      You might want to watch some other roof safety videos. It's great that he's trying to teach safety but he's not wearing a safety harness, he's not tied on to the rope in any way and he only put a few nails into the roof anchor so the roof anchor is not secure enough.

    I know a lot of dudes are posting negative comments and I do notice his relaxed demeanor. But I would bet money this guys is still alive and hasn’t fallen off the roof. Not the most perfect method but if you do at least that every time you won’t fall off. And he most likely walked up one of the hips to get to the ridge or a valley in seen in the video. Good job dude!

    Thanks, Elvis, you have surely saved from serious injury or worse. I just bought my first house and am concerned about things I never thought twice about. My little ladder was enough to get me up high enough to see the lower gutters, so I priced extension ladders at Home Depot and realized I was at a loss as far as what I need. You answered that question, too, with your ladder safety video. Thank you again, I'm very appreciative.

    For all you home owners, when you want to clean your gutters, drive 4 nails in your roof. Not only in the plywood decking, but be sure you penetrate the trusses, or... You could rip your vents off. Good luck getting them back in without a roofer, and oh yeah, don't forget to throw the trash in the attic... Thanks, Elvis.

      There is no way as a nearly 200 pound guy I’m trusting 4 spikes to hold me to the roof, and the pulling a vent is a total joke. Might as well just saved the trouble and hired the roofer that’s going to be paid to fix the mess you make doing that to clean the gutters for you...

    I'm sure that rope is tied off to your fall-arrest harness during your normal roof operations. But home owners watching this video might get the wrong impression they need only hold onto the rope, as you did while checking the gutters.

    I install antennas on roofs and the hardest thing most of the times is getting onto the roof in the first place, little good these brackets help when you fall before you get them into place. I usually throw a feeder line that is tied to a heavy rope and go on the other side and pull it over and tie it to something on the other side, but then again that doesn't help if I go over that side..

    So if you put in a bracket every time your on the roof, and take it out each time, it seems eventually the wood would be full of holes and not make a good anchor. It seems to me (a person with no roofing experience) that roofs should be built with a number of those brackets already in place (stainless steel nails or screws) so safety is built in rather than installed with each job.

    Just as a complement of your information if you hit trusses you will be fine with 4 nail each side but if you don't you will need 8 on both sides total 16.
    The anchors has to support at minimum 5.000 pound.
    And if you want to be attached to trusses, do not use your life line for that, use an anchor strap.
    But any way, good video and good luck, not everyone can do what you did!

      Basically don't go on metal roofs without a pair of felt corkers. If the metal roof is wet, don't get on it at all. Wet metal roofs are unwalkable. And as always, it's good practice to use a rope and harness.

    More rooftop safety tips: Other than using a rope as your safety measure, you can wear a rubber soled shoe or boot, avoid slippery roofs, keep it clean, install shingle underlayment, and install temporary wood cleats for toe-holds.

    • @Matt-ir1ky
      @Matt-ir1ky 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      Its not always possible, depending on the location of the ventholes. but basically you just wrap the rope around the truss and clip it to itself and it won't go anywhere.

      I think the only way would be to remove a tile or three and tie off using a rafter.

  • @kathyflannery442
    @kathyflannery442 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Install anchor point in accordance with manufacturers instructions-may require the installation of the anchor point with many more nails. Worker needs a harness and a lanyard. harness and lanyard prevent the fall, and absorb the force. Not sure the purpose of the rope without a harness and lanyard--very dangerous. Length and type of rope is important as well.

    • @chrisbrink7523
      @chrisbrink7523 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You can buy permanent anchors, best way is to safely remove the ridge cap and install it underneath behind the nail line. Install the ridge cap back on top. That way it won’t leak. A tube of black weather rated cocking to be safe too doesn’t hurt.

  • @roofrepairspecial
    @roofrepairspecial  14 ปีที่แล้ว

    RE: Peak vent-No you cannot anchor that way unless you removed about 7 caps and cut out a foot of the ridge vent then you could use your anchor there and when you remove you replace same way you removed it.

    Despite what others say I think it's good enough... He's not doing any roofing work he's just checking and cleaning the gutters for which I think this is enough... Obviously a harness is better but this is better than nothing... or using a ladder on the gutters...
