Once I used that ladder for painting my last house(2 story). Did not cause
any trouble. Took ~15 Gal. of paint. I still have the ladder but
house being stucco, now I use it for access to gutter or hanging X-mas
lights, things like that.

No way I'm getting up on an extension ladder for Christmas lights. Put a
candle in the window and done.
