    Hey!  I live in East Lyme.  Any pump jacks, or a roofers/ladder hoist?  What other tools are available?

    Sorry you're hanging it up, hope everything goes well in transition.

      I don't mean to hijack a thread, but I've got an older Reimann-Georger ladder hoist I want to sell. I've had it since it was new, and it's in good shape.

      It's got a 1-1/2HP electric motor, and has extensions to go to 36".

      If you're interested, e-mail me.

      1. theslateman | Jul 10, 2007 12:21pm | #9

        Shep,

        Is this unit still available?

        I'm in Maine so it would have to go by common carrier.

          Walter-

          NickNukem has first dibs at this point. He's in Conn.

          If he doesn't want it, you'll be next in line.

            You were going to check it out.  Does it still get up and go?  Or go and get up?  Bad pun, I know.

            I need to lift materials to a third story deck with no external access, so I'd need every bit of length this thing could reach. 

            Very interested.

            I've got a doctor's appt. tomorow afternoon, so I'll probably check it out after I get home from that.

            I'll get back to you tomorrow eve.

            Doc's no biggie. I had an ingrown toenail cut out a couple of weeks ago. This is just a follow up visit.

          5. Shep | Jul 12, 2007 02:11am | #17

            I checked out the hoist this afternoon. The motor and everything run just fine.

            There are 4 ladder segments- one 16', two 8', and one 4'.

            If you're still interested, I'm still willing to meet in the middle. This weekend is shot, but later next week could work.

    Hey there howsbuilder,

    I'm in Gbury, practically right next door to you! That siding nailer is mighty tempting, I was just looking to buy one this week for a big cedar shingle job coming up. I was planning to buy with plastic though, haha.
