Use a long rope and a stone please: don't try to climb up while holding the bucket.

My ladder is easily tall enough to get a bucket on the roof. Reaching the roof with my arms isn't a problem. There's just nothing to grab in order to hoist myself up.
Tie a rope to it and haul it up after you climb up.
I have ordered supplies. I'm going to chill out now. There's nothing more I can do about this for the next couple of days, but after today I have a right to not feel anxious about it. I did what I can. It sucked having to wait overnight to even find out how bad the damage is, but now I know.
First layer applied. It's expected to rain on Sunday so let's see how it goes.
It was easier hauling myself up and down this time. I doubt my muscles have actually grown since Monday so maybe the "Don't do this. You are going to die here." reflex is backing off and letting them do their thing with less resistance.

The rain arrived later than expected, but it's begun. The moment of truth is here.
Sorta. If it still leaks it's not the end of the world. I have another whole can of stuff to apply if needed. But so far so good.

And here I am at the end of the semester. All classes passed, all As again, though low As.
Once it's all done and confirmed, this means i'll have my bachelors degree. Criminal justice with a minor in legal studies. 2 years of being on the Presidents list, on the Dean's list every other time.
Now I have to figure out how to apply for law school and go from there. Yay, I guess?

I suspect if you did that in England, they’d somehow find a way to extend your wait time to 18 years. Not that I’d want to FAFO myself.
Probably the same in the UK, or at least England. Outpatient MH care basically doesn’t exist on the NHS any more.
It's dripping. Dang.
It's better though. I didn't accomplish enough but I can't say I accomplished nothing. It took many hours of heavy rain before the dripping started, so I don't think I totally missed a spot. Maybe I just didn't apply it thick enough. I'm disappointed but not discouraged. When it dries out I'll get back up there and go for broke.

I'm confused now.
It rained all day again, so I wasn't able to get on the roof yet. ... ... ... But it didn't leak. I have no theory.

It might be related to direct of water or wind. Next time it leaks, takes some notes.
It did have a couple days to dry, but maybe not enough. I don't know how a rainy day didn't make it worse though, unless that made it seep more deeply into the crack and form a better seal. I don't know how this stuff works. The label just said to keep the area clean and dry, and so I did, and then whatever happened happened.
I have another can of stuff, so if it's dry tomorrow I'm going to get back up there and apply another coat. If it never leaks again, I'll never know if this can made a difference, but I already paid for it so who cares.

If you can see this message I didn't die up there.
I definitely found the crack. There was one little spot where I guess the last coat seeped all the way through before drying, so there was still an opening, just narrower. There's no way that's happening this time.

So Christmas is my ex-wife's birthday. So, of course, she's spent the last few days getting drunk and belligerent. Cue a FB message I got Tuesday. Said she found more of my stuff, which she left on the porch, and that she was "shutting down this line of communication" and I could reach her via text or email if I had to talk to her, but don't. I replied, "Copy that, thank you very much"
In return I got 'hug you, you condescending prick' followed by 'you disgust me more than anyone ever has' blah blah blah. I went ahead and since she wanted to shut down the facebook communication and blocked her.
So yesterday she started messaging my girlfriend's soon to be ex husband. They're in the middle of their divorce and he has a history of physical and sexual abuse. We are hoping he's blocked her as he doesn't know who she is and all she's done so far is send him pictures of us together. Publicly available pics when we were out at my company's christmas party.
She's also sent a letter to my mother alleging all sorts of idiocy.
God it's so hugging tiresome.
She is going out of her way to try and be a jerk. That's fine when it's just sending me messages cussing me out, but now she's reaching out beyond and it's a problem.

You can't call the cops?
I meant about your ex. Her behavior is clearly harassment.
Oh. Crap. Sorry.
