Riley Faces His Fear Of Heights | E7

[@hennessy4666]

I used to work în wood house construction, and belive me this guy has done a fantastic job considering hes alone, i know he has his wife - how Lucky he is! -but im talking about measurements, tool handle, ant all man stuff..... Dont be fooled by a couple minutes video, behind camera there are hours and hours of hard work, a task like this is usually done by a team of 4-5 Men in a couple of weeks if everything works fine..... Hat off mister Riley and ms. Courteney.

[@1718blazer]

My wife and I can’t hang a picture without almost killing each other. Great to see the team work you two have. Enjoying the series.

[@himhim3344]

Then never go canoeing together 😣

[@benjaminreinhardt259]

@@himhim3344 Funny you say that. My wife and I went canoeing. At one point she had me so irritated that I said, "You row like a jack ass." That was years ago and it has since become a joke between us. At the time she was very pissed. SO was I.

[@shsharrell9267]

Yep, same here. I really admire them.

[@charlessanderson2635]

So impressed with your attitude to Health & Safety Courtney, important in any construction job but even more so when you are operating away from paramedic/rescue services.

[@marcfournier823]

Where I live the screws are put through the ribs not the flats for the rough. Siding is done on the flats. Either way in a couple of years you'll need to tighten the screws because the slowly back out due thermal cycling. Great looking job so far.

[@seeqr9]

It’s worth mentioning to those who plan similar projects… don’t have helpers walking around below because of you drop those sheets it may as well be a giant razor blade. And don’t expect it to fall straight down necessarily because they can glide like a paper airplane and do some damage.

[@marcafred]

a huge congratulations for this mass of work done together !!! but I get chills when I see you handling these thin ole without gloves. The risk of a deep cut on your hands could totally delay your project. Fortunately no accident but put on gloves !!

[@danielpullum1907]

I am so impressed by the "TEAM". For somebody that feared heights, Riley acted like a lifer in roofing. Courtney is a suuuupppperrrr driver of all things mobile. I roofed our house two times but we are having a steel roof installed very soon. My wife forbid me doing the steel roof just because I'll be 80 next month. I don't like heights either because I have an inner ear problem that messes with my balance. The finished roof looks great1!!!!!!!

[@markbrodrick3774]

You two are getting it done, nice job. Now that you have the metal on the roof are you going to put some diagonal bracing in the trusses? This will keep the trusses from the domino effect if a strong wind comes up. Can you talk about the plans for the floor, concrete slab? insulation? That telehandler has been real handy in your build. Keep up the good work.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

Yes, the trusses received diagonal bracing as soon as the roof was on! Stay tuned for more info on the shop floor!

[@brettallenthomas]

impressive amount of work being done by 2 people.... cant wait to see the walls go up next..

[@freedom456able]

You GUYS do a fantastic job as a Married couple. Its rare these days, thank you for sharing. My Neice & her husband are DOOMED! They wouldn't know how to rough it LOL! And there 5yr old boy, my Nephew is so attached to me and calls me Stable LOL! referring to his own parents as unstable LOL! I have been converting my work trailer into a mini camper travel trailer; he watches me working with my tools & helps. The band-saw blows his mind how I cut free hand on it without taking my figures off. I have been recording what I'm doing with my trailer. Hopefully I will post it on KZbin later on. HAPPY NEW YEAR!

That is so awesome that your nephew has someone to learn from! 😊

I watch a lot of diy projects on KZbin and your channel if by far my favorite to watch. I sincerely hope you guys will get a sponsor for the tools because it would be great advertisement for any company, I’ll keep my fingers crossed 🤞 for you guys. So Dewalt, Makita etc …… sponsor these guys, they deserve it 👍🏻

[@ALF001Channel]

Yes, spend the money for a roofer. Built a home in my late 30s and roofed it myself. In my early 60s now and I thought I could do it again. Could be my age or two blown knees but I said uncle, roofer will be here next Friday to finish it off. A 10/12 roof with dormers is a pain.

