Painting over 32 years, having used 4-wheel drive booms for commercial applications several times, and swing staging off the top of high rise buildings, similar to window washers, I had never encountered needing a boom for a local residential home in our area, until this one. Knowing the attached greenhouse would not support a man walking around on top, we needed to paint just above greenhouse, to complete the job. This was left to the last portion, however we had already planned for the booms arrival on the last day. Rented from Wagner Rents, they were very prompt delivering equipment. Once unloaded, it took all of 3-4 hours to complete, as we used the 80' boom to paint all the way up. You may say, "Why an eighty foot?" which is a good question. I questioned that myself, and is the reason I requested Wagner Rents salesman to examine the job before we started. The biggest hurdle was the back yard of say 25' deep and 6' fence. When extending that far out, there's a lot of weight on the arm, and shorter boom could easily tip into the fence, and cause great damage to the greenhouse.
