It is still holding up very well.

Looks great Barney. Ha you have the same ladder I do, were you able to walk on your roof or did you have to keep moving your ladder around? Ive been told I can't walk on my roof which is going to make applying this 10x harder.
That is a great ladder. It is perfect for carrying in the back of the truck.
I was able to walk on my roof to do the job. I cannot imagine trying to do it otherwise. You have to pour the stuff on the roof, spread it out as even as possible with a squeegee, then go over it with the roller. This would be extremely difficult without being able to stand on the roof.
In your case, I would try to figure out some way to spread your weight around - like putting thin plywood sheets up there or making a scaffolding to work from. Otherwise, I think I would hire the job out for a different process. I don't think I would try to do it from the side while working from a ladder.

This is good info Barney. Trying to do it all from the ladder has been my biggest concern with this project. I've gotten mixed info on wether I am able to walk on my roof or not. It does not have a factory ladder on the trailer, but ive read thats just something cheaper trailer options skimped on and does not necessarily mean it can't be walked on. If I were to walk on it I dont think i'd walk more crawl, but even then it makes me nervous. Im also going to have to do this all at a camp site so building a scaffold or something is not really possible. Up till now when ive been on the roof ive always used some 2x2 playwood sheets to spread my weight out, but trying to move around with those is very difficult. It would be very hard to work like that.
