Forum Title: Tall Ladders Short Painter

I have a 34 foot heavy duty ladder that I had a really tough time moving around. Once I got it up I found it really difficult to get off the wall because I am short 5'7 and could not get the leverage to pull it off the wall. Then I had an ah ha moment. Put a rope about two rungs higher than I could reach and used it to pull the ladder off the wall. It is working great.
