Tying a plank onto a roof rack.

I read that as “trying to plank on a roof rack” – strange exercise regime?!

I’m liking the bird box idea, nice one.

And what’s this ‘risk assessment’ of which you speak? 🙂

Ladder safety.

The amount of DIY people I see using ladders dangerously is frightening.

I have a ladder card.

I have done a ladder users course.

At no point during the course do you go up a ladder!

I had to do a “working at heights” course at work once, despite the limit of me working at heights would be turning up in thick socks.

Today I helped my son source some bits from B&Q, using wood, cable clips, saws, drills and sandpaper turn a wooden smartphone stand into a charging iPhone stand with the plug sticking up from the bottom permanently to charge it.  Cost £3.83 which is irrelavant compared to the awesome time we’ve had together using tools.
