I’m not sure who’s more excited about this ladder – me or my husband!
Extend-a-Step graciously sent us the most awesome ladder ever. And they are so awesome that they want to give one of you a free ladder too!! Total awesomespice-ness all around. Merry Christmas, my friends!
The general concept of this ladder is that it is compact, portable, light-weight, made from aircraft quality aluminum, and super easy to store making it a snap to use.
Check out how compact this ladder is:

But in about 5 seconds flat, it goes from compact to over TWELVE FEET TALL! Wowza.

The Extend-a-Step ladder is perfect for hanging Christmas Lights:

…Or reaching those awkward too-high plant shelves that are so popular in newer homes.

With two wild monkeys for children, reaching the plant shelf for random toys is a weekly occurrence!
Extend-a-Step is also great for reaching those out-of-reach spaces that a traditional ladder can’t, such as inside a stairwell.

This is especially handy when you start painting, then realize you can’t reach, and then dump the project on your unsuspecting husband and tell him to “figure it out”.
In addition to the obvious ways you can use a telescoping ladder, there are also loads of other uses for an extendable ladder, such as…
To help you reach your silverware drawer:

(This picture is as real as it gets. Bowl on the floor, dirty dishes galore, hydrogen peroxide on the counter…)
To make talking to Wilson easier:

To help you reach door mats that are drying on the balcony after a rainstorm:

(Our dog, Chase, is looking at Ben thinking, “Yo, dude! You.are.a.moron. Just use the stairs.”)
To make getting on the trampoline easier…

…so you can then show off your mad back flip skillz.

And most importantly, so you can reach your cooler to grab a nice cold Dr Pepper.

Of course, you can always reach the top shelf easier by not extending the ladder all the way, and using it the way it was intended, but really, the real question here is, “Which way is more fun?”

This lightweight totally friggin’ awesome ladder even comes with a carrying case, making lugging it around even easier! And cuter.

Bottom line, Extend-a-Step is the strongest and best priced telescoping ladder on the market! It is used by the US Navy Seals, Boeing, home inspectors, contractors, pest control companies, etc. It is perfect for urban dwellers in small spaces, RV owners, rental property owners, DIY’ers and anyone that doesn’t want to store and carry a full sized ladder! It supports up to 330 lbs and comes with a 1 year warranty. Hot dawg!

Ha, Ha, Ha… your post was so much fun! I could definitely use this ladder, as I was up on our old rickety ladder this year hanging Christmas lights.
Thanks for a great giveaway!
Ha!! My favorite is DEFINITELY the silverware drawer!! That’s priceless.
Great idea of a product, too. Thanks for the chance to win!
hahaha thanks for the laugh
My kids went to the dentist today and had no cavities.
True story, bro.
HAHA!

Your post was hysterical! Loved the Dr. Pepper/Cooler shot! This looks like something I could use. Maybe some things would get done sooner ‘cuz I won’t have to wait for the hubby being that our old wooden ladder is:
#1 – Too Dang Heavy and
#2 – Full of splinters that immediately transfer to my hands.
I love the way you created a photo demo for this ladder. So funny & believe me, I needed a good laugh today! Thanks for the giveaway.

