Wednesday's Work

When we last left Our Fuzz, he was still lacking the two edge strips.
The uphill side was handled from a step ladder. But this downhill side was another matter. It was too high to reach from the stepladder. It could be reached from this "real ladder", but there was a problem. The 1x4 (B) needed to be fastened at the edge (A). But the ladder was needed to reach this. And once the 1x4 was installed, it would be impossible to remove the ladder, since it was too long and would bind when the bottom was pulled away.
The Fuzz handled this by temporarily screwing a piece of scrap to the ends of to of the rafter extensions. This enabled him to get the first two screws into the 1x4. Once this was done, it was just a mater of working his way along the rest of the eave, since the 1x4 would now support the ladder. (where screwed down)
After this, it was just a matter of screwing down the tin. He had to work carefully up there, but be sundown here's where things stood.
