I was in exactly the same boat as you with no light. I considered the big expensive ladders too. Then, I found a video on youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X2MYQdg-amQ All I did was modify his design a little bit. I didn't need the extra 4 inch blocks because the Kreg joints are already so tight. Use the video as a guide but when you measure, try using a scrap 2x4 on your steps to measure with, press it down into your carpet (if you have carpet) because mine is just about maybe 1/2 inch shorter than where it needs to be. I measured from top of carpet without pushing my measuring tape down into the carpet (as a board would do). Total cost of wood? 6 bucks at Lowes for 2 2x4's. A step ladder or adjustable ladder works well on this. Thanks for the comment!
