![[TIP!] How To Safely Get On A High Roof With A Short Ladder](/img/tr.png)
the camera lens makes it look much less steep than that roof is. Believe me that was a 6 in 12. very steep roof to walk on. anything more steep than that would require scaffolding or working out of a lift. I have done 8 in 12 houses but usually have a ladder on the roof to the ground. and someone standing on it.
Thank you Mike I haves look for this tips on line and this is the first video I can find thanks again
Always appreciate your tips house looks good.
Hey Bubba thanks again for coming out getting us out of that jam I appreciate it😎
Any time
Since I work with nobody but myself, I'll back my truck up on the ladder so it don't kick out, or use an extra extension ladder to make it a brace. Next time I'm in this situation I'll call you up Mike so you can stand on my ladder since you're good at it. Just kidding, good video!.
ha ha for sure Jerry I did the same for many years. Helping my guys do this house.
Ha ha we once tied 2 double extension together with ladder clamps 😂
That caulking trick was 👌
Good tip w the caulk
Thx
love the videos
I am a very good mural painter and I am also working with a promoter who has a contracting business. I have always been scared of heights but I've been going up on the 28 ft ladder with a 20 ft pole reaching the peak of a 40 ft. House and it makes me nervous because I know that after a few minutes my arms get very tired and all it takes is that pole to sway and if I don't let go it could pull me off I had a guy helping me yesterday. He stood on the ladder today. I have nobody so I'm going to maybe use some house bricks. But thanks for the video.
couple sand bags helps.
I have done this too run the ladder at 45 or 48 degrees up on my roof. Since you have a garage door, you could tie the bottom of ladder to something strong and immovable in the garage. Or shoot a 2x4 into the driveway, which owners wont like, but if its yours...
I have also tied a 4x4 at ladder top when laying ladder entirely laying on a sloped roof to give foot room.
I pull my Jeep up to it and strap it to the bumper .
I'm in the process of doing the same. This may be my last post.
you can also lay a sofa cushion where the ladder touches the roof to protect shingles. Or maybe very large tube foam insulation on ladder rails
Can you show your bucket and roller setup? And how you attach it to the ladder? Trying to figure out if I can use my roller while on a ladder.
Nice vid many thanks
No problem 👍
Mike, I have a question about painting stucco with sheen vs flat paint. I watched a video of yours a while back and I think you said only flat paint should be used on stucco to allow moisture to escape from the stucco instead of building up behind the stucco and causing a bubble or other paint failure. I recently watched a video of a painter who said semi-gloss should be used on stucco because it will protect the stucco from the elements, will fade more evenly than flat paint, will fade less and will last longer. This was in a high desert area of Arizona; the climate is very dry or arid, gets rain and light snow in the winter months and mid 90's in the summer months. What's right? What are you thoughts on it? Is it regional or weather that determines if flat or a sheen should be used or should flat always be used or......?
Enamel does not last any less or more than flat. grades of paint are what makes it last. better binder and titanium vs chalk are what makes paint last. Stucco will absorb moisture when it rains. At the bottom of the house if the enamel seals up the water has no place to go. so it will push the paint into peeling. I figure the guy who says that really does not know what he is talking about with enamel paints.
BTW I have done several commercial buildings in AZ I in Tucson. I used flat on all of them they held an even fade. IDK what that guy is saying. Good quality 100% acrylic flat on stucco will last and not fade any less than enamel. They will both last the same time.....BUT the risk of the stucco sealing up and peeling off is much higher with enamel. It is not the first time I have heard this but NOTHING to back it up. IT is just some guys theory that shiny paint is better than flat. Which has no basis. flat (solid acryilic stain 100% acrylic is the best paint for stucco.)
