I just picked up the radon can and spoke to the homeowner. She knew the flat roof was made of metal but had no other info.

Thanks everyone.

I don’t think that is right. It’s actually Widow’s

" Legend has it that the wives of whalers in 19th-century Nantucket stared forlornly out to sea from rooftop platforms in search of their husbands’ ships. Over time, as sailors failed to return home, those platforms became known as widow’s walks."

Thank you, Bert. Not concentrating on spelling.
What distracted me, the widows walk missing guardrails as well as a roof hatch.
Thanks again.
Keep well.

Probably with many ladders, scaffold and conveyor. Roof jacks, restraint loops and safety harnesses.
