Step up project

Okay, so a minor blog post, minor project. 

There are a few places on Mahalo where I need a ladder. I found a really nice on at Home Depot, light but really sturdy. I like these ones with the really deep steps. 

Looking around the lazarette I noticed that this corner would be ideal. There is a storage area behind where the ladder is now, but at the moment I just keep the oil diapers in there, so I don't access them often. I did some thinking about how to mount the ladder. I decided I really didn't want to drill any holes in the walls. ​

Then I remembered I had some of these 3M Command hooks. Really cool product. When applied, they have strength in the  direction of the pull. But you can remove them by pushing the opposite direction and they don't leave any mark behind.

I had also bought a supply of shock cord, the bull nose rings and the special pliers to crimp the rings. Make your own shock cord! Good stuff.

I like the ratchet straps, but are they available in stainless steel? I've some of the smaller ones you show that are stainless, but I'd really like some beefier ones!

I think you are commenting on a different blog post, the one on the tender straps. But anyway I looked on Amazon. They don't seem to have stainless. But they do have rubber coated:

I sprayed mine with corrosion inhibitor, we will see how it goes. These are so inexpensive I would care if I had to replace yearly.
