while I was in the Gulf last time round I was building ladders for people who had top bunks in there rooms but no way to get up to them... I would go to the Trash Pile and pull apart what material I needed and then we always travel with some tools.. I gathered up what tools were available and built these for folks... I made 4 of them before some of the other guys started b!&ching about who was getting there's first...
I handed the tools off to them and said have at it....
I found something else to occupie my time after that...
