Easily.
I had to do some careful measuring to start. They give you two stencils for the upper corners to begin. Those have to be an exact distance apart and level. I was going up and down a step ladder as well.

There are probably 12-15 big pieces. They require several adhesives. It’s just putzing, but the adhesive is strong so you kind of have to get it right the first time.

After the big pieces are in place, there are dozens of islands. Those each have to be gently popped out of pre-cut pieces like and old model. They each have a thin cover on the back that needs to be peeled to get to the adhesive. I futzed with many of those because I recently trimmed my nails almost to the quick. And then I’m trying to be as accurate with the placement as I can. They give you a map, but it’s tiny, so I’m putting on and taking off my wife’s cheaters constantly. I even used my phone’s map for several. It was a lot of faffing.

It’s amazing how quick they can replace a roof. They did the house across from us in one day and it’s not a small house. It has a few different pitches and angles too.

Well you can’t not have a roof for very long.

It is telling, spotlights how much faffing about happens with other construction.

My old 20kg bell is concrete filled. A while ago the seam around the handle started to go and every now and then you'd get showered with conrete dust and residue. I wrapped it with duct tape - but then noticed there's quite a substantial crack opening up around the main body of the bell, so it's only time before that thing explodes on me mid swing or something

I bought a set of 2026 Topps Heritage Brewers cards because they are actually the 2025 team and for personal reasons, that team meant a lot to me.
