Insulating on TOP of the Cabin Roof...but why? / Ep73 / Outsider Log Cabin

[@scottperine8027]

The Outsider has been a joyful journey and a truly wonderful labor of love,once you start following the exploits and heartbreaking stories that go along with this amazing construction you won’t want to stop watching until the very end. Kudos to the Outsiders!!!

[@carolyndejesus2378]

Awsome!!

Great episode, as usual. Never gets boring. And those colors of the Canadian fall are an amazing sight. Thank you!

[@senioroutsider2975]

Hi Midei , The colours this year were the most brilliant that i have seen in a lot of years!

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Thank you! 😁👍

What a labor of love. Memories working with your dad that you'll never forget.

[@ksvet06-07]

I am glad you are wearing your harness. My neighbor just fell through his shop roof he was building. No harness. He is alive but in a lot of pain.

[@fhagerber4079]

Been watching from the beginning this is one strong nice cabin well done what i like from this build is the father son build money cant buy that you are a good son for your father i will give anything for that i am 65 years old

[@rebeccapettifer6553]

Truly amazing. I have watched your build since the beginning. Any one who wonders why it has taken years not months to build needs to go back to the beginning and watch the tremendous amount of work that has gone into this build. All this done in your spare time. And of course one can never forget the unending support of your father. Memories even for future generations to venerate. God's blessings to you and your family.

[@rd4660]

Just a thumbs up for your very responsible use of PPEs and a fall prevention system. Too many guys have been killed or paralyzed falling off of roofs because of pride or the need for speed. Good going! They may not say so but your family appreciates it.

[@lavondacarter7228]

Pray your wife is doing well, love drone footage , of the beautiful fall colors, here in Tennessee leaves are falling already, not much color, not like past years, always glad to see the progress you and your dad are making on the cabin, hopefully will have metal on before snow, be safe .

[@bigjay6743]

Thanks for the compliment. I've been a roofer for 26 years now it definitely takes a certain breed of people to do it day in and day out. But as the old saying goes somebody has to do it. I have been watching your videos since the beginning of the cabin build and I would like to say your doing an amazing job The cabin looks great .You have definitely gone above and beyond to make it a comfortable home for you and your family. Your friend from northern Ontario.

Looking forward to seeing the first video with all of you celebrating inside that cabin by the fire.

What an amazing roof line, I love the steep pitch, it makes the whole cabin look perfect. I am so pleased to see your father so healthy he can climb that ladder, I broke my back on January 2rd 2020, the first bone I have ever broke in my life, at 60 I fear I will not be climbing any more ladders, God bless you all and thanks for sharing this build with us.

Man, I still love them creative camera angles you get! It's been a while since I last saw one of your videos it's amazing to see all the progress you made. Keep up the hard and great work!

[@15mTalent]

A fantastic way to start a Saturday is to see you and your Dad at work on this amazing cabin. When you first started laying the foam board, I was nervous about how you would get the top layer on. As always, you and your Dad are incredibly resourceful. Glad you both are safe and blessings to you, your Dad, your wife, and children. This is a work of love - you will love it for generations, and I love watching you accomplish it. A few people have mentioned a concern about ants getting into your foam insulation. I can suggest a borax paste mix. Mix water and borax to a toothpaste consistency. Roll the paste onto the foam board before putting down the metal. The borax will be eaten by the ants - taken back to their colony, given to the queen and ultimately wipes out the colony. This is the best way of keeping ants from going after the foam. Borax is safe to use around people and pets. Just an idea - God Bless!

[@dfischer000]

Ah yes, siding the dormers while on the steel. 😅 That's a future challenge I'm not looking forward to.

[@kennethgibbons2487]

You are not the only one who will be pleased to get "off the roof" - I worry the whole time you are clambering around on it. Looks really amazing.... can't help thinking how much harder it would have been for you without your Dad backstopping you. God bless you all!

[@suzique5827]

Getting there. Hopefully you can get the final layer on the roof before the snow flies

[@Donnie9by5]

I will be really glad when you get that roof finished too! Makes me on edge watching you guys work up that high!

[@dcrahn]

Nice job, exactly how it should be done when insulating that way and the underside of the steel roofing will also stay cold when there is snow and not form any ice dams.

It's silk beautiful with pops of color but God has truly blessed the land where you live with such beauty. Thank you for sharing. Funny how it's calming watching the trees and that tractor and watching someone that has started on a dream build. Its one of my dreams to build well help build myself a cabin.

[@Swagg3r3d]

Any concerns about water collecting on the lowest horizontal board at the bottom of the roof from the condensation you spoke about earlier?

[@TheOutsiderCabin]

Great question! I added "skips" in the bottom boards to allow water to escape. Moisture also drains underneath the boards easily enough as well.

[@mrmiketheman1000]

The Outsider never seen this type of way of do the insulation. Interesting since as you say, it displays the inside. Just curious about the condensation. Will be a lot of heat at the top creating water running down. Best thing would maybe be to have ridged insulation boards that let the water run down freely.

I’d like to contradict the old saying that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. Fall is hands down the best season/time of the year. Before all the “basic” stuff like pumpkin spice lattes, that feeling of coziness, changing leaves, harvest and Thanksgiving makes home and family feel even more special. Seeing a cabin in the middle of the woods during fall ices the cake for me. It takes me, and I’m sure a lot of people, to a place of mental solace and peace.

We insulated dads A frame with foam board had a large problem with ants and insects. Did some recharch foam board losses a lot of its insulating due to insect damage.

[@TJStellmach]

Came here to say this. Carpenter ants will nest in the stuff, if they can get in.

[@TheBonsaiZone]

Yes, I'm removing my foam board from the walls, it was full of ant tunnels, I would guess about 7 nests in just one wall. It also trapped moisture in and rotted out the wood underneath. This was due to a roof leaking over many years.

[@Morgan2XL]

Anyone try PIR commercial foam, fire resistant unlike blue stuff. Band building yearly with diatemaceous earth to keep the ants and insects away.

[@Scooters4521]

Brings back memories, bad ones!! I did a similar roof alone on a timber frame cabin I’m still finishing. 12/12. 34ft, wide 19ft eve to ridge. Galvanized. I put 2 layers of 2” rigid and 1” between straps. For close to a 20r. I had my ladder on a 45 degree anchored in my truck bed. Great work!!
