    Here we go.



    And from the top. Gable metal, so no where to bungy the ladder to keep it from sliding off at the slightest gust of wind. Oh the things we do for money.

    *IF* I made it the top of the ladder, there's no way my body would let me transition to the roof. Nope. No chance, no way. Not gonna' happen.

    Watch some vids. But also get some flat plate and practice welding them together. Butt, angle, vertical. Basic stuff that if practiced long enough become a passing thought. Then cut it in half to see how good or bad each weld penetrated.

    You might consider a CC intro to welding class at night.

    Most people can get onto the roof okay, it's the transition off that's difficult.

    I've cut one practice piece, and even bought some Naval Jelly, but my prep wasn't good enough to see the weld nugget penetration. I can see where I have a tiny gap in the corner though, so know I can do better. I also need to make an extension cord with the proper plugs to use the 220.

    I've watched some Welding Tips and Tricks on YouTube, but that was back when I had more time.

    Googly eyes are an upgrade for many things.

    And that's how rabbit holes begin online.

    PS: Don't, for the love of $#$%, search for rabbit holes.

    BC has been rather quiet for a few days ... suppose a cabinet fell & trapped him in the archives?
