Default Equipment/tools rentals?

Is there a rental place nearby TV?

I am in need of a 12 foot step ladder or 20 foot extension ladder.

Need to reach 10 foot ceiling border painting.

I think Home Depot rents tools. Not sure about ladders.

I am confused, I have an 8 foot step ladder which easily works for a 10 foot ceiling and can be used for a 12 foot ceiling, the 2 sizes you mention will not fit in the room.

My mistake. The ceilings are 12 feet. The ladder I have is an 8 foot. So the ten foot should work. Twelve for sure.
The more ladder I can have above me the more comfort I have being up that high.

OK, now here is one item you need to think about, an 8 foot ladder in general may not fit in a 8 foot ceiling, you need consider how you will setup the ladder, you may not be able to tilt it as is is longer than 8 feet. The same goes if you have the ladder closed, it may be longer than with the legs extended. While hard to find, I would go with a 9 foot ladder for the 10 foot ceilings and 11 foot for the 12 foot.

My wife bought me one of those ladders that folds and extends, so for working with the ladder leaning on the wall it can be adjusted in 1 foot increments, same goes when it is setup like a conventional free standing ladder, but is is limited to 6 feet.
Hope this helps.
