I so look forward to your videos. Your family is very blessed to have you do this for them! Stay safe up there!

[@robtowle9594]

I’m going to repeat the comments about a fall harness-I’ve done lots of roof work without one, but decided to harness up on a recent job. I won’t harp on the consequences of a fall, you are a smart guy and can make your own choices- but think about it. Really admire the solid work you are doing!

[@BIKEMAN21]

unless you are an action hero from the movies i dont think anyone could hold back over 200lbs with nothing but grip strength on a rope. And even if you could , I wouldnt trust a single low capacity rope to take that initial load.

[@elishevaquick6650]

Oh dear !! MY NERVES are shattered seeing YOU hanging there !!

[@esquiredalegunn]

Elisheva Quick O ye of little faith!!!!

[@lloydr.6271]

We're gradually improving and repairing an old farm/homestead and often in need of good examples and inspiration. Thank you for both and also plain old pleasure to watch, nice music, beautiful scenery. God Bless. Lloyd and Donna, Wales, UK.

[@kentracey1028]

man all I can say you have great determation and a big set of balls doing that roof that way

[@nelsonledoux4257]

Excellent work. I especially like the eaves/rafter tail detailing. Nice touch!

[@youghal40clashmore]

Hills in the background at the end look amazing. Always like a few trees around a property it softens the landscape.

[@glenngoodale1709]

Aside from loving your video's documenting your house /homestead build, you are an INCREDIBLE STORY TELLER! You have a gift.

[@RedPoppyRanch]

Thank you!

[@raymondmills9377]

You are on the roof sometimes my eye drifts off to that beautiful countryside ... Never take it for granted. Great vid as always.

[@oldtimeengineer26]

Very nice looking be proud of it for sure

[@mandbhomestead]

Looking awesome, will be weathered in before you know it. Thanks for sharing

[@waynecompton7612]

Thank you for the video , Doing a good job . Take Care.

[@KinuGrove]

Awesome progress. Nice to see all the hard work paying off.

[@aarbbee]

Nice touch to the house. Stay safe. It is better.

[@debbiem2146]

My goodness, you SHOULD be happy with how it turned out!!! It looks amazing! And, lol, as I viewed this segment I had to remind myself that you are still alive, or I wouldn't be watching this video of you doing this very awkward section of roofing. Well done!

[@sarah-annekendrick5204]

That eaves look amazing! Your wife is going to love them.

[@nelwoz9357]

Lovely HOME! Wishing you and your family a Blessed THANKSGIVING!

[@salmonhunter7414]

[@MrEhole]

[@delosturner2344]

I love your sawmill their good people.

[@johnivy5197]

Awesome job! mY Family and I sat the whole thanksgiving family day, watching your family's video's. We may not know you or your family personally. But what an awesome caring supportive family. You and your wife have done a fine job at raising loving respectful children. Can't wait to see the shop house finished. It is coming along awesomely. Great job.

[@tiefee]

So I'm Binge watching the vids from day one. I'm. Actually sat at home with broken arm coz off a fall from a scaffold. Platform was just 4 foot high. I knwo nothing happened but jeez Louise! U r nuts. With family n all. Also simple harness and you could do job thrice as fast and 100% safe from fall. Anywyas. Congrats on the great vids, love the whole family. Cedar is amazing, what a woman, and the kids yiu guys have guys have raised is a true testament to you guys being true, genuine good people. Also. Love the way you voice over vids with your thoughts. Great work.

[@ScottishNSRailFan]

[@greggwoods7173]

Looking good!

[@linedog19delta]

The build is looking good Red .

[@loskop100]

Great, now I can uncross my fingers...you are dry now for your winter. Well done!!

[@jamesoncross7494]

Great job. You got balls of steel. It looks beautiful. You have a great can do attitude. I like watching you work.

[@willyfriesen3501]

be safe up there 😉

[@stevenlarson3899]

that town reminds me of kalispell montana in the early 70s i loved it there,this world sure has changed!

[@foxglove8836]

you should feel proud of your self what a great job.

[@1timby]

Well, it looks like the weather is holding up well. Wishing you a very happy Thanksgiving and thanks for bringing us along.

[@chrismacleod3947]

Looking .......... Good ......... I Like ........... it

[@alwaysteatime489]

HAPPY THANKSGIVING next year you will be living here LUCKY

[@LostInThe0zone]

You should be happy with the way it turned out. It's really a great job.

[@gregorythomas333]

That is looking so good!

[@roberthanna4464]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your wonderful family. Your hard work is inspiring sir...!!

[@reynoldsoutdoorlife3215]

I can't wait to see the roof finished! It looks awesome so far!

[@thomasarussellsr]

Jason Reynolds me too. I can't wait to see him off of it. Him just holding the rope isn't much safety at all. It should be tied around his waist at a minimum, but a harness would be much better.

[@frednewman2162]

Probably to late now, but you should have found re-tractable lanyard on Craig's List or EBay and just tied a rope around your waist to attach it to! That way would have freed up your other hand for work instead of holding your safety line! Maybe find or cheaply rent some sections of scaffolding from a local contractor that you can use to help get roofing up and do trim work? Scaffold could be set on planks and slid along to move it. Really nice work, especially for someone doing it by themselves!

