Back to the Build: Hurricane Ties, Fascia Headers, Flannels | Solo Off-Grid House Build

[@billelsener6192]

It’s coming together. Y’all are awesome. Thanks for sharing you life and adventures. Still praying for y’all. ❤️🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏

😂I know that I love ice coffee. Especially with French vanilla and caramel

[@AdamDeLayDIY]

Glad you're back on the house build! Boy that really stinks that the OSB is the wrong size. Hopefully it doesn't take too long to get things all straightened out! Not to much longer and you'll have a full roof overhead! I'm sure the kids will love to play in there!

[@RickMatheny-yi4pg]

If it's not one issue it's another. Brother you are amazing in trying to think how you can get it done. Yes this week is Thanksgiving, a d you have a lot of things to be thankful for. GOD bless your family and keep them all safe.

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Thanks Rick! Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family as well!

❤ great job ❤

Green lumber is easier to nail in to than dry lumber. The nail gun shouldn’t have any problem. 😊

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Interesting, well something changed about the lumber, my other boards were #2 prime, and these were regular #2 grade. Nail gun worked fine in the morning and as soon as I started using the new lumber it had issues. Even tested it on a couple old boards, no problem, new boards, wouldn't drive. No knots in the nailing area, weird 🤷‍♂️

[@flowerstone]

That is odd. I use Doug Fir here in Oregon. Not sure what species grows where you are or what you use. Maybe it’s stickier when green? You are doing great working out the problems of building by your self. Always better when there is someone holding the other end of the board. 😊

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

We have southern yellow pine down here which has a very high sap content 🤔

[@andrewpowellnz]

Keep up the good progress.

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Appreciate the support!

[@josephmiller6866]

😂 funny, you said glad fall was back so you could wear you flannel shirts. I'm the same way and my wife gets tired of me wearing them. Lol. And she is the one who bought them for me... I geuss that means I wear them to death. But I love them

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Hahaha exactly, I feel you brother 😂 but seriously, I'd live in flannels all year round if I could 😄

[@stevenhartley1350]

As part of my regular maintenance of all my power tools I use WD40 Dry Silicon spray, because i've found that it helps with the running of all my tools without leaving any residue. Dry Silicon spray is also great to use on hand tools to keep them protected as well, especially in high humidity areas, because it helps the tools eg Drill bits, chisels etc from rusting.

[@Jeff-vt8kn]

You should've used a palm hammer to put those hurricane ties.

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

I have one, but I wanted to use my hammer 🤷‍♂️

[@loucinci3922]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

[@trevorward85043]

Great progress being that you have fresh lumber, dodgy nail gun, AND you're working solo. Happy Thanksgiving to you and the fam! 🥰

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

[@suenorton873]

Your doing a great job Justin! Happy Thanksgiving family

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Thanks, Happy Thanksgiving to you as well!

[@paulmonk7820]

Might have taken less time to predrill nail holes than to hammer them in. 😮 13:41

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Sometimes, I think the old-fashioned way works best, even if it is more physically demanding and a bit slower. It also helps me appreciate the rest of my battery powered tools 😄

[@shawnsourk2448]

Happy Christ the King day to you and yours.

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Viva Cristo Re! God bless you 🙏

Thanks for sharing

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@joyceandjohngrambush9488]

Happy Thanksgiving, celebrate the blessings from the Lord, enjoy your videos!

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Happy Thanksgiving to you as well, we appreciate you!

[@j.markkrzystofiak9907]

I think that settles the pronunciation debate. That nailer is a “DeWon’t”.

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Haha, at least when it comes to the nail gun, I am inclined to agree with you...

[@stephenkennedy9205]

That's a big, big job to be doing all alone God Bless from your Canadian Friend.

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

It's not easy, but very rewarding! God bless you 🙏

[@Vinny-i8o]

Good work today my friend keep it up 👍

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Thanks for joining us 😀

[@familiewisse832]

Better never look in to the nailgun😮 ...😊

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Yeah, not the best idea, but it can't fire if I don't pull the trigger

[@richardbritton5280]

nice job ty

[@alliewolf71]

[@RonKoswin]

Do you need building inspections at various points of your build???

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Yes, we are complying with the Countys building inspection schedule

[@thomasfruge]

👍👍👏😊

[@hughroney6342]

No ladders on your gable ends?

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

I haven't built that part yet

[@hughroney6342]

@@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid What are we to do with you? LOL backwards to the way we do it, oh well, you will get it done no doubt. When looking at that high stuff to do, look at your tractor and the loader,, bit of thought and you will be amazed at what will work. I lifted a roof, into place last summer with mine, 17 feet wide and 7.5 inches deep, complete with OSB 9 feet at highest point I think my Ford is a bit smaller than your Tractor

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Interesting, that would certainly be a sight to see. I do things the best way as I see fit for me to do them by myself. Sometimes that means reverse engineering things and doing it one board at a time 🤷‍♂️

[@hughroney6342]

@@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid Remember that with rope or chains from your Pallet forks, on the back bar you can safely lift things that won't fully sit on the forks wider and deeper, I just had a 5 foot material bucket for that lift.

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Good point! My house sits on 4ft piers, so my roof is actually too tall for me to lift things all the way up to the roof with my tractor though. The front loader has a max reach of 10ft. Of course there is always a way to make things work,but sometimes it's easier for me to brute force it and just carry things myself 😄 I'll definitely be using the tractor to get the osb and metal sheets up there though!

[@paulmonk7820]

What was wrong with the OSB size? 14:00

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

I ordered 8 ft OSB and received 9 ft OSB. Waiting to hear back if they are going to be able to swap it out or if I'm going to have to figure out how to use it...

[@paulmonk7820]

@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid Yeah, that throws everything off. BTW, glad to 👀 you back on the build! 👍

[@mikelmar5723]

You should built a walkway plank around the house it’ll be easier for you I’m just saying

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

😄 that would be so helpful haha

I hope that you all had a wonderful time today celebrating Christ The King of The Universe. That nail gun has been a source of frustration but I think you’re handling it well. This Thursday we are all thanking God for goodness and mercy to your family and all who subscribe and watch your channel.

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

Thanks William, it certainly is a great day for celebration! Viva Cristo Re! We are blessed to have you and so many others as part of our community here on KZbin 🙏

[@moirani2021]

One must continuously mute your videos to follow along, and I wish there was a gentle background tone playing so that I could listen to you without music.

[@chasjacks9378]

You and nail guns just don't seem to get along.

[@DIYorDIE_Off-Grid]

You got that right haha
