Ladders for Ladies - Keep them SAFE $29.99
Wife, SWMBO, Mother, Daughter, Girl Friend, Friendly Cookie Maker, etc.

For several years I have been giving 4 foot Ladders to Ladies.
4 Foot is tall enough for use under a common 8 foot ceiling.
User can stand at a safe level and change bulbs, adjust drapes, etc.

Compared to the usual 6 foot ladder:
Carrying a 4 foot ladder is less likely to knock things over.
The 4 foot ladder weighs less.

Many years ago Lowes sold 4 foot fiberglass Werner Ladder at a LOW Black Friday Price.
I bought several that year, to give away.

Check the net for Black Friday preview ad.
Again this year Lowes Black Friday Sale will include 4 foot fiberglass Werner Ladders for $29.99.

Keep Somebody or Yourself SAFE!

Some have mentioned having ceilings higher than 8 foot.
Some taller ladders are also offered with Black Friday Prices.

Wish we only had 8' ceilings, but the developers decided to build SoCal style homes in the desert. It's hardly a new trend. A lot of Victorian and Edwardian homes in the UK had 9' ceilings.
 
My wife has one of these. Pretty safe.

If she had a traditional step ladder, she would just stand on the top piece and do a balancing act.

When I painted for money, I used a little bench about 20" tall and 36" long. The cut in around the ceiling of an 8 or 9 foot room, start with the bench about 12 to 15 inches out from the wall you are working on and around 20 to 24" from the end wall. I could get to 6 to 7 feet of ceiling cut in. On a 5' step ladder I got about 4 foot of cut in. Placing a second bench around 3 feet away from the first, allowed me to just step over and get almost a second 6 to 7' section of wall cut in. A lot of times that is a whole wall and 3' of both end walls. One trip to the floor, move both benches and a second wall in less than 5 minutes!

My wife found one of my benches for household/kitchen/garden work, and I never got it back! They're about $33-35, Best in pairs, fold up nice for travel or storage, hold about 300+ pounds, and free up you Work-mate to allow assembly of projects to be at "stand-up" level.

I lost one to my wife (Happy Wife, Happy Life) and one to my youngest son, for his shop (he already had one and "Borrowed" one of mine for a project 14 years ago!

I once built a 1 ft stool for my wife. She was 5'1' and couldn't reach the middle shelf with out falling. She fell off the one footer also. The divorce followed soon after. Besides she could not boil water with out burning it.
