Off Grid Earthbag Workshop Part 69 Central Pitched Roof

[@istvanbesenyei9631]

Much relief after going through this stuff kzbin.infoUgkx-ip-9JdKgYMhubLnEjt3OXJkFyS4D2Jd Stress no doubt affects my blood sugar levels. Taking a walk usually help bring them down. Eating sweets is not my favorite, but if i take a large portion of them, my blood sugar level rises high. I think it's the high concentration of the glucose flowing into the bloodstream all at once. This is a lesson worth taking note of. This is a great material to learn from.

[@kellypeters1734]

Probably the best Ryan’s kzbin.infoUgkxGZedDTcDfgD7fG_uU4esfx_EgxzlY2_1 Plans on building a shed is hardly ever found. And Ryan takes the mystery out of different types of foundation options, etc. He even shows how to build a shed with different designs. Very comprehensive, covering different roofing materials, siding, etc.

[@amandasmith3716]

I envy Chris & Dot. While the world continues to go mad, they grow their own food, wood supply, energy etc whatever happens it won’t affect them. Even the cat has a better quality of life than most Brits. Well done Chris for being ahead if the game!

[@jaydegier3892]

I totally agree, as much as I love watching Kris, Dot and the cat on their journey it also unsettles me as I wish that I could be living the same simple life. Great job Kris

[@everready19373]

You're a very patient and disciplined person.

Inspirational stuff. Whilst you were milling,planning, cutting,installing,chopping, planing, chiselling,sawing with hug bit of wood and glass, editing, posting, and generally doing manly stuff, I was inspired to hang a door on my campervan conversion this week which t'wife described as "a bit shit". And then I had beer. And picked some puny tomatoes before the slugs got to them, so kinda the same in a way. Almost. Nearly.

[@KrisHarbour]

that gave me a good laugh.

[@echollis123]

I have seen a majority of your KZbin work and this episode was one of the better. Thanks.

[@zbiku82]

Thank you so much for helping me escape everyday life problems Kris. You are a great inspiration. Please don't stop.

[@kevinfisher1632]

Kris its a brilliant masterclass display. You are an amazing person to do this kind of build. Well done again.

[@sydneyevans2637]

I really enjoy the way you build, Kris. You create and employ models, jigs, a lot of math, and always come up with something very organic that looks like it grew from the land. The roof pitch is just right, to my eye. Any higher and it might have looked like a church. Happy building. Have a great day!

[@johne.hilbert2046]

As a lifetime carpenter- furniture, cabinets, homes, I can do it all. Thank you, for sharing your skills. Love your content. Well done!

[@propylaeen]

Have to admit on a platonic level I love you Kris!

[@propylaeen]

It's your dedication to detail and that you compromise function due to aesthetics in a functional way in. Aesthetics in the end have an impact on quality of live and to weight aesthetics and function is so tricky but you always master it and I really knew each single one of your uploads and love all of them so educational so pure knowing what there is the struggle and seeing your love for nature and living beings its a pure bliss and a statement for goodness is even possible when heart and mind find connection and support of people feeling your power giving power back… really its difficult to find words but your videos flush my live with positivity! Ok and you are a cob, earth, shingle, wood, plant, animals, water power purity lover it‘s like you are just the guy doing quite all the stuff I strongly believe in.

[@ancientbedrock9366]

😎 WOW ! I totally agree with your ??? Brilliantly worded written dedication ! After reading it I had to go take a cold shower ?? Plutonicly speaking of course 🤔😂😂😂 Lol

Another fine video Kris! Amazing work and your kindness to the animals is so sweet

[@moulinenpierre]

Looking good Kris, Always learn something watching your videos.

[@kingsleyknoxlar]

I finally thought to write you. I think I've been watching your videos for more than a year now, way back when you started with that round little cabin with the logs, so I guess it's been a while. I just want to say, you're a very talented guy Kris and I love your work. You can be very proud of everything you do. Incredible craftmanship. I love your ideas and really enjoyed all your videos. Good form Chap!

[@TerryTerryTerry]

Wow - you are amazing - such an industrious and capable human being building your own life despite the outside crap that goes on. Best of luck in your endeavours.

If only we all had your vision. But the good thing is we get to see it come to fruition in every episode. Simply stunning mate.

I was always taught to put a dab of glue on the wedges for the scarf joint because while unlikely, if they did pop out for any reason, the whole joint will come undone.

Good call on the roof pitch. Probably improves things massively from a drag perspective too.

[@brinhaerycammel3467]

The mixture of the rustic and modern joinery on the roof is very eyecatching! Really good stuff.

[@jjt1093]

Been watching your channel for quite sometime now and have to say I am bloody impressed, Living in the UK thankfully you dont get too much of very cold winters, Where I am from its 6 months a year in the high minus, your water generator is amazing and cant believe how much power it puts out thats awesome Wish I could find a way to harness that without freezing up.

[@theautodidacticman_]

When sinking those long screws into hardwoods or just regular lumber, I’ll drag the screw across a bar of soap that I keep in my tool belt. Man it really helps them sink good and tight with a lot less stress on my impact driver and it makes the battery life last a lot longer too. You should give it a try next time your project requires over 3” screws👍

[@jakecavers9111]

This is a really good trick to be honest , and it really dose help your inpacks last longer plush it helps drive them in a lot faster

[@moplum]

Kris your woodworking is a joy to watch. I'm not making this comment to be critical. I did observe a possible problem with mounting the roof glass. The facia board should have been hand planed to the same angle of the rafters. That way the glass lays flat. I did see at least a 1/4" gap at the lower rafter and glass. I'm afraid of leaks or cracking if not corrected now. I hope I helped without intimidating or chastising your wonderful wood working skills.

