@@2004jessiehsClose! Every 4 feet up, 1 out. An easy way to test it is to stand up straight at the bottom and extend your arms forward. Generally, even with people's different arm lengths, your fully extended arm going directly straight out (not at an angle other than 90 degrees) should land right on the ladder without requiring your arms or body to bend to properly grab it. If, from the base of the ladder, you noticably can't fully extend your arm or you need to bend over some to reach the rung nearest to your extended arm, it's probably at a bad angle. Stay safe out there yall!! Much love!
I really hope nobody follows this guys safety setup or advice . Go out and work and make money but be safe. 1. Ladder is not correlating with angle to distance 2. It's not tied off 3. The pendulum swing on his harness going to the edge is bad judgement not tripping over the rope part. 4. Correct fall protection should be discussed here. , his harness is on so wrong if he fell with the pendulum swing his nuts are going through his shoulders and he would be in painnnnnn
That ladder setup is perfectly fine. The flat rock pavers are holding it in place. I've seen workers safely use ladders at almost a 90° angle with nothing at the base. U guys too dramatic and have no balls.
@SpencerClaeys good stuff man, i was doing a job today and was curious to your thoughts on steepness of roofs so this was a God send. As usual thanks for the content and keep up the grind!
There’s directions on the side of every ladder that shows you how to correctly position it, all you do is you put the front of your feet on the bottom of both runs of the latter and stick your hands straight out and whenever your hands can fit on the ladder comfortably with your toes on the front of the ladder that shows you have the right angle
FYI, a permanent safety anchor can be installed by a licensed roofer for the cost of around $325. It is a good idea for the homeowner to have one of these installed for the safety of those that go up on their roof. It is becoming more common that roof service and maintenance people won’t go on a customers roof unless it has one.
I could be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure you’re using the wrong side of the anchor, if those are the anchors that I think they are they’re only supposed to be used up to 180° on the side of the house that they’re facing. The super anchor is the most common 360° access anchor.
Maybe don't pull hard on it if it's connected to the other side? But then what if you want to do gutters on both sides...also you can't go near the gable, regardless? This is discussed a little in the comments here: ruclips.net/video/KVxaNyPHYnE/видео.html
What happens when you do fall and you're dangling in mid air? How easy is it to maneuver the harness? With the harness rope attached to the back, I would imagine it's difficult to get yourself down to the ground.
There’s a life line with a lanyard connected to it check out how a lanyard works it can save your life but that harness can also kill you if you hang for too long
You guys don't know how to use harnesses. Don't give yourself so much slack in the rope that you go past the edge of the roof. You shouldn't ever be dangling
Part of Fall Protection Safety is having a fall plan... meaning before you go up you need to make sure you have someone watching in case you fall, or some reliable method of calling for help to get you down if you were to fall. I think they said 30 minutes was the maximum time someone should dangle and even then, that's 30 painful minutes.
Can you show installation of the anchor and getting on/off the ladder safely? I know it's probably hard as hell to film while you do it lol but it would be helpful.
Ladder sets are not something that needs arguing because there is a sticker on the side that shows you the angle that you need to set it up and how kindergarten level easy it is.
Any recommendations for harness product and rope? Also, does every roof have an anchor? Is that a standard in the US? I am considering installing gutter guards, but don't like the annual maintenance fee and would like to DIY that part 2x year. I do have very very steep roof, but I am physically active and fit, so with proper ladder and harness it should be no problem. I also rock climb :)
All the RUclips videos seem to be about walking on Grippy Shingles. Do you have any advice about walking on a steep pitch of Traditional Grey Roof Tiles ?
