Building a Hunting Cabin 21: Metal Valley and Hip Details

In this episode of building a hunting cabin, I show you our process for metal valleys as well as metal hip details. Actually this video is full of helpful tips and tricks when installing metal trims. Let me know in the comments what you thought about the episode.
with losing my mic audio for about two days, I tried something a little different and personally kind of like it. I was able to just show the process and then voiceover what I was doing to detail the metal valleys and hips.

[@RRBuildings]

wondering what you think about this style of video? having no audio recorded forced me to do it a little different. I kind of liked it

[@adambell2068]

RR Buildings I liked it, but I also like it the other way as well. I would say just mix it up with some live audio and some voiceover throughout the entire video when you can.

[@austinherzner6361]

I liked it most definitely you can explain more and into more detail

[@joeshap92IHSV]

I like the in depth detail you can go into with this style, but I also like the banter you have back and forth with your crew

[@CAAC1979]

Awesome

[@warnerrobins8542]

I personally enjoyed the video format you did. The information you talked about was a lot easier to understand. I do have a question. I always thought a metal roof would last 50 years or more. Why would they only make the nuts or screws last 35 years. I probably misunderstood what you were saying but I do you remember saying 35 years?

[@MarkKnue]

At minute 11:36 of this video, you took us a step back to see how a project can provoke artistry & technical beauty. I swear the Hunting Cabin's symmetry, line proportion, and evenness gave my OCD/Attention Deficit a short circuit into a calm, relaxing serenity that only a few things can provide for me. A few seconds later you said the same thing.

[@ssok4133]

The building industry needs more contractors like yourself! Attention to detail, and pride in work. Awesome job man! Keep it up.

[@steventhury8366]

Great work, and it's even greater that you take pride in your craftsmanship. The world needs more of this in every field.

[@davidthomas2126]

In my younger days I worked for a contractor. I really enjoyed watching you with your eye to detail. The package to detail generates more jobs. Thanks!

[@truongduongvan6528]

For me, the ideas in kzbin.infoUgkxAfqpMLyFn37qcqUl0FAzqkkycQeXqrhP Plans were a starting point for building different sheds . Ryan gives ideas that allow an individual to draw nicest conclusions into the design and building of his or her own shed.

[@xKurtTurkey]

Here in Australia I've never seen steel soffits, I really like it! I'm an Electrician so see alot of different builds everyday. I must say the effort you put in to your build is incredible. It sure shows how much pride you take in giving the best possible end product. Well done! I'll be sticking around watching previous videos and any future ones.

[@Beandiptheredneck]

xKurtTurkey they are actually made of aluminum, they are pretty much standard on any new or remodeled house in Ontario where I live

[@bobbymcbulge18]

Perfect, absolutely spot on! I think the system you have for the ridge cap is more than adequate, unfortunately there’s not a lot of other options. If you where in my area I’d love to help you build my shop in a heartbeat. These days it’s hard to find someone that’s willing to do it right and be proud of what their end result is. I always build to the best of my knowledge and abilities and it’s nice to see that I’m not the only one with that mindset. Keep up the PROUD work.

[@prestonlane6253]

I've worked in IT for over 20 years. You are absolutely correct about how being hands on with something can be so gratifying. There have been times where I've gone out to my workshop and just run some scrap wood through the table saw to create saw dust and get that fresh cut wood smell in the air. The older I get, the more enjoyment I get out of working in my shop, wrenching on the family cars, and finishing up the quasi pole barn addition that I have been building on the back of my woodshop. If you're ever down in Alabama, I'd enjoy the chance to get to meet you. I don't drink, but I'd be willing to buy you a beer.

[@psalms1441]

This INSANE attention to detail and layout, always remaining conscious and aware of maintenance and wear issues (long after you’re off the job), prioritizing BOTH efficiency and aesthetics… folks- when you operate your business at this level, your name begins to sell every job. I would wager that with a large percentage of of this guys jobs, he is the only bid that the customer sought.

