Honey-do season...

Anyone have experience with lift hoists, variously labeled bicycle,
kayak or ladder lift hoists?

I have 4 ladders I'd like to hang from my 10'6" garage ceiling.

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.

A lot of people use 'Bike Lifts', You could use two for larger ladders.
My ceilings are low, so I just press the ladder against the ceiling and
wrap chains around it and hook it up to eyelets on the joists.

Rope and Pulley's also work fine ;D

I just hung my extension ladder from the unfinished garage ceiling
joists. Near (and above) the overhead door, I made a "U" bracket
hanging from a joist. I put one end of the ladder in that bracket,
then manually lift the other end, and secure it to another joist with
a chain.
