Hello everyone... I live in an older two storey home. I want to
purchase an aluminum ladder so that I will be able to safely clean out
the rain gutters and eavestroughes. Will a 32 foot ladder be suitable
(grade 2)? Your thoughts please. Thank you for your time.

All depends...how far off the ground are the gutters?

What's the terrain, overhead service entrance location, your weight and
condition, etc., etc, etc., ...

Personally, I find it preferable to do gutters by being on the roof
(assuming pitch is such is walkable) rather than having to bump a ladder
around when I've had to do so. If I had a two-story which didn't have
either access from a lower point or walkable roof it would be a major
incentive for gutter guards.

As for the ladder itself, as someone else noted, a 32 footer at
extension of class 2 would be pretty bouncy for a big dude, not so much
for small fella' like me...

Seems like a 32 would be more than needed for a typical 2-story unless
there are either high ceilings, and attic or other reasons it's tall...
