[RE-wrenches] rail less standing seam attachments

[Ray]

Hi Bill;

Not to hijack the thread, but how did you handle fall protection and 
work safely on that 12:12 pitch metal roof?  I have a steep standing 
seam roof project coming up.  We wanted to set a ledger board on S5 
clips, but were worried they would leave visible damage to the new roof.

Thanks
