Robert2 Posted February 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2014 My house is 200 years old and the gable sunburst and scalloped shingles were rotting and falling off the gable. There was no way to access this gable with ladders so nobody painted it for a hundred years. I figured out how to safely get out there and set up eye bolts so I could come back and paint it any time in the future. I promised my wife I would do the gable instead of snowboarding. All the woodwork and painting was done on the ground, in my kitchen, then bolted up high. I had some trouble with wasps so my wife bought me a bee suit. I use rock climbing harnesses for home repair work. I didn't get any ICE is NICE ...SPEED is GOOD... adrenaline rushing in my veins last winter but I did get the same adrenaline rush every time I stepped out on the wire shelf. I learned about rock climbing and harnesses and rappelling when I needed to build the side porch 20 years ago. So I put huge eye bolts around my house and any time I need to play up real high I just step out a window and rappel. I have a 3rd floor window on the side of the house that I installed black pipe across the window frame so I can rappel out of the window. We call it a fire escape.... for adrenaline junkies. Yea. Robert2 is back. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
