Not ideal

Getting ready to screen in this area (I’m standing where there used to be a roof, but we’re keeping this open - it all fell down long before we moved here - for a couple of specific future projects). Up a ladder to fix this broken bit of guttering, that I thought was metal but… it appears to be asbestos (at least in part). 

Not an issue until you try cutting it in the dry. But I’m not taking any chances and will instead use a plastic guttering sticking plaster until such time as we can get some professionals in to remove it.

Plenty other jobs to do in the meantime, so I’m not going to be sitting idle!
