We are going through at least a pair a week. It would also be nice if they would give a volume disount. Cougar Paws are the best things going at the moment but there does seem to be a situation here. Why is it that ppl try to "fix things" when they are not even broke. Talked with the guy at Cougap Paws about this, not that it did a bit of good. We have tried scooting it forward but will not go all the way.
#Cougar paw full size
The pad does not fill up the space on the full size which allows it to snag. Also, the new pads fit the full size & a half size which seems not to be a good ideal. Have had problems w/ pads seperating from the backing. I don't see how anyone can include those in the file without ever setting up a ladder. We are required to include a close up picture of one of the hail hits along with an over view showing the requisite amount of hits per square in oder to pay for one. If the roof's you were seeing were 8's and 9's I don't think any manager that I have worked with would allow any of their adjusters to total them without a good walk around. I personally walk anything up to a 10/12, hopefully they have at least a valley to use. As Trader said if you can see it from the top of the ladder it's going to be at the ridge too. Tom, I have done all of my IA work for one of the two big boy companies and I have never had a manager that would allow us to pay for a roof without at the very least looking at it from the top of the ladder. Here I am, 63 years old, climbing those roofs and two youngsters standing on the ground making an evaluation. These particular roofs were in the 8 to 9/12 pitch roofs. Both adjuster's had signs on their vehicles of the two big boy companies. Now we were just across the street and could find no hail damage.
Tom, unfortunately is right, we watched several adjusters in Plano walk around a roof, never did put their ladders up, and totaled the roofs. 10/12 is dangerous enough without a quick open parachute. I think it is totally insane for anyone to insist that a ridge shot be taken on a 12/12 pitch without rope and harness. Janice and I will not get on anything over 7/12 without the Paws and have never had a slip problem. I wear a size 15 shoe and the Paws 14 fits me perfectly. Janice and I both have the Cougar Paws and love em. I remember in Betsy totaling out all that blue peach stone slate on tenant houses near the quarter, placing it in a roofers warehouse for all my big mansions down in the garden district, never getting a complaint about walking the ridge, but managing to stay 6 months and work about 600. Not that anyone that cares enough to be on this board would do that, but there are a lot of folks out there that just don't have the professionalism. It ensures that the adjuster is not doing "drive bys" and they will if you give them a chance. It's always been so as far as I can remember, roof shot top down. He also said if a man made it a man can repair it that was in 1957 and I have never had a roof claim kicked back because I did not walk the ridge. He also said if you can see hail damage at the top of the ladder, it will also be on the ridge, and on steep 2-3 story walk around the block and you could see the missing shingles. Who started the trend-every ridge must be walked, and a photo taken from the ridge before you get paid? I was trained to measure roofs by a WWII vet who had one leg blown off, and he could walk on some of them, but his instructions were: get as close to it as you can. Other than wearing out a lot of pads in the Dallas area! I'm a big guy, and no longer the gazell I was a few years ago, but for me, they are the best thing going. I can easily walk 12/12 and have never had a problem. My Paws are 4 years old, and I won't get on a roof over 6/12 without them. They have replacable pads for metal and composition roofs. "sandals" that strap on over your regular footwear. I recently stumbled onto "KORKERS" on the internet. Roofs in NOVA, similar to Dallas, that my partner and I used to Rope & Harness daily, were all of a sudden not that steep to him, and he choose to "PAW IT".įalse confidence will get someone killed one of these days.
I just somehow cannot trust my life to a velcro pad and foam rubber. Have owned them since 1999, and used them twice. I don't feel comfortable on steep roofs anymore with these shoes. My foot will slip and leave a trail of pad on the roof. I have had several slips on roofs in excess of 9/12 pitchs.
