Now, that sounds like real world wisdom. The ladder I'd be
using is fiberglass. It is 300 pound rated, and I weigh

ibuprophen for a long time.

The two length of hose I've got now, are some kind of vinyl
with nylon mesh woven in. these have lasted for about 20
years. They have been hanging on the shade side of my
trailer since about 1994. They are reasonably light weight.
My Dad had some rubber hose, which was heavy, stiff, and
clumsy.

Don't know if it's been mentioned...are you sure there is sufficient
water pressure to get water up to that roof? Have a little experience
with connecting outside faucet to use on second story, and it wasn't
much pressure.
