    This was great until the second end was attached. I attach the second end back to the bottom rung. Otherwise rope piles up at the bottom of the ladder creating a safety hazard. Both ends of the rope should be attached to the same bottom rung.

    I own a step-ladder, I never knew my real ladder.

    A loop at the bottom is a waste of time.. you have to pull the entire length threw it. Just tie a Bowline knot. And attaching the other end is not helpful... You can't use the rope to tie on to the building or skaffold.

    I'm not sure I trust those rope clamps.

    Either your ladder is remarkably light or you are very strong. You raised and moved the ladder with no apparent effort. Is there any reason to not wax the upright rails to help them slide easily.

    Good video! I also use a cable tie on each end so it holds the rope in the middle of the rung. That way the rope can't slide from side to side on the rung and get tangled in your feet. Good job!

    Why do you need those unnecessary clamps for and why you leave that rope to loose when you can leave it as tight you can

    This was a terrific video - clear and easy to follow. I had to replace the rope on my extension ladder, so it was great to have this as a resource. I was able to get all of the material I needed at the hardware store to do the job, and finished the project in less than 15 minutes.

    Thank you. My stock rope snapped other day while extending, was on last rung and it snapped , ladder came down super fast I’m amazed nothing bad actually occurred.

    Followed your suggestions to the letter. Same exact rope/clamps at HD. Now I have a ladder with a great rope that should last for years! Thanks so much!!!

    Thank you!! My rope disintegrated and I needed to route a new one. You covered all aspects of the job clearly, and I appreciate it.

    Excellent video Chris, extremely well presented and I learnt quite a bit from that. For you so simple yet you took time out to help others. Good on you. Thanks a million.

    Thanks, Chris! I was getting set to play Suzy Homemaker when the rope on my 24' extension ladder broke. Project delayed, but not denied. So good to know the fix is both simple and something a non-professional can do!

    Just what I needed, too! Clear. Precise. And, I appreciate knowing WHAT I need before I start! I have an old ladder that I haven't used in over 8 years. It's a good ladder but the rope has rotted. I actually used it for the first time in a long time to clean the gutters this spring! Next project: Paint the house! I need my ladder.

    Thanks for taking the time to make the video. Most helpful I have just bought a secondhand ladder I'm restoring it as it was in poor condition without a rope or pulley at the top and I had no clue as to how to attach the rope. Thanks once again
