Find Roof Access by Wetdryvac, Jain Sycamore

INSTRUCTIONS: Find roof access.

At some point, I might like it if my edits to this task didn't vanish.

This task is officially geared towards finding roof access. I've been on top of a lot of public and private buildings, from government to post-soviet tax buildings and block apartment houses, and so far they've been pretty easy to get access to. Then I moved into a 1905 victorian, two stories tall with a nearly full attic and a secondary attic above that.

Said roof leaks just a touch, and I've been bashing my brains for means and methods to get on top of it to repair it. Most ladders stop at around 40 feet, and I don't have one of those anyhow. They're expensive. This roof is probably at about the 40 foot limit of most ladders.

Also, I know bugger all about roof repair as I begin this task, so some of the task will be devoted to, "How do I fix this?" While I'm up there, I'll also need to re-flash both chimneys. And attain a partner for spotting.

Found roof access to:

American Visionary Art Museum
800 Key Highway
Baltimore, MD 21230
(410) 244-1900

...but didn't use it, so it doesn't count. I should have remembered this task and talked to security.

And finally got out onto my own roof to do some repairs. I am pleased to report that the roof access was a success, and I laid down sealant. I am less pleased to report that the leak isn't entirely fixed, and that I have no idea why. But, it's the middle of the night so I'll creep my way out onto the scary roof and shoot a picture of the sealant tray.



Mostly, this proof is probably only interesting because it took so darn long to find roof access to my own bloody domicile.

Migraine? All gone now, but that sealant sure doesn't help.
