Don't do this when it's raining - Your floorboards are not as waterproof as your roof and the water will collect in your loft space, making it almost impossible to rotate your house again.

If your house
has a good sub-floor void, make sure you have a sufficient damp-proof course.

Don't most lofts have air-bricks and the like to prevent the build up of various fumes to prevent you needing respiratory gear when retrieving/storing Xmas decorations?

I'm no expert...
...but around the eaves is vented but the apex seems pretty well sealed.
Still, even with a few inches of water in it, the total volume of water would only weigh a few kilograms. If if it rained constantly, you'd be finished papering before a substantial amount of water accumulated. The extra weight would be negligible compared to the weight of the rest of the house and your rotisserie would cope admirably. So my original warning can be deemed nonsense.

However, if you live in a terraced or semi-detached house: Please ask for permission from your neighbour(s) before rotating.
