No. I do not have the right tools to do it but my gardener is bringing his on Monday and he will do it for me - at least they won't fall come loose if he does it. :D
Is it a wifey thing? Mine is always putting stuff on top of other stuff and then saying she has lost it.
I leave things out in plain sight that are important and she keeps telling me I am untidy! But when she loses stuff it is always me who finds it, e.g. a gardening knife that she had left in her car, right in front of the gear stick(?????)
 
Today has been a little less successful than I would have liked but never mind. ;)
I have Moved the scaffold tower 4 times in order to get things done that needed to be done.
I have also now taken the very top section of the scaffold tower off completely as I am now working below-eaves height.
The wood-butchered bits that were undercoated yesterday have a coat of gloss on them at last.
The gutter has been cleared out and the slipped tile repositioned.
The soffits under the gable on either side have been cleaned up and given a coat of undercoat.
What is really slowing everything down is the need to wait 16 hours between coats. Its as boring as err.... watching paint dry. ;)
The corbels that support the gable have been washed and scraped and undercoat applied to any bare wood (gloss them tomorrow I hope).
I am totally frazzled. :(
I hope your day's have all gone better than this. :D

Good Morning All :D
I am up early (for a Sunday) in the hopes of getting up my scaffold-tower and the under-eaves soffit and corbel on the LH-Side glossed up before the neighbour gets out there with their pressure washer on their walls spraying clouds of mist everywhere.:(
This will be the very last time that I really need to be on top of the scaffold tower; all the rest can be done from a ladder. :D
Last day of the Scaffold Hire tomorrow, so it has worked out quite well for me I think. :)
Anyway, must dash, see you all later.
You all have a lovely day. :D
 
The lawn has been shorn. :D
I also popped to the tip with some recycling and then to B&Q to pick up some hinges for me noo solar panel frame legs and while I was there I picked up a cheapie 12A 12V battery charger.
I can tell you're eager to see me noo panels, so here they are... all 240watts

It's not going to power me house but it does run me pooter system and lights in the pooter room (2nd bedroom). :)
