You've already got answers to most of your questions, the only thing I
might add is that, and I don't know just how true it is, but cycling a fan
on and off, might be more damaging than keeping it on, due to current
spikes and such.
Just a thought.

I think you are a bit ahead of the game here. The race that Lee is in, is
not really a competitive race. It isn't for race sstandings, and there
isn't a national blind driver race circuit. it is a once a year, have
some fun, wreck some cars, raise some cash event.

Home Depot sells the same ladder under a different name for about 1/3 of the
cost. I do not recall the brand name it is sold under. the only regret I
have with mine is that I didn't get the 20 foot instead of the 13 foot.

You're right, a motor whether A.C. or D.C. takes just so much
power to operate it, about 750 watts per horse power or so.
doesn't matter a dime whether it's A.C. or D.C. Except that the
power feeding your furnace is A.C. and has to be rectified to
