I can't watch, yet I have to keep checking. He's on the roof, attempting to put a liner down one of the chimneys. He's working from the back of the house, so I can't see what ladder he's using, but it isn't one of those that has hooks that go over the ridge tiles. The liner isn't going down very easily, and at one point he was standing on the ridge and holding on to the TV aerial with one hand. He's done an awful lot of DIY over the decades, but so also did a former colleague of my husband. That colleague had done up a couple of houses but fell off a roof and will probably never walk painlessly again. I think I'll have to draw the curtains and hope there'll be no blues-and-twos. Oh, I sympathise! Dave-over-the-road walks about the rooftops here like a tom cat on the prowl and never holds onto anything at all. I flee downstairs and sit in the back garden waiting for the scream and crash. Have you taken a photo? I would relish a bit of 'oh dear' myself having sneezed untowards and then yelled and have that awful kind of back twnge that only stops hurting when I am standing up. Like at the sink.... 8((( LdB Subject  Eeek! The DIY-er opposite is on the roof!  Re: Eeek! The DIY-er opposite is on the roof!  Re: Eeek! The DIY-er opposite is on the roof!  Re: Eeek!
