What about a man lift?




As a benefit you can swing around above the neighbor's yard screaming: "I'm not on your property and you don't own the air!".

there was one called a brucie bracket that had rubber padded
jaws that clamped to the seam of the roof panel,if i remember correctly was about 800.00 apiece i have never used one and i cant seem to locate one online.probably a liability issue.a standing seam roof is usually installed with cleats that allow the panel to expand and contract and is only kept from sliding down by being screwed thru the ridge by a couple of screws

Can't you just wait till your neighbor goes to work?

Bodger

And then just torch his house.
You'll have a whole vacant lot for setting your ladders!

Tom Struble

you gotta be really careful on a metal roof there is no second chances

Might be cost prohibitive, but the man lift would be hysterical! Swinging out over his house as he screams and yells

My parents had a neighbor like that and you (the property owner) has a right to access their home to maintain it. SO you might have to call in the police.

We have a set of ladder hooks they hook to the end of a ladder and have casters on one side so you push it up on the casters flip it over at the peak and it hooks on the opposite side and the you can work off of it. We got them from tool crib back when they sent catologs

Nice neighbor... If you can rent a boom lift, that might be the way to go. Pricey to rent in my neck of the woods.

Sad situation, on the 6:00 news, neighbor found hanging from skyhook after conflict with the painter. Not so much about the hanging, as is how he was hanging.. hahaha

The neighbor be like the guy hanging from the ski lift for 15 mins naked & all the news media grabing onto the story..

I hope there was good consideration to these dormers at the time of building the estimate.

My thoughts exactly.
What are they going to do call the police when they come home?
Let them. I doubt the cops will take their side.

Ya - most municipalities have rules that if your house is within x-inches of the property line you have a "reasonable" right of access to the neighbour's yard to do maintenance. Call the city, get the statute, convey that to the neighbour.

MALCO.New.York

Yes! Petition the City and charge for it!

Or

Tell the Neighbor to GFThemeselves!

He's right. I use hook ladders and a work positioning harness to access weird spots.
