Hey Gang. A friend of mine have started painting trim on houses in our neighborhood for some extra cash. Our question is this. How in the heck do people walk on these steep-pitched roofs? What we have done is to lay an extention ladder on the roof, running a strap across the back of the house and securing it with cinder blocks. Then, whoever is doing the painting will sit on the ladder, and scoot around. There has to be an easier way. Keep in mind, we're not pros here, just looking to make the job easier :) Thanks in advance for any tips.
