And boy are these things a bugger to fit - standing on a chair with your
arms at full stretch :-(

One of the most useful tools in my armoury is a small step ladder. Only
two steps plus platform and handrail, but perfect for all those just out
of reach jobs like light bulbs and fittings, curtain rails and just
reaching up. I use it almost daily, and because it is light, I can grab
and carry it with one hand, where I probably wouldn't bother with a
larger ladder. About the size of an ironing board when closed, and kept
with the ironing board. Indispensable. Seriously.

Yes. We keep a similar thing in the utility room.

In the workshop I have a library stool, for those high shelves!
