J asked:
The cages that surround very tall ladders, how exactly do they make the ladder safer? If you were to fall wouldn't you still just bounce down the cage, doesn't seem much better then having it open.

Kristy asked:
I have a tall bookcase that requires a ladder. Where can I find one online? I have searched eBay and Yahoo and have found nothing. Ikea sells them, but we don't have any Ikea stores in my state, and if I order one from their site, they will charge me over $300 just to ship it. If you know of an online store that sells nice, reasonably priced ladders for use with bookcases, please let me know. Thanks!
My town doesn't have a Home Depot either.
I'm looking for something like this that doesn't have to be attached to a wall:

B to the Mac asked:
I have a high, lofted ceiling in my attic and I need to stand on a ladder to repair a duct. I was thinking of getting some plywood up there and laying it over the rafter and standing on the ladder that way, but I don't know what I'm doing. How can I stand on a ladder in my attic?

joe h asked:
Hello,
I have a driveway that comes down and wraps around the house. I'll estimate it at slightly under 45 degrees. I need to get up a ladder to install a bathroom vent on the second floor from that side. How do I place a ladder on my sloped driveway without it tipping over? Sounds like a math problem, but its not! Thanks for any useful advice.
