AsktheBuilder.com News - March 25, 2015

Dear ,

I was thinking of having a meet up in Antigua down in the Caribbean on May 18th.

I hear you, "Tim, what the heck are you doing down there?"

I'll be in a courtroom on May 20th testifying as an expert witness in a trial about a roofing issue at the Brazilian Embassy. I was hired by the person that owns and leases the building to the embassy.

I've done expert witness work for nearly 15 years and this is the farthest I've had to go.

Rarely does a matter make it to trial, but these two parties are locked into a cage fight.

I can't wait to see what it's like inside an Antiguan hall of justice and courtroom!

If you're in the area, let's meet up. I'll show you how to do ham radio with an antenna next to salt water.

Roofing DVD Announcement

I'm putting a new roof on my home in about four weeks.

Here's a photo of what I'm tackling. By the time I start, I won't have to shovel the snow. Mr. Sun is taking care of it the next few days.

Would you LOVE to know the questions to ask a roofer when they come over to give you a bid?

If you know the questions and the CORRECT ANSWERS, then you know what roofer is the BEST!

The DVD I'm producing will have the Questions and the Answers! It's going to show you everything you need to know.

Would you like to see how I re-roof my home so YOU can make sure your roof never leaks?

Maggie's Broken Finger

Maggie is a subscriber and lives near me here in NH. I saw her at a home show two weeks ago sporting a green cast on her hand.

She broke her finger while using an extension ladder to remove snow from her roof.

Maggie's a nurse and knew what to do and what not to do once the accident happened.

My job is to try to help you to know what to do and what NOT to do when using an extension ladder so you don't have a cast on your hand or arm. 

Extension ladders are crude guillotines. When you lift the upper section up in the air you load it with all sorts of potential energy.

If the upper section DROPS rapidly because you're allowing it to or it slips and your hand, fingers, feet or thumbs are where the moving section is descending, bad bad jujumagumbo can and will happen.

In all the years of me using extension ladders I never had an injury because I was always making sure the ladder was nearly straight up and down and well balanced as I moved the upper section up and down.

Doing this meant that I never had to GRASP THE SIDES of the ladder to hold it while the upper section retracted. Doing that puts your fingers very close to the moving section.

Before I ever started to allow the upper section to come down, I thought long and hard about where my fingers and hands were and got them as far away as possible from the moving section.

Extension ladders have all sorts of other dangers and I could devote an entire issue to ladder safety.

If you want more ladder safety tips, I suggest you just spend time at ladder manufacturer websites and take their online courses.
