Ladder ordered

I've ordered an 8 foot class 1A (300 lb) ladder for working on the ceiling of the workshop, to be truck delivered by Lowes.  This will also be useful for putting stuff on shelves, working on exterior paint up to a limited height, and so on.  This ladder will be kept in the workshop when possible (mostly).

There was a large price difference between Class 1 (250 pound rating) and Class 1A (300 pound rating).  As is my usual way, however, I opted for the more expensive ladder.  A good ladder is a long term investment.

When it has come to buying stuff, I've generally acted pretty fast.  (It's in the actual doing of stuff that I'm not always the fastest.)  For example:

0) French door ordered for pickup overnight after request.
1) Exterior door and window caulk chosen and purchased on day's notice.
2) Paint colors chosen with two day's notice; decided on new plan then.
3) A/C unit obtained in November when units seemed to be becoming scarce.
4) Fleetwood window selected and ordered in August.
5) Roof sample accepted in 24 hours.
6) Tile chosen and ordered as requested, along with thinset and colored grout.
7) Decisions on trim style and window treatment made within hours.
