Your thoughts on this please , i cant make my mind up ....

Was catching up on a few jobs on Saturday , heard some clattering behind me from an ajoining property turned and saw this , i couldnt make out the print on the tee's and have not seen them around before , i got the cam out of the van for a pic but one of them sussed what i was doing and started shouting and doing the arm bit , i thought best to get packed up and away before they did !!!

There is a roof sealing business around our way that also just stand on the roof  with a pressure washer to clean the muck off before painting it.

When we see some of the replies to the Andrew Willis thread on here, some windows cleaners would probably do the same thing.

......and it did for them as well.

If this is a serious comment, then I hope the time never comes when someone may feel the need to set up a charity account on behalf of your family as you are unable to work after a fall.

I have seen this done often in Australia with less slopping roofs and single story homes, but they had ropes tied to their wastes and secured over the roof ridge to the ground on the other side to prevent injury if they did slip.

I believe my harness training is still current in Australia roping on is definitely not allowed over there. I do them like this Spruce because I haven't been on an impact 43 course and as such I'm finding it impossible to work out a safer way.  :D
