I've been on ladders a lot in the last 3 weeks - painting my shop and the ceiling of our new 24 x 34 shed, and also clearing overhanging limbs on our long driveway. I found that operating out of the bed of our dump truck shortens the amount of ladder needed. I'm a few years older than Steve and I'm super cautious on ladders. If they don't feel stable on the first or second step, I dismount and make a better position..
