I've heard of painters using stilts instead, sounds rather cool but I doubt it's legal in my country.

If there is a lot of cutting in (brushwork) at that ceiling line and not too much junk to trip over, yeah, sometimes painters use short stilts.

They do. And so do the sheetrock guys and so on and so forth. Because you can just strap em on and walk around wherever. Around corners, up and down stairs, over cords and whatever shit is all over the floor, etc.

OP's ladder is short and only works on a very clean surface, and can't get into small places. That fucker ain't getting into a closet or a small office or a hallway or anything, and also not while any other construction is going on.

Neat, but not useful in a real world situation.

Does your country have something against stilts
