Turn right and pick up the ladder. Turn 180 degrees and lift the piece of paper on the table. Look at the plank to the left side of the door leading to the house in close-up. Carol says, ”Can this be the plank mentioned in the note?” Look at the plank again. Carol says ”It looks like it’s loose at the top, but I can’t reach there.” After backing out of the close up of the plank, there is a gear wheel icon on it. Use the ladder on the gear wheel on the plank. Climb the ladder by clicking the up-arrow on it.

Thanks. Hope this works so I can finish. I'm going to go back and start with the first of the Carol Reed games and work my way through all eight again.
