wall.
