Need to safely access a roof overhang to trim a PVC pipe, but risking lethal ladder slip without a secure anchor point.
Ladder safety accessories are available but may not address unique roof overhang angles; temporary anchoring solutions damage roofing materials and are not reusable; renting a boom lift is expensive and cumbersome for a small task.
