Gods watching over you as you build! I’m glad you weren’t hurt more than you were. I do love watching you and Gary build your house. I was sapost to build my own home but my helper got cancer and we had to quit! He’s gone now; he was my bestest friend, teacher and brother through Yeshua/Jesus. I miss him terribly! I pray you two stay safe through your build!

[@crazyjohn6130]

I can't wait till Mel and Gary can walk out the kitchen with morning coffee and sit and watch nature wake up from the back deck. Lots of love from your crazy friend in ohio

[@roberto.peterson9917]

safety first zip panels technically not good for deck board

[@his4evr2c]

​@@roberto.peterson9917 Respectfully They knew that .They used what they had We just Thank God it was not a horrible disaster.

[@judsonpaul3607]

Your roof work is fantabulous

[@3MISSISSIPPI]

It’s looking so good guys ! The deck is awesome ❤

[@willaputney3947]

GARY SURE KNOWS HOW TO FIGURE ALL THE ANGLES, VERY SMART. MEL HAS GREAT FAITH IN HIS ABILITY, IT ALWAYS WORKS OUT, YEH!!!

[@jamesrandazzo6427]

lmao what all you say get over it

[@waynedavenport3919]

Nothing like alittle kiss to give u energy while working lmao. It’s all looking great guys ✌️😎❤️

[@chrissyfrancis8952]

My knees have been knocking every time you got up there. So when you fell, my heart raced so hard. It was a miracle that you fell straight down & not over the edge. I’m sure you feel much better having boards down everywhere you’re working. I for one will be relieved when you get to the point of deck boards. I’m terrified of heights, I’d refuse to get up there until the boards were down.

[@dandevlin185]

It's cool watching CRC videos and hearing you guys in the background cutting wood and putting screws in 😅, Mel take care of yourself girl, don't overdo it. Now you can relax and Gary can finish the roof beams. Great video as always. Thanks for sharing your journey with us. See you on the next video ✌️✌️

[@JeffGarrison-xz9qq]

Great job...thankful thing are better with you Mel. Stay safe !

[@markrobinson5511]

WOW! Y'all are doing a,great job.

[@CarolWhite-il7ki]

So pleased you're ok Mel ,,been worried about you.. take care..

[@GoodwillCriminalsOfDallas]

I would highly recommend using hurricane straps for the joist and a scattering of Sampson Strong-Tie screws that would go thru the rafters and into the main beam. Even some PL Premium Adhesive along the top end of the rafters beside the edges would be an improvement. I don't know what sort of winds and storms you get there but preparing for extremes is never a bad thing.

[@stephenkennedy7931]

It's great when a plan comes together eh? God Bless from your Canadian Friend.

[@elainebuchka6533]

❤Happy To See You Mel & Gary, That Fall Mel Still FREAKS ME OUT!! Hope Your Healing/Healed Up Nicely! Such Awesomeness on the Build. HOPE you LEAVE THE LONG OVERHANG FOR MORE SHADE AND CAN KEEP RAIN OFF & STILL ENJOY THE DECK!! Nothing better than Porch/deck sitting with a Cup of Hot Coffee & Enjoying the View!! God Bless & Take Care BE SAFE PLEASE!! (have seen 2 Homesteaders lately Injured) 1 watch OUR FRIENDS at @Robertson's Belly Acres 😢❤ could have been worse but Always BE SAFE..❤ *I NEED AN UPDATE MEL ON BRITTNEY & BABY. I BEEN HANGIN SINCE WED. 😢❤

[@barbarahopkins5239]

Brilliant job guys, can't wait for the next faze, we'll done 👍 ❤😊x

[@jamesjessee4064]

Nice job y'all😊

[@DavidWvu]

Another great video as always.Glad to see you're getting better Melanie. I watched that fall over and over and over and I really thought you could have broken your ankle the way your foot rolled. Thank God you didn't break anything or get injured worse than you did. Which was pretty bad and scary. Great job on figuring out all the angles on the rafters Gary. It's looking nice.

[@DavidGlunt]

Looks really good, and no broken butt cheeks.

[@donniemartin8798]

Video is great your build is looking great God keep you all healthy an safe sorry about Mel's fall

[@estellaknox9285]

Love the progress!

[@CynBrown]

Looking great Guys

[@Hittingtheroadwithgandg]

Great Job Mel & Gary

[@MikeBeam-mi8jo]

what a journey, wow...

[@DonalMccaffery]

Hip rafters are always longer and heavier than we think . I’ve done some so long and heavy had to use a machine to lift them.

[@keithmullen5891]

Of all the possible results from this fall, this was one of the good ones. You could have fallen off of the porch. TG you are safe❤.

