Wayne-- The insurance adjuster carried one of the telescopic ladders in the back of his SUV when he came and did the adjusting on the damage to the stick from the last week in June storm! I asked him about it and he said he would not be without it! He telescoped it out and it locked into place for each rung! He said his was rated at 350 lbs., I think! He got it on line from a tool site. If I get one, I'm with you, I'll get the telescopic one! Until then I'll just climb up on top of the Monte and view the world from there!
I have a telescoping mop to wash the Monte so don't need the ladder for that! Think if I need one I'll barrow one until I REALLY see a real need for one!
