Spent time in the shop this morning crafting some sturdy leg extensions for my step ladder and Little Giant so that the ladders will sit fairly level on the significant side hill that exists between the barn foundation and our driveway.  Obviously, should have done that little project years ago!  Over the next week will be working high off the ground on planking running between those two ladders and the Kubota’s work platform… and have already taken one swan dive too many off a ladder this summer.  Then, using said planking, Chree helped me put up the rest of the Slicker^® on the barn’s north wall.  Rain showers off and on all day.  With a two foot roof overhang, working was not too miserable except when I leaned over and stuck my rear end out past the drip line.  Now that will get your attention!  By quitting time, another 17 square feet of shingles were permanently attached to the north wall.
