Since I placed the kid gloves on, things have been rolling here. Today for example.
I purchased a small pop-up caravan a number of years ago, with the intention of going for a proper "Wander", focusing on my training and what not. Aside from what was occurring (elsewhere) drama was arising from multiple avenues here as well. One such, was this caravan I mentioned seeming to sustain damage. Being a sensible bloke, I contacted the place/company that made it, and they sent out a manager and their main repair gent. I was informed the mechanism was broken, placing the roof down would be impossible, and my only recourse was to drive as slow as possible to the repair shop, while praying a gust of wind didn't come along and rip the roof stright off.
Today, with the help of some bad language, a touch of force and some more colourful language, my aunts partner and myself got the roof down, sealed and moved the (fucking) thing out of my driveway. After a victory roar, he said something to me I well thought sharing.
Me - So much for the professionals opinion.
"Here's the thing about experts. They read and study the one thing, declare themselves "experts", and decree such and such is the way things are done. Where as you and me - we know we are not. We tried different things, experimented, fiddled and stuffed with it until we made it work. Its like turning on a tap - drip drip drip - put your finger on it tho, introduce an "X" factor, and suddenly the waters spurting around in a crazy fashion"
And no, after a watching a youtube clip and locating the aforementioned mechanism, it is not "broken".
