What a team on the Rock Pile. 🙏

16:30 you and me both. When you’re creating stuff, you zone out and get all zen with the activity and keep on keeping on until it’s done.

@@chrishook5608 yeah so true 👍

You guys make a good team. We all get a bit grumpy at times. The result and the level of precision is outstanding. 👍

Nice bit of shade, and a whole bunch of surface area to collect rainwater. You're gonna need bunches more tanks!

[@ROCKPILEOffgridHomestead]

I think Corey has an idea for that water! He discusses it in the next part to this vid 😁😁 also room for more solar panels!

[@cheryesido364]

Good video

[@ROCKPILEOffgridHomestead]

@@cheryesido364 Thankyou!

[@theadventuresofzoomandbettie]

LOL I had the thought right near the begining "are you going to use some structural grout under the plates to fill the gaps?" and had to wait all the way to just about the end for you to say yep, you're filling it (different product than I'd use, but same reasoning!). Great how-to kind of video here mate. I personally don't really work with steel at home myself, but always using steel at work these days with new buildings and such. Except at work I make a steel company do it all, and I just check they've done it right lol.

[@ROCKPILEOffgridHomestead]

Haha thanks zoom… maybe that was all part of my strategy to keep you hooked 😂😂 personally, love working with steel 💪

[@theadventuresofzoomandbettie]

@@ROCKPILEOffgridHomestead It's purely from a lack of confidence and an inability to weld - otherwise I'm sure I'd be using it too LOL

[@ROCKPILEOffgridHomestead]

@@theadventuresofzoomandbettie 😂 well lucky we did a how to weld video 👍

[@theadventuresofzoomandbettie]

@@ROCKPILEOffgridHomestead your video may have inspired me to ensure I get power points that I can run a welder off in future. got the sparky and the plumber finally roughing in the shed over the next couple of weeks!

[@ROCKPILEOffgridHomestead]

@@theadventuresofzoomandbettie that’s awesome! You won’t regret it

I could just imagine you suping up the excavator to joust with Corey 😂

[@ROCKPILEOffgridHomestead]

@@Bush_Edge_Homesteading_Aus you know it! 😂😂

[@cadwithcorey]

I would need to install a bigger hydraulic pump and some much better drive motor but never say never 😂😂

[@alanblyde8502]

Hey you a gun on that digger mrs RP🤙

[@ROCKPILEOffgridHomestead]

@@alanblyde8502 haha thanks! I used it for the first time putting the roof on our house in 2021 and discovered I had just the right kind of spacial awareness for it. So much fun!

[@DURRIESVISION]

Nice job, but what are you using for some 'X' bracing before you sheet it?

[@pisa7326]

This is awesome. How have you attached it to the shed ???

[@ROCKPILEOffgridHomestead]

@@pisa7326 thanks! Welded back to the steel frame of the shed 👍
