So I did a search...and the search found this topic in the archives, but I can't get to it...so I'll ask my question.

We're getting ready to paint...and I need to get an idea of what I need to get to be able to paint the wall that that is above my open stairwell. That is...as you go down to the basement, the stairwell is open above you, until you get to about the last step. At that point there is a wall from the cieling of the basement to the cieling of the main level. Is there some sort of special ladder I can rent or something to help me get up in there. For the bulk of it, I'll use a roller with an extension rod, but I have to be able to get the corners and such.

Thanks,

Marc

Sorry you couldn't find it again Marc
If this one's not it, it's a good one anyway
