    This is my preferred method. I keep (kept) a small selection of those 2 inch wide yellow straps with looped ends on my truck. I could mix and match them together for any size unit. I don't miss those days. Especially the 90-105 degree F days.

    Love those standing seam roofs too. We lost 18 scrolls after sparky decided to switch phases after startup. All had to be bumped over the seams. Fun to walk on to,I had a second degree burn the length of my forearm one 4th of July when I fell on one.

    I have nothing good to say about a standing seam roof.

    Could be worse - doing a re-roof (thankfully I was just in-house maintenance), our pigeon poo was 18" deep in spots. Ugh.

    Here in Raleigh if the building has a white membrane roof the Canadian geese spend a lot of time on it. Talk about large,high piles of *&#!. Alot of maintenance guys keep snow shovels on the roof. I'd send a picture of one,but it' too disgusting, looks like a sewer treatment plant blew up on a 2 acre roof.

    We have a distribution centr in town with a black rubber roof with a similar problem. It had supply air fans that were abandoned. The pigeons nested in them for years. One day one of their guys made a big mistake and powered the supply air fans on. The actuators began opening and it was like bombay doors opening. Years of pigeon nesting and every bad thing a pigeon could do dumped in allover the store and some of the fans even came on. They got in trouble. They had maintenance block the fans off so the pigeons left. Apparently the pigeons were a goose deturant. Now it is like you describe a goose sewage plant. They even had the nerve to tell one of our guys that the roof is not a toilet when they saw him pissing on the roof on camera.
