Comment on Dumb question: Is it safe to use extension ladder on interrior wall?

It’s not a dumb question. Ladders are one of the most dangerous things people keep in their house, and making sure you’re using one correctly is important. As to your situation, I think it would be fine to use an extension ladder. My only experience with extension ladder is using 28’-32’ ladders to get into tree for trimming. I am not an expert on indoor use.

Yeah, I’d consider myself comfortable with ladders and with heights. I’ve climbed higher things than this. But you’re right, they can be dangerous. I know how to respect them outside the house, but inside the house just feels more sketchy because I have to be aware of myself and any potential damage to the house. Don’t want to make the wife mad 😅.

Get a stabilizer bar for your extension ladder. It makes them much more stable and all the ones I’ve seen had padded feet on the ends which will also keep you from scratching up the wall.
