Spinning all the plates
I remember my mum saying “There’s not enough time in the day!” when I was growing up. I always just looked at her, thinking what a ridiculous phrase that was. There were 24 hours in a day, how was that not a long time? As a child, the days seemed terribly long. Especially days that consisted of both maths and PE!

Collaborative Post¦ When it comes to roofing, it is important to have the best ladder for the job. Roofing is one of the jobs where you need plenty of height from your equipment and it is the ladder that should provide it. This article will consider just what a roofer should expect from their ladder in terms of portability, durability, and safety. We shall begin with the Telescoping Ladder and then look at other things that we should expect from a workable and safe ladder.
