I am not sure what forum I should post this question in so I am open for suggestions. I have a situation that I don't know the best and cheapest way to for me to reach the walls so that I can paint the walls on the sides of my steps that lead from the first floor to the second floor, seventeen feet. I also have to do plaster repairs on one of the walls and where that wall meets the ceiling. What type of accessory do I need for an extension ladder, which I assume is the best way to go? I have a 29 foot extension ladder already. The steps, 13, go straight up with no landing or turn at all and the side walls run the whole way to the ceiling. At the top you come off of the step into the living room. Thanks for the assistance.

Hello! We are refinishing our kitchen cabinets. They were stained and we're painting them. So, we cleaned, sanded, primed, sanded, painted and stained (to achieve an aged effect). Now I'm ready to put the polyurethane on. How many coats would you all recommend that I apply? This is a kitchen, remember... and I have small children so I need it to hold up VERY well. Any input is appreciated!