[@upnorthkenny9674]

I’m a contractor and I learn every day but I tell you what I’m learning a lot from you and I really appreciate it thanks brother!!💯

[@motley331]

I am stunned by your attention to detail and your craftsmanship ...

[@jeremyfreeman866]

Always nice to see a fellow contractor that takes pride in his work. Watching a few of these for my own little cabin and confident in metal roof now for sure.

[@PRACTICALBUSHCRAFTSURVIVAL]

THIS IS WHAT I CALL TAKING PRIDE IN YOUR WORK, TRULY AMAZING WORK. THANK YOU FOR SHAREING.....

[@jeffreycollins7297]

SECONDED!

[@siboo709]

Thirded !! Lol Great attention to detail.Brilliant.

[@davidhuston6677]

I'm just a normal retiree living in So. Calif. and really proud to know that there still are craftsmen here in the good old U.S. of A. , I enjoy your videos keep them coming .

[@tomalberts5195]

I am sure the customer is going to be thrilled to have a great looking building and can see the pride in workmanship that has gone into ot..

[@IkeTomas2010]

I just started learning metal roofing about a year and a half ago. Your stuff looks really nice I typically don't do such complex roofs so I found this interesting and educational.

[@larss592]

Really nice job guys. I spent some years doing commercial metal roofs and siding. It is nice to see the new innovations and the quality of custom returns being fabricated on the job. Shows proper skill and care. True professionals. I have recently seen some absolute disasters installed. No bird stops, abrasive blade cuts, dimples the size of rocks, holes big enough to insert a hand, screws through the ribs and without grommets etc. Ask and i will send pics i took of a bad job to brother in laws house

[@marshallcollins8634]

I liked the videos with audio. I watch these videos to learn and it helps me understand better what you are doing and why. It is also nice to see someone that puts the extra effort into what they do, so many do what is needed NOT to get fired.I am not in good enough shape to do this anymore but I like to keep up with different styles,systems and new stuff. Thanks for the video.

[@DannyBoyInMarseille]

Your work is very close to perfection and always improving. Imagine how good it will be in 5 or 10 years...

[@brooksspriggs1422]

The videos show the pride you guys put into your work. The fact that your mic quit working isn't too much of a factor. You came in with a voice over to still explain what is happening. It's awesome either way. Keep it up

[@andyb9767]

Very impressive. I'm not sure how this building could have been built any better. Wow

[@oby-1607]

Your work ethic is second to none. So many people take pride in the job is done. You take pride in the job being done as best as can be for the technology we have now.

[@buyamerican3191]

Great job! Your attention to detail is much appreciated. It seems that the industry has been conditioned to accept poor quality as normal. Thank you for doing it right!!!

[@emmanuelgorgitza6072]

Awesome!! I do all my roofs with 24 gauge steel! Especially the flashings!! It helps with denting/oil canning and is crisper to bend!! Standing seam corners on those wall flashings, and wrap the corners and 45 the drip kick on that drip edge! Love your videos! It’s great to see someone else using offset snips!! 😆

[@311hitwall]

I doubt this is 24 gauge steel. Most of the stuff he has built, I believe, is 29 gauge.

[@angelasanders4539]

I really appreciate your work in this video I've battle back and forth on doing my own work because I know I can your words have giving me strength thank you

[@larrymeyers6913]

Im going to attempt to put on a roof on my cottage and garage (barn style roofs) and have learned so much from your videos. Thank you for explaining in detail on how an why you do the things you do.

[@Duckagee]

Being able to pull off any 2 piece flashing in just one is a sign of high skill. Especially when they're more technical and complex. Great tips. Thanks a lot

[@kyledean6659]

Good work Kyle......Two observations if we're going to straight plywood we never used the smaller quarter inch screws we find them to loosen up in 7 to 10 years they make a 5/16 made for plywood seems to last longer also we batten almost everything that way the building stays much cooler with the metal off of the deck heat... not radiating down great work thanks for the tips.

