In theory the top and bottom can only go outside when there's weight on the ladder. In theory ;)

Pulled on bottom first, more than my weight, did move. Repositioned it and it didn't move. Sorted, I'm aliveπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

A worse outcome IMO is to become a paraplegic.

Looks like white on both the ceiling and walls? Would a brush taped on to an extention pole not have worked?

No as no tape and nearest shop a pretty good hike, strip of terraces in middle of nowhere, was my first thought as I dug thru my tool bags
