I need to install crown moulding in a stairwell going to the secondfloor of a townhome. It has a landing and a right angle going to a smaller set of stairs to the second floor hallway which all the rooms are off of. Does that make sense? Anyway, because the height is so tall and the ground space so narrow I can’t use one of those multi use ladders. I could use a 16′ extension ladder on the stair itself butting the feet into the riser and resting the top against the facing wall, but that will limit the amount of horizontal length that I can reach. I thought about putting up an adustable horse as high as it goes and level to a step along w/ some planks & then I would be able to use an 8′”A” frame ladder on that. It’s all quite a pain since the space is so small and crown moulding isn’t the quickest for me to install. I could use om ideas if anyone has any. Thanx.
