    I kept an aluminium ladder outside chained to a fence for about 15 years with no problems, except someone reported me to the RSPCL.

    After my ladder awareness course, I tried to treat mine with a little more kindness, so like Daisy, I moved to a bungalow and put the it in a barn with some hay. It still just mopes about.

    Frankly, I don't think it's that bothered where it is. :)

    The poor thing-don't you know a barn and hay isn't enough? You need to take it out for walks regularly, and show it some of the high spots of your location occasionally!

    I would, but I suffer from vertigo.

    There is a compatibility issue there, I'll admit. :o

    I only bought a stepladder anyway in the first place - not a long ladder. That lives in the understairs cupboard - along with all sorts of other stuff besides the hoover.

    Darn nearly everything I wish to store in the garage goes up in the loft - because I havent got a garage on this house. Hence I've had the loft boarded/a pull-down ladder installed and a light put up there (but my loft hatch is a big one and the lofts in these houses are big enough/high enough to turn into 3rd bedrooms if wanted).