@@SpencerClaeysI used to clean high rise windows, as well as lots of ladder work, and unfortunately you are not using this equipment properly at all, a simple fall restraint course would teach you to use it, and it's obvious you haven't been certified (at least at this time) or else you would never post this. You should clarify the fall restraint system you are using, especially since it's sadly clear that you are expecting it to perform a fall arrest, which that anchor is not designed for. That rope should be much more work to deal with, as it needs to prevent you from being able to go over the edge. Even when I did high rise window cleaning, we had to use fall restraint before going over the edge, meaning we would not risk a dynamic load, until we were no longer able to, meaning after we go over the edge of the building. If you were about to fall over the edge, this system will not prevent your egress, meaning you are going to drop, creating a dynamic load several times greater than the 100 or so pounds of static load these anchors are designed for (500lbs after 5 to 1 safety factor). They are not designed to hold someone's weight, they are designed for someone to fall, that creates a dynamic load of your entire 150 body accelerated, which often exceeds 500 pounds. I'm sure you've installed these anchors, so you should know how static load is protected against, that anchor is held in by a few nails that can be jerked out all at once, but is designed with a metal plate to protect it from a static load of fall restriction. If this video got to your local safety regulators I can assure you they will give you a ticket for this. They are not going to allow you pretend a fall restraint system is going to act to arrest your fall, and even if it could arrest your fall, they certainly require you to use fall restraint anyways because the falling there with fall arrest will still likely cause injury. Simply walk out to the center edge, and line up your rope grab so your body can't create more than a 3 foot dynamic surge, so if your feet slipped over the edge your rope is short enough that your ass won't ever fall past the edge. Once you go past that you risk injury, which regulations state you must prevent. The ladder is also an issue as many here noted, I see what you did but odds of your ladder tipping on your climb is super high, I've seen in happen since we also do a ton of risky ladder work cleaning windows. In this situation just put it against the fence, and climb on to it. I've had much more awkward spots than that, you need to have the base far enough out so that there is pressure on the wall, which you don't have. Even if you tie it you are relying on that tie to hold it, which is again not legal. The only problem having it further out is the bottom can slip out, and while it's possible an inspector will be a dick and ticket you for having out too far even propped against a fence, since the fence wood can break from a ladder kicking, you clearly had a good angle here. Portable ladders are not designed to be used like permanent ladders, there is no fixed point at the top, and you can't just tie a rope or whatever and call it fixed. This is more than just safety regs, I was the safety rep for my company, we had people getting hurt and countless near missing from this type of work day in day out. A good safety video, which I would applaud you for uploading, should also include the procedure for tying off. You should be able to climb the ladder with your hands free, we did that with 300 foot safety and work lines together, and you should immediately walk up to the anchor and tie off, then immediately measure off your rope grab so that you are restricted from falling, ergo fall restriction. Then show them how to get to the corners safely, since you won't be able to reach with the full length of your rope measured to the sides. Obviously it should just be muscle memory to add slack on your rope grab, and then once you finish the corner go back to the center to set your rope, then back out. Every job is different, but yours is a great example of one where you have to be good at this to have a successful business with employees being safe, and I would not trust you whatsoever, and I don't mean this as a slight, I was just one of people educated in this very misunderstood system. To the untrained eye this looks fine, you are tied off, but you aren't using fall restraint properly, it's clear you don't have a fall restraint certificate or you aren't applying it's principles to your work. No offense 😂 I know better than most how annoying this stuff is, we had to watch as other window cleaners just broke the law and walked on roofs just like we did when I first started. We lost a lot of work because home owners didn't want to install anchors, which we learned to do, also that's why I know how and why those anchors will probably save you from a fall, but aren't designed to, and can fail to save your limbs and life without the manufacturer being responsible. Even if it saves the fall, you are smashing shins if not foreheads against the building as you slip over the edge. Rule of thumb, land on your bum.
What I hate as a soffit and gutter guy is all the roofers in Florida take off the drip and then put hundreds of nails through the back of the gutter and fascia and then cover it back up with new drip. The amount that we have to ding and destroy the drip to the the nails out is insane. Luckily there’s usually new gutter going up to hide it. But just don’t get why they think nobody else is ever going to work at the house on the soffit, fascia, or gutter.
Was trying to order your book but as soon as I enter my payment information, it led me straight to other products and as soon as I clicked "no" it just reverts me back to the same page and wouldn't let me just order the $7 book. I exit out the site, of course. Hopefully, I don't get charged. Could be a user error. Who knows.
With such a big building, are you scared that if you fell off the edge you'd actually still slide your rope down the gutter to the middle and still hit the ground? Though I guess you might be standing upright at that point...or maybe the ground is far enough away the rope would still catch you...
