I’ve been doing “Handyman” work for about 2 years now and I feel like I always encounter a new problem or come across a project that requires some creativity and ingenuity. That is one of the things I love about this stuff.
Currently, I’m replacing the cedar siding on the dormers and the chimney on a large log cabin here in the Ozarks.
The puzzle I’m trying to solve is how can I get to the siding that is on the other side of the chimney (you can see how faded it is in pictures) and get to that side of the chimney itself semi safely and without any special equipment or anything?? I’ve screwed some 2 by 4 s into the roof and started making a hillbilly lumber ladder but I’m not sure that I want to do this on the other side where I’m most concerned with access. I figured I’d check with my friends on here and see what you guys would do… thanks in advance and I will document the process, whatever I decide to do, in case someone else has this problem in the future!
