How I Saved THOUSANDS On My Roof $$$

[@markswierczewski4058]

This is incredibly impressive, not just the actual work but just your willingness to take on anything whether you know how to do it or not. I'm not that brave so that is the most impressive part of all this to me.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

🤙🏽🤙🏽thanks for watching!

[@Onlooker71]

Agreed. Your work ethic is amazing. Whoever you work for is lucky to have you.

[@danielk0106]

​@@LonestarHawaiian My nephew own a construction company in Weatherford TX. That's a hella job you did. He said he was impressed at how fast you did it.

[@wudchk]

i love your hustle. it might be KZbin’s slowest/most realistic timeline build. thank you for keeping it real with us!

[@christophergilbert519]

I've never been more proud of a person I don't know haha. Great job!!

[@1sickcrx]

Also I want to thank you for not sugar coating the process of any project.. its not always easy, but always worth it

[@erichurt9884]

I can honestly say this has become one of my favorite channels!!! As a fellow DIY’er love the dedication Bro!!!

[@Z-Bart]

There's a tremendous satisfaction of DIY.

[@MrTimdtoolman1]

Brother, my hat is off to you. I built a 12'x12' storage shed in my back yard by myself for the most part and that was a lot of work. You my man are a legend.

[@jtsurfs]

Did the roof on my shed myself, not nearly as large as your shop, but very fulfilling to complete myself. I also learned thru doing and it was why it was fulfilling. And also KZbin was my teacher.

[@estebanalvarez2235]

WOW, 94k already, still have the sides to do, garage doors, etc. Great job you are doing on building your dream shop to work on your vehicles.

[@NickBurke-i7u]

that second nail your putting in each shingle is on the seam of the bottom course. go back and put Karnak on each one! possible leak spot on every shingle you installed ! hope you actually read these comments! I've been roofing for 10 years!

[@MSeroga]

Man I saw that and came looking for this comment...

[@jefffanning2799]

1992, my house needed a new roof. Told my wife I would do it myself. She obviously thought that was a bad idea. Saved $4000. Very satisfying project!

[@Ohiogrown89]

For your gap between plywood you could tack a 16 nail in the purling above your sheet and then put your next sheet against the nail to give your gap then pull your nail out but i seen your clips but couldve saved money on clips just tacking a nail and removing nail after securing your sheet good job buddy

[@skylartate933]

I have been watching your video since you started building your dream garage. You are doing awesome. It is HARD work! Keep up with good work!

[@joshraines]

Awesome stuff Chad...love the quality DIY approach!

[@davedonlick2146]

The SHOP is looking GREAT! Keep it GOING and please more videos!

[@NXT_LVL]

I remember my parents building things around their house growing up. Re-roofing their 2 story house back in 1996... Digging a 36' x12' x 3' hole for a semi-above ground pool and a bunch of other things the years after. 20 years after the installation of that pool, they removed it. BOTH my parents looked at each other and my dad said, "We did all this 20+ years ago?" which my mom answered, "Yes, we were 20 years younger then." Enjoy the youth and energy of what you can accomplish now, so when youre older. Its done, its complete and you dont have to worry about it. Because what you did saved you the money for people to do it for you when youre in your 60-70s like my parents are now. pace yourself and enjoy. Hard labor is hard on the body. For all thats holy.. KNEE PADS! Happy New year to you all and can't wait for the new content coming in 2024

[@GeorgeWashingtonjr-p7r]

One of my first summer jobs in high school was being the ground guy for a roofing crew. I learned alot, mostly that i never wanted to be a roofer lol. Awesome job, it's no easy task.

[@frankly2677]

Sometimes even professionals wont treat your project the way that you would. DIY is always best.

[@1sickcrx]

I absolutely love your channel. Shows how much love and dedication can accomplish. Keep up the amazing work. Be proud. Be extremely proud. Your killing it as a father, husband and a car enthusiast that makes content. Much love!!

[@joehansen4889]

Nice job. Saving bucks and learning! Nothing better! Looking Fantastic.

[@BrianWood74]

We have always done "long to short" when it comes to starter strips, and no issues with water. Either way, hell of a job considering your experience with roofing. Looks good.

