| Oct 8, 2021 at 3:29 | comment | added | eaglei22 | Thanks, I def understand your point, but going the DIY approach is so I can stay within a budget. Rentals for lifts are far from me, so delivery and rental fees for an hour of use just isn't practical unless there was literally no other way. Same with paid help, it just starts to become too costly for what is being done. I agree, staying healthy is always a number one priority. That's why I came on here to get other's perspectives with more experience than me, I don't want to assume anything and find out the hard way. | |

The expense of @crip659's suggestion of a man lift is a lot less than the medical and physical expenses of falling off the ladder because you overreached and there was no one to jam down the ladder, or because the bottom of the ladder slipped because the tractor slipped out of Park. Best to consider staying alive and healthy vs the cost of the man-lift, or hiring an electrician. | |

So I won't be up there long. Just long enough to get the wire to a place I can reach while standing on the roof instead of the ladder then I am done. So renting a lift for an hour or so of work didn't seem practical if I could use a ladder. | |
