To reach 7 feet, all I have to do is reach 6 inches over my head.

Haha Dan. You have nothing to worry about, cause the bigger they are, the nicer they are. One thing that hasn't been mentioned is the maximum weight the ladder can hold. It will be printed on a label attached to the ladder.

Our cottage has about an 18' ceiling... I was able to put up a ceiling fan with a 22' little giant (with it in ladder mode). I can't say enough good things about little giant ladders. If you want 1 jack of all trades ladder to keep at your cottage, this is the one. It's also great in step ladder mode for slopping land where you can make one side be longer than the other.

You can get the Werner version that's pretty much the same at HD/Lowes.

We call the werner version the big giant because it is a little more heavy duty than the little giant. It is extremely well made and I use mine in my carpentry business daily. They are so stable both in an A frame and extension mode it has changed how we approach certain task. The old fiberglass step ladders sit in the shed and barely see the light of day. these are way safer and more versatile. I got mine at Lowes about 10 years ago for $203.-

I have the Little Giant Xtreme 22' and like it. It is definitely heavy to lug around, but for the occasional project it comes in very handy.
