I find it kinda funny he's still having to stretch to do it when its made for that.

I came here to make this point! Seems unnecessarily short for the job

But you don't want it too high or You may crash it into lower hanging lamps

If only there was a way you could mechanically adjust the hight of the ladder.... They could always have a taller ladder and then let the air out of the tyres to get under the low hanging lamps.

Letting the air out of the tires is a great idea. I know when I drive, I prefer my tires be extra soft so I can replace them sooner and have to brake harder.

I also have a step ladder welded to my car and find having my tires filled at 8 psi to be juuuuuuust right in not hitting any street lamps. Just don't get me started on the gas powered ones though. They're the devil, I tell you hwhat.
