Multiple Working Positions
The only ladder you may ever need, each MT Series ladder is incredibly versatile and can be easily converted to a stepladder, stairway stepladder, twin stepladder, extension ladder, or two scaffold bases to be used with a plank (plank not included).The MT Series is available in four models--MT-13, MT-17, MT-22, and MT-26--allowing the choice of the perfect size for individual applications. Twin Stepladder Position Supports 300 Pounds Per Side
When set up as a stepladder, the Werner MT Series has a load capacity of 300 pounds per side, including person and materials. Easy Conversions and Height Adjustments
Each ladder's inner section allows it to be folded into three set positions: extension ladder, twin stepladder, and storage. Each of these configurations is made possible by using the push-knob locking hinges located on the sides of the ladder. Height adjustments are also a snap thanks to the spring loaded J-locks. Simply disengage the J-locks on either side, telescope the section out to the desired length (in one-foot increments), and then reengage the J-hooks. Durable and Safe
MT Series Telescoping Multiladders are just as durable as they are versatile. Double-riveted steps provide long-lasting durability, and an extra wide flared bottom provides firm support. What's more, smooth curved side rails provide comfort and safe climbing, while heavy duty non-marring feet provide slip resistance. About Werner: The Pros' Choice

 Cool ladder July 26, 2010
Jens Mueller (Charlotte, NC)
I needed a tall step-ladder to reach the ceiling in my garage (13 feet tall) and ordered this ladder from Amazon. Lowes actually had the same ladder for the same price, but with Amazon I got the ladder dropped off on my front porch within 2 days of ordering (thanks, Amazon Prime).
I used the ladder this weekend to remove old light fixtures from the garage ceiling and install new ones. The ladder was supper stable even with it fully extended. It is a bit heavy to lug around, but it will come in handy for some projects around the house. Too bad it's not made in the US, though, but I guess you can't argue with that for the price.
 Pretty versatile, but it's not 17 feet July 25, 2010

This ladder is mostly what it's supposed to be. The mt-17 is sturdy and stable. It's an okay extension ladder, though a bit unwieldy. It's a pretty good step ladder. Changing positions is simple and smooth.
But it's not a 17 foot ladder. When fully extended the top rung is 14 feet up with the stringers reaching 15 feet. If you need a 17 foot ladder, this ain't it. You can probably guess that in the A-frame position the top rung is only 6 feet and some change from the floor.
If you want just one ladder that's a jack-of-all-trades then this probably fits the bill.
Werner MT-22 Review July 25, 2010
rca131
Great product. Easy to use. I have already used it for multiple projects!
Just what I needed in a ladder July 15, 2010
Wayne (Salem, Portland, Hillsboro, OR.)
I've needed a ladder that was taller than my 6' step ladder for a long time, but I've been reluctant to spend the money. I've looked at the Werner MT-17 before and almost bought one at Lowes a few weeks before starting my shed building project a few weeks ago. Now I'm glad I waited because I was in Home Depot yesterday and found this MT-17 ladder on sale for $89.99! I bought it on the spot and got a 10% veteran's discount to boot. As far as the ladder goes, it works just like I thought it would. I've read some reviews complaining about the flex when climbing it in extension ladder form. There is some flex, but that's to be expected and it's not a huge ammount. They design the aluminum extrusions of this ladder to far exceed the ANSI ratings, and aluminum (when designed properly) has huge room for flexing before it fails. That's why it's such a great material for airplane wings. If they didn't flex a whole lot, they would break off.
Over all, I'm happy with the ladder, and very happy with the $80 deal that I got from Home Depot.
 Very Heavy! July 2, 2010
G. Habbart (Pennsylvania)
I am surprised that this ladder has such good reviews. It is a very stable ladder that makes you feel safe when you climb it, but the weight of the ladder makes it difficult to maneuver. I think it would be extremely difficult for most elderly or women to use this ladder. I can barely stand to carry it myself!

We love our favorite plumber but only when we really need to call them. Garbage disposals are the kitchen's workhorse but love to quit at the most inopportune times and many times you can repair or replace the disposal yourself.
Hands down, my most popular tutorial is on repairing your garbage disposal. Repairing them can be surprisingly easy and you can do it. I'll show you how make the repairs you need quickly and possibly save $180 or more in a plumbing service call. In this tutorial, I'll walk you through the most common garbage disposal repairs and also tell you how to avoid clogs and slow draining situations.
And get familiar with how the garbage disposal is constructed with Anatomy of a Garbage Disposal for a graphic overview of the disposal's components. And if it's your sink that's causing trouble, see Unclogging a Sink. Lose the Plumber.

Marlingardener is experiencing a mixed blessing: "My good neighbor gave us a handful of multiplying onions, which I planted and ended up with about a peck basket full. I consider myself a good cook, innovative and creative, but I have no idea what to do with these things.
Please, can someone give me an idea of how to use them, a recipe or two or more, preferably more? The alternative is to set up a target and see who can throw the onions and hit the bull's eye. The prize will be a handful of multiplying onions to plant."
I have to confess, I picked this for Question of the Week because I too have a heapin' helping of shallots in my garden. So help us out here, ">what's you favorite way to use shallots?
And if you don't know what multiplier onions are or how to grow shallots, stay tuned; they are going to be the Featured Plant, on Friday.

"Your garden is hardier than you think and there are plenty of gardening tasks for August that will keep your flower and vegetable gardens going longer, as well as opportunities to get a head start on next year's garden plans," says Marie Iannotti. As incredible as it may sound, your August yard to-do list, depending on where you live, may include ordering spring bulbs!
I have to admit that I find Marie's August yard to-do list a bit inconvenient. August is the last hurrah for summer in my region, meaning I want to spend as much time at the beach as possible. Soon enough, autumn will be here and I'll be raking leaves!

If you answered: a kitchen which is ten feet by ten feet, or 100 square feet, you're only halfway there.
The term 10' x 10' kitchen is often used as a convenient yardstick by cabinet manufacturers to symbolize a certain quantity, sizing, and even quality of kitchen cabinets. Even though few houses really have 100 square foot kitchens anymore, this 10' x 10' kitchen cabinetry can be applied to bigger floor plans, if desired.
Most notably, this could represent an L-shaped floor plan of 200 square feet, with the 10' x 10' kitchen on one half of the 200 sq. feet and a kitchen table occupying the other half.
It can also be broken up into kitchens of the same size, but different layouts: galley or corridor-style, or a one-wall layout.
Finally, the 10' x 10' kitchen does tend to represent a kind of contractor-grade set of cabinetry. For the quoted price--and from what I've seen, they tend to hover around the $4,500 to $7,500 range--you get about 11 or 12 cabinets.
