   Apologies didn't see this for a while.  Been busy on the fence and   
   pointing the garden wall, in the remaining time before deep late autumn   
   and winter weather sets-in.   
      
   I got a "simple" single-section ladder of just the right length.  Found   
   one available.  Ordered mail-order because that had it delivered to the   
   door.  No need to work out how to transport.   
      
   Leans at 1-to-4 angle against horizontal timbers,   
   yet is short enough to go upright against the end-wall to store.   
      
   Happy days :-)   
      
   I can spin it around about the vertical axis through 180deg at any gap   
   between the roof trusses, to face the opposite direction.   
      
   I am very pleased with the simplicity and light weight.   
   I am pleased with myself for seeing this simplicity.   
      
   Regards,   
   Rich Smith

   Despite having two extensions, two 8', two 6' and one 5' step ladders plus a   
   16' and 12' Z-folders the ones I use most are short ones like yours salvaged   
   from the free damaged ladder.   
      
   That quantity is from opportunity rather than intent.
