๐Ÿชœ IS THIS YOUR LADDER?! ๐Ÿชœ

We know "Public Health" is supposed to help you reach your goals, but this is taking things a bit too literally!

Found this absolute unitโ€”just chilling by our shed in front of our building last Friday. It's looking for its owner, or perhaps a career change that doesn't involve leaning against our walls.

Is this yours?
โ€ข Specs: Long, silver, and clearly has high aspirations.
โ€ข Current Mood: Feeling a bit "extended" and lonely.
โ€ข Reward: The satisfaction of not having to buy a new one (and our eternal gratitude for clearing the walkway).

If youโ€™re missing your favorite climbing partner, come claim it! Otherwise, we might start using it to clean our gutters ... and nobody wants that..

Give us a call at 719-743-2526 to claim
