Not possible with my telesteps. I shake like a leaf going up that bad boy!

If doing a commercial building with a FLAT roof, I use a 24' or 28' Werner Ladder with self-leveling leg extensions.

On a house, I carry a 10.5 Telesteps to look inside an attic access, OR my "13' Big Boy" Little Giant ladder to look at the eaves of a house on the outside. Other than that I use binoculars. About once a year I'll have a 3 story house that some WAZOO buyer whines about us not being on the top of.

I apologize like crazy and offer to add $300 to his Inspection Fee to hire a Bucket Lift to raise me so I can view it at eye level - NOT walk it / View it. Have not had a taker yet.

I with you Dan on that subject. Lots of nice binnoculars on the market. Mine are auto-focus. Have'nt heard much from you lately. Feeling OK?

I also use a spotting scope with tri-pod, when I can not walk a roof.

I notice everyone has a ladder or something.

Don't any of you people fly???

(It's so much easier being a super-hero.)

I carry a Telesteps at all times. I have a 22ft Little Giant that mostly stays in my garage due to it's weight and size (though I like it immensely). I have a 32ft Werner Type 1A that I carry only when I know I'm going to need it.

My inspection vehicle is a Yukon XL, so I wind up strapping the ladder to the luggage rack. Looking for a better way to transport it without poking holes in the roof. Any ideas?