[@roberthughes698]

Aloha, You are a special type of person. You can take on anything and your eye for detail will carry you a very long way. God bless you and your family.

[@dannyneal9713]

Your attitude towards “I’m going to get this done!” Is AMAZING !! Your willingness to learn and adapt is STRONG! Everything you doing is great brotha!! I’m no roofer either and when I did my little bitty 10x12 I was sore so I can only imagine how sore you are 😂. The only 2 things I think I would have done differently is get the radiant barrier sheathing only because I don’t think it’s much of a price increase. The other thing would have been to put a ridge vent instead of putting the other vent that you put on. Either way though this is coming out AMAZINGLY!!! Congratulations on your success ❤

[@billybike57]

Look at the work you’ve done so far, be proud at your accomplishments, you’ve done well!

[@JaneHudson-c9m]

One of my first summer jobs in high school was being the ground guy for a roofing crew. I learned alot, mostly that i never wanted to be a roofer lol. Awesome job, it's no easy task.

[@RoadhogRNA]

Sir, that is a real project and You are doing a fine job. We Love it.

[@ErtsenPlayGames]

Literally NAILED IT PS i calculated the price of the roofing materials if you buy it in Poland OSB around 1810$ for "standard" osb (ask me why its more expensive in EU than osb in US exported from EU xD ) Lumber around 400-500$ roofing shingles + drip edges + under layer + nails == around 5700$ (for something like the ones you use , or cheap stuff for around 4300$) screws around 200$ for "standard" quality PS 2 if you want to insulate the roof check radiant heat barrier , it's like mirror ...but for heat , it reflect the heat before it reach the insulation (but it need air gap to work , without air gap if the reflective side touch the wall / roof etc it wont work

[@jimmywhite6563]

Keep up the good work and I love watching the videos

[@nmherper]

It's a good morning to wake up to a new video from Lonestar Hawaiian.

[@charlie9301]

Keep it up love the videos stay strong u have got this

[@mattheweasley5589]

Way to go. Everything DIY I do takes me forever compared to pros but the experience and knowledge you gain is invaluable. You’re doing great. I always enjoy your videos and honest approach. Can’t wait to see this building in action!

[@jessesager9460]

Your drive and motivation to get this done is absolutely outstanding!

[@IDventures]

was a roofer for a while. can say for diy did a good job for sure

[@adrathemetaloutlaw754]

Nice work man. Being a fellow Texan (ATX here) that is helping my dad build a carport/shop (way smaller that yours) , I can relate to the agony(s) and the Yay(s) of doing this roofing project.. Pain in the ass for sure. The Chalk lining, layin and cutting the shingles (the wrong way at times), blistering the hands, reloading the nail gun (and dealin with the jams, bent nails, and double nail shots), and the re-runs to the Hardware Stores (Home Depot or Lowes)...etc.... Also, like you, we are dodging the infamous Moody Texas Winter Weather.

[@Allan_2002]

Keep up the great work Chad! Nothing feels better than knowing that you were able to save money by doing it yourself, Except the sore back, knees, and fingers. The build is looking great. Love the progress.

[@hulkygaming]

the shop looking amazing each time i watch the videos :)

[@OVHabitats]

Cheap at twice the price and done twice as well as contractor employees would have done in it. Your sweat equity is definitely paying off. Impressive!

[@neillatham4742]

What I admire is your no quit work ethic. Great to see.

[@justjack9561]

I just did a 30 x 40 shop how to do the Everything except for the foundation myself, including the roofing because I couldn’t even get anybody to give me quotes I live in Alaska was a lot of work for a 67 year old man. It took me a week and a half to put shingles on my roof.

[@marksmith8877]

Awesome building you will enjoy it down the road

[@longwildernesswalks]

Those lines are straighter than 80% of 'PRO' level roofers. Seriously, you did much better than most of them. Great attention to detail. Well done! Bravo!

