An unusual chore, part four

Aching all over today, no thanks to the unergonomic working condition yesterday. Let's not forget it's also rather stressful, what with being on the tiny ledge eighteen stories from ground.

Yes, I am out on that bloody ledge again, way too soon since the previous excursion, no thanks to the darn pigeons hell-bent on making their nest there.

Goodness knows how they got through the net, our best guess is the tiny gap on one side of the wall, which we think they could squeeze through if they are really determined.

Regardless of whether it's determination or pigheadedness, two pigeons got themselves trapped on the wrong side of the net on the eighteen floor ledge, unable to get back out because the curvature of the net we put up makes the gap behaves like a one way trap.

Last thing we need is two pigheaded pigeon starved to death leaving their stinking corpses on the ledge. No thank you.

Wifey and neighbour caught and released the pigeons while I was at work. I probably would have tried to open up the net to let them out instead of trying to catch them. No complaints though, gone is gone.

Anyway, went out onto the ledge with additional net to patch up the gap. Nailed the net to the wall on the side as well so even if the pigeons are still pigheaded enough to try the stunt again, the net should not open a gap like a one way trap anymore.

Took me around 45 minutes, but I am thoroughly drained after that. Some serious exhaustion kicked in, mentally and physically. So ya, I am aching all over today.

I said this less than two months ago: let's hope I don't have to do this again anytime soon.
