I must be mad....Guttering!
« on: 20 August 2009, 15:20:08 »
Replacing the guttering on my house due to incessant nagging from the G/F.

30 foot up,i'm scared of heights, it's raining and quite windy.

If i'm not back on by 6 o'clock then it's likely I have redecorated my back yard with my face [smiley=smiley_down.gif].

It's been nice knowing you all just in case.

Pay someone else to do it! They can have it done while you're working out  your best plan of attack!  :y  :y

Remember  ..... it's not the fall that hurts, it's the sudden stop at the bottom!!  :o  :o

Absolutely right!! :y :y

A) you should not be up a ladder in windy conditions and B) you should at least have someone holding the ladder!! :o :o :( :( ;)

Your joking arnt you, the little toerags from next door are a pain but the broken glass ontop of the wall has kept them out for a while now. The shooting 2 doors down has hampered my attempts at getting new students this year ::)

You're not allowed to do that now. Someone may cut themself. And before you laugh, it's true. Mind you dont get sued by the poor unfortunate child that you intentionally maim, you uncaring swine.

i'd tell the g/f if it bothers her that much you replace it, or i'll trade you in for a less nagging verison.

Well despite me not adhering to your health and safety advice I have indeed survived! although I did touch cloth :o at one point due to a heavy gust of wind.

I made GF hold the ladder when she came in, seems not to have made the connection that I had to go up to the gutters and not them come down to me!

Had a quote of £350 to replace them and only cost me £58 to do it myself.


Bizzarely I found a golf club in one of the gutters, completely mystified as to how it got there but i'm sure there are going to be a few suggestions from your good selves.
