I would be hanging on rather than doing anything.

Ideally I would like to get the work done this summer although could
probably wait til next year.

Anyone else got this `fear` of height/ladders and how did you
overcome it. I just done feel safe or comfortable 20 feet up. Is
there a better type ladder I could use thinking it may be cheaper to
buy something, use it, then sell on ebay.

Once you have got a good ladder you will want to keep it.

I never really overcame my fear of hights, I am however a lot more confident
than I used to be. Maybe just practice did it for me. Although I still
cannot work out how some people are able to just walk off a ladder onto a
roof and make it look as easy as walking through a door.
