Good enough fixes

[EatenByLimestone]

Maybe 15-20 years ago I was at a yard sale and saw the head of a peavey for a couple bucks. It followed me home. I already had one at home. It got painted with some orange paint and I shaved the bark off a small tree for the handle. It hasn’t been used a ton, but the times it has, it’s done its job wonderfully. It’s a good enough fix!

What are some of yours?

Here's a real one. El Cheapo capping job for insurance. They are still there the last time I checked. Good old GE Silicon.

That’ll do it! Good idea with the foam board!

It’s temporary unless it works.

There is nothing more permanent than a temporary solution ...

I had a hard time stepping from my ladder onto my roof in the middle of the winter when the roof, right on the edge was covered in snow with ice underneath. I wanted to have a little platform that I could step onto sideways from my ladder, and then step forward onto the roof. I made a little platform that I thought would be temporary. This was a number of years ago. It still works great.

I’m hoping it’s held on by more than the plumbing strap? It’s a good idea!

I like it. Whenever I have to step back onto a ladder to go down I feel like someone should be there just in case. I try to extend the ladder
way above if I can. Remember it's removeable, so the plumbing strap is only "good enough" Probably not "good enough" for me at 235

ohhh there's screws...they are removeable too

Multiple long deck screws and lags up into the edge of the roof.

Lags are good!
