What's my issue? What's my problem? Well. I'm 5' 3 1/3" the DMV makes me choose either 5'3" or 5'4" so I choose 5'4" to feel better, but that really stretching it. Now I have some *really* short friends, so I often forget I'm short as well. BUT I remembered it recently. Yup, the stupid hallway leads into the stairway, I have no idea how to get the wallpaper down from there. Hubs has an idea, but for the life of me all I can see is one trip to the ER for me.
Oh and BTW here is Don Helfrich's signature from August 1985.
Have a good weekend everyone!

:) I'm the opposite... I chose to go with 5'4" instead of 5'5".. I'm really 5'4.5".
I think to think bigger, hubs says that's my whole problem. LOL
That's over the stairs? I think you might have to construct temporary, but strong and stable, scaffolding, no? I remember when my dad, bro and I were drywalling my parents' back porch...over a double staircase and a landing. I think my dad spent more time constructing a scaffolding that would reach down to each level (porch, landing, basement floor) than we did putting up the drywall. But it was safe, even though it was temporary...I wish I remember what it looked like...good luck though...
I exposed brick at the top of my staircase and used an articulating ladder. Here is a link to the ladder type. http://www.toolfetch.com/Category/Roofing/Ladders/CT412.htm
To get more height out of the ladder I set the top of the ladder (folded in half at a 90 degree angle) on top of a bucket. It was quite unstable, but I had a friend sit on said bucket to stop the ladder from swaying. It wasn't quite the safest thing I've ever done, so you may want to consider some scaffolding.
