So my father owns a hunting lodge down in the Pine Barrens, which we hunt out of every winter, and spend a few weekends at a year. It's in need of a new roof soon, and some of the shingles have fallen off. The most recent visit was during a hunting trip when we discovered water damage inside the house and a large missing section of shingles. Since we had some extra shingles, a hammer, and nails...fixing it was obvious. So on day 2 after coming out of the woods for lunch empty-handed we got to work.
1st problem...the roof is a very extreme angle, so standing on the roof is not an option. this forces the ladder to be at a very wide angle to the house which causes the...
2nd problem...ladder wont reach the area we need to patch, so naturally we get a stepladder and put it on top of the extension ladder, which is still too short. The final solution is pictured below:
and yes that is me up on the roof in all of my hunting garb