You are correct, with such a big roof there should be more than one anchor point. However I don’t think he’d hit the ground but someone would have to come to his rescue as he’d be stuck hanging over the edge. It is hassle to install tie downs when you’re trying to make a quick buck. He should consider talking to his clients about installing permanent anchors so he can work on their roofs safely in the futures
Your first ladder is a death trap. Those top stones can slip out with ease not to mention you’re almost straight up and down. Be careful. Rest of the video pretty cool.
You can lift up shingles and screw them in. My guess is this one is kind of permanently already screwed in, based on his other comments. ruclips.net/video/tcFoM4dg5kE/видео.htmlsi=D1GvF3dHqAD-JQfg
Lots of good tips! Have you used Cougar Paws boots? If so, which would you say is better: the Cougar Paws or the Marin boot? Also, I'm a homeowner and not a roofer, but I may need to replace more of my roof, and the Petzl ASAP Lock kit looks like a good setup for roofing (with a Petzl harness). It looks way better than the standard safety harness.
If your looking to get your roof replaced, contact a trustee Roofing Contractor so they can work with your insurance and try to get it covered. Some of those guys can work some serious magic and can make a huge difference in terms of HOW Much an adjuster is willing to give you to replace your roof/gutters etc.
You can look up how to place temporary anchors but make sure to research how to repair and replace the shingles. Most work by lifting a row of top shingles nailing to under layer then when your done you caulk the nail holes and replace the shingle that you removed
I am going to start this business but yea I am only going to do roofs that I feel comfortable with do you need a license to get started? If it’s just a side hustle and do the owners of the house ever ask you about it
Some things listen too but not a lot from this guy lol straight up and down later. And talking about tying off to a tree on the ground is hilarious lol nail some 2x4s to the studs and call it a day lol
Cool video.. What a good harness to use for this activity? I see many brands at Amazon and online, but not sure which to look at. Also, any suggestion for shoes? I tried working up there with some hiking shoes and almost slipped right off..
Thanks man! The Marin by Brunt, been a fan since I first got them. And yeah I get most of it from Home Depot but yeah I have some other videos planned on that sort of thing 👍
@@fingolfin9086 Havent tried these before but they have a unique bottom design ive never seen. Perhaps ill give them a try especially them being a little cheaper on the dollar!
You should realize, your safety harness set-up was not going to stop you from hitting the ground, because you had too much slack, plus you need to figure on your lanyard length as well! You would have hit the ground before your lanyard even would have engaged to arrest your fall!
You're showing how to safely do things, but swinging on a one anchor point and walking way out with that line at a very long hypotenuse angle. Think about it...If you fell off the edge, the rope will slip on the gutter that entire length of rope till it gets taught at 90 where the anchor is to catch you. So you're potentially giving yourself enough slack to fall and hit the ground before the line is taught and your prusik/harness grabs. You need to anchor at two points. It will also protect you if you fell off peak, or even fell off the opposite side. The rope line two anchor will catch you either way.
That ladder is too vertical
yeah i dont have any expertise but even that looked very bad
He knows what he is doing. If your scared, don't go up a ladder :)
Yeah, tell that go people who HAVE to use that ladder angle every day.

@@thomasmoxley4862he clearly doesn't because the ladder is too vertical it only takes one wrong shift of his weight and the ladder will flip backwards
Hey Spencer, did you install that roof anchor or was it already there? Would you do a video about the drilling and all that’s needed to install one ?
Im guessing the powder is to help prevent moss and such. All you have to do is sprinkle that stuff on and that's it? How long does it last? How does it compare to a zinc strip?

Thanks! Awesome video, hadn't even consider using a harnesses until now 😅
Ok but how do you get up to the point where the anchor will be installed ? Two Roof Hoppers work, but only last one year afore they get ripped
How are you anchoring it to the roof? Nailing it? If so are you plugging up those holes when you're done?
Exactly. Not a very useful example.
A lot of houses already have the anchor on there.
Great video Spencer

How do you get to the roof anchor or set the roof anchor on an actually steep roof??
Rent a crane.
...But how do you get the roof anchor in if you can't walk on the roof without it?
does tying to the ground the other side not damage the gutter with the rope ?
Maybe don't pull hard on it if it's connected to the other side? But then what if you want to do gutters on both sides...also you can't go near the gable, regardless? This is discussed a little in the comments here: ruclips.net/video/KVxaNyPHYnE/видео.html
Use an anchor far enough away from the building so the safety rope will not crush the gutter if a worker falls.
