i see 1 lad every few  weeks using a pole off a ladder , he only as 2 windows at around 30 ft and his pole is only 21 ft with 24 ft reach so he makes the extra up with his ladder .

I need to stand on a stepladder for the elevation on a few jobs to bridge over flat roofs.  Used to have to get the ladder off for them before the SLX.

I never said I was a good workman though Malc  ;D It was still a bit of a stretch reaching that 3 rd floor window even standing on the roof of my escort van, but i was just starting out, needless to say I've invested since and now have a bigger van  ;D

I use my van door ladder for climbing onto flat roofs if I can park close enough to jump across from crawling board on the roof of my van ;D