[@seccat]

That Flexovent (the long Scotchbrite) in your ridge vent might slow flying embers from nearby Forest Fire.

[@TheSwedishCef]

nice work, understand the wonderful feeling when you are done with such a big job as a roof

[@alfblack2]

Love how Cortney is the contruction machine expert and safty manager.

[@justsilman]

I was going to say “hey what about the drone” but you came back and totally answered that question… you two are so awesome and such an inspiration, thank you so much for sharing your journey.

[@leomossn]

The roof is complete. Be sure to pay attention to safety when you work! The heat and sound insulation of the roof must be done well, otherwise the sun will be very hot and the rain will make a lot of noise! :)

[@robertbullitt7878]

Well done you two, what a great team. A lot of people will not realise just how hard that is to do especially with the long runs of 18 foot, we were overlapping with 3x6 foot sheets. The jig on the wood pallet, was just Genius !

[@geekazoid]

Not just that but the air quality is a significant impediment. Really slows you down and you can make mistakes.

[@canonicaltom]

Looks really good. Plenty of roof systems here in Alaska like yours that have lasted decades.

[@billrimmer5596]

I imagine that the roof being completed has tightened the building up a lot from rocking around. Fantastic job. I started at the beginning of your videos. Mesmerized.

[@AmbitionStrikes]

It mage a huge difference in the strength of the building!

[@feraxks]

Gotta say, that roof looks professionally done. You guys nailed it!

[@xzqzq]

I am deathly afraid of heights, such as being three stories up, over rebar....on the other hand, had no problem jumping out of perfectly good airplanes, many years ago...

[@bryanbatts]

I think y’all found a new calling!!!! Fantastic work!!!! 😍😍😍

[@duckninja9349]

I thought I had a fear of heights, but after joining the Army and jumping out of airplanes, helicopters, and rappelling off cliffs w/ no problems - learned I had a fear of falling (which apparently makes a big difference). Basically if I trust I won't fall (structure, safety device, etc.) not an issue. I also keep thinking it may be prudent to put a run-off ditch on the uphill side of your structure, to include moving all those big rocks up hill of the ditch to armor things, etc? Just thinking of minimizing erosion and rutting on all that flat space you've carved out in a heavy rain or in the Spring (especially since you don't have a slab down, etc. Keep thinking of all that fine dust and how a quagmire that flat can become w/ constant wet. Again, you all probably thought of all of this and this is way down on your priority list of projects, but can't help but share my thoughts...

[@MrRamkulov]

It's a beautiful roof and beautifully done.

[@larrygawne3529]

Great job. Don't know if you have seen it done, but there is a company who does just pole barns to a unbelievable quality level. Believe is RR Builders, Kyle is the guy on KZbin. They pre-drill thee metal to guarantee straight screw lines. I feel the highest quality buildings I have seen. Might help on sides . Enjoyed video, good luck

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We love Kyle’s videos! He predrills the walls, but not the roof because it causes the sheets to get scratched as you slide them.

[@willigrant]

It’s crazy how you guys went from woods to a barn so fast. And how the job was done properly with no short cuts!!!👍🏼

[@hanselgretel8563]

Both of you can just sit inside that building and say, "yep. we built this". amazing!

[@randallweaver7718]

I know from watching Kyle from RR how hard it it is to keep all that square so it comes exact. Yall totally nailed it. Kudos you two.

[@Graybeard_]

