Quick questions lang
What is a good ladder for home use? I want something easy to store and sturdy. Parang ok din yung folding type then it could expand to around 8ft.

How much should I spend and where is the best place to get them.

I have the usual ladder - made by the aluminum companies (mga el cheapo) hirap ma store plus madali masira din.

I have a three fold ladder at home (like the one you see on Home TV Shopping). I bought mine at ACE Hardware. Although it cost me a pretty penny, it is worth all the centavos. It can extend to eight feet, act as a low scaffolding and the like.

I used to have those el cheapo aluminum ladders - it didn't last long.

that is what I'm eyeing too. How much did you get it for? Oo nga eh - If it would last me 10 years of use then I think it would really pay for itself - eh sa time span niyan baka limang el cheapo na nabili ko. Plus the safety issue - hindi masyadong sturdy yung mumurahin

I was thinking of going to Alonzo and T Mapua too look for that particular ladder - might be a bit cheaper there. Pero kung hindi - well dadami nalang ako ng reward points sa BDO card ko :)

I got it for 12K at ACE. I initially wanted to go to Alonzo, T. Mapua or even Soler to look for that ladder but at the time that I bought it, speed of acquiring one is at the essence. No regrets though. Very handy.

Made of good, thick aluminum - unlike those el cheapo ladders.
