So, here's a look at this stairwell right here that we'll be working and painting. And you can see we've got this stairwell with a high ceiling. We're going to have to paint these ceilings and cut this in. And it's going to take a few uh tricks of the trade to work on that and get it painted. We're going to show you that process. Okay, we're going to start working in this hallway now. This tight hallway with this high high ceiling. There's a couple tools or painters tricks that you'll actually need to actually paint in this hallway. One of them is a pivot ladder box right here. And this is a box that actually will sit on the stairs that will level your ladder while you're on these stairs. And then because it's a tight space, we can't get an extending ladder in here, like a 24 ft extension ladder. We'll be using an extend climb ladder right here. This ladder. And we'll just extend it up. Set it on our box. And then we can begin painting in this tight space. So you see I got my ladder. Just going to extend it up pretty close to the ceiling. Then I got my box right here. Just going to set my ladder right here on my box. And that levels my ladder in this hallway. Now I can climb up the ladder and begin painting the ceiling up here and do my cutins. And I'll give you another look from an opposite side now. So, here's a look at our ladder sitting on our pivot ladder box extended up to our ceiling. Now, I can actually reach up there, start painting the ceilings, and then doing our cut ends. So, once again, in this hallway, I'm working here. got this ladder. It just easily, you know, ratchets down. Um, you can see it's just got some buttons on the sides right here. And it just snaps down, closes up, so I can easily take it out of here. This is a ladder by Extend Climb. And then this box right here, this um box is made by Pivot. And it's a box designed to go on roofs or stair steps or any uneven surfaces, even on the ground. It's got some non-slip rubber on it, which makes it really convenient for these wood steps right here, cuz these are wood. And so, we don't want this box to slip and slide around. And these are two tools that we use quite often when it comes to working in stairways and on uh steps inside of houses. You got to check them out. Got both these actual items on my tool store. You can check out my tool store. I'll leave a link to it where you can actually see it if you want to purchase the items. So once again, I'm going to set it back up and I'll show you us painting it. So I got my ladder set up here on the box. It's want to make sure it's all nice and sturdy. Now I'm going to climb up here and begin painting. So now we got our ladder set up right here on our ladder box with our extending climb ladder. Makes doing your ceilings in these hallways and ceilings that are unaccessible without that box or extending ladder easy to do. Do you really like painting? I love it. Oo, I love it.