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

You got that right! Thank you 🙏🏼💚

[@lorilarkin827]

Looking great 🫶🇨🇦

[@sharnabotes5216]

[@barrywhitlock141]

I agree with you Mel. it does look so good. those end beams looked so heavy and awkward to move. but well done on a great job.

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Great job guys!

[@CarolWhite-il7ki]

Gary you take care as well.

[@gailwehrheim9740]

You both make me so nervous. Your doing a great job!

[@hamimahatan6307]

OMG! Salute ❤❤

[@reneebunch6007]

That was awesome and you guys are getting there. You are almost ready to do the roof. Way to go.

[@outdoorstudios2022]

Hello SLR, I that the Shou Sugi Ban method on your rafters

[@kayashmore4296]

As you said that's all you got but I say you got a lot to show for your labors!!

[@Jana-j6d5w]

STUPID QUESTION,SORRY……..BUT doesn’t the scaffolding have brakes on the wheels?? Your Sundeck is going to be great!!! Hope you get to enjoy it this Summer???

[@OpposeNeurotoxins]

Question ? didn't you need to put the metal roofing on first uner the beams of the porch before putting the beams on roof? What about rain water seeping under those boards of the porch roof ? Will you put up Eve Troughs on the edge of the porch roof ?

[@diyfferent]

No, framing gets done first, then metal roofing. You never do metal first and then add framing over that. There will be no water seeping under boards.

[@vivienhill7934]

That fall was shocking Mel..but I thought you were smart to instinctively fling yourself clear of the frame, as best you could.

[@charlenegrady8781]

Awesome job👍🇺🇸❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@rwb5731]

Looking good!

[@annaschmanna1]

That's what we need is a level that's sized for our mouths. 😂

[@tracy.mankey4562]

Looks awesome

[@rahlholm]

I don't understand the triple for the hip ridge it's not supporting anything that the other rafters can't handle ,and when you go to sheath you'll see a big issue

[@andrasbenyovszki788]

Neverendingstoooryyyy😂

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

Wooooah Wooooah Wooooah! Reach the stars, Fly a fantasyyyyyyyy! Dream a dream, And what you see will beeeeeeee 😎

I wish I whas Der to help you

[@paulshuppert4975]

Good job. just build up the cabin roof on the end to match the porch roof and you got it

[@madebysteve1738]

out here in the construction world it didnt happen if you dont show off the bruise or blood,, just satin,,

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

I ain't moonin' y'all! LoL nice try though

[@DonnaKay62Illinios]

Somehow I’ve missed this but what does the 41.36 mean?

[@goodnhappy41]

@donnakay that's how many acres they live on

[@DonnaKay62Illinios]

[@jamesrandazzo6427]

they suck

[@jamesrandazzo6427]

i did not mean that they are doing wrong but they should have there inside done then outside but who iam me but iam but i build houses

[@diyfferent]

@@jamesrandazzo6427 The roofing needs to be done soon before the black ice and water shield gets to be too old. It has a limited exposure time.

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

I just love it when strangers on the Internet think they know how to best spend my time and money. LoL! Hilarious 😂

[@jamesrandazzo6427]

i do not care what you are saying to me dont care i said my mouth said it go on with your life not my life i donot live there i donot pay your bills i said what i said get over it and relax i dont care were they live iam just lmao what they are doing but they do not have the money i have to get shit done and yes iam a bulider so stop getting on my ass you are the fuck up people comming back to me but i really dont give a shit

[@diannefoster3297]

you could always put a chock under the wheels of the scaffolding

[@dorothyallen3614]

What do you mean, that’s all we got today? What yall did today is fantastic, ya killed it Gary! I’m so very excited for yall because this has been a mega milestone getting completed and it’s going to be beautiful when it’s dried in and then the pretty stuff attached 😂❤🎉, congratulations Gary and Mel!

[@davefalzone3054]

The only thing that would have made the fall better is if Gary would have yelled out "tuck and roll baby"

[@SimpleLifeReclaimed]

😂😂😂😂

[@redneckways1617]

Good to see that you are recovering from the fall… Y’all could have screwed down a 2x to the floor to keep the scaffold from moving

[@jeb3415]

They should do that any time the scaffolding is near a drop off edge. The brakes don’t keep the scaffolding from skipping or jumping when lifting and maneuvering heavy or shifting weight.

[@lydiamitchell6814]

I said the same thing, put a 2x board down, but still they are not trying that. It works to put the flooring boards down too.

[@jeb3415]

@@lydiamitchell6814 I know that is why I made my comment. And then in this video failed to notice the open edge at the back left of the scaffolding. I know the camera angle can make it look closer, but yikes. And not a criticism. A genuine concern.

MeL you and Gary Rock Safety First from now on respectfully. Y'all got this We Know Angels are watching over Y'all in JESUS name
