had friday off,so I finally replaced some shingles that blew off the side of the barn. While up on the ladder,I noticed the roof of the old pump house was ready for roof coating, While I have the brush out I might as well do the other 3 shed roofs that have roof coating on them, While on the chicken coop roof coating it,I see a loose slate on the old wagon shed,Imight as well get the rooster ladder out and fix the loose slate.If I look I will find plenty more stuff to do,... ,

Looks like you are bucking the tide. In most cases, shi$$ runs down hill, BUT it seams that you are finding the poo upslope. LOL

WHAT is a rooster ladder??

larry@stinescorner · Jun 17, 2012

it is a long thin wood ladder the pa dutch neighbor gave it to me,you lay it on the slate roof,it hooks over the peak of the roof,so you can climb on the slate roof with breaking slate, He called it a rooster ladder.

40 miles south, we call them chicken ladders. Because you're chicken to walk on the slippery steep pitch roof.

Used one of them back in the day when I was a teenager to replace a sheet of tin on the old Ragan house.

Roof has a very steep pitch.

Thanks Larry - I never heard them called that, and I can also understand why they might be called "chicken" ladders.
