Guys, I need some confidence here.
Just purchased a home that is 5 years old. I need to get on the roof to repair a ventilation stack flashing that is leaking water around the vent pipe and into my attic. My home is multi level, luckily the stack is on the lower level roof.
My problem is the roof is pitched at 45 degrees and I'm a little nervous about it. My prior home had a 30 degree pitch to the roof and I was on it twice a year with no sweat cleaning gutters. Should I be worried? It just looks a lot steeper. Luck is with me as the stack is only a couple feet from a roof line valley which I intend to use as a crutch for leverage on my feet.
What do you think?
