I would never do layer 0 stuff by hand. Look at the Empty Mansion. There's a room full of windows/arches/jail cells in layer 0. Just use the selection tool, copy, and paste into your room. :-)
Same thing for ladders, vines, etc. Check out the various rooms for this purpose in Empty mansion.
@Vern: As good + helpful as it is that these things are there to be copied, I have hardly ever used them....for several reasons:
1. For vines and ladders etc. .... I usually want every ladder etc. to look a bit different from the last one, so I'm reluctant to just copy and paste the same one again.... it takes longer, but makes the rooms a bit 'different' and more 'realistic'.
2. As far as backgrounds are concerned, the windows I did use on a few occasions, but usually I do try to create
new thingsin the background too, and it's always a lot of trial & error while choosing the right tiles.
Therefore I can only beg with you, while you're at it...please do make the tiles area also bigger, not just the sprites area (as in the picture above) !!!
