How come inspectors' ladders always look new? It looks like it was
bought the same day.

Here's why they look new......some times people doing inspections
(like CE's / SE's) come from a long way away.

I know a couple who in these situations, go to the local HD ....buy a
ladder use it & return it.

Or they charge them to the job & it get's "lost".

I'd like to know what that eye hook is *barely* holding up.

Nothing important - just the electric service.

Should be able to use 2x4's for new trim where the fascia meets the
shingles. Will make nice for layer 6.

If your premise is right in that they have electricity. Possible redneck
clothesline I guess.

It's an observation, not a premise. You can see the service cable
looping down below.

"It's an observation... You can see the service cable looping down

Just for fun, I'm donning my lawyer's wig - the British kind, not the
fungus.

Fact: I know that a single stranded cable is attached to the hook.
Fact: I know that there are 2 sections of black cable shown in the
lower portion of the picture.

Fact: I do not know that the black cable is the electrical service
cable for this house.
Fact: I do not know that the single stranded cable from the hook is
attached to the black cable.
Fact: I do not know that the 2 sections of black cable are connected
to each other.

Anything other than what can be directly observed is speculation.

Obviously those are "structural shingles", and the owner's chosen to to
add a bit of redundancy into the system.

It is possible that the cable in question is for the homeowner's
satellite dish. Beat up shacks always have satellite dishes.

Probably two roofs. Being the corner edge, each roof would have 3 shingles,
a starter row, first row of shingles, and being he corner a corner ridge cap
shingle. Of course a good roofer would probably have at least pulled the
ridge cap off so the second roof would lay flat, but then.....

I'm pretty sure I know what the wires in the photo are.

phone line.......bare wire is the "strain relief" / "tension tie"
taking the "pole to house load.
The loop is the telephone conductor coming off the pole to house line.

I might still have one ot these in my garage from when my land line
connection (very old) went away.....unless I tossed in a recent clean
up.
