As long as you are not in a hurry and get enough for it it is all good. I would set some scaffold along the bottom of the valleys to have something to stand on and to hold my materials.>>>

It's Darwinism, by the time you're 41 many of those "No Fear" guys aren't still around. Only the real cautious make it to 57.

I'm 55 and I will be finishing converting all the valleys from closed to open on this estate. It's 10/12 and taken about 10 days. I feel it in my lower back, but get limpered up with Ibupropin. I've had ropes everywhere needed, but it's a pain to make that many temporary safety tie downs.>>>
