I have a very awkward project location above the ceiling
joists (and gas pipe and electrical conduit) in my
garage. I don't get to move the location.

How would you solve this problem?

Theater lighting electricians (Gaffer, Best Boy) had A-frame based extension
ladders.

Could you work off rented scaffolding?

I have extensible feet on my ladder to use it on slopes. The plaque warns
not to extend both at once, and I tie the top end to trees and vehicles to
keep it from falling sideways if the foot fails.
