Sunday Challenge Question!

You are a thirty-something, first time homeowner. You are able-bodied and have access to a wide variety of tools.

You walk into your home and up the winding stairs to the third floor. You take off your shoes as you enter the back bedroom which you have designated as your temporary living space. You walk across the room and enter the kitchenette. You open your 9.6 cu ft refrigerator and gaze idly at its contents. You close the door and wander to the east window to gaze idly out.


You are suddenly alert. There is something in the tree.



There is a discarded piece of pretty wooden porch, a porch demolished before you bought the house, entangled in the tree. You run downstairs to the first floor, out the side door of the house, and into the backyard.



'Why did they just leave it there?' you think to yourself. 'How have I not noticed this before? That must be twenty feet in the air. How have the recent wind storms not dislodged it? How on earth am I going to get that down from...' Your pondering stops silent as an excellent solution appears in your mind.

'Crazy,' you say aloud, 'but it just might work.'

What is your solution?

(We don't have one yet.)
