Boom Lift reach

Ken:
Sounds like it is more work and will take a longer time to get the unit to you, than it will take to get the repairs done. I'd have someone come and do the work, since I'm guessing you also need to get boom delivered.

Us cheap do-it-yourselfers' not afraid of heights would do the following:
Back on the farm we would get a light rope and tie a short sliver of pipe to it as weight and through it over the roof. We would then tie that end to a heavier rope and pull it over the roof and attach the heavy rope to the bumper of a vehicle on the opposite side of where you are working. We would then put the base of a two stage extension ladder in the loader bucket with the loader in up position. With the bottom of the ladder latched tight to the bucket with load binder straps we'd use another ladder to get to the top of the bucket.

Then you just climb the ladder and use the rope for support. Sounds like the job will only take a few minutes to complete. We sometimes would use a second rope tied to a 5 gallown bucket for tools. A person on the ground can raise and lower it.

Boom Lift reach

Ken:
At the start of this, it sounded like you only had a quickie fix to do. The Genie web site indicates the S-45 has a 51ft. working height but also has a articulating jib boom like the photo shows. That should be helpful working around chimneys, etc.

The ladder in the FEL bucket is dangerous. When in grade school one of my classmate's father died when the bucket tripped. Back in those days, most loader buckets were mechanical with a trip release and spring return.

Earthworks:

We did this before duct tape was a widely used maintenance and all-around building material.
