You should normally have three rungs(steps) past the surface you are climbing to from the ladder. They are a foot apart on most ladders so 15 feet would be close. Add a foot since you have to angle the ladder appropriately(scope) so 16 feet or longer is safe. A 20 foot extension ladder would be a good choice.

What food should be cooked at a minimum 165?

Beef must be cooked until the minimum internal temperature is 155 degrees Fahrenheit. Most bacteria is on the surface of the meat, so ground meat has the surface mixed into under the surface. It is especially important to cook ground meat until the internal temperature is 155-160 degrees Fahrenheit, as a result.

Why do you need to find the natural ground level when building?

Here is what the IRC (International Residential Code) says about footings and proper placement. R403.1.4 Minimum depth. All exterior footings shall be placed at least 12 inches (305 mm) below the undisturbed ground surface. The basic reasoning for getting down to natural ground level is to get to get below the level of undisturbed ground surface. This includes the ground surface likely to include roots and other bio materials. Undisturbed ground is more likely to properly support the weights applied from a structure over the long term. Take for instance tree roots
