I used to have a real phobia about heights - that was until the gales of '97 when we lost our garage and had to rebuild it. Unfortunately, our insurance didn't cover it and we had to do it ourselves. My OH has ME and couldn't do it so my brother in law and nephew built the main walls and put the struts across for the roof but ran out of time for the rest. The only solution was for me to do it, I didn't know if was my knees knocking or my hands shaking the most!!! I did it though, I was so pleased and I have since been abseiling a few times too!!!

Just goes to show what can be done when you have no choice!!! lol