[@ngfnjgfnfsdgbdsfhdf7645]

when your inside with your cars, the garage will feel way better than if you just paid to it all done ! more money will come after💙💙

[@120DEA]

Man, awesome progress, Chad! You should be definitely be Naho proud of it! ‘olewa workmanship at its finest! 😀 Too bad the HOAloha had to go though ha

[@MrLbjoker]

Nice job on the roof. Im sure it means so much more since you and your senior staff completed it. Nice price saver as well.

[@dirtworx]

Lowes Tip, Get you a list of what you need per project and go to pro desk and have them get you a QSP, it will come back with a bigger discount. We’ve got 25% or more on our houses we build. We’ve got 45% on electrical last week. Buy what you need off of the QSP and come back and purchase off the QSP the next trip to Lowe’s Great job!

[@HatteKeineAhnung]

Impressive job, your attitude and the cutting skills makes it a lot of fun to watch. Will keep going and am very interested to see the progress. Greetings from Hamburg, Germany 🤙🏽

[@Dutchrebuild]

Osb is as waterproof as a Corvette in the ocean. The rain made it swell up. When placing osb you should have covered it with underlayment immediately. I hope it will dry up well for you, because the build looks amazing!

[@omarfuentes9363]

Really good work man. I’m 22 and want everything you have. You’re literally living my dream lol

[@AmyWhiles1]

I love the drive you have. Love how it’s coming along.

[@donmynack]

When I was 13, I helped my Dad roof our entire house. This was 1981. No nail guns, all composite shingles nailed by hand over tar paper. Took us a couple weeks, and a hurricane hit us in the middle of the job. My arms almost fell off.

[@lincolnaddict]

Keep on keep'n on! Love the hustle and determination!

[@DennisParkin-r4q]

Im for sure jelous of that beautifal huggee project ur taking on.! Props from canada!!

[@michaelshallue1801]

Great timming on the roofing ..... Cuz, warm weather would've been tougher!! You're nailing it!!! Keep it up!! Step by step for us..... Great job👍

[@imthdj2u]

Congrats my guy we just built a 40x40x13 stick frame 2x6 wall garage and we have done every inch of it ourselves. except concrete but we did do the insulation and pex in the concrete for infloor heat. so trust me i feel your pains lol

[@thomashuisman8128]

Keep up the good work 😉

[@RickyTricky3223]

Bro i got nothing but respect for you because i know for damn sure I couldn’t do any of this that you are doing but I love the videos keep it up 👍🏼

[@projectkr71]

The MDSB has been epic. Can't wait to see the interior goodies and how you're going to finish it inside.

[@Robert-cu9bm]

Amazes me how people don't get scaffolding. Not only is it safer, but will sort the project up.

[@CWilsonV]

Maybe on the cost tracking blackboard you could also add in hours worked? love watching the vids :)

[@makamakalena3464]

Braddah Chad Naho'olewa. Your are Awesome. Ho'omaika'i on this project. 🤙🏽🤙🏽

[@geraldyusko5499]

love that you are doing this yourself. Incredible work!

[@porterhodges727]

Well done. I used to roof for a living. You have a great roof on that building.

[@darrylm79]

Holy crap! $95k for that! I don't remember what you said comparison-wise where that was in line with other pre-built or contractor-based ones. But, it was a labor of love. Awesome job man. You can surely take pride in that and it will outlast you and your family hopefully. Take that much-needed rest!

[@tonyguzman6820]

Good job Chad, I happen to check earlier today for any update but I was too soon, looking good

[@edgarandrade5820]

Nice job. I can't wait to start my own similar size soon 3 4 months from now.

[@DennisParkin-r4q]

Wussup Chad! Props from montreal canada and im a DYIer and i know the fun of doin a roof! And looks great man!!!!

[@guerradan1958]

For a first time DIY you’re doing great!! When do you anticipate doing the brick work? Keep it up, not that you have a choice but it’s looking great!! Aloha!

[@mycowboyways915]

What brand is your metal frame ?

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Small local metal building company out here in North Texas.

[@mycowboyways915]

Thank You ! Awesome shop build !

