Good morning GBU crew!!! alright.. my mom has been talking too much trash about the pergola pronunciation 😅😂 let's settle the debate once and for all!! Type 1 for per-goh-luh 2 for per-guh-luh

lol none! (3) Per-gol-la - type 3 if ya agree (or was that "tye" at the end of 1 part of it?) 🤔

[@Bebethusa]

I really love that you have your wife’s back. Me as a video creator and editor know how much time and hours it takes to get a 30 minutes video done. Not to mention that she’s probably the one, cooking, cleaning, doing the dishes, laundry, feeding the animals, recording (and getting the cinematic shots), organizing, talking to the sponsors, doing all the work for patrions, getting all the administrative work done and the list goes on..This is how not only a team but a functional family works and that’s the reason I love this channel and have been working hard to also buy my land and have my Farm in Puerto Rico one day. ❤

[@hausvongenevieve3470]

I agree! Very well said!

[@cu5143]

Good job, I would still recommend putting some bracing on your corner posts !

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

@Bebethusa we split cooking/cleaning. She feeds the cats , I feed the goats/chickens. I was raised by a single mom and I have 5 sisters so I never got left out of the household chores🤣😅 we play to our strengths with the sponsors.. I do the legal stuff and she does the production. We both do patreon stuff but ye ur spot on, a marriage is not 50/50 it's 100% all the time

[@Bebethusa]

@@SailingGoodBadandUgly Im absolutely sure that you help! Wouldn’t expect less than that from you because of who you show us here. That’s why I said probably cause for sure she is not doing 100% by her self and that how a Functioning Family works. So proud of you guys!!!

@Bebethusa lol she'll whoop me if I don't help😅🤣

[@alistairmelhuish2168]

awesome Job Guys.

[@Peripheral-Visionary]

Highly recommend installing diagonal braces at the tops from the columns to the rafters.

[@mohdzakiahmad6075]

Not much loading on the root, but good to brace them up..

[@claybornlewis276]

I can get behind that idea... When I think he had to do it before the winds come The wind gets under that roof .... And it's going to peel it right off... It definitely needs some bracing and soon....

[@paulswart4265]

Indeed I was thinking he should add 2 wires length wise or so, to support the reed. And yeah, birds will love the reed for needing 😂

[@eirvine]

No bracing is no bueno

[@famshof]

I was gonna suggest that also in high winds that extra stability

[@BruceWitcpalek-ws1rh]

Once again you killed it, Matt and Kristen !! I love that You have your wife’ back the way you do. Some of the comments last week were absolutely ludicrous and unfair to your wife. The two of you are absolutely doing a fabulous job and don’t let anyone tell you differently. God bless and stay safe and thanks for another awesome video !! ❤✌🏼😎🍻🍻🥇🥇🥇

Hey guys! We love your channel. Long time watchers but first time leaving a comment (we watch on TV!) I took the time to open up my laptop today and leave a message. We recently bought land on The Bahamas and have been loving watching you progress day by day on your build. Thanks for sharing the good, bad, and the ugly. We look forward for what's to come and we are grateful for you being a few steps ahead so you can tell us what not to do, ha!

[@bbpunisher]

Awesome hard work!

[@ldeagle10]

Matt. My brother of another mother at heart. As a retired teamster crane operator in the roofing industry, I have set several thousand roofs of all types. And now that you have essentially added a sail to your uprights, I'll beg you, please! Install permanent lateral support before something bad happens. I would suggest bracing at 45° angle from uprights to your top plates. That is the weakest point in a wind storm at present. That's a lot of weight up topside, bro. I love guys. Stay safe.

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

I'm considering a few options, do u think heavy steel "T" braces would work as well as knee bracing? The 'T" braces have a smaller profile

[@ldeagle10]

I'm sorry I didn't see your response sooner but yes T bracing will definitely help though knee bracing is most typically used. I would double them up like a "sandwich" on the upright.

