Default Scaffolds, ladders, painting a tall foyer

I am scheduled to begin painting a foyer. It is 18' tall. It is a narrow
room. On one side there is a stairway going up to the second floor. On

the
wall without the stairway, I can use two sets of scaffolds (stacked) and

get
access. On the stairway side, I am still trying to figure out something.

I
have extension ladders, tall ladders, scaffolds (the skinny bakers racks

and
the standard sizes) a folding ladder that you see advertised on tv. But

I'm
stumped on the stairway wall. Any ideas appreciated.
Thanks.

Broom handle on a roller ?


Don't go so cheap! Buy a decent (read; professional) roller extension. I
have three of 'em, 18"-3', 3-6', and 5-10'. A busted brrom handle in the
middle of a job sucks! It's also easier to paint with en extension (two
hands at waste/chest level is much easier than one overhead).
