Well done mate, chuffed for you.

 

Impressive recuperative powers for sure!

 

Nice job as well, always enjoy the ones where you have to think a bit.

Probably because I overprice them....

Cheers dude, that's hugely appreciated. Still sorely lacking in grip strength in both hands (my wife had to take the lid off a jar for me the other day...), but weeks of lifting weights, sit ups, chin ups and the exercise bike paid off. It'll be a while before I've got full range of motion in the left wrist, and I need to focus on the ligament damage in my left knee, but I'm on the home straight for sure.

 

The job was a blast... stand looking up at the thing on the ground, make a plan, get up there and poke around a bit, fine tune the intentions with the benefit of a different perspective... then crack on. I'm hooked.

We are dismantling a silver birch in someone's garden tomorrow, sounds a bit more simple but I guess you never know until you get there?

I see you moving around a bit gingerly in the vid.

 

Dont push it, though I’m sure they told you to keep moving.
