You could use the excess rubber on your beastie room table. Give the top a clean new waterproof surface to work on.

[@bridgethoskins9809]

Getting closer!! Looking great!!

[@ladytlifestylefitness]

Dave it’s looking great. But I would love to see a video of the boys meeting some of the beasties lol!

[@BlackZtar1]

That would be fun indeed 😁

Dave you need to narrate a documentary on Tarantulas in the wild,

[@barbhelle5481]

I like the roof. Tucker is doing a great job.

[@joshuarosenblatt]

I literally LOLed and got my morning coffee up my nose when you said it wasn’t sped up- that it was just Tucker going fast cause his feet were burning. Love you documenting this project. So excited for you and camera lady ❤

I have used rubber roofing for a big deep pond many years ago. has stood the test of time. Just like your roof will.

[@ahickin]

I’m loving the build video series mate 👍 Keep them coming

I never knew how they did a rubber roof!!! That was really cool!!! Like magic happening!!

[@stum8551]

I know we are predominantly here for the tarantula’s etc but really enjoyed watching these videos on the new beastie room. Something really satisfying about seeing a project/construction being built from scratch and its progress

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Awesome! Thank you!🙏

[@mikepetersen7319]

Poor Tucker! That must've felt like being in a frying Pan up there...and then He even cut Himself. But I'm pretty sure that Roof will stand the Test of Time. And therefore His suffering won't be in vain👍

[@AndyZoo1066]

Looking good Dave..

[@michaeldegroot7550]

I really recommend using an ac in your building. I have had a same style wooden building in my previous yard/home where I kept my reptiles. The roof was made up from 10cm pir insulation and the walls 9cm of Rockwool. And it still got very very hot in the summer when the ac was off. When the outside temp was towards the 35c for several days it would get 30c inside the room. Insulation does help but when there are several very hot days it still gets very hot inside. You will not prevent this with ventilation. The same goes for cold days outside. It is different than a brick house. It takes a much longer time before the inside of your house is heated up because you have air between your outside and your inside wall. Your new garden room doesn't have this. Heating with an airconditioning is four times cheaper than with an oil filled radiator. The initial expense of buying an airconditioner is a lot higher but it will pay itself back in the long run. And you don't run the risk that the room will get to warm if you put the airconditioner on the automatic mode. Also a very good mechanical ventilation is a pro. I did not install it so the stagnant air after a while would become very smelly and damp.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I have an AC UNIT waiting to be installed 👍

[@michaeldegroot7550]

@@daveslittlebeasties Fantastic!

[@michaeldegroot7550]

Another tip, my experience with such a building in the yard is that I got a lot of insects and specially wild spiders inside. At one time they really infested the place and pooped everywhere. So plug all holes and make sure there is no gap around the door.

[@michaeltaylor2449]

AWESOME looking build I cant wait to see the finished product 😉👌

[@DEAexotics]

here in America the sell what they call a silver coat you mop on the rubber roof it cools the roof helps reflect the sun helps keep the building cooler and protects the rubber roof and helps it last longer

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Very interesting my friend 👍

That was absolutely fantastic Dave, i think the rubber roof will work out fine, listening to what you said Dave, i think it was the right choice, anyway Dave another super job by yourself and camera 📷 lady Dave.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thanks 👍

[@nataliecordell6628]

So good to see the rubber roof in place Dave it looks fantastic and easier than I thought to fit, I hope you can find a reliable electrician soon to get the wiring done.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I hope so too

[@Markthespiderguy386]

Hi Dave that’s looking awesome with the roof on I can’t believe how good it’s looking and when you said it was quite cool in there was shocked

Yeh Dave that roof is going to make it really comfortable inside for you and the little ones. At least you’ll have a place to go if you ever need quiet time lol😂😂😂

[@TerilyneMarroquin]

I do believe that goes for the wonderful Camera Lady too😊

[@rasradders9708]

Looking really good ! Try the drinking game : Every time Dave says "rubber roof", you have to drink a shot.

[@beyondquestion]

6:39... Intriguing... It reminds me of a tire but, I know a still tire, sitting in the sun gets cracks and all, then again, it's to be under constant movement and pressurized as opposed to laying down and, chillin'.^^ Hmmmm, intriguing... \O>

[@silasstingy4700]

im so impressed with the skill of your workers x

[@daveslittlebeasties]

They are very cool 👍

[@BeneathTheGold]

Looks fantastic. If it ever came to it and the place actually did get too hot because of the rubber roof you could just get some of that plastic sheeting that’s black on one side and white on the other and just put it over the roof white side up and hold it down with something. Just a thought.

[@heleninglis9961]

Hope Tuckers feet have cooled down! 😂😂😂

[@Indiskret1]

Looking great! What about woodpeckers on the rubber roof? We got lots of those where I live, hammering away on everything!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

I dont think they will be a problem here 😂

[@chrisblood7395]

Between the military and civvie street, I did construction for 30 years. We did things a little differently - sometimes - but the outcome was the same. Still, interesting to see how you Brits do it. Also, very interesting to see the rubber roof; don't think we had anything like that in my day. We did have "membrane" roofs (the bank I worked in had one), but... not rubber. I'm eagerly awaiting the next video...

