MUST HAVE painting tools!!! Ladder Levelers

What happens here

Place the ladder on its side on a stable workbench. Identify one of the side rails to begin working. Using a straight edge (like a square ruler) and a permanent marker (like a Sharpie), carefully draw a line across the inside section of one of the ladder rungs. This line is critical for accurate template placement later.

Goal: Precisely mark the ladder rung for initial template alignment.

Tools and materials

  • Extension Ladder Section Werner — The part of the ladder being prepared for installation
  • Sharpie Marker Sharpie — Drawing the clear, visible line on the ladder rung
  • Square Ruler — Ensuring a straight and accurate line is drawn