[@CliffJennings]

Keep it up man! I wish I was brave enough to tackle my own 40x50! Instead I’ve been saving for a couple years. 😮

[@scubatrucker6806]

You Tube Certification. That's how I learn.❤. Looking great bro

[@Rage_Dance]

Nice work! Looks really good and you did a great job with the detail work. One note, the GAF Timberline HDZ is not Class 4 impact resistant rated. They're still good shingles, but they don't have a reinforced fiberglass mat like the GAF Timberline Armorshield II that does. Cool to see your shop coming together, looking forward to some more epic car/truck vids in the built out shop!

[@270raptor]

Awesome job 🙂! Love the shingle lift

[@wrenchday2473]

One thing I would’ve suggested before you put down the underlayment was to put down zip tape to seal the osb gaps and still have room to expand just so in case the underlayment gets ripped off with the shingles during a storm, you still have some waterproofing between the OSB board.

[@jasonmiller3541]

Love the videos. I am also learning a lot from watching. I am rooting for you my brother.

[@jordanfaulconer5464]

U need venting regardless of insulation or whatever the vents are for keeping the shingles cool....companies will not uphold warranty on roof if not vented correctly also double stacking pallets will void warranty as well

[@danielrakijasic2889]

Great job Chad it has been pretty cool watching your progress.

[@jmwoffroad]

Man ur really doing a great job looks very nice and professional.

[@sellickusa]

Great work. Your motivation and determination to get things done right and on schedule. Maybe time for a side gig as a GC.

[@MHConstruction_MN]

GAF Timberline shingles are the ONLY shingles I'll ever use. Typical install is a pyramid from the middle or one edge like you did. Great job.

[@davidshumway9639]

Aren't you gonna break it to him that timberline HDZ are 100% absolutely not class 4 impact rated?

[@RoadWarrior77]

How in the hell did I miss a video? Every time one of your videos popped up, it has always been in my feed, even if it didn't include shop work (yes, I clicked on those videos too, just to keep the feed going), and this one came up and I was excited. But then I thought, wait, did I miss something? So, I clicked on the page and saw that there was one three weeks ago talking about the roof sheathing installation, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how this one didn't show in my feed. KZbin is still trying to get me to watch Tim Pool videos from months ago that I didn't watch, but somehow missed the video prior to this one from you. And it's not even a "controversial" video talking about politics or firearms. Damn you, KZbin!!!

[@johnalexander5923]

I think it’s so wild for your backyard to not have any privacy, especially next to a main road. The crazier yard are the ones with no fence I would not like that at all, great content can’t wait for a “finished” product cause nothing is ever really finished especially for car and truck guys!

[@travisspoerle1557]

Hats off to you dude. It think everyone could agree, you are inspirational. The things you can do, and do them well I might add, is amazing. Not even the fact of just “doing them” yourself. Really incredible and thank you for allowing us to follow this journey with you. Again very inspiring man! Thanks a ton from a fan in Wisconsin 🤟🏻🤙🏻

[@manstuff612]

Wow good job! Hell of a project to take on you sir are badass

[@yellow2000SR]

My steel building has 1/2 as many steel purlins but has 2x4s laying down running from gutter to peak every 2’. 2x4s secured to purlins with standard 2.5” 5/16 self tappers.

[@LonestarHawaiian]

Thanks!

[@davidshumway9639]

​@@LonestarHawaiianI saw at the end of the video you said you got class 4 impact rated shingles. Timberline HDZ is not class 4 rated. I don't think they are even rated. Google it

Lowes also has an American Express card that gives you 5% off of every purchase, even if it is already on sale! It also gives you free delivery on materials, which is usually about $75 depending on where you live.

[@dustindircks6647]

Also, I’d definitely hire you. You did a great job!

[@LyttonKing]

Once your done building this whole garage, you should collect all of these video and turn it into this huge long giant video don’t care if it’s 10 hours or 20 hours I will still watch it maybe not all in one but it would pretty cool to just see the entire whole series in one go

[@Dutchrebuild]

By the way, make sure you install an extra trim on the side, covering the side of the shingles. The wind will tear the shingles up otherwise.

[@justindressler3612]

So much respect to you for tackling so much yourself. I’m an electrician by trade and try to do as much as I can around the house myself and seeing you tackle all these things yourself is so awesome man. Keep up the hard work. I’m sure your family is as proud as we are of you!
