I too have a cathedral ceiling. It is 8 feet high at the eaves, so a 10 foot step ladder is too tall. I also have two little giants (different brand I think. From HD but not $200 10+ years ago) Anyway, the adjustable height is great, and for a few bucks more ($75?) I bought an expandable aluminum plank to run between two little giants. My own scaffolding. Or, a unique tent for the grandkids with a big tarp.

This thread started talking about ceiling height, but I would consider outside gable height, which from the ground may be different at either end of the building. If you want your kids to paint the cottage, get them the best.
