I recently mentioned on INSTAGRAM that one of my favourite places is my roof.
It certainly is the cherry AND the whipped cream on top of my rocketship of a condo-home!
I use it almost daily throughout the whole year ... in spite of living in downtown Toronto ... Canada ... where Winter snow actually does make it look like everything is covered in sweet white fluff.
In Winter, I keep a little rectangular patch shovelled up there so I can throw down a rubber-backed, IKEA mat (so as not to annoy my neighbours ... too much) as I jog-in-place ... and breathe in my own personal daily dose of fresh air. It's my wake-up call in the middle of the day.
In Spring/Summer/Fall, I also walk backwards ... but that tends to stop when I only have a mat-sized area to walk and run on-the-spot.
NOTE: I do go out and walk along back neighbourhood laneways as well BUT the roofdeck patch insures I do this on the daily. Sometimes it's just not safe out there when I get the urge.
Fast Forward:
The main thrust is that you can skip indoors without taking out your chandelier!
AND
The Reviews Are Interesting
- You get what you pay for.
- Don't buy an inexpensive one ... if you do, it might take out your chandelier!
Basically, it's just two battery-powered handles ... yes, you heard that right - and no, I thought exactly the same thing you just did, it doesn't do half the work for you (so what's the use, etc) ... the handles just do the counting for you!
If I skip backwards does that count?

There's about 10 inches of metal-lined, silicone cord with two weighted balls on the end of each one. Seemingly, it's the balls that fly off the ends of the cheap ones and break the chandeliers. It came with an extra battery.
I don't usually impress this easily.
I'm quite impressed.
But should I be.
I mean really.
There are two handles.
One extra battery.
There are also one couple of thingies
... and another two different thingies
... and two little screw drivers that look kind of useless because you could just use the end of a pair of scissors or something.
... and a cord (not sure what it's for)
SOooOOo
IT'S NOT A CORDLESS JUMP ROPE.
But guys
I liked the surprise.
AND I totally got the wool pulled over my eyes.
Do I complain?
I think not.
And lastly, there are some lengthly instructions I've not read.
