Spouse persuaded me to help drape a tarp over an absent neighbor's leaky roof. We're both about threescore and ten, which is Nature's way of saying "stay on the ground, fool." But there turned out to be no way to do it without going into the house and out a 2nd-story window into the roof -- and this neighbor is a hoarder. OMG. Crawling around the wet mossy roof was bad, but navigating the house was worse. If you're a hoarder, get help, you need it.

@ImagineThat Wow congratulations you have more guts than me 🤣I'm 75 and banned from using ladders I couldn't have even attempted that. Your neighbor is lucky to have you as a neighbor
@ImagineThat ugh - my condolences
@NorthernInvader Neighbor is lucky to have my spouse as a friend. I had to be persuaded. I don't want to be a dick, but neighbor has two houses, one in a pricy part of CA and one here, and both are almost uninhabitable due to their hoarding. Plus they're an antivaxxer. So it takes real persuasion to get my finger off the "Not my problem/God helps those...." button.
