Happy Accident...or The Little People?

[gness]

I know that I have little invisible people.....leprechauns I suppose... who help me out of sticky situations.
I have been really struggling to find a way to cove the high bit of landing above the stairs.
My step ladders were too short and the outdoor ladders too long....I decided to give the big ladder another go today and in my frustration at how long it was I hoiked too hard....

The ladder shot through the attic hatch and stuck....It hasn't done much for the hatch which needs repainting now but when I climbed to rescue it I spotted the forgotten loft ladder.

I dismantled it and it is brilliant....lots of positions...a handle at the side to steady me and the awkward bit of ceiling is coved! It was perfect. I was confident enough to have a little glass of wine part way through.

So you could say the happy accident sent the ladder through the hatch but I know that it was the little people helping.....☺☺☺

Bar priming and painting, Tony....but that's easy now....x

Is that a job for tomorrow then, gness.

[DTCwordfan]

Just think how Michelangelo felt and he didn't have leprechauns helping him......

[tonyav]

Yes but Gods second in command ( on earth ) helped him though, DT !.

well done gnessie xdeex

[gness]

Well....I have a strange visitor tomorrow.....I think I shall have to have my wits about me.....or a loaded paintbrush...and it's pensioner's day at B&Q and I need paint....

Bet he didn't use Dulux, DT...x

Hi, Dee.....are you well?

[tonyav]

Your visitor is strange or the visit is strange, gness ?.

[DTCwordfan]

Did he use Durex though, gness, or had Pope Julius II banned them back then, when he had commissioned the 'painting'?

[Psybbo]

Off to get those disobedient leprechauns on the right track again, goodnight all xx

[DTCwordfan]

I think one of those steam machines for cleaning carpets should be used, Psybbs - ear blockages wouldn't last that long with one of them......

[DaisyNonna]

Don't think the Australian equivalent of sellotape existed then DT

[twofeathers]

[gness]

Oh, Twofeathers...that is so apt...I actually considered chopping two feet off the long ladder before I found the loft ladder.....☺☺

[shoota]

If you cut two feet off, what would it stand on?

[DTCwordfan]

Her shoulders, shoota........

[gness]

Shoota...even I know one would cut the two feet from the middle...x

[murraymints]

I don't have little people..I have a Mr nobody that causes all manner of mayhem !

Little people? Do you mean your relatives? xx
