Thinking I’m Griswold

[HudsonFalcon]

I use a roof ladder that I got from my fire dept. It's the only way I'll work on my roof and the pitch isn't even that steep.

Safety third #amiright?

It’s an old photo but I came out the window over the 3rd car bay. Bonked my head on the roof line and slid down. It’s only about a 15 ft drop into the AC unit and concrete pad there.

Came into this thread thinking there'd be mention of a fried cat.

I dont care for heights but my roof is like Brad's so its easy to walk around up there and hang lights off the edge vs using a ladder

@03cobra#694 - do you staple all those lights up top or what? Im always hesitant to put holes in the shingles

And then there's this:

Passerby calls 911 after panicking over ‘Christmas Vacation’-inspired holiday display in Texas

My neighbors were probably laughing at me as I went up the ladder stayed there about 2 minutes went back down, then tried again 3 times.

I pretty much got stuck on my roof a couple of years ago. Lol

How did you manage that?

Bought a bunch of Christmas lights and started to hang them today in hopes of channeling Griswold. Turns out I’m a little bitch...had a full on panic attack when I hit my head while on the roof and slipped about 2ft down it. Now I can’t bring myself to get on the roof. Yet I’m perfectly fine jumping out of an airplane (granted it’s been a few years since I’ve done that). WTF?!

Only two ways to beat Christmas light trauma. Get back on the roof (harness yourself to something), or ask @Smooth how much help the Capt needs to give you for fearlessness.

Little tabs I slide under the shingles, no staples. Absolutely no holes with the rain here. I’ll need a new roof in a few years. This is 14 years old.
Figure half the life of the singles. 30 years, 15.... the heat breaks them down.

Bob this SVTP these guys are more concerned with Martha jiggling than the cannon

Yeah, you're right. Yep! LOL.

The ladder moved some as I was climbing onto it to get down and my mind went 15 year old girl crazy. Lol

I think I was up there for a good 45-60 minutes.

 

[JPKII]

So what you're telling me is I'm not the only one?? Lol.

Skydiving, flying in the back of Heuys, etc, etc. No sweat.

Hand me a ladder to get on roof??? Hell naw...

 

[Weather Man]

Buddy (electrician, up and down ladders all day at work) had his extension ladder pop out when he was at the top putting xmas lights up, broke both his ankles. No ladders for me.

 

[tones_RS3]

I'm afraid of heights, but I force myself up there whenever I really have to.
I get so nervous sometimes that I start shaking and the ladder starts shaking as well. lol
