They didn't say they read the instructions. The instructions are coded in his DNA.

Can I recommend that you leave the pilot light lit next summer? Either that or get them to show you how they did it.

I'll probably leave it lit but you'd be surprised the heat that still comes out of it...it's really hard to cool my place in the summer so it makes a big difference when it's on.

But they'll probably give me the rundown!

Should have just used a pole saw. It's a lot safer.

pole saw ≠ power tools


Not the kind I can get accesss to anyhow. chainsaw + tiptoes == lazy + (diminished capacity)|(increased appetite)/risk. Plus, turned out ok.

Not really, I did assess the risk, and I thought it was inside the edge of my capabilites, turns out it was. I took a shortcut, it worked out.
