You're welcome. Against the house, more likely.
Thanks for the idea of the stabilizer . I did not know they existed.
For the gutters if you put it against the house- the ladder would be extended just below the gutters. But depending how much overhang there is of the roof/ Gutter, there might still be a problem with using the stabilizer since you would be several steps down and might still not be able to be far enough out to clean the gutter.
My gutters are pretty sturdy so I have just used the extension ladder against the gutters.
Also- for gutter cleaning, make yourself a tool using a broom handle,or better 6 or 8 ft plant stake (1/2 diameter metal often with green covering ) and attach a piece of bent metal wide enough to fit the bottom of the gutter at the end. Use this to scrape the stuff in the gutter towards you. Have the garbage can right next to the ladder and you can drop all the stuff - most of which will be in the can ( depends on your aim). The tool will fit under the gutter braces ( be sure to factor this in when you make it) so you can go the full length of the tool.
This way you can clean from both directions and only have to move the ladder a couple of times. You can also use the other end of your new tool to push any debri down the down spout and then flush both the gutter and downspout with water.
Another great day in the adventure of exploration and sight.
