Marc Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 He's quite the daredevil to do that on a 12/12 pitch with a 2-story drop on either side. Is that you...or is it Denray? Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Dirks Jr Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Looks like a 3 story drop to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Why? I can see from here, that roof is good. [] It is a neat pic, but it makes me wonder if a few years from now, no inspector will be allowed up there without a harness and a tail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Probably not. The only reason I was up there was there was/is a leak, and I got paid to find it. It was much less daunting than the pic suggests; it was easy to get up there from a 2nd fl. deck, into a valley up to the peak, then a stroll down to the other end where the the leak was. As I was walking down the ridge, I could see my shadow in peripheral vision, so I snapped a pic. I aimed by sense of feel, never took my eyes off my line. If someone doesn't want to do it, that's probably smart, but since I have no other discernible skills, doing inspection work that no one else will keeps focaccia on the table.

Marc Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Upscale clients looking at houses with high/steep roofs are contacting me more than usual lately and I've been pondering the purchase of that 6K remote controlled 'copter w/camera. Better yield on investment than an infrared in my hot/humid climate. Marc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Raymond Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Cool shot. You should lease it to Lamb, I'd buy a print if I saw it at a show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hausdok Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 That's a good shadow. I can make out Kurt's ubiquitous safari shirt with the sleeves rolled to the elbows and the pockets on his pants. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted October 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 ..where is the fiddle? HAHAHA.....that's pretty darn funny. If I were a rich man, Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum..... I know it isn't the smartest thing to have done, but I'm not so smart, just determined. I don't recommend it for folks that are uncomfortable on roofs. I happen to be completely comfortable on roofs because I'm scared shitless enough to pay rapt attention to the task. I just kept walking and hitting the shutter button; a couple of the shots turned out. If Lamb wants it, he can have it. I'd be honored to have him do his thing with one of my images.
