Holy cow! Do you have any of your knee that wasn't touched?! Man, I've dealt with just an MCL tear/surgery/rehab and know how long that took and the work you put in, I can't imagine all of the other stuff. Hang in there and hope you get back on your feet asap!

Your having a plan, knowing materials, and explaining why you do what you do is appreciated and impressive. You make great videos!

I used Ondura on a pole barn roof 15 years ago. It's quick and easy. I, and my children installed it. The roof has survived a few tropical storms and many nor'easters. The finish is breaking-down now and I'm not sure I'll bother painting it. It looks appropriate for an out-building. Driving the screws correctly is very important, as is facing the overlap away from prevailing winds. My prevailing winds are from the southwest, but my storm winds are from the northeast, so I faced the overlap to the west. They're starting to curl-up a bit. The foam inserts are not optional if you live where there are birds or wasps.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Awesome! Everything I've used it on for the past 6 years has held up great. I'm very pleased with the product. Thank you for sharing and for watching. :)

[@catgynt9148]

I was pleasantly surprised by your use of the Omdurman shingle roofing product. I covered our out building (aka barn) with the same material 20+ years ago. It still looks great. Love the aerial images of your progress. Thanks for sharing this video. Looking forward to part 4. Until then, make today great. Cheers,

[@alansmith4734]

Using T1-11 upside down on the roof, to make it look like Tongue & Groove inside was awesome! Pre-drilling the roof panels on the ground, is also a Safety Plus! Bonus: April Wilkerson Steel Toed Shoes, coming soon!

[@AprilWilkerson]

: ) Thank you, glad you like it! Yeah predrilling makes it sooo much faster to install.

[@lonnywilcox445]

I reroofed my garage with Ondura 18 years ago and it will probably be the last roof the garage ever needs, at least in my lifetime. I too was roofing before a storm, I think it is a rule that it must storm while roofing. The one down side to Ondura is that when it gets wet it is slicker than cat snot. So if it rains just a touch it becomes an inclined skating rink.

[@jerryfrederick6610]

While installing roll insulation in a wall cavity once, using an impact / hammer stapler, I sunk a 3/8"staple into my left index finger right across the joint of the first knuckle locking the tip of my finger to the second knuckle. Sunk it right flush, straight into bone. Oh yea! I was wearing a leather glove. Not one of my more proud moments. I had to use a pair of side cutters to pull the staple out. That seemed to hurt more. I'm glad the staple did not break off while being pulled. That is something you should never have to experience and if you do only once. I think about it every time I drive by that home. It has been over twenty years ago now. Take Care and God Bless

[@Bradimus1]

We've done a composite deck that goes down to a patio with a pavilion with a steel roof. The inner portion is lined with cedar planks and we have a solar powered light. It's fantastic having the shade and feels special. Nobody has one other than us and the parks and some neighbor kids thought our yard was a park! This project looks great.

[@stanleykeith6969]

April, when those cut off pc. went down on you nice floor below, did those scrap pc. hurt or mark the floor below. Another Great Job to You and your crew. Jacob said he was glad it was Not a Nail Gun, April ! 🤣🤣🤣👍

[@AprilWilkerson]

Nah, the Trex boards are super sturdy and can withstand it! No marking at all.

[@AprilWilkerson]

Ha yes it is. I'm not good at doing simple. :)

[@claytonbink1647]

Nice work, April. I installed a roof like that about 20 years ago. The corrugations were quite easily ruined by focusing too much weight in any one spot. I noticed that you had a couple of extra pieces dispersing your weight over a larger area. Very smart!

[@scotttovey]

Great tips in this; like fasten the near end and the far end to prevent stretching.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

[@bradmeacham6982]

🤠 Glad to see you got some clamp on forks for your tractor bucket. Those will be handy for lots of tasks in the future.

[@cybertuta]

Awesome work! And I loved the way you secured the chimney area to prevent leaks, any additional layer counts. I was one of the early adopters of the Onduline tech in Brazil and it has only benefits in my opinion. The only think to keep an eye on it are hail storms after heat waves. I had one once, it was a week with temperatures around and above 110 and then a hail storm came from nowhere, hitting the softened sheets and punching holes on it like it was paper. After that I added an additional layer of sheets over the damaged ones to add strength, which proved right two years later when same scenario happened.

