...Okay. That's not exactly true. But it was a smoking 87 degrees today and Johnny had a roof cleaning on a cedar shake roof in sunny Silverdale.
To explain a little bit about this particular cedar shake roof and what cedar shake roofs are (because until I talked to Johnny, I had no idea), they are basically just wooden (that's the "cedar" part) roofs. Now this particular roof is incredibly steep and the mold and moss on that cedar shake make the roof very slippery so it can be dangerous to clean this type of roof yourself. Johnny equips himself with all sorts of safety equipment before embarking on a job such as this one, with special cleated shoes to grip the roof without damaging it and a harness and rope.
Do-it-yourself projects are great. But some projects, such as the ones that can endanger your life (or your roof) should be left to the professionals. This is one project we don't recommend you "try at home". At least not without the help of a licensed, bonded professional with super grippy shoes. Did I mention Johnny has all that?
