I allways judge, that each floor are 10 feet apart, so the forth floor should require a 40 foot pole.

Not quite.  It would be 40 feet from the ground to the top of the fourth floor, but the top of the window is a couple of feet below this so we're down to 38 feet, then the bottom of the pole will be about 4 feet off the ground so that makes it 34 feet.

It depends,modern 4th floors are not the same as the old buildings.I`ve done modern 4th floor jobs with a 28ft pole.

Very true.  Some modern houses have ceilings only about 7'6" high.

An old building of a true 4th floor would require a 35ft SL2 at least,i do both old and new buildings and the height varies a hell of a lot.
