Scaffolding: common problems

Whats the best way to hold paint and brushes when working off a ladder

Use a kettle-hook. This can be made by bending a strong piece of wire, about 15 to 20 inches long, into an S shape. One end can then be hooked onto the ladder and the handle of the paint container hooked onto the other end.

What is the best way to climb a ladder carrying paint and brushes

Carry the paint kettle and brushes in you right hand(or left if you prefer), grip the left outside rail (NOT the rungs) of the ladder with your left hand, and proceed up the ladder stepping on the rungs with the balls of your feet not with your insteps.