[@carnagie85]

Looks beautiful!

[@danmessier2488]

That's funny we just came through the town with the sawmill on our way to the lake yesterday. I showed this video to my son who's in a construction program in his high school, he thought your rafter tails were awesome, he took a shot of it to show his teacher. Keep up the good work Heath. Happy Thanksgiving!!!

[@fwar83]

I admire what you're doing

[@vettepicking]

I know its too late but i overlap my drip edge sections 4 inches to prevent water from wicking between joints. Looks good

[@dalelewis1016]

vettepicking ... I was thinking the same thing...

[@george8873]

You're supposed to overlap it. And like you said, too late now. Hope he caulks the heck out of that joint before putting up the roofing.

[@digbyodell2924]

I would think a pretty easy fix is to cut some overlap sections of drip edge for the seams?

[@SuperBigblue19]

Cut small pieces to use as a spline behind the joint. Caulk won't last well enough.

[@george8873]

You're right Digby, that should work, Cut a 8 inch piece over the gap and make sure to center it on the gap. And @ Super... he nailed the ends down, so doubt he'd get a spline under.

[@simdog635]

Love the safety anchor :-) good work very inspiring

[@charlesallen1384]

Man your doing a fantastic job sure looks nice so far! I live in S. Texas an only wish your home was here an for sale! That's how much I like it

[@garymccoy2888]

Sorry for being the “safety police”, but that’s just nuts. Buy a harness.

[@mikeoxbig4705]

I understand exactly what you mean by "the good ole' days". Wish we lived in simpler times.

[@brookiebakerie]

I'm glad to see an update. Happy Thanksgiving! I sincerely hope you're taking a day off! :)

[@RedPoppyRanch]

1/2 day

[@Tomhohenadel]

Will you be installing a ice and water membrane over the 1x6 or over all the roof. When you put your Roxul in the ceiling or between the roof rafters, how will air flow work in the attic? Are you planning to install some type of soffit or something in the bird mouths? Good job, you are certainly diligent

[@leroy5258]

your videos are great and stress relievers.....happy Thanksgiving to you and your family

[@chashastings6861]

Happy thanksgiving... looking forward to the more

[@pintobeans2973]

Man, your safety device leaves much to be desired. Good luck. The build looks great BTW.

[@BIKEMAN21]

I always wear safety shoes and a hard hat when doing roof work, helps protect my toes and head for when i fall off :P

[@Drinks-and-finger-food]

Have a Wonderful Thanksgiving!!!

[@salsolo2403]

really good progress your making ,well done :)

[@JamesCouch777]

We used plywood and scored it to get the same look on our eves. Then I stained it all a cedar color. Came out great.

[@kpdvw]

Butch Cassidy Museum, Montpelier, Idaho... Stay Safe, go slow and do not ruin your health; you are an amazing one man construction company!

[@stevelynn7885]

It is TRULY amazing WHAT 1 MOTIVATED MAN CAN DO BY HIMSELF IF HE REALLY WANTS TO ,GOD BLESS YOU AN YOURS, HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO YOU AND YOURS!! KEEP THE FAITH AN HARD WORK ONGOING ,YOUR FAMILY AND FRIENDS I KNOW ARE PROUD OF YOU 😉!

[@jill-e644]

its beautiful.........congrats....Happy Thanksgiving...love to you and your family...

[@RevDeaconMichael]

You’re a brave man (I hate heights... almost slide off a three story apartment building roof when I was working construction a long time ago) 😳 Looks beautiful my man!

[@fred4513]

EXCELLENT!!! To You, Cedar, and the Gang, have a GREAT Thanksgiving !!! 🤠

[@DIYSolarandWind]

Happy thanksgiving

[@norcalnate3342]

Looking fantastic, happy thanksgiving!

[@RXRSawdustStation]

Happy Thanksgiving, Red Poppy Ranch!

[@Lordp00m]

Its looking great! Cheers from Belgium!

[@charredskeleton]

I love your open rafter tails.

[@mmanut]

Great Job‼️ Good looking lumber from sawmill ‼️ Are you going to roll out tar paper before the aluminum roof? The overhang looks fantastic, real nice job. Lots of great details, Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family ‼️👍 Vinny 🇺🇸

[@glenngoodale1709]

Happy Thanksgiving to you & your family

[@jucallme1]

Love all of your videos, looks like u got hit by the safety police 🤣🤣. Gosh im just yelling at this ipad overlap the drip edge, oh well know ur doing drywall now maybe next time. Ur still one of my heros!

[@diversifiedacreshomestead102]

Those last 2 tasks, I think I would have had to get a neighbor involved if that bucket on the back hole would get you up there. Looking great brother.

[@MrBugsier5]

Respect for what you have acomplished so far! not bad, but man that holding rope, it scared the shit out of me! lol, be safe, and happy thankgiving! (y)

[@mountainman7997]

Late to be one of your viewers but that eve is going to look amazing once it's stained up. Excellent work

[@DavidGarcia-nw3xu]

Is there any way I can buy you some proper work boots. Something with a little more bite to the ground?

