My husband and I just DIY'd our metal roof last summer. It was labor intensive but fairly easy to do. It took us a few weeks to complete only because we replaced all of the decking at the same time (as most of it was delaminating). Total cost of materials for a snap-seam (hidden fastener) roof and new decking was approximately $6,000.... Our previous roof had been totalled in a hail storm so including the insurance payout, our actual out of pocket cost was like $100. So far we love it.

Two things I would do differently: One, don't skip the snow bars if you get any snow at all. We will be adding some before next winter. Two, add roof anchors every 8-10 feet under the ridge cap. This roof is horrible to walk on. Ours is only a 4/12 pitch and I fell off once.... My feet started sliding and there was nothing I could do to stop it. Luckily I was on the side that's only 9-ish feet off the ground and I was able to ninja roll out of it.

This is a great VR room build idea, unfortunately instead of posting a build DIY of a few simple things from Amazon, or a home improvement store some people want to try and charge a middle man fee. Just using google I found pretty much each component used to build this.

Ceiling hook


Fall protection lanyard


Rock Climbing Carbineers

 

I didn’t look too heavily beyond finding the exact harness, but already you have the majority of what you need and probably spent around $150.00, asking for $300.00 dollars to gather a few simple already manufactured items together for a DIY project is ridiculous.

cross posted this from /r/vive hopefully to save more people from wasting money.

It's for occasions like this (and roller coasters) that I bought one of these. After having lost two pair in one year I bought one of these things. I went white water rafting and didn't lose them. Somehow that little strand of elastic is like magic.

Oh, my bad. So the untrained guy using no safety equipment is okay, but the motorcyclist isn't?

A rope tied to a stable part of the roof or cheap-ass roof anchor is a good basic safety precaution. There's no excuse (other than neglect) to not use something when on the roof.

Your opinion is dickish because you're painting motorcyclists (and other people injured during entertainment activities) as bad guys, but people who injure themselves from neglect doing "acceptable" things are okay. That's hypocritical.

And this is hardly a "flame war".

Hahaha, no not the harness, just the anchor. Just a tie off point I don't need to worry about.

I'm talking about nailing that up in my attic and using it as the point I tie the top of the ladder onto. Something strong enough to not move.
