  • Stepladder config would still be safer. I know what you mean though, you're standing on it so you get a feel for how secure it is. Looking forward to the future of the internet h&s remote policing though. :)

    BBC says accidents with ladders are the largest cause of diy deaths.

  • Hah, I panicked and leant it on the boxed section. Was about twice as awkward to do the remaining brackets but no one died. In retrospect stepladder would have been just about ok but feels like more chance of toppling over straight through the window. Especially given working at right angles to the fold.

    The cat is here for the supervision ;)

  • If that ladder is the same as mine (which I bought from Lidl), you can use it in platform configuration, which feels nice and stable. Obviously that depends on whether you can reach high enough and whether you have the metal plates that lock on top of it.