[@KrisHarbour]

It was planed i just didn't film it. you can see it as i mount the glass and remove the tape film

[@moplum]

@@KrisHarbour thanks for responding Kris. I did miss it. It's going to be a wonderful workshop.

[@RXRSawdustStation]

Fantastic video, Kris! Amazing work! Well done! Thank you for another great video!

[@Richie8a8y]

That 20° pitch looks really smart. Reminds me of some of the visitor centers at the National Seashore around the East Coast of the US. The whole place looks fabulous Kris. Best to Dot and Puss.

Good choice on the roof pitch - that roofline looks great!

really nice design. Simple yet very good looking

[@bradenrowson8324]

good call on the lower pitch, gotta feel the form for the landscape

[@frankbliss2924]

I love your videos and have been watching 4 years now! One suggestion, instead of lifting the car you could alternatively dig and concrete a pit around 2' wide 5' long and a depth around 5' with a couple of metal covers when not in use. That way you don't have to lift or support anything, and can move comfortably in and out from under the car to work on it while retaining your full shop space. Much cheaper than a modern automotive lift and requires no electricity or power. Love your work, when you were building the water generator some years ago I was so inspired, watched it like a TV series!

[@Mumakinder]

gosh kris it looks fabulous......... thankyou sweets for taking your time to show us your amazing work hugsx

[@darrenstockton9595]

hi kris that is coming on realy well great to see good craftmanship and the dedication you have thanks for sharing

[@frankhoffman3566]

Years ago I framed houses. You are correct about the ''spreading'' force when there is no ceiling beam for triangulation. Allow me to suggest something. No car on a lift is going to all the way up. The bottom of the rafters are an upside down ''V'' . This means you can get a small amount of triangulation up near the bottom of your ridge. Figure your narrowest car, measure the roof and have the cross piece an inch higher than the car can go.. Cross piece can be a plywood gusset, steel strap or conventional lumber well nailed. I'm sure you already thought of this, but on the off chance you didn't..........

[@kenleach2516]

To create is awesome, enjoy what you share

[@donaldshields2483]

Very nice work you are really talented keep up the good work I enjoyed work watching you

[@Mike-vo8nk]

Looking really good. Have you thought of some kind of clear roof instead of shingles. It would be a great skylight

[@KrisHarbour]

It was originally going to be fully glass. But a heatwave a while back made me change my mind on that. I didnt want to much sun on the top of my head when working in there.

[@Mike-vo8nk]

Oops. Should have watch the whole video first, I’d have seen you had windows :-)

[@carlustownsend7588]

Just loved what you are doing very inspiring.

[@yoyopg123]

Another great video Kris. Some takeaways from my perspective (for what it's worth). 1) I think you made the correct decision about the roof line/roof pitch. From a cost/benefit perspective, the amount of time you will have the van or whatever other vehicle on the lift will be but a tiny fraction in comparison with the times you will pass by that building being bothered by the aesthetic of an excessive bulge to your roof line. You made the right trade off. 2) This is the first video where I really appreciated the nature imposed rhythm of working with the mixture of power sources you have on hand (i.e. wind, solar, hydro). While at first it might seem a pain to wait for things to power up, if you didn't have that forced downtime, you would have missed out on some of the other simple pleasures around your home such as taking puss puss out for a visit with the sheep. The older I get, the more important I think it is to take time to slow down and appreciate things. This may be a reason why so many of us enjoy this channel and others like it. Can't wait to see the preparation for the turf roof. Very interested to see how that is done so that the wooden understructure doesn't rot away. Great stuff as always Kris!

[@dougtapp6051]

looks great - i agree with the lower pitch - well done...

[@paulmcgroggan7749]

Love the work i enjoy watching please keep going cant wait for the workshop to be finished and on to the next project .......

[@JohnDobak]

I'm surprised the center pitched roof section wasn't a little higher to allow for some vertical windows. I think I saw them referred to as fenestral windows? They used to be added to ye olden houses to allow more light in and could serve as ventilation systems too.

[@rocklover7437]

What a incredible artistic/engineer/ craftsman you are Kris .

[@danbrown4420]

Part 69? Nice. Sounds like you've found the happy medium in terms of roof height/lift size/room usability for other stuff to me 👍

[@ironjohnlad]

Oh Kris, I am 61. Watching you do all this stuff, I feel I have missed out on life. Your skills are phenomenal. I am wondering how you , learned all these skills ! I am wondering if it was you dad ? Thanks for doing these mazing video's.

Hey bud, be positive and it's never to late to learn! Use Kris to inspire you to learn a new skill (KZbin helps a lot). Put one foot after another buddy. Take care

[@kerryclark1926]

You can add rafter ties close to the ridge beam to help keep the rafters from pushing down and out as well. Your van/car can only get so high based on you roof slope. Just put the rafter ties a bit higher than the roof of your van.

[@akosfest9525]

Hi Kris, this is just awesome. It is so nice to know that these things really exist and one person can make such a difference with awesome craftmanship and knowledge. Huge buildings from local materials and milled wood. Also, I really like your personality that shows during these videos.

[@RoyBlumenthal]

That roof looks amazing!!!

[@chrisfryer3118]

I loved doing cedar shingles, although you do need plenty, as the overlap is about 2/3rds at shallow pitches. I've also love the spare stainless ARS nails that are left over. Your joinery was as impressive as ever.

[@TheEmbrio]

Thanks for explaining your though process and decision. And you have great skills.