[@kickit59]

Kyle an amazing job on an amazing building! I hope we get to see some of the finished product on the interior! I am looking forward to the next video!

[@CalvinJ82]

Thank you for showing this technique so simply. Every other video I've seen over complicates the process. Perfect, simple solution with attention to detail where it matters. Thanks for the info, onto roofing the addition with confidence now. That valley was concerning me.

[@CyberCam1969]

This man is an artist! I'm a perfectionist and I love watching quality work!

[@kurtisogilvie4651]

Im a carpenter in Australia and this is some cool work love the vids! keep up the great work you have your self a great team

[@michaelkelly7323]

It’s nice seeing a fellow metal worker who knows what he’s doing great job!

[@moiragoldsmith7052]

Obviously a tailor in a former life...those precision cuts, darts, folds and belt n braces techniques. All beautiful stuff. Well done. xx

[@oemsmedic588]

you are an artist and a person who has pride in your work. Well done.

[@lancasteredc7773]

Yes man I agree 100% and it needs to be talked more about in the trades but it's amazing to see the work when your done and you did everything to a tee and to perfection. I love watching your metal work especially because it's super clean and professional and I work with so many guys and companies that dont care about those details.

[@user-fv9oj5xe3z]

Tell the truth on all things you and I know that the washers only last 8 to ten years providing you don't over screw them .I can say this your dry in is top of 100 percent.but the valley has to have deverters to keep water in that pan I've been roofing since I've been 15 and everything I know today is threw experience the guy that tears out and redo people's no care for ethics only there to get paid.but it's all common since.

[@thomasbuck4139]

Great craftsmanship, I was I roofer from 05 to 15 and have done many roofs and this a great fundamental video. And the zip system and tape provided definitely assures that decking will last a long time ... me personally I would have still done a dry in. But all around great work .

[@robertpetersen7153]

I first found you on tik tok and now I watch quite a lot of videos of yours on here. I’m a framer/ builder as well. Except I don’t work for myself yet. I’m only 22 and still learning ALOT. I’m learning more from you as well!! Keep it up buddy

[@kubiedubie]

I really like the attention to detail that you've put into that roof. I put a standing seam roof on my house this summer, and boy was that a shit load of work.

[@LGReBeL]

Worst roof I've seen in a long time.

[@michaelprosperity3420]

This was a great video. Love the series. You guys are like Edward Scissorhands with the tin snips.

[@jimcameron3948]

I am always impressed with the quality of your work. You're a real craftsman.

[@4legdfishman]

Nice work! Love the clean lines. You and your team a truly perfectionists and should be proud of your work. The hip looks great!

[@frankturner9791]

You couldn’t be more right about people not caring about their trades anymore. I feel the same as you and do the best I possibly can and to always try to improve quality and speed. Great job guys

[@jubankta1627]

We are our own worst critics,That being said you guys do absolutely fantastic work and there is reason to put down anything I’ve seen here!!!The job all things considered looks amazing!!!!!Great Job!!!!!

[@ev2sqd]

For the record, keep doing it. I really enjoy it!

[@brianj4543]

The voice over after is fine but always good to hear it live. The exposed fastners is more of an industrial look and I quite like seeing neatly layed out faseners. Like nice big rivted steel door on an old steam engine. Keep it manly.

[@crdjeep123]

I wish there were more contractors like you. Great job

[@fredroehl956]

Sometimes you just can't help but have to improvise, wether you are" splitting the difference" or many other solve on the fly issues that arise day to day in framing construction and nothing is perfect but a good carpenter can make it look perfect, great job on the valley you had to improvise and make it work and much respect from Alaska

[@steveberry4526]

Impressive workmanship! In our area we have to use 26 gauge material, because of the hail in our area of East Texas. Would love to work with 29 gauge, easy to cut and bend. You are a great craftsman in the metal field. Excellent work

[@davidgoodwin10]

I truly enjoy watching your videos you take real pride in what you do a true craftsman keep up the excellent work

[@markrichter7504]

Awesome job, wow it's really beautiful and you and your crews attention to detail is incredible. Thanks for bringing us along, love your videos. Peace brother...