Your video gives a adrenaline rush 😅 good content 👍
I never have a problem stepping on to the roof it's stepping off that scares the crap out of me.

Can you show installation of the anchor and getting on/off the ladder safely? I know it's probably hard as hell to film while you do it lol but it would be helpful.
How do you initially hook up and dehook your rope safely?
You'd have to make it to the anchor unattached. Or use the over the house rope method to safely get to the anchor.
My roof is so much higher and steeper than the one pictured in the video. It's, frankly, terrifying. I can't even get roofers to work on it.
A lawn tractor makes a good movable anchor to tie down on, if it's big and hefty enough.
What I still don't understand is the anchor. Are you telling me that you nail holes into the client's roof?
In Croatia we do it without any of thease safety things and classic ladder
What about Spanish style roofs with clay tiles or concrete tiles?

Yes, but many jurisdictions require that they be engineered and inspected annually by an engineer.
Safety first.. for any Roof work..
what hight ladder do you use for 2 stories
24 foot should work
I am going to start this business but yea I am only going to do roofs that I feel comfortable with do you need a license to get started? If it’s just a side hustle and do the owners of the house ever ask you about it
Yeah make sure you’re licensed and insured, probably only 1 out of every 50 people ask though
No license needed
@@jollyranch1026 not true. You need a state/local Business license
Hi,
What was the blue stuff you applied after the white powder?
The blue is laundry detergent (cheaper and helps raise the PH) zinc is the white good question bro!
@Spencer Claeys
Huh, is the blue laundry detergent pellet form? What brand? I would like to try this with the moss out white powder.
Thanks
It’s new form of powder of Cocaine
Very steep roof there. What is that, 5/12?
Some things listen too but not a lot from this guy lol straight up and down later. And talking about tying off to a tree on the ground is hilarious lol nail some 2x4s to the studs and call it a day lol
Use a vacuum mate@applied cleaning solutions
So wait, you're saying don't wear a pair of Jordan's on the roof? But won't they make me jump higher, and not need as long of a ladder?😊
Imagine, we have in Poland roofs covered with slippy metal sheets we need to clean or paint...
👏🏼🙌🏼Great tips! Super useful for the community! 🧠💪🏼
Cool video.. What a good harness to use for this activity? I see many brands at Amazon and online, but not sure which to look at.
Also, any suggestion for shoes? I tried working up there with some hiking shoes and almost slipped right off..
Great vid 👍🏼
Great vid. Thanks for sharing. What was name of boots? Also can you do a vid where to get all the supplies for safety? Thanks.
Boots are made by Brunts and you can get some harnesses at lowes or Home Depot for around $150 depending on where you live
Thanks man! The Marin by Brunt, been a fan since I first got them. And yeah I get most of it from Home Depot but yeah I have some other videos planned on that sort of thing 👍
A lot of people also suggest the wave/deck boots made by Huk, they’re $30-$50 cheaper than the Brunt’s and supposed to be super sticky
@@fingolfin9086 Havent tried these before but they have a unique bottom design ive never seen. Perhaps ill give them a try especially them being a little cheaper on the dollar!
You should realize, your safety harness set-up was not going to stop you from hitting the ground, because you had too much slack, plus you need to figure on your lanyard length as well! You would have hit the ground before your lanyard even would have engaged to arrest your fall!
You're showing how to safely do things, but swinging on a one anchor point and walking way out with that line at a very long hypotenuse angle. Think about it...If you fell off the edge, the rope will slip on the gutter that entire length of rope till it gets taught at 90 where the anchor is to catch you. So you're potentially giving yourself enough slack to fall and hit the ground before the line is taught and your prusik/harness grabs. You need to anchor at two points. It will also protect you if you fell off peak, or even fell off the opposite side. The rope line two anchor will catch you either way.
You'd be surprised how many roofers don't use a safety harness. Eventually the state will catch up to them.
How do you use a roof anchor without putting holes in the roof? You just ruined a 20'000$ roof.
You put it under the shingle behind the tar line. It ruins nothing.
Estemm, pero ese techo esta plano :/
Get cougar paws so you don’t have to worry about tripping over the rope
Send this video to the secret service. They have a problem with sloped roofs.
