If it's something that requires a lot of muscle, I have no choice but to call one of my family members to help me.

I also don't do anything that requires me to crawl up on a roof. I can clean gutters, but that's as high as I can go. I must have fallen off of a high place in a previous life. My acrophobia is terrible.
