I could when it was back at the Lake, I could step up on to it from the house roof.... I don't have a ladder long enough to get up on the roof now it's in Mannum. Certainly don't have a ladder long enough to get on the workshop roof, no idea how I'm going to put solar on either of them, possibly with the bus in the workshop and the crane... but the workshop :shock:

Terry, can you drive the bus into the workshop and work from the mezzanine ?

I thought that was one of the brilliant parts of the workshop.

A platform on the forklift is the easiest Terry, I have a mezzanine beside the Oka which is sitting on a four post hoist but the gap between the two is a worry ;-))) Remember too that the highest number of accidents with older folk is ladders.
Had friend that used a scissor lift but they don't take kindly to canterlevered platforms off the side where a forklift with reach and sideshift works well, just need Margaret to operate it ;-)))

Probably can with a some expert driving, you available Dottie ;) :lol:

Unpacked half the truck today, well with a lot of help anyway. Needed to get to 2 boxes that were naturally at the bottom and right up the front, Murphy can be so unkind sometimes. No doubt now I have the bits I needed the others will suddenly appear making the whole exercise un necessary in the rain and when time is not on my side.

That's what I reckon, but some cruel people suggest I don't throw anything out ;) Margaret has been having a great time throwing all my good stuff out while I'm not there, or cashing it in at the metal recyclers and buying honey bourbon, then ringing me to tell me how good it tastes :cry:
