I was gambling in the back of my mind that my 28 footer would make it to the gutter line on the back of this home I did yesterday - just barely made it, and only because of the stabilizer holding it further away from the wall so I could more comfortably get around the gutter.
Right now I am doing all these gutter cleanings by myself. As a small company I never stocked ladders bigger than a 28 footer other than a 40 footer. A forty footer is a very inefficient tool to use if not needed for maximum heights - but with a helper it negates the absolute need for 32 and 36 foot ladders, when there is a need for it. And I hate owning extra ladders.
As well, since I am cleaning gutters by myself - I can't easily get a forty footer up by myself - it becomes a game changer if I need ladders bigger than 28 feet, and so far I have been just passing when they get really high. I don't feel like investing $300 for another ladder I won't need more than twice a year.