[@jaredjw5108]

I’m hurting for work out here in Oregon man. This is awesome to see you out there gettin it

[@kevinryan4866]

Love it ! Your attention to detail shows in the final product! The narration is awesome !

[@rico1319]

Really nice to see the detail paid attention to the craftsmanship. Beautiful job and well done!! 👍👍👍😎🇨🇱

[@jasonedsall9449]

Your attention to detail and pride in your work would make me pay an unlimited amount for you to build my garage in PA

[@albundy1956]

Outstanding work Kyle, and the voiceover is just fine.

[@joelhunter4082]

You don’t have any bad video’s. I like them all. Thank you

[@HEB-ls8rn]

Great job guys Not everyone explain this the way it should And you did God bless yall

[@derricksowers9074]

I have worked a project with hidden fasteners for a roof system, and it was a pain to lay out prior to ordering materials, and the prep work seemed to take forever. On that project we used Central States Manufacturing, it was a very clean looking install and once you get the hang of the install portion it went rather quickly. They use lots of Z trims, gables aren't bad, valleys, ridges, and gambrel trim can seem to eat up a lot of time.The gambrel trim is easy to install just takes a lot of prep work to install all the Z fasteners properly. But also probably the most satisfying metal roof install look i have seen, when done right they look awesome.

[@RRBuildings]

I hear ya man. Standing seam is gorgeous when done and done right

[@MikeMartin-fj6vs]

Nothing like being proud of your work. Willing to show it off. Great job.

[@TylerBoespflug]

At 9:00 the way Greg quickly got a line for the last screw with swinging his arm is a neat trick!

[@ArtisanTony]

Good job! We usually pre-drill holes when were are worried about the oil caning. I have a punch also that works pretty good. The oil canning comes from that initial stress of the screw trying to get through the metal. Nice video.

[@fergusonlandmanagementweld1039]

I just had a shop built in November, the contractor I used should watch your video's and try half has hard as you do. If you were in South Texas, you'd be making video's on my build. Way to take pride in what you do, and always have the mindset of an apprentice, always willing to learn a better way.

[@dday9135]

Howdy Kyle, having you narrate the vid worked well. Thanks for sharing your craftmanship with us, It's always a pleasure to watch other folks who enjoy the details as much as you and the crew do! Jerry

[@jakebonner7855]

Absolute perfection a credit to the industry it's great to see you take such pride in your work👏👏👏

[@benignovillalobos3580]

Thanks for teaching how to install this metal panels very good and professional installation looks great.

[@dougropp1286]

Kyle, I've watched many of your video's, your extremely talented and the pride you strive for In your work is truly amazing. You do a really good job of explaining and articulating what you doing, Kudo's to a Master Craftsman (Something that I thought we'd only see on This Old House) Respectful Doug Ropp, Fort Scott, Ks

[@lawabidingman84]

You guys can do perfect things! Hi from Kazakhstan 🇰🇿

[@rodpotts2666]

You and the crew should be proud. You all do great work.

[@oldscout2514]

I always had a good warm fuzzy feeling when l finished a job. I tried to do better job, on every place l did work. I was asked if l could go work on a job 300 miles from home. We took a small crew and worked all winter inside, hanging doors & cabinets. I got what l thought was more than fair for working away from home.

[@fastman05]

The Hip Cap looks good, finishes it of nicely.