When you were doing the fascia and touching up little holes with caulking, is that caulking from a caulking gun you squeeze out on the side of the bucket? Do you paint over it before it cures, I thought you had to wait hours before you can paint over caulking. Thanks, great video on ladder safety too.
yea your right usually but this works fine for smaller holes. it will shrink. I dont do all the holes just the ones they missed. Everyone misses some holes on facia or on walls.
another trick is use the 25 year caulk for this. the 35 tends to shrink more and pull apart. the 25 fills just fine and lasts for that. Honestly it lasts for a very long time. and never had issues with adhesion or shrinkage. Unless the facia is like primary BLUE.. or something like that with white caulk. It really just depends on what your doing. weather can also be a factor and how big what your trying to fill.
Can you please help me. I HAVE to paint my house because neighbors complained. The problem is that I have a two story house with an attic. I bought the ladder recommended to me which is like 24’ but it does reach anywhere near the eaves of the house. How can I paint this? I can’t afford a painter.
6/12 is not 45 degrees. 12/12 is 45 degrees.
Yea thanks......SUPER STEEP.....
Hey Mike, what's the reason you have pallets on the ground? Is it to serve as a table so you don't have to bend down to get tools?
Lol yep!
I always foot my ladders with a 200kg of sand on stones and concrete I think its a bit excessive throwing ladders away because of that all my ladders are from the 80's and 90's never had any bad falls
Come paint my house. I'm in Vegas
Question
On a project like this what is the price per square feet ??? Two storage and as tall as 20’ + high
???? Thanks for the tips again
this neighborhood is almost $2 a SF....
@@mikethepainter is that labor only or including materials?
An easier way ive learned the 25% as an ironworker is the 4 to 1 rule. Every 4 feet the ladder goes up the ladder needs to be 1 foot back from the wall or whatever you're leaning the ladder on. To 12 ft=3ft ), 16ft=4 feet, 20ft=5 feet and so on.
So, how did Michelangelo paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel ???
My random thought all of a sudden.
Also wondering how the heck they have preserved it for this long?
Painting thoughts, lol.
scaffold
When there are trim and stucco. Which one paint first? Thank you
almost always I paint the stucco first then the trim.
@@mikethepainter does I have to use sprayer to paint stucco or roller can do the job too? Thank you
@@calittlegarden-3311 if your going to roll you should wet the stucco before you roll it. and Literally cover EVERYTHING....out 10ft all windows and take down lights. or they will get wiped out. Best to spray do all your covering then rent a sprayer start early in the morning and work hard all day you might get it all painted in 1 day (spray work) or 2 days stucco and eves. then get out your brush and do the rest.
@@mikethepainter thank you for the tips. One more question...I saw out there have stocco paint for sale, do I need primed first then stocco paint and is the stocco paint the best way to go? It since very tricky to pick the paint for stocco. Thank you
💯🤔
25 degrees?
Is this your regular crew, or are you just knocking it out together cause it's a big house?
I only work a few days a month. These guys worked for me before when I was working every day Now they do their own jobs. They are overwhelmed with work so I came out to help them with their job. may also next week. The commercial jobs I do I cannot film because they have branding which will get me in trouble with my customers.
@@mikethepainter that's cool that you're able to take the jobs that are worth it for you, and help your guys out too, bet its nice to see them doing well on their own. That's my goal too, hopefully in about 20 years I'll still have my health and have everything paid off and be able to work here and there to stay active and bring in a little extra income.
That ladder set up looks dangerous to much of a slope will buckle out! needs to be more straight up and apply c clamps as well so that the ladders don’t slip and kill someone that high
Every 6 feet a 12" drop.
45 degrees would be 12:12 pitch.
just drive car against ladders or heavy lawnmover. no need to be worried about anyone holding ladders.
when working by myself I do that all the time but it takes time to back up the truck so when there are a few guys there great place to take a break behind the ladder.
6 in 12 means for every 12 inches there is a rise of 6 inches.
Yeah it's really steep
The top roof wasn't that steep but the sides were very steep like 6 and 12 maybe five and a half or five and 12
@@mikethepainter Lol thats not steep. Haha 10/12 are steep bro.
Not using a stabilizer or a kick mat? Dude you are suppose to use you the paint on the house not up your nose.
This guy talks too much