Not sure why you didn't sheet the roof first and then put a vapor barrier on top of the sheeting and under the metal roofing, but good luck with that. Having spent five years roofing up at Lake Tahoe, CA/NV, I can tell you that if you get snow and sun on that roof, the roofing screws will begin to back out after a couple of years. It is what they do. Snow compresses the roofing panels, then when the snow is gone, this compression is lifted. Do that 30 times and a few screws here and there will back out a couple of turns. Repeated hot, sunny days and cool nights does the same thing. Once the little grommet washer on the roofing screw is backed out enough, there will be a leak there. Screwing only on the tops of the ribs helps, but is no guarantee. You put your screws in the "pans". Another no-no in snow country because it inhibits the snow from sliding, and depending on the slope of the roof (yours is a "walker" so it is shallow) can cause the roof to load with snow instead of shedding it. In roofing there is what is called the "vapor barrier." The vapor barrier is what actually protects the contents of the house (sheetrock, carpet, furniture, etc.). Vapor barriers are usually felt paper or newer Reinforced Polyethylene plastic sheeting. They are attached to the top of the sheeting (OSB, Plywood). Any moisture (leaks or condensation from the metal) falls onto the vapor barrier and then drips/runs down onto the ground. The top layer of the roof (metal, asphalt shingles, wood shingles, ceramic tiles) are not a vapor barrier. Their job is to protect the vapor barrier from the elements. We used to do a side gig called a "roof tune-up." We would get up on the roof and re-drive all the screws that had backed out and check all the flashing around vents, dormers, sky lights, chimneys, etc. The best metal roof you can install is the standing seam, snap lock roof panels which use flat head screws along the seams which screw flush into the panel. Then the next panel snaps to the ridge of the previous panel over the top of the screws pinning them in place. They cannot back out. It is a much more expensive product, but from a roofer's perspective well worth the extra cost, as they have no maintenance.

[@duanebolen543]

That's the easy part putting the roof on wait till you start putting them sides on where you got to hold up on the sheets them are always a pain

[@PWlangford1]

What a beautiful building. 🇨🇦

[@dirtbird43]

Your drill driver might have a clutch on it. The ridge cap foam is called reticulated foam. Best,

[@jeffbriggs6540]

We always drill top centre do the sheet so we can use a small clip and a rope as wee we per drill all the holes except where the over lap is

[@theresaluvspims6163]

So proud of you two. What a pristine roof build. You both are ridiculously talented. So far everything you build is high quality. You put most roofers to shame. A team of 2 doing the work of 6. Praying for the fires out that way will die. Can't wait for what's next.

You did an excellent job on the roof and it looks really smart. On the other hand I think a few more trees need to go. With current conditions and the fact that it is raining ash, you need a good fire break from your house/workshop. One little spark and the whole lot could go up in smoke especially as you have not got a good water supply yet. Thanks for posting and keep safe

[@AmbitionStrikes]

We have significant plans for more clearing and thinning but have decided it is too dry to keep running the chainsaw this summer…. It will have to wait until winter!

[@footplate0]

@@AmbitionStrikes Thanks for the reply. Maybe its time for the 2 man hand saw :-) only joking, but it would make for a good video though

[@mr.miraclemantm.6455]

Nicely done! Looks great. Keep in mind that ridge-vent might leak a little with a driving rain, you might want to test a spot at the gable end from the tella-handler to see if you can force any water up and in? Also did your lumber yard ask if you wanted any caulk or self-stick weather stripping to go in the overlap joints of each sheet? They can also leak with a heavy rain or driving rain, or with snow melt that can wick up inbetween those joints. I would tackle that right-away. You also might look into ice and snow stops for both sides. If you go without, large sheets of snow and or ice can slide down without warning and destroy a car, truck, person, doggy, chipmunk, birdy, anything smaller who cares lol. Take care

[@AmbitionStrikes]

For those reasons we are doing a vented attic. That way if moisture does find itself inside the air circulation will help dry things out.

[@mr.miraclemantm.6455]

@@AmbitionStrikes Venting is good, but you can get alot of water in those places. Enough to ruin walls and ceilings. I would still test it abundantly to see what your up against. Water can produce dry-rot in wood if it is persistent.

Courtney, being unable to get the lifting vehicle around one side of the structure to raise roofing metal sheets from that side, might be described by some in the wildfire suppresion profession as having a lack of defensible space. ...

When do you add the vapour barrier / reflective layer under the roof? In Australia we would typically put a layer of Reflective Foil Laminate (RFL) or something like Aircell over the battens before screwing down the roof sheets. Makes it much cooler inside in Summer.
