I need to stand on a stepladder for the elevation on a few jobs to bridge over flat roofs. Used to have to get the ladder off for them before the SLX.

I never said I was a good workman though Malc ;D It was still a bit of a stretch reaching that 3 rd floor window even standing on the roof of my escort van, but i was just starting out, needless to say I've invested since and now have a bigger van ;D
