Looks like a flat roof. I've been in one where the head clearance you show was at the peak and it got lower from there. Had to go in head first and back out, no turning around.

Not a flat roof. It actually looked like it would have a lot of room from the outside.

Hey, it's better than nothing. One or two holes is better than one at every joist. Slide some PVC or fish sticks in there and cover some ground.

Looks like it might be a hip roof.
And I bet they have a huge heating and cooling bill with that poorly insulated attic.
But we are talking about electric haha

I had to crawl to the other end of the house. About 100ft. It sucked. Ripped my shirt and pants on nails several times...

Back in the day chimney sweeps used to have "climbing boys" They also had climbing girls for the really small places.

Damn, I guess you cant. It's prohibited by The Climbing Boys Act of 1875
Damn Socialists, why can't they leave the free market alone?

I looked that up on Wikipedia, Joe, that was an interesting read. I had no idea that was such a huge part of the history of chimney sweeping.

I have more helpers than you have brain cells troll. I spend my days making sure all the jobs we have going on stay on schedule. I do a lot of the hard tasks because I can do it faster and my guys know I won't ask them to do anything I won't do myself. I left there and helped rough a kitchen in that was behind schedule.
I can't believe I just responded to a trolls opinion.......
