[RE-wrenches] Comp roof care

[frenergy]

Fellow wrenches,

        During a pitched composition roof install, I'm very conscientious about avoiding any foot placement/movement/twisting that may damage the shingles.  I try to stay in the array footprint as it will see much less wear after the install.  Chicken boards on steeper roofs and get off when its hot.

        However, I've started experimenting with carpet strips on traffic routes such as ladder to array, along the sides of the array.  On a steeper pitch, the secured rail can be used somewhat as add'l chicken boards...soft-soled flexible shoes of course are a must.  Are there other tried and true tricks folks are willing to share for leaving the roof in good shape??

Thanks,

Bill

  The ranges look like the Peerless Premier line from the USA the fridges look like Crystal Cold from the Amish fellow in Wisconsin and well Steca is Steca. 

   

  Nothing special here, but aside from the ranges nobody uses propane fridges any more as solar is so cheap. A good DC Freezer is the SunDanzer line of DC freezers as they have tons of insulation. Call me with questions. 

   

  Kind regards

  Friends:

   

  A client has asked me to enquire about a provider of appliances specifically for off-grid consumers.  Their web site is:  http://www.uniqueoffgrid.com/en-Ca/Products/Product-Line-up.html

   

  Do any of you have any experience with this firm and their products?

   

  Thanks in advance,

   

  William
