My Cabin Roof HAS A LEAK!!!

[@ozziesoderstrom7623]

When cutting through metal, we always start the hole saw in reverse then forward to cut, works great. Same as if you're screwing into wood and don't want to it split. Reverse then forward.

[@frisbeephil]

Gotta love the beeping of the back up alarm. Off grid excavators.

[@Steffenhelg]

Real off grid always has back up alarms

[@MrHowieZ1973]

I learned years ago never put a stovepipe through a roof. Always go through the wall if you can.

[@cattleNhay]

Every house in the alps has the chimney out the roof…just got to do it properly (I understand Americans have not achieved that level yet, so okay, go out the walls)

[@MrHowieZ1973]

@@cattleNhay I( imagine you EU folks don't mind getting a little wet from a leaky roof and thats why your country has the most chimney repairs in the world Lmao

[@froth7133]

Very clever overcoming the bit challenge with the wood on drilling your hole on the outhouse. I’ve got a few acres on a property and I’ve come to REALLY respect farmers for all the skills they need to be successful!!

[@lumberingshenanigans]

I also had a leak when I first installed my Cubic Mini, in driving rain only. I reached out to them to see if I needed a wider cap, because I had the same hunch as you… their advice (which fixed my issue 100%) was simply to add high temp caulk to the VERTICAL seam in the exposed part of the double-wall flue. Worked like a charm for me. Definitely advice worth passing on.

[@HamckRgr]

Nice recovery (hole-sawing)

[@corn0717]

That's the main reason I want to go with an incinerating toilet. I would rather pay more up front and throw out some ash than deal with a composting unit. To each His own. I know you don't need my praise but you're doing awesome Jesse, and thank you for bringing us along for the adventure!

[@projectbumblejeep4190]

Temper temper... Hey , just wondering, would that vent and the chimney work going 90 out the wall and then up. I've seen it done that way in my area. That way you don't have any roof penetrations. Just wondering.

[@poohbear4130]

More free advice.. noticed there was no Storm collar/roof ring on the the chimney over the flashing? It diverts water that runs down the chimney and not directly on the flashing! Collar or ring slides down around the chimney till you get to the flashing, a beed of caulking around the collar and Bobs your uncle works for both chimneys. I know these Chimneys expand and contract on wood burning fires more then gas stoves and generally require a little more maintenance but good luck with the projects.

[@martin_mue]

Sounds like the neighbours have a boat with a backup beeper.

[@chillbro606]

And a semi trailer attached to it.

[@SnelgroveDave]

Sure did appreciate you including the struggle with the hole saw, and even chucking it. LOL. It reminded me of me! None of my jobs EVER go as smoothly as yours always seem to do. THANKS!

[@louisclarkeii]

HAHAHAHAHAHAH. I love it. The struggle is real my friend. That frustration stays close to me!

[@kengregory1541]

Having flashbacks watching you with that makita drill. I have the same one and i built a gazebo out of madrona for a client that had engineered internal bolts that required dozens of: 2" forstner holes up to 8" deep, 3/4" auger holes (at all angles imaginable) up to 42" deep, and tons of control. I almost ripped my thumb clean off several times with that drill when the forstner would jam up. Makita made that thing beastly! Great control, brother. ...bummer to have to put pvc in front of that gorgeous twisty slab behind the loo... but it's still probly the prettiest outhouse on the lake!

[@dunael1976]

The gasket attached to the roof should also have been installed in a diamond shape to remove the possibility of standing water on the upside seam, just like you did on the toilet roof.

[@coreyberryman57]

Strongly agree dektites should be 45degress to the ridge. Also low pitch roof should have a pan flashing running from top to below flu then dektite installed on top.

[@ManiacalKiwi]

100% correct

[@qaweeorltuys]

But the corners run UP on the ribs of the roof of the outhouse, so it still creates a dam

[@ManiacalKiwi]

@@qaweeorltuys They run the water down the sides diagonally allowing it to run off. Installing its square to the roof creates a horizontal dam which is what eventually leaks. Manufacturers call for the diamond shaped install, and is best practice.

[@PharaoRamsesII]

@@ManiacalKiwi It's those little tips that are very helpful

Mindfulness and recognizing life’s triggers, the work never stops. Keep after it Jesse.

[@andrewknaub6693]

First off, I love your channel. You’re a real craftsman. Secondly I am a roofer by trade with carpentry skills. We never use those rubber roof jacks but if you do use them you could start by putting it at a 45° angle and then water doesn’t dam up behind it.

[@lauraandedwardcannon8861]

You might also consider a small window in the outhouse, I know you have a bit of vent next to the roof but a cross-flow might improve the working of the toilet as well as the smell.

[@nauticalknotcraft]

At least the drill is made to take a fall. Tools can frustrating, they bring out the best and the worst in us. The recovery was priceless. Samurai smooth.

[@chaugen1]

That part with the hole saw and the pilot bit 🤣🤣 frustrating I am sure, but oh so funny. Glad you're making progress even if it's one poop vent at a time!!

[@adamrtr71]

After watching your channel for so long I have Just received my first jar of Odies oil and will be using it on Birch Ply cabinets I have made. 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

He was done asking it to comply.

[@poelmeister]

In Holland (a crazy windy and rainy place) I saw they had pipes shaped like an H on top of their chimneys. So a horizontal pipe, with two verticals at the ends. Even if full wind and rain have a go at that, no way it’s leaking down your chimney. And the smoke can always go out.

[@rpnp2]

That back drop is so gorgeous, i think i could stare at that land for the rest of my life and not get bored.