[@Whatley209]

I love the T1-11 idea. two birds one stone. awesome

[@nonameHEF]

Nice build, thank you for the video. Stay safe and healthy.

[@donnarichardstevens3163]

Nice build April. I'm curious about the purlins though. You explain that the underlayment is in case any water breaches the corrugated roof which is correct. The purlins installed horizontally will now trap the water. Surely the purlins in contact with the underlayment should be vertical 1" x 2" to let any water run off the roof. Then install another 1" x 2" horizontally on top to allow the roof panels to fix to. This also would allow increased air flow.

[@fredericrike5974]

April, I have seen the cricket detail for roof penetrations, but in the case of most fireplaces never understood why the chimney couldn't be twisted 45* and then just flashed. Especially with a round, drop in fireplace vent dropped into it. Gonna be awesome when the first BBQ is ready to serve! I can already smell it here in Dallas! FR

I'm going to check into the cost of the Ondura, as I'm looking at reroofing my home soon. Let's see if I can afford it. The look on your face, April when you put a staple in his shoe was super, glad he didn't get hurt.

[@eozen81]

Wow, I had never seen such a serious protection for chimney 🧐

[@bobrat]

I'm really liking this build

[@corymiller6986]

So if water gets past the roofing top "shingles", the synthetic material will help protect the T1-11. But with those purlins running horizontally how can it escape? Won't it just collect? Or did you add weep holes not seen in the video?

[@ewdtrey]

Those purlins should be installed vertically or diagonally and with gaps at joints. However, typically purlins are installed horizontally because they are made to go directly on the rafters.

[@DebrouillecoEN]

Not sure about U.S., but here (in France), the recommended way is to have a first row of vertical battens right on top of the rafter to increase the air gap and leave a direct water escape route and then add the roof battens/purlins horizontally to support shingles.

[@leifhietala8074]

@@DebrouillecoEN That's the way that provides the most possible ventilation under the roof.

[@robb0995]

That’s what I came to the comments to ask. As she described the air gap and ventilation path, it doesn’t appear these were installed properly to allow water or air to escape. Unless I was missing gaps in the aerial shot.

[@hipairbrush1053]

Nice work as always.

[@billyshumate853]

April it looks great. Might want to start wearing steel toed shoes 😂😂😂. Take care and have a blessed week and see you on your next video.

[@Hapsard]

Sooo, one comment is that to aid in under roof airflow to help prevent heat buildup, you might have wanted to leave gaps in your horizontal "purlins" to allow air to move up the pitch ... and put vents in your soffit (or in this case maybe in the T111 sheathing), and at the ridge. As the roof heats up the air in the gap it can escape at the ridge while cooler air enters at the soffit keeping the roof and the space below cooler. ... It may be, with your roofing material, the corrugation provides that airflow, but higher volume = cooler roof. Beautiful finished job.

[@chillozz1]

Nice work April & the rest off the team offcourse... Love to see that there are places where working with wood it's doable... Here in the netherlands is the woodprice soooooo high... That's so sadly :( love to work with wood

[@LukeRoblox]

Great video April!

[@jackostergaard4624]

Just a suggestion but something other than white for the metal valley flashing?

[@AprilWilkerson]

It's on the roof and never will be visible. Most roofers don't even mess with the three pieces we put on, which hide most of it.

Air space for reduced heating: smart. A lighter color, though, would have reduced heating even further. Lots of light colored roofs going up in hot states like Texas for exactly this reason.

[@juanmendoza7487]

[@buddyreed2623]

Will a driving rain allow water to come in the ends of the ridge cap? From the view at 14:35, it looks like there is a gap. Have good days!

[@critter9a]

maybe you should get Jacob some steel toed shoes lol

[@scotttovey]

That's the only problem I seen with that as well. But if you watch it carefully, you will see that April had the nailer in the location before Jacob moved his foot to the same location. It's the reason one should always be aware of where one is putting one's foot.