@@daveslittlebeasties weeeeellllll....we have fingerprint resistant cabinets, so they are easier to clean. and the dishwasher is put up higher so that a drawer fits underneath, which is easier for loading and unloading it (+ more space to store things). we also have big drawers on the lower cabinets... just a few hints on what camera lady might want too 😇

Dave .. u can use a white paint or roof cover to keep the temperature down some ...it reflects the heat from sun

[@SelenesCreationsByTheSea]

Look at these guys go ! I wonder if he cut that piece of rubber off cause Tucker bled on it when he cut his hand ?? Hope it wasnt a too bigger cut. This room is looking gorgeous !!

Hey Dave! What a great video! It’s really coming along now. Seeing this rubber roof going on is so cool. One step closer to completion! I wanted to ask: once the building is complete and we get back to the spider content, could we have a video on the sand spiders? Those guys are so cool & intriguing. See you on Monday, Dave.

[@daveslittlebeasties]

That's the plan!

[@HeySpiders]

Dave and camera lady, I am loving these room build videos! I'm absolutely looking forward to each new one. Dave, you could do construction videos too:)

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Thanks 👍

[@candyscott489]

Loving this project !! I have a tile roof & it’s nice. 😊

[@Rayraywheelz]

Felt is a must here in the states. First we have to put the felt the put on the rubber or asphalt shingles on top depending on what kind of roof you're doing. So in the states it's double protected. It's a mandatory thing that has to be done to pass inspection. And for rubber roofs like this one we have to use a torch to melt the rubber down not glue. Either way it looks great.

[@Hayley0412]

I can’t believe it has only taken seven days to get to this stage, do the builders know roughly when the work will be completed? They have worked their butts off no tea drinking, biscuit dunking, smoking builders, they probably take breaks but not an all day one, sadly the bad ones cast a shadow over the good ones sometimes! I’m getting excited for the inside work, you are going to have an amazing time organising every enclosure, my husband did explain that the building isn’t mine, but hey I am precariously enjoying your excitement! ❤❤❤

Still waiting

[@DoctorPolski]

You have enough spare rubber to start your pond... 😆😆

[@craneman2201]

Hi Dave, great buildingvideo again, Thankyou! Have you thought about a couple of solarpanels on the roof? It might help with the energy costs for a radiatorheater, and in the summer (with rising temperatures in the current summers) an AC. allready looking out for the next video!!

[@Rayraywheelz]

Before I get too deep into the video I'd like to tell you that roofing was at one time my job before I became disabled so I might be a bit critical on the guys,we'll see. I'll be back in the comments when I get through watching it

[@shsd7579]

If the rubber roof becomes to hot maybe you can put solar panels instead

[@Ellis157]

Metra Tucker got a little bit of sunburned on his backside there

[@BlackZtar1]

It's 28 c outside today... I dont even want to know how Tucker felt up on that roof 😅 (You seem to have had luck finding Tucker and John 🥰Honest poeple today are rare, sadly.)

[@Colorista_1]

I’ve never heard of a rubber roof. To the best of my knowledge, they aren’t used in the USA. I’m really intrigued by this. There are roofs in the USA that are guaranteed for the life of the owner. I’m not sure that it would hold up in our weather, hail storms, high winds (blowing debris), etc. I’m fascinated.

[@PJOHNSONOX21]

I'm surprised most buildings in the US are still standing considering the build quality. Wood is strong but not that strong. Nothing beats a good old british brick wall 🙂

[@gloriajackson2021]

Yes they have rubber roofing in the US. My sister has a basement house and it has a rubber roof on it.

[@stompyrobotguy4376]

I've never seen a rubber roof before! Very interesting! Anything else go on top of it?

[@TeeDod]

Always look forward to the latest installment of the Beastie Build 😁 Please allow me one question, is there a slight tilt with the roof so rain runs off? Tucker is fantastic with the thorough job he does! Even with the video sped up Tucker is always thinking, adjusting, and double-checking. Looking foward to what comes next, hopefully the electrician! Thank you, Dave!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Yes it does slope 👍

Why didn’t they work late afternoon into the night, if the heat is so bad? Glad he figured out the right way to put the roof and glue down on the 2nd half.

[@boognish.]

These boys need a taller ladder 😂

[@5Raven]

Wow it’s looking great I keep meaning to ask you did you need planning permission for it or is it classed as a shed. Plus I would imagine the rubber would be a recycled material. I know a lot of stable mats are recycled tyres

[@daveslittlebeasties]

you dont need planning for sheds as long as they dont go above a certain size I think it was 34 square meters ? Our builder made sure we are under the limit 👍

Was gonna use some sand or clay mixed with the coir and topsoil (to aid with burrows). Can you offer me any advice? I've been trawling through message boards and videos for days now!

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Yes a 30x30x30 will be perfect for them as for substrate go with what you like the look of , most soils are fine mixed with others 👍

[@MikelTulp]

Are you gonna show the inside construction as well

[@daveslittlebeasties]

Yes hopefully

[@goodluck-950]

Are you going to put solar panels on the roof to make it more self sufficient and having a battery to store the energy and keeping your energy bills to a minimum.