[@boosbeest1146]

Very nice combo of Odie’s oil bee romance and composting extravaganza. Made me think of this one time I bought flowers for my wife and then telling her I got them for free.

You've got yourself a little temper there, young man, and it makes me feel a whole lot more normal. My neighbors start to cringe when I work outside cause they know I'll be honing my cursing skills real soon. The inanimate fears me, but it most always gets the job done. Make it work with a little persuasion. Keep up the good work! Love your lakeside home; when do you take time to fish?

How is there a semi trailer reversing on an island only accessible by boat?

[@haighyvshaighy]

I’ve found that running your hole saw in reverse for a couple seconds before switching it to forward helps with the saw bucking or catching initially.

[@jimsjacob]

From what I’ve seen with pit toilets in National Parks, you need that vent pipe to extend much higher then that roof line. That prevailing wind you talked about will act as a natural draw and pull air in at the bottom and vent odor out the top. Plus provide that “drying” action you’re looking for.

[@Dermot40]

Now you are having a laugh. Gorgeous sunset scene and Hey Dougie spoiling it. Come on.🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@soccovitch]

The wind strap is great for snow/ice loading on the chimney too. That was a smart move.

[@rosserpace3602]

Where is the backup alarm noise coming from?

[@jordanb3461]

As a plumber I would recommend at least taping the joints on the toilet vent. Maybe some white Duct tape so it's not super tacky looking. But with how loose that bottom joint slipped in it'll get pretty rank with heat during the summer.

[@adriantaylor1266]

Another solution for chimneys and vents is to put them trough the side walls. Then you don‘t have the problems with leaking roofs.

[@nunyabisnis1448]

It's not easy to clean the 90& it also let's the creosote build up quicker and causes a fire danger in the flue pipe ! But yeah that is what you must do for a yurt stove pipe ! 👍🏻✌🏻

[@Stissi16]

Looking better now 👌

[@bladerunner6583]

if you love revelling in Odie's aroma, should apply it liberally inside your outhouse! Enjoy!

[@bartvanbochove2203]

I'm glad I'm not the only one getting mad at inanimate objects, that had me laughing

[@AndyFlood]

You’ll need a stainless steel banding around the pipe collar too.

[@MikeWhitton]

For that pipe and other applications hot glue is great for temporary sealing and a bit of heat opens it back up again when you need to remove it. Agree not a problem in an outhouse anyway ;D

[@dunep6465]

LMAO when I saw the drill bit go through the roof and then the whole thing went off the roof. Reminds me of my younger day when tools didn't work.

[@mech-E]

The swivel type chimney top might be good since there is so much wind.

[@repalmore]

This is going to sound odd and I'm thinking a lot of people will say I'm full of it but if you think about it, it should work. Turn the square so one point is pointing uphill. This pushes the side and allows it to flow better. Traditionally you would install the boot with the up hill side slipped under the sheet metal but not practical here so finding a different way might be the trick.

[@quarlow1215]

I used a tee fitting on the top of my shitter stack. Just pointed it cross ways to the prevailing winds.

[@naturalorang3]

They make solar outdoor flood lamps where the solar panel is on a cord. You can mount the light &sensor indoors and the panel outside and it makes a great automatic light for whenever you’re in there. I have one in our shed and it’s great to have a light night or day and since it’s used infrequently the battery lasts.

[@jangrahame4891]

There are caps with weathervanes on them, that help with preventing driving rain from coming down the chimney.

[@rvcarter2000]

Nice video. You should put a cap on your toilet roof, or water will come down into it.

[@jonnenne]

A composting toilet that you empty a shovel or 2 at a time is great. Absolutely no smells (if you have a vent with one of those wind-powered fans) and no trouble with emptying. The pee mostly just disappears. No costs after buying it.

[@Raymond.Butler]

So, throwing tools that refuse to operate is acceptable samurai practices. COOL, I've practicing samurai for near 60 years. I just knew I was doing it right.

Sorry to say but you definitely need to keep that hole saw… makes for really good content!!🤣 I had struggles with these in the past and was totally able to relate minus throwing the drill. Well done sir!

[@PatNetherlander]

Here’s a thought: why don’t you make a raincap in the shape of a Samurai Helmet? Would be a great project and it’ll work great I guess!

[@AgustinGamex]

Look out for a "H Cap" instead the one u are using! Might in handy for the rains

[@baldyoldfart5828]

I had a similar problem with drips coming through on one of those flanges.. I found that buying another roofing sheet and cutting it over the flange tight to the pipe which acts as a flashing... those flanges against the roofing profile never seal properly.... for me anyway

What is the other property adjacent to you in the background when you working on the chimney pipe? That is a pretty serious dock with finger slips it looks like? how many boats does you neighbor have? or is that a summer camp of some sort?

[@denis9450]

You could do with a swan neck on the toilet pipe since it's only a vent no rain will get in the.

[@anthonyvincent9990]

your venting shroud for the stove pipe should be at least an inch a inch and have over hanging of your stove pipe. As well on a nonrelated note have you made anymore progress on your woodworking vest?

The real problem is not the tube germetisation but the SIDE of the ROOF. Moisture leaks on the inside part of metal roof sheets & leaks on the obstacle (tube) and flows through the pipe.

[@frankwalerius1470]

You should of put the rubber flashing the other direction so when the water comes down the roof, the shape of the flashing will push the water away from the chimney

[@canonicaltom]

I'm sure the snug fit on the toilet vent will work. Not following the directions has always worked out fine. ;)
