Am I Too Heavy for My Roof

[Linus Sixpack]

I'm 320 lbs and I'm cleaning the gutters of my little Bungalow. I'm not botherred by the height but occaisionally I hear a creak that I dont like as I walk across the shingles.


Should I worry about my own wheight creating cracks etc....


Any heavy roofers have any advice????

If you aren't good to yourself, who will be?

your weight should be distributed over the rafters. 320 is a little heavy but consider the "snow weight" in the winter. the rafters are really wedged inplace between the ridge line and birds mouth/ top plate cutout. the nails at the top keep the rafter from shifting side to side.