[@inadollard6672]

I alway watch your channel first, love watching you work. Please get some sort of a safety harness, stay safe.

[@monicapttrsn]

Well, great job so far! Have you looked at aluminum shakes or steel shakes (g-90)? Have you seen those beautiful metal shakes on homes? I am not talking about the large vertical pieces, but the ones shaped like asphalt shingles. At least have a peek for fun. They cost more money than asphalt shingles, but it doesn't hurt to peek (smile).

[@AllaroundNbackagain]

A rappelling harness, rope and rope grabber would be cheap insurance up on that roof bud. The scenery looks like southern Alberta.

[@nickbust0s]

Hello there. I’m currently building a tiny home and am currently working on my roof. Just curious what size roof sheathing you are using?

[@RedPoppyRanch]

Not sure if you're asking about the roofing underlayment or something else but the underlayment I used is 3' wide by 100' long.

[@nickbust0s]

Red Poppy Ranch Im referring to the thickness of the OSB. I should have be more clear in my question, sorry about that!

[@Sean-hf5mn]

Happy Thanksgiving

[@stevenhardy2898]

Its not too late to purchase a couple pair of pump jacks.

[@jimh712]

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone..

[@dash7man]

Beast mode.

[@brucewayne2984]

Is that soffit material thicker than the sheathing? If so, how are you planning to transition from thicker to thinner material? Thanks. Good job!

[@RedPoppyRanch]

It is but not enough to matter with the metal roof

[@brucewayne2984]

Gotcha. I'm still not convinced enough with my OCD, HA!!! You are sure doing a great job. I was a bit worried for you about that ridge beam but then you added those collar ties. You learned me a bit there! Take care.

[@frankstanley7082]

when can we see the top half of your land .you are doing a great job . I think you are loving dad

[@george8873]

Thought you got your finger with the nail gun @ 7:03 the way you paused then brought your hand up to your face, lol.

[@elderberrygardencroatia8162]

Happy Thanksgiving! Blessings from Croatia!

[@zeke112964]

Hvala! and to you and yours

[@tbrown4674]

Looking good. Where and who is the music that you use for the videos. I like it. Often wondering what you are listening to when you have your ear phones on...... nice job.

[@RedPoppyRanch]

epidemicsound.com Lots of old books...

[@monicapttrsn]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[@MadsWorld34]

if you can answer a question for me please? why did you go from OSB to 1x6 at the bottom of you roof? instead of OSB all the way down.

[@chris_topher1984]

you deliver nice videos my dude. the whole package, the music (today reminded me of minecraft) the editing, the content, it's a step above the rest. i just built a 16x12ft addition on my house all by myself, I know exactly what you are going thru. I've had a deep splinter in my right palm since October 15th, after a few hundred bucks in doctor bills it's still in there (i did remove two large chunks weeks apart). i hope to die with that splinter still resting in the palm of my right hand, it's mine and I earned every bit of pain it has caused.

[@royamberg9177]

I thought I was the only one that did things in such ways by my self

[@jimjohnson6857]

Im jealous lol. Love it!

[@banjobenson9348]

I bet you will wish the 1 x 6's were primed ahead of installation, what was the town where you got the lumber ? and can you buy 2x6's there also ?? I live in Idaho too. thanks

[@RedPoppyRanch]

Montpelier and yes

[@donutmuncher666]

Banjo Benson around Montpellier banjo?

[@jeffery19677]

I have never seen 3/4 lumber on the edge of the roof like that. Is that a snow-load thing? (I live in Lower Alabama where flurries shuts down the world..)

[@monicapttrsn]

The idea is to have the underside of the overhang area look beautiful with nice wood plank pieces, instead of looking at sheathing. When you are on the ground outside and look up, you see beautiful wood. But if you are using 5/8" sheathing, you want to use 5/8" planks, otherwise there will be a lip between the two edges.

[@RedPoppyRanch]

just for looks

[@knightrider6473]

Came here for the safety harness comments. Wasn't disappointed.

[@jkhenderson1]

Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family!

[@roxanapanaro252]

Happy Thanksgiving 🦃

[@thomasarussellsr]

Just wondering why you didn't stagger the laps on you roof edge boards or overlap the drip edge?

[@zeke112964]

Guess you didn't see him install the OSB on the roof.....

[@thomasarussellsr]

zeke112964 yeah I did. Some seems lined up then too.

[@zeke112964]

Yes and then at the top he ran them vertically instead of horizontally

[@thomasarussellsr]

zeke112964 yepb saw that too. Definite non-conventional and less strong.

[@1320fastback]

Thomas Russell There's very little structural value, if any staggering the Starter Board. The overhang is so small compared to what the plywood is holding. The "pros" rarely if ever stagger it either.

[@vinyrd50]

wall brackets would be much much safer - Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

[@micahwatson9017]

Put some ice and water shield 4' around the perimeter before putting your underlayment.

[@lastniceguy1]

It's amazing how scary it is when you go from facing up grade to down grade when on a roof.
