a bit dusty and not much food
I half fell back down
I dragged a ladder in and sorted the aerial issues, also prepped the wall ready for paint.. not sure tonight would be a good idea but it will get painted this week
Going up and down a ladder is a 2-hands/2-shoulders gig. Example.
I was contemplating installing 300mm plastic pigeon spike repellers on 3 sides of a cabin/gazebo roof. 4m x 7m x 4m. In the delay before the roof went on, bastards used to perch on the open roof joists and shit all over the place. Woke in the early hours wondering how to proceed. Silicon gun each piece then cart up the ladder to fix in place? (No, way too messy and slow). In the end I planned to apply the bead of silicon to the top of the face boards, parking silicon gun and box of repeller strips on the (flat) roof. So able to use both hands climbing the ladder. Thought probably I could fix 4 x 300mm strips, two each side, before moving the ladder along then repeat. (Though that itself would need both shoulders working!)
Management told me to send the spikes back for a refund.
Now the roof is on they can only perch on the raised edges tails down ready to shit admittedly but facing inward and looking out at the flat roof. Which they don't do. By reason of their tails they can only perch that way round but would thus lose the near "bird's eye" view of the ground in front of them. So they won't do it
Yes you are
I can slide my right up the ladder as most of the work is feet.
Playing hide from the dog I hopped round a wall and the shoulder went on red alert from a minor bump
Physio tells me in 2 years it will heal itself. Great. Not slept for >2hrs stretch since Feb. It is nowhere near as sore as it used to be but still solidly bad and can be 10/10 if I bump it on stuff
anyway, next is shed gutter
