My naughty hubby

aged 87 up there on the roof of the garage replacing a module - a rain gauge! He was very careful but I stood below dreading a slip or a fall! Fortunately it didn't happen - unlike the ladder fall 2 years ago.
Thankful for:
His confidence and careful planning!

@brigette Very apt mojo's - in other words, do not tell anyone!

[Mags]

A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. =)

[CC Folk]

Naughty husband...glad he was successful and got down okay!

[judith deacon]

Obviously only 87 chronologically, 21 physically! I would have been having kittens if I were you though!

[Mickey Anderson]

Get er done!!! Great shot.

[katy]

Wow! Planning can make all the difference! Very impressive, John!

[Kate]

Boys will be boys!

[Julie Duncan]

Oh, geez! I can relate though. My aged 69 husband is up on scaffolding all summer replacing our 2nd story windows and insulating the house. I live in FEAR! He's saving us money, but I'd MUCH rather pay to have it done and know he's safe. Ah well! What are we going to do with our stubborn men?

[Harry J Benson]

Just be carful!

[Diana]

You can be proud of your man, mine is not able to fix anything ;-)

[Beryl Lloyd]

Men will be heros at whatever age - I can imagine how fearful you must have been , or have you taken the ladders away and left him up there !! ( only guesting Maggie )!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Can you tell him off from me as well, naughty 87 year old.

[Pat Knowles]

Wow John has guts...mind you he’s a fit chap....was that ladder incident two years ago, wow! Good to see him up there doing his own repairs...it only takes one slip though! Thank goodness he lived to tell another tale!

[Shepherdman]

We have a documentary about life in A&E over here. Gentlemen of a certain age who climb ladders seems to keep them busy....

[Maggiemae]

@shepherdman Exactly! We have the same statistics. Of course some guys don't take safe measures.

[Maggiemae]

@happypat We were humming at the time, Pat, "James, James hold the ladder steady'!

[Maggiemae]

@beryl He'd been up there before to take the rain gauge down to test it, Beryl - that's when I was really nervous!

[Maggiemae]

@juliedduncan Mine is really stubborn - the more you say, You can't do that!' the more he is determined!

[leggzy]

Omgoodness! He is very brave. My dad just turned 87 & he would not be able to do this.

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn He went up the roof slope on his knees and slid down on the way to the ground, Katy!

[Babs]

Wow rather him than me. You can't tell them sometimes can you.

[Dawn]

Mmmm yes agree with you Maggiemae quite a concern , my mum is 93 and climbs ladders !!
We my sis and self have said stop but falls on deaf ears .

[Maggiemae]

@Dawn Remove all ladders immediately! At that age and my hubby's they don't have the strong balancing muscles that would save them if they slipped!

[Dawn]

@maggiemae it’s been done however she finds other ways !
It makes no difference to what she gets told at times quite Naughty 👿

[Issi Bannerman]

Good lord. He's naughty, right enough!!!

[Valerie Chesney]

Oh Yes,,, Very naughty...Sooooo pleased all turned out well..

[Maggiemae]

@Dawn She might be like me - doesn't like to be told what to do!

[Maggiemae]

@happysnaps Ladder escapades have amounted to a huge percentage of accidents everywhere!

[Denise Wood]

Naughty, naughty boy!!!!

[Dawn]

@maggiemae lol 100% correct.

[Maggiemae]

@gilbertwood Your words were once equalled by a smack on the you-know-where!

[haskar]

I know how much satisfaction it brought him. But how much trouble and suffering it would cause you if something went wrong. But guys think differently.

[Lou Ann]

Oh my. Well I’m so impressed he even got up there! I know you were scared.

[katy]

@maggiemae It still sounds scary!

[Ann H. LeFevre]

They grow up and grow old but their minds always think they're 17. So glad there were no mishaps!!
