it is honestly one of the most rational fears anyone can (and should have) with DIY stuff (same at worksites). Stats for falls (especially at that age) from that height are shocking.

Yeah, my partner gently teases me about it.

I'm generally okay with heights. Like, I can be out on the balcony of a 20th story building, no worries.

But. There's no way you'll find me above the second- or third-top rung of a ladder.

(There's only one handywoman in our house, and it's definitely not me 😆).
