The WERNER AA10

Our new Home is a Condo. It's perfect but we don't have a basement. Growing up we ALWAYS had a basement. It was the place to store important junk that we used only once in a great while. Camping stuff, Christmas ornaments, my Dad's sawed off shot gun. That kind of stuff.
Our Condo has an attic. We were told when we bought the place, "Do not store things in the attic". The furnace/air conditioner are up there and there is supposedly ...NO SPACE.

Turns out there is quite a lot of space. Over 100 sq feet on a platform of 3/4 inch plywood. It's room for a service man to work around the furnace if needed. We took 20 sq feet and used it for storage. The only problem, how do you get into the attic.

Wandering around Lowes I found the Werner AA10. Wow it was too good to be true. A real telescoping ladder that will fit an opening 22" X 22". We bought it and set it up over two evenings. I did much of the work. Pam and Jack helped by asking questions and staying out of the way of falling tools. It works really well.

You get a pole to reach up and pull down the ladder sections. Sweet. Easy to work and strong, like Bull.