We NEED this to get in our silverware drawer too! Thanks for the entertaining post and awesome giveaway!
I could really use one of these! We don’t have a tall ladder so putting up xmas lights was a challenge this year, we had to have my FIL drive 30 minutes and bring us a ladder! This would make life a lot easier
I like Extend-A-Step on FB and would love to win!
This ladder would be so frickin awesome! This way, when my husband is being obnoxious I can hand him the ladder and send him up on the roof to clean the gutters. Don’t feel bad for him, I hear men actually like it up there.
This is the first time I’ve been on your site (came over from Pinterest) and just have to say this post was very funny! The pictures of the silverware drawer and mats on the deck are hilarious!!
ur husband is an uber trooper!! props to him!
I totally need this to paint our stairway too. I love that it’s so compact!
I now ‘Like’ Extend A Step on facebook. Thanks for the giveaway!
the boyfriend would love this-i would be, like, the best girlfriend ever if i got this and gave it to him. a ladder is literally on his xmas wish list!
i love how your hubs was able to show us how this works-those daily workouts to reach the silverware drawer are just getting to be too much, lol.
I would totally use the ladder to kill spiders! They always seem to lurk in the most out of reach places, and I can’t stand knowing there’s one ALIVE in the house. *shudder*
I “liked” their FB page and told them you sent me
I liked them on their FB page!
OMG!!! I want one so…bad. I just had someone paint my foyer for me and I really want to put plants on my plant shelf but my little step ladder will not cut it. Dear Giveaway Gods, PICK ME!!!
This has to be one of the most funny posts ever! Your husband is such a sport to pose for all those pictures, although I suspect he had just as much fun as you did.
I would really like to win this ladder, because my husband wants to get rid of the pigeons on our house with a pellet gun and says he has to do it that way because he doesn’t have a tall enough ladder. Um… help?
You are too funny! I love the Dr Pepper Picture! I would love to win a ladder!
Thanks for the great giveaway!! Loved your post, would love it even more if I could win…LOL!
I liked them on Facebook!! (Babblings and More)
This is a great giveaway and my husband defintly needs something like this.. lets just say he is challenged in some area’s.lol!
I would use this ladder by finding projects for my husband to do!
Or maybe I’d extend it up to put santa feet in the chimmney. or maybe extend it up to spy on my neighbors (ok, I totally wouldn’t, too creepy!!).
Thanks for the laughs! I loved your post!
Liked em on FB!
I liked extend a ladder on facebook and have decided if I DONT WIN… i might need to buy one. Thanks for showing us new things that I did not even know exist
Oh my goodness! I love this post, and the awesome pictures of the ladder in action
My hubby and I were just talking about needing a new ladder, we recently (well less than 6 months ago) moved into a new house and our old ladder just isn’t the right size! Plus this looks perfect because it can always be used as a step ladder. Hope you’re having a great day!!
great pics; this giveaway comes with the model, right? I’ve got a stairwell that needs painting…..
Holy cow, that is one cool ladder!
Extend-a-step could help me reach new heights in helping me achieve houseproud status! Thanks for the giveaway!
Your husband sure is cute and so sweet for helping out? Does he have a much, much older brother? Or is his father single?
Just kidding about the brother/father bit. Seriously love this ladder.
I like them on FB too!
I like extend-a-step on FB. Wish I would have seen this before I bought hubby a christmas present. Then i would have benefited from it too
This ladder solves the #2 problem with extension ladders… having a place for one! The #1 problem is a bit more difficult to solve… my problem with heights!!!
Nice product, great giveaway!
Yes, please….I’d like to have this for me – hubby would be SO jealous! Oh, my son, too! We would use it to climb up and get our avocados off our tree…and maybe on the roof…oh, my dad would be even MORE jealous!!

Is it wrong to have fantasies about this ladder?
I would get some legit handy-chick cred if I had this.
Hi.lar.i.ous.! Such a fun post! Thanks for the giveaway. I would totally use this ladder to get to my bottom cupboards. Maybe then I would use the pots and pans that are in there and actually cook a real dinner. Oh, and I would hang up christmas lights.
I would love to win this ladder… We recently moved cross country and bought a new house. Let’s just say that it NEEDS! Needs repair, needs painting, pretty much needs alot of love. But it is ours and there isnt anything that I can’t do with the right tools. I have been trying to figure out how to reach the high celings and stairways, this would solve that problem for sure. Keeping my fingers crossed
Love the post! This ladder looks awesome!!! Maybe this would help my husband put up Christmas lights…..
I would love to win this ladder in your giveaway! I’m new at reading your blog, but have really enjoyed it so far!
I have liked the extend a step’s FB page
Wooo-eeee that is an awesome ladder! Love the action shots! If I won, my Mom would be soooo jealous. She loves to buy fancy gizmos that fold up or have multiple purposes.
Seriously the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time! I LOVE reading your blog!!!
I totally am in love with this ladder!! I could use this for SO many different thingys!!
Also, as a a little funny story, when we were eating the other day my daughter (4) told me I just HAD to try the food because I would “fa-la-la-la love it!”
I don’t know where she comes up with this stuff!
I also liked them on FB and am drooling officially now…
I liked them on Facebook, too!
I could actually dust above my cabinets…Cool!!! ;~)
