Plocket & GW. Yes I am careful. Next part not so easy, I may have to sit on roof of sunroom ??? As I have put on quite a bit of weight I hope the roof is strong!!!!
I think I can reach most of it (on platform) from Lornas Jnr garden. Lorna said "Don't you dare do that part, I will do it"  but she is so busy going to work four days a week and doing her garden and housework. He He I will do it when she is at work!! Lorna.

I've got one of those Lorna - my considerate husband bought it for me to do the decorating as I'm a short a*rse  ;D.  It does trap ones fingers a tad  - a bit like Arkwright's till  ;D  I have to use a set of steps to get myself on it too  ;D

Wardy. Yes mine was bought for decorating (when Charlie was no longer able to do decorating) He was excellent at decorating but when I had to take over I told him to not look too closely. I find it brilliant for when you have to emulsion ceilings.. Much more comfortable than standing on steps. Lorna.

I hate heights and my ceilings are high  :o   When you use the ladder on the stairs you end up with an open end which you could easily walk off so you have to be dead careful.  I did a lot of decorating on it while the oH was at work so I used to keep the phone by me in case I fell off  ;D

I wish I did.  I had four 18' lengths to do on the stairs which I cut out and pasted ready.  Only problem was I pasted the 26' pieces which were left.  Boy did that make me arms ache  ;D

Wardy I am really sorry but I laughed so much my chair spun round and I nearly fell on the floor., crikey that could have been more dangerous than getting on that platform!!
