Thanks for the reference. From what I saw of the pictures, it looked like a permanent attachment. I probably would need to see it in person.

For now, until I get free time to rig something up - I'm going with the "remove ladder" option - I'll just be careful when tightening. It worked well this weekend. Another bonus is that the whole wall behind the ladder will get cleaned (at least at the waterline). The ladder guard will be an option if my eventual prototype fails and I get tired of messing with the ladder.

So much for smart vacuums.....

Thanks again
