I extend mine when it's flat on the floor with the microlight on. Then put the ladder feet against the wall and walk the ladder to a semi upright position - it can then be walked out from the base while keeping your hands in the centre of the rungs a few rungs apart.
Ok will try that. Surprised you can reach the bottom rung of the ladder from the ground when it's extended that high. Will try it.Hard to explain this one!! If you stand your ladder upright against the house with the microlight on (unextended) - position the ladder so it is vertical, you can 'shimmy' it away from the overhanging gutter/soffit whatever, away from the house then extend everything as high as it will go OR to just above the gutter so when you continue to extend it the microlight rolls up the tiles until it hits the gutter again and is lifted off the roof. I find as soon as the microlight is resting in the tiles you can move the rungs up one at a time as the roof supports the majority of the weight. The ladder can be moved away from the house each time you push a rung up so the ladder angle increases until it's good to climb. Hope that makes a bit of sense - I looked for a video but can't see anything relevant.
Like I said I tend to extend my ladders while they are flat on the floor and then walk them up until extended - this still takes a bit of muscle power but it's pretty much unavoidable how lever you do it.
When the microlight sits uneven on the tiles I either put the ladder at an angle so the feet are flat or just shove a wedge/laddermate under the feet so it doesn't move when you climb it.
