When it comes time to paint the roof of something as cumbersome as a 50 year old Butler grain bin, nothing beats the safety and comfort of the <a title=”Little Giant” href=”http://www.littlegiantladder.com/?source=lglggbranded&amp;gclid=CJG-uJei7qQCFc9a7AodEmbm1A” target=”_blank”>Little Giant</a>&nbsp; <a title=”SelectStep” href=”http://www.SelectStep.com” target=”_blank”>SelectStep</a> adjustable height stepladder. The Little Giant SelectStep adjustable step ladder comes in models that are adjustable from four to six feet and from&nbsp;five to eight feet in height. Our Little Giant SelectStep adjustable stepladder is the taller model, and when it&rsquo;s fully extended it makes a perfect platform for painting the grain bin&rsquo;s roof. For safety sake, we set the ladder so that it leaned slightly into the grain bin and adjusted its legs to be equal height all the way around. </p>

<p>I&rsquo;ve been a huge fan of Little Giant ladders for years &ndash; I bought my first to use as an infinitely adjustable and incredibly stable platform for shooting machinery photographs. Needless to say, that ladder, which can convert from an adjustable step ladder to an extension ladder has been used for everything from building a mudroom addition onto our 103 year old farm house to pressure washing the house’s siding, to wiring the barn. What I particularly like about the new SelectStep&rsquo;s design is that it is lighter, has wheels that make relocating the ladder really easy, and it has super-ergonomic height adjustment levers &ndash; in fact for the non-climbing legs, there&rsquo;s a single swivel latch that releases both leg-locking pins at the same time. The climbing legs are adjusted with a pair of easy to engage and disengage locks (one on each side) that are so well designed it&rsquo;s virtually impossible to pinch your fingers while working them.</p>
