This is how i secure everything to the roof. Plank to spread the weight, all lag bolted to the roof framing. The trusses slide on to the pins.



Here is the completed job. Sorry for the bad pic.




On to the next one

I'll stick my neck out and ask a stupid question. How do you keep the roof from leaking after punching it full of holes?

I'm obviously not a roofer.
Thanks for sharing this job with us!

Health and Safety Regs here mean that we generally have to use specialist scaffolding firms for the more difficult jobs.
Here are a couple of examples of chimney jobs.

Holy crap. $2000 scaffold job for a $500 chimney repair.
Although I would love to work on something so sturdy.

Stuart45, those are real nice set ups. It sure is cool to see how it's done in other parts of the world.

After the scaffolding is stripped i simply replace the damaged roof shingles. Usually takes about half an hour.

That's the best thing I ever heard about staging..

About the holes Insane, normally I've used roof brackets for the pipe staging and stud them.. Hows the plank secured to the roof like that, was it the bolts you used?

Insane's repair looked more like a $5000 repair to me.

JD3LTA, I prefer not to use roof brackets because of the weight. I don,t think they are rated for this much. With people up there i am not taking any chances.
The plank itself is bolted directly to the roof framing, and the swivel brackets are bolted to the plank, though they do penetrate the roof and sheathing.
As for dollars and cents, lets just say way north of 5k.
