One of two houses we did today

Gary, is that safe the way the ladder is positioned in the first/third pic? I've always struggled with roofs like that and usually put my little giant on the lower roof with the stabilizers on the 2nd story section.

Great job on landing those to jobs Gary! But I have to agree with Phil on the ladder position. Would it have been possible to set up on that dormer with a stabliizer and shot it from there?

I just leaned the ladder there while I was wetting down some landscape. Actually put it up against the dormer and shot from there. Bought a 32' today to make life simpler.

I'm glad you posted it, Gary. Congrats on both jobs.

I'm with Phil - that configuration of roofs is a challenge.

You applied from the dormer on one side, but handling the other side from that position wouldn't always be possible.

For the opposite side:

1) Up and over from back, with PFAS.

2) A 40' with stabilizer at the rake.

3) Front porch with Little Giant and stabilizer (thanks Phil).

4) Lift, but you're often limited to tow-behind where access is concerned, and many are already pulling a trailer.

Where there's a will, there's a way.

This newbie wonders if anyone has a picture showing the use of a little giant on a front porch roof
