Buzzard's roost

I had a project today that required renting a 40' ladder just to get up to work. Apparently the sight of an old man up in such a precarious situation looked like possible easy pickins for buzzards. They swooped to within 30' and remained watching for hours. I showed them.

Tom, I was there to install screens on the fireplace flues to keep out birds/bats. There are 4 fireplaces with 11 flues. Other then sealing hairline cracks I spotted on the slates, I didn't have much to do with them. I assume they were slate 2.0 because they had the plastic underlayment, but they were direct-nailed and didn't use the hanger/hooks I usually associate with Slate 2.0.

It's barely walkable, (if that)....That stuff still going on? It's been ten yrs or more since we put one on.

They were waiting and watching too see if the hunk of wywoody tartare was rotten enough to gag a vulture. :laugh: :laugh: B) :) :) B) Deep Down In Florida Where The Sun Shines Damn Near Every Day

Those suckers are annoying. ( The buzzards and roofs of 40 feet in height )

I was doing 80 mph on the freeway a while back when I encountered about 10 huge buzzards eating road kill right in the middle of the 6 lane freeway.

Four of them went left, Five went right and the last one also went right. Right up into my grill that is. $300 for a new grill, $700 for the radiator. :woohoo:

GSD, the roof has Slate 2.0 on it, I didn't know if that stuff was walkable. I still don't know, I did kind of a crawl-scoot that could have looked like half-dead prey.

You must have been just laying up there. They must have thought you were dead.
