I'm still scared to death of heights/slope on a roof

I'm building a shed. It's 8x12 with 8' walls and a 27 degree slope on the roof. I had friend help me put it together. He put the decking on one side of the roof. When I was trying to figure out what I could to get the other side on I realized that some branches were in the way. They were to close to power lines for my comfort so I called some tree trimmers and it turns out they do contracting stuff too. There was a 3 hr min and the branches took 30 min so I asked them to do the decking as well. OK problem solved.

Still needed to put the felt and shingles on. It's going to rain here tomorrow and Fri so I figured how hard could it be right? I got the felt on. I hate every second being up on that roof. I have the siding on so it is structurally sound and no shaking I just do not like the slope and feel like I will end up dead any second. I'm going to see if I can hire my brother in law to do the shingling. Pretty sure I will not be up there again.

Just thought I'd share.
