I rented a 40 foot extension ladder when I needed to get to the top
of a chimney for some repairs; it was $50 a day.=C2=A0 Go up with a non

one bulb burned out the other did as well and they were both
ignored.=C2=A0 I recommend renting a ladder that can do the job or
renting the scaffolding you want and do both jobs the same day or
