I’m an average-height guy… but I needed to finish drywall. Being as I have no stilts, and I have a project that needed limited use of my own vertical improvement, I did this quick 3-minute mod to move myself up two feet while remaining stable.

Step #1:
I KNOW this seems like a cheap mod. It is. I needed something quick and simple to get me up to the 8-foot level without having to buy, make, or learn to use stilts. Professional dry-wallers use stilts to do their jobs. They are good at what they do, and it's a unique skill not often seen. As I am a DIYer, and attempting my first full home restoration, I needed something similar; hence the bright idea I have here. If you need it now, and you need it cheap, this is the way to go.
