Extension ladder: Feet on ground with toes touching ladder base and
arms out 90 degrees with palms on rung, should be about the right
angle. Having a 3-story with attic, got to have good ladders.

If you don't need a big ladder, don't take the extension ladder apart and
use it as two ladders. The top section does not have proper feet and can
slip. One of my supervisors did that last year and ruined our perfect
safety record.
