By which I mean yes, I AM using my van as scaffolding.
… look, unlike a ladder, my van will. Not. Fall. Over.
I got a sheet of plywood over the front of the roof with fairly minimal stress (& some assistance from my roommate), but I was hoping I’d be able to climb from the van roof to the tinker’s wagon roof & nope, the height difference is just too much.
… but it was a start.
The next step was to pull the van very close to the SIDE of the tinker’s wagon & work from there, with Inoru standing nearby to call 911 if necessary (& take pics of course).
BEST IDEA no i have NOT shown these pictures to my mom
… but hey, it’s starting to resemble a roof!
In a patchwork sort of way, because you can’t, alas, buy 4×10 sheets of plywood.
(pause while Jasper finds somewhere I can order 4×10 sheets of plywood)
It is not ENTIRELY roof yet but it is LOTS roof!
Next up? MORE ROOF
(turns out you CAN buy 4×10 sheets of plywood MY BAD)

If you want to see these posts sooner, & not incidentally help support me & my cats in our travels & such, the way to do that is to sign up as one of my Patrons for as little as a buck a month.
I’d REALLY like that.

Umm, once you git ‘er dun, you might try a high-speed road test in the area to make sure your wagon is road-worthy before the few hundred miles to Phoenix, just so you can repair and mod in case some gremlins got in and did some sabotage. I’m sure you already planned that.
