Proposed Roof Access:
We started discussing this because I had contacted the tree service guy to hire him and his bucket truck to get me on the roof to do repairs. When he came over he said his truck couldn't get onto yard around the house and that I should consider buying a harness and ropes. We got together and he picked out a harness and 2 150' ropes from Baileys. His plan is that I can rope to the chimney with one rope and a tree with the other. Then use Prusick knots from the harness to the ropes. What do you guys think? I am in good physical condition but haven't done any harness/rope work before. I also love the idea of having the equipment and knowledge to do roof repairs like this without having to rent a lift.
Thanks for any replies
