An infomercial tool that really works

Yes, that’s me on a Little Giant ladder.  Note how one side is shorter, enabling a closer perch over the porch.  I needed the extra few inches to avoid damaging the shrubs while I reach to clean up the porch posts, before painting them. 

My father-in-law offered it to us when we needed an extension ladder, and I wondered if I’d ever get to take advantage of its many freaky infomercial features.  I can check the “ladder-on-stairs” box.  Perhaps I can do a scaffold next.
