No visits from your helper anytime soon?

Yes, he's due for a visit, but I try to limit what I ask of him to turtle/tortoise related tasks.

 

[Yvonne G]

It might be cheaper and even safer to hire someone with their own set to do it for you. I think you still need ladders to get on and off the platform - bit scary!!

I don't know how to go about finding someone to hire.

Yes, I do too, along with a snow rake, but in order to reach the roof I need to get up 10' off the ground.

Could try something like Thumbtack or Angie's list


The scaffolding is much heavier than a ladder (I'd assume you're using aluminum), and would need another person to help set up and move it.

Ok...I had a thought...I was talking to Y about my strange tulips, and she said I was supposed to dig up the bulbs and "{let them rest over winter, I have several other bulb types you are supposed to "let them rest over winter". We hibernate our tortoises to "let them rest over winter" somebody needs to invent a chamber that we can get in and the quick freeze us like in the old Flash Gordon series so people like me could "rest over winter" if plants and animals can do it...my third last ex-husband certainly would fit the criteria

My grandmother grows arum lilies, or varkore, which means pig ears, because they look like pig ears.
(Couldn't find an image so this is an example from the internet)
She has yellow ones and dark purple ones. By the end of summer she'll remove hundreds of bulbs and store them in the winter

Maybe she just needs cleaned out. Kind of Like you would do for a prep before a colonoscopy only Tortoise digestive cleansing ways and. .i know how stupid that sounds but it actually helped me with the microscopic colitis that I have. Maybe she has microscopic issues from her past and flushing her system would get rid of a lot of that. Enough for her immunities to take over and win.

There is stuff you can get to restore a torts gut flora if it could be something like that, but I don't know what it is - I've read it in a post by zovick.

My local pub has that sign outside too - made me smile!

Any road workmen about? You could ask if any of them wanted to earn a few extra .
It wouldn't take them long to blow the leaves off.

Good morning all (Don't think anyone's in the afternoon yet).
We have a very bright and sunny start to the day here - a good day for drying washing.
What an exciting life I lead!!!
I hope your day is as good, if not better than mine!!

Thanks, Cameron. I'd never heard of Thumbtack.

Ok, so help me remember. . .

I have to clean the leaves off my garage roo f - metal building, metal roof, metal+wet leaves= rusty roof. This means leaning a ladder up against the garage and climbing up about 10' in order to reach the top of the roof. This is not something I'm interested in doing at my age. So I want you all to help me remember what that device is called that painters use. It's got two support thingeys on either side spaced apart with a platform between them that you stand on. I need to know the name so I can ask my friend Amazon if they sell it. If not, I'm sure Harbor Freight probably does. What is it?

(I'm sure you remember, but for safety don't forget @Yvonne G )

I felt springy today and had to just get out a bit so I went to the grocery store . My right leg around the calf has been hurting so I just rode around in one of their motorized shopping carts. It was fun. Bought some stuff I shouldn't be eating because of all the spices but I don't do it often. Shopped in the dishes section and closeout deals. I enjoyed it to the hilt even though I hate wasting time
