 ::) I worked today If I thought it would be dangerous I would not have, all in all it slowed me done by about a third, but better than sitting looking at blue sky out the window ;)

In the past when working with a ladder I,ve found that I began to feel unsafe when the wind was gusting to 20mph. One unexpected gust at that speed was enought to knock me and the ladders sideways across a wall, and I'm no lightwieght.

right up until november 2006 i was doing slightly less stupid manouveres on a daily basis((never swung on guttering tho,what the hell is it made of in holland ??? titanium ?) walking along porch roofs climbing up to do dormers and velux, stepping from one porch to next etc ,then one day it happened and while walking across a porch roof like i had many times before i slipped :o luckily i got off with a bruised hip and thigh and torn fingernails where i grabbed the tiles to stop me falling off.That was enough to get me looking at wfp.I still do ladder work now and then but i will never run around on rooftops again like i did before.The bloke must do that free climbing or something
