Hi all,I'm new but haven't found a thread on my dilemma, so forgive me if I'm repeating :)We have recently had an extension built and opted to do the painting ourselves. We have a right L winder staircase (approx 1000mm wide) which has a vaulted ceiling for the length of the stair. The ceiling is just under 6m at floor level (2400mm at the upper storey) and the walls extend up to it on both sides.My dilemma is how to reach the ceiling and upper walls along the length of the stair. Have looked into a couple of scaffolding solutions for stairs, but have found that the working platform will be too low as they require using the upper steps to rest the platform on.Does anyone have any experience with this problem or any ideas that might help? Would much appreciate it.

We use Easy Towes in West Heidelberg for our scaffolding. They can work out what you need if you fax them a drawing.

cheers.
