[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 6626708, member: 2119"] In the 1950's my uncle climbed a wooden ladder with the end of a 20 foot A frame on his shoulder, got to the top and bolted it to the column while father and grandad steadied it from toppling with ropes from the ground. He had to do this 16 times to put the hay shed roof up. When I look at that roof today, 70 years on, it makes me feel self indulgent to complain about anything I have to do. He also smoked 20 a day, ate all the wrong things but lived a very active and productive life till he was seventy. He was hard working, tidy, particular and didn't stand for any fooling about. It all seemed to go wrong about the same time as flared trousers came out. Too much of the wrong sort of education or something. [/QUOTE]
