Seems like the door past your legs is really small. It's not the only entrance, is it? Gonna need some serious Ikea flat-pack furnishings up in there if so.

Yeah, predicted to drop to 10 degrees plus 35mph winds tonight in my part of VA (and I broke the drat zipper on my drat coat today ). Since usually it's in the 40s/50s here when New England is getting snow, I assume it's probably cold enough to gel gasoline up there tonight.

Well, now I have a mental image of a house writhing down the street with a lovely giant chimney and various sections of different color shingles, the walls tilting steeply outward at the bottoms with first-floor windows three inches off the ground, and Hellaflush and shocker stickers all over an oversize leaky Ebay skylight being used as a picture window for the no-permits breakfast nook and garret installed off the upstairs half-bath.

A clamp frame that holds it top and bottom, attached to a pair of ropes that run from some weights through a couple of bent rebar stakes, up through a pair of pulleys hung from the gable hook, and down to a ratcheting winch. Put a couple of skateboard wheels on the house side of the frame if needed. That's a one-man setup that would just take some rope, some 2x4s, a couple pieces of rebar, a 2-channel pulley and a comealong winch, and random demo/auto debris for the weighted end of the ropes.

It's a shame your vehicles are all hosed, because you could build a work deck with some ratchet straps and a board or three across the roofs of two jeeps nose to nose.

gently caress the haters, I think that's a pretty good solution. I probably would've tried to get a rail on the far side but overall it looks effective with no excess.

kastein posted:I had more to worry about than falling off the sides, like falling down the drat thing. Railings? I figured you had climbed the ladder slowly and humped it cleat to cleat up the ramp from the ladder side, I just meant a rail to keep it from pitching over the far side. Instead you did it the harder way.
