After my coffee in the sun I noticed my shed covering was blowing loose.
It went overcast and was about to rain.
Like me the shed is on its last legs so I had to be careful.
I devised a plan, get my step ladder, then trim a old walking pole to have a flat edge (to hold glue) so I could reach over and put glue on the flap.
There was only one tool for the job my Ukranian knife sent to me by
Jack Black
My hands are fortnightly (to weak) so I couldnt do it with cuts,no bother I chopped.
Look at how neat a job it did,superb stuff and no sign of wear on the blade.
If you havent got one of their knives you should.
My glue was like treacle and wouldnt flow well,but that was good as it should set quicker.
Up and down the ladder a few times puffing like a train with the dodgy ticker.
When I had enough glue on it I fetched a "Dutch Ho" (no not what you are thinking) and flipped the cover back and gently smoothed it down.
I also got to use some of my favourite tools like the Opinel saw and knippex pliers.
10 minutes after I cleaned all my tools and put them away it rained.
