[RE-wrenches] Working on metal roofs.

[William Miller]

Jesse:

I have welded up custom ridge brackets.  To these I attach a welded ring 
for tying off and bolt 2X6 to screw in plank jacks 
(http://millersolar.com/Portfolio/Inverters/battery_iinverters/JB_XW/jb_xw.html).

On steep roofs, I have run 2X6 and/or ladders down to the ground.  I clip 
or screw plank jacks to the 2X6s / ladders.

Good luck.  Move slowly and communicate clearly with those you are working 
with.
