Project description

The roof was a steep pitch and would be very costly to scaffold all the way around.
I used a mobile scaffold to get to the top and placed some temporary roof anchors with a static line between them.
From there I was able to safely replace any damaged nails with screws, mask up the chimneys and skylights, and spray paint each side of the pitched roof.
When I was done with an area, I moved the roof anchors one by one to the new area, replaced the screws and used a can of spray paint that was the same colour to protect the new screws.
