A story in pictures...

In honor of my brother - who made a wildly inappropriate comment regarding Saturday's post - tonight's installment comes to you in the form of a story in pictures.

What is Grace so concerned about?

That doesn't look too dangerous or scary....


Wait a minute - back up a bit.....

Oh, I see......

I do my own stunts folks! It's all smoke and mirrors. Although I could never convince Grace of it, it wasn't really all that precarious. The only danger was to my rear end which sustained a couple of wedge shaped indentations - one on the left cheek, one on the right. (Sorry, no pictures...)

We have safely installed our barge rafter (that's the one that sticks out beyond the wall - it's two feet out.) A ladder of lookouts supports it - and gave me something to climb and sit on...

It looks perfectly safe to me. Three points of contact at all times. Two cheeks and one hand.

On a side note, in Ontario if you are working on your own place, they cannot enforce any safety rules as long as you don't put anyone else in danger. So, no ropes, helmet or safety boots required. Just make sure Grace stands clear so you don't land on her!

I'm pretty sure that here in the land of the free and the home of the brave you can pretty much do what you want/how you want on your own place too - a little common sense wouldn't hurt though... (Grace is my safety net...)