[@gordonclark7632]

I think that there some value in doing voice over on the video as you can describe what you are doing without having to worry about wind noise or even losing your concentration (safety factor) because you are thinking of what to say. I watch to see how things are done and totally enjoy each presentation. The effort you and your team put into making things neater is amazing. If only builders here in Australia put that much effort into appearance as you do.

[@MrTooTechnical]

the hips look great leave them as you do them. I would add some quad max on the upper piece as is overlaps the lower hip cap. kick ass. lates

[@-_.Nameyourcatdog._-]

Watched a couple of these done. Yours was the cleanest and seemed to be the best.

[@ironsales5669]

nice work on the gable end trim cut, I had been looking for a good example on how this is supposed to be cut. I have been driving around looking at metal roof installs to see how people have been cutting this part.

[@TheRooster1122]

The hip looks just fine Kyle stop beating yourself up man!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@gavinoroquearuda9456]

Those Z closer trims on the hip are 100% worth it, locks the ridge into place and only needs a few rivets to hold it in place, a lot better than using grommet screws, fewer penetrations are better, you are a good metal worker 👍🏽👍🏽

[@Likadees]

It's a joy watching you and your crew.

[@isaakunrauh7619]

I love the way you do your trim, looks good, I se you put a lot of effort in it 👍

[@Formulabruce]

Wooah, NO wind noise in most of this one! . Learned a bunch, again, Thanks!

[@matthewjohnston29]

You guys are awesome I love the videos . The level of craftsmanship and detail are awesome the customer is lucky they got you for there Biulder

[@ghk915]

Thank you for showing it in details and explaining it in details too. Excellent, Awsome work. Now I can go an try to do my moms roof that is real bad.

[@MagnetronMonkey]

Hey, I think this build is the best looking yet. Good job.

[@dokmanian]

i think that hip looks awesome i don't know how you can make it look any better great job

[@The_Trucker_Gamer]

Looks really good. So much easier and quicker than shingles. You take pride in what you do and it's pretty rare a tradesman takes pride in what they do nowadays.

[@bcmfarms]

I wish every builder where as through as you guys! Great job!

[@gunnerr7109]

the "wind wribin wain " gets me everytime lmao

[@jimgam730]

Love your professionalism and the fact that you take pride in your work. This one is turning out great. As far as the audio, personally I prefer the live as opposed to the voice over but, that's just me. Already a subscriber and always look forward to your videos.

[@terryhill4732]

The hip ridge cap looked a lot better than I first thought after you trimmed and bent it

[@sparky2059]

It's all good, the pride, good work ethics and Two great guy to work with can't ask for anything better than that. By the way, How the truck!

[@CHANNELCHECKER381]

Man, you are a professional! I love your attention to detail.

[@davidacosta8004]

Good work. Not too many installers try to align the ribs in valleys or hips, I see that you do, so do I. Enjoyed video.

[@mischafellner2892]

Nice work roofer. To the viewers FYI this guy is doing a good job. A very good job. A correct installation.

[@JOHNMORIN100]

That job has much awsomness THE BEST I HAS SEEN.... 1000 POINTS

[@terrystephens1102]

Master class in roofing, beautiful job Kyle 😃👌👌👌

[@jpwilson1659]

It is refreshing to see someone that takes as much pride in their work as you guys do....amazing stuff. I have to ask though...you guys finish everything so clean how do the electricians manage to get in and hang lights and such on the exterior (and finished interior) without really screwing things up? It's all done so clean I can't imagine that you could hide any error after you guys were done. - I almost feel sorry for them...they'd have to be super careful and not get sloppy! LOL. Great videos. Thanks for your time.

[@hondolane1]

like your detail. I , likewise, like to leave a project as perfect as I would want it on my own house. I like the magnetized boots. Awesome idea.

[@stevenmyers6076]

One of the better roof videos Ive seen. Explanations when needed, good detail but not too much talking.

[@nelmor29]

Amazing work brother. Thanks a million for your priceless advice. Very beautiful clean work...👍...