[@thomascallaghan5988]

Matt use a pair of pliers when a nail or staple is difficult to hold with your fingers, it helps you keep from smashing your fingers. 👍😎🙏🏼✌️

Needle nose pliers do the trick.

[@SailingGoodBadandUgly]

Fork seems like a great hack, I did end up using pliers

@@SailingGoodBadandUgly thin-ish cardboard is easiest. You can pre set a bunch of them, and whack away. It'll keep tearing off as you hit each one, assuming you start at the right end, and have them set in a neat row.

[@ki6hzs]

That thatching is going to sag down, eventually falling down. I had done something very similar, it will hold its own weight for a while, eventually will fail to do so and come down. Maybe run something across under it, baling wire? Something to keep it from starting to sag. Looks amazing, love the framing. Metal roof will last forever as long as it’s anchored down well. Property is coming together👍🏼 Love your content, keep it up. John

[@donmcneill4612]

2X4 Cross Members between the 4X4 roof supports (before installing roof panels). Then staple reed mats to 2X4's. I agree... gonna sag over time and look terrible.😥

[@EvilSmurfify]

Matt, you have created a critter sanctuary between the matting and the roof. I agree with a comment below paint would have been easier on you, and you would have avoided future critter problems.

[@robertbiron]

Yes that gap between the matting and the metal roof would make a great spot for bird nests. lol

[@claybornlewis276]

Oh my god you guys are so worried about a couple of spiders

[@forrestwebb6182]

I'm afraid I have to agree there-looks great, but will be a beast to deal with when it wears out an falls apart as well. Reminds me of a beach bungalow I stayed at in Ecuador that had a palm-thatched roof. It was infested with cockroaches, and they were dropping down on me as I slept at night-even with a mosquito net, they were getting in at the top-gross!!!

[@GaryJones2012]

"We need to do more screwing" 🤣 Kristen, video editor extraordinaire, this was a challenge to follow. In one sequence the reeds are covered, then they're gone. but it was still a fun project to watch by Matt the Builder. Although I get why you wanted the pergola, it sure cuts out the daylight in the RV.

[@IEnigIMa]

Just to start….LMAO “per go la”. Never change ❤. Just a suggestion for cost savings, paint the underside of the metal roof a color close to the color of the thatch barrier so that you would only need one layer. I think the 24’ length was the right move given the low pitch of the roof and the torrential rains you get, 2 twelves I think would have leaked. 👍 You guys are killing it😊. It looks 🔥 in the end as always

[@PastorwithoutaPulpit]

Looks very good and you two nailed the aesthetic you were going for with that extra layer of reed. The extra air gap and insulation provided will help with the heat of direct sunlight on the metal roof. Droop or even rot may end up being an issue is my only concern and yours as well from what you said. If it ends up being an issue of droop maybe use wire strung the length over main beams and between the reed and beams it rests on, along the middle, spanning the gap to help support it. The right wire wouldn't be to visible, if you find or paint it the right color, and shouldn't take a large gage to be strong enough to help hold the reeds up in the middle. That structure is very solid and if you do have to, as you said, you can attach anchors when or if they're needed and at multiple angels to long stakes in the ground. That roof over the RV/Trailer should really help with it's longevity, we should all know roof leaks and water intrusion as well as sun damage are what end up destroying them over time. Well done you two and as always I look forward to the next video. Oh, and your reaction to the sticker bombing of a sometimes childish but truly entertaining friend. Watching Raif and Sasha's video I know it wasn't done out of malice but in fun, as a brother ribbing a brother. At least he didn't poop on the deck from the spreaders as you suggested but I'll admit that may have been easier to clean up. Take care and God Bless...

Pro tip I learned years ago. Zipper bag with eye drops and q-tips in your glovebox. If you get something in your eye on the job, saturate a q-tip with eye drops, pinch your eye lashes and pull your eyelid away, and wipe your eye. The q-tip fibers grab everything, the eye drop makes it so you can't feel your eye being wiped, and gives you a cool relief feeling after the wipe! I've used that technique for metal, wood, and a bug, several times in life with 100% successes.
