Actually, it looks to me like the ladder in the first picture is too short. That is, if it were a little bit longer, it would stretch out fully at that angle rather than hang down like that at the last joint. Either that or you need longer hinges on the trap door--if the door open up a little further you would be able to extend the ladder fully and have it rest on the ground. Right?

Or maybe it's just the angle that make it look that way...

I tried to think of a caption for the glove photo, but because those gloves are ubiquitous in Korea I was unable to think of anything. Are they not common in the States?

Charles,

I think those gloves are available at the local Korean stores. I never, ever see American construction dudes wearing them. Those guys have their own style of work gloves.

donut,

Yeah, Dad's nuts.

The Korean workers were getting into the idea of there being a pojang-macha in the back yard. "You need to put up signs!" they cackled. They're letting me borrow one of their extension cords for the camp kitchen's power supply, and they also gave me one of their "string" utility lights. Imagine a Christmas tree light chain, but instead of a thin cord and tiny little lights, it's a thick utility cord and huge 60-watt bulbs, each in its own black plastic cage to protect it from impact.
