Re: [RE-wrenches] Shoes, matting for roof work

I have used (on both metal and shingles) old carpeting on low pitch high traffic areas. you could even fasten the upper end of the carpet with S-5! clamps if you wanted. with shingles, a piece of metal strapping nailed into a rafter (ala roof jack) and bolted thru the carpet with some fender w

Re: [RE-wrenches] Shoes, matting for roof work

Wrenches, We¹re doing a lot of work on new-construction metal roofs. The problem isn¹t so much staying on the roof (unless wet!) but tracking sand up onto the roof from the foundation area ­ which scratches up the roof and, then, becomes a safety issue. We¹ve tried laying old carpet at the ladder o

No modules were damaged by hail. Wish I could say the same for my car. At least one friend had a hail stone crush his car windshield. Nothing that big hit any of our PV arrays. On 11/24/08 6:44 PM, "Drake Chamberlin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > At 10:44 AM 11/24/2008, you wrote: >> Our neighbor

Re: [RE-wrenches] Shoes

not exactly shoes, but we use sheets of the egg crate type foam for work space on up to 12/12 roofs. I do mostly hot water work, and that requires having more things handy (torch, flux, solder, cutter, reamer, etc ) than will fit easily in a tool belt. it allows us to set little things down with

RE Wrenches, In regards to shoes we have been testing the Cougerpaws with some of our installers and sales folks, http://www.cougarpaws.com/html/about.html. So far I have thumbs up. Previous to that we required Vans, as they are "grippy" but

Re: [RE-wrenches] Shoes

The Amish builders in our area swear by "Faded Glory" from Walmart.  Cheap in price and best for traction, especially on steel roofs.   Mark   Original Message Subject: [RE-wrenches] ShoesFrom: "Mark Frye" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Date: Thu, November 20, 2008 4:29 pmTo: "'RE-wrenches'"

We really like Keen's. They flex well when kneeling on your knees, rubber soles and toe box are as forgiving as can be expected on comp roofs, Gortex(we're in snow country and yes I occasionally have to remove snow to install) and a U.S. and Green! Company. Got 2 yrs. out of my last pair. Heck, I

Any thoughts on the best type of shoe for working on comp shingle roof? Good traction, least wear and tear on shingles? Has anyone tried a felt soled fishing boot? Mark Frye Berkeley Solar Electric Systems 303 Redbud Way Nevada City, CA 95959 (530) 401-8024 www.berkeleysolar.com
