careful, i had an ex father in law, ex army who at 86, climbed up on a shed roof to change a light bulb. he missed the ladder coming off the shed and fell 6'. a broke hip and bruised pride later, he decided to let someone else do it. my grandpa is 95 and just took a 6000 pound surface grinder apart cuz no one wanted to come get it due to size. he got down to frame, 2000lbs, and him and his 85 year old buddy had built a ramp to push it up on a trailer. luckily i happened to come by. he finally decided that at 95 he is to old to be farting around w/ so many projects. god bless em. they came from a different time where you did it yourself and took care of your own.
