Doc: "When?"
Me: "When I'm climbing a ladder."
Doc (incredulously) "What are you doing on a ladder at YOUR age?"
Me: "It is the only way I can get to the roof."

I had a good laugh at your post being 75. Back when I was 75 I installed my own metal roof on my home.No way was I about to pay someone $12,000 for something I could do on my own. OK it took me two weeks to get it done. The total cost was only $2100 for all of the materials. Now here I am at 78 and I can't even think about using the ladder to get on the roof. Thank God I did this back when I was younger.
