Roof tiles, fascia, soffit and facade (Ep.18) Building a house by myself

I'm sorry about the AI ​​voice, but I don't have enough time to add my own voice over. If the voice bothers you, you can turn on subtitles. In this video I go back to the facade and finish it, I also lay roof tiles and install soffit and fascia. Laying roof tiles is heavy, very heavy. It is recommended that you use a brick lift but I couldn't get hold of one so I carry everything by hand. I took a picture of myself afterwards and that's the one you see in the picture

I'm almost done watching all individual episodes. What amazes me most is not as much what we see as what we don't see (once its done and finished. You can pour millions building a new house, but more often then not, the better part of it will be spent in the wrong areas (bling bling), while the bones are just so-so, but certainly not here.

[@gu2023]

The horizontal studs are normally called 'battens' in the UK, the vertical ones are called 'counter-battens.' Enjoying watching the progress!

[@ll-cy3dc]

It has been fun and informative to see you build this house from the ground up. You are awesome for documenting your progress for us to see here!

[@benjaminledford6111]

Just beautiful. Wow. I could feel your pride as you stepped back to look at it at the end.

[@pewheretic7967]

The layered look of the fascia, along with the corner detail really pops. This is an "organic" build that shows a relationship with home and builder. Very admirable and inspiring.

[@BreakingFreeOffGrid]

All the little details really show the amount of pride you have with your work! Amazing!

It has been great pleasure following your journey and you've been a real inspiration for me! I am just starting the build of my house with the help of my father, who's a carpenter (I have 0 experience). I hope we manage to get a house as beautiful as yours! Cheers from sunny Bulgaria!

[@roberthughes2665]

I live in the USA and we usually call those furring strips no matter which way they go. Battens are on the exterior layer of the siding and sometimes used to cover the joints in the siding

[@misteraye]

In Canada, we call it rain screen as well

[@marquardtbd]

Purlins. They are the horizontal strips and are nailed directly to the rafters in the US. Used mostly with metal barn roof without insulation. The verticals would still be used when sheeting and insulation for the same reasons as you stated .

[@WotanSkyFather]

Must have been a good feeling to have all those tiles laid.

[@wyohman00]

I think we call these furring strips. They are used when you want need a gap between two surfaces. Roofing tiles, ceiling treatments and concrete basement walls are common areas for furring strips.

[@mindsparx1]

I appreciate the information

Impressive work! I'm curious about the reasons behind your choice to abandon the dormer construction, but I'm still excited for what's to come! Keep up the excellent work!

[@mindsparx1]

Due to wacky rules, the house has to be built first before I can apply for planning permission for the dormer 😅😅

[@loaeihaifa9481]

I am almost finished with your videos (your mini course) and I am wondering what should I do next to prepare my self to this ultimate test? I was wondering if you could do a video showing and talking about all the tools you used in the building of your home?

[@athenarocar]

In the US there are many terms for the boards. Verticals are usually called strapping or furring strips. Horizontals are also called strapping or furring strips but also can be called purlins.

[@mindsparx1]

I appreciate the information

[@alabastardmasterson]

Definitely called purlin strips on a roof and not anything else

[@EnslaveTV]

Are your mold stoppers made of zinc? Your craftmanship is over the top beautifully done!!

[@petter5721]

Nice ❤

[@nikolamaodus4076]

Great work and yet so humble a man. My deepest bow for the work done and keeping yourself grounded. We have similar methods of building but in my country most of the family houses are made of hard materials (bricks, clay and concrete blocks and recently Ytong). We also have light building house types to some extent, but they are similar to american style (adapted to our financial situation) and they are made poorly comparing to your type of build. Mostly lacking of thicker thermal insulation and almost complete absence of vapour barriers. You also have much advanced water and electrical instalations. As far as the roof goes, we use masive timber trusses, mostly covered by timber boards (and of lately with OSB), followed by water stopping layer and clay tiles. The system of counter battens and battens is almost the same. Anyway, just wanted to ask if you put some form of snow stoppers on the roof? Best regards and keep up the great work.

[@mindsparx1]

Thank you, i was thinking of installing snowstoppers but then i decided that i want the snow to fall of since i wont be in the house much in the winters.

[@slappywhite9739]

Awesome! I binge watched all parts today 😆 and have a question: how do the roof tiles stay on? Here in Florida, they use a type of cement that is pretty ugly. I am curious how yours stay put. Lovely work!

[@casst346]

i see it was explained at 8:28, the last roof tile is screwed on and hence locks all the other tiles.

[@makatanau2878]

Another great video tutorial, thank you! Why didn't you install roof windows? They would provide move light for the attic.

[@antioch4019]

His old house had a dormer, maybe he intends to make one for this as well? Problem with Swedish rules is the house has to be completed first before applying for permission to build the dormer.

[@margaretbear]

I don't see what you mean about the fascia... It looks aesthetically fine to me. What am I missing? Edit: it does look nice with the extra board, but I wouldn't have noticed anything if you hadn't done that.

[@mindsparx1]

I'm probably just picky. I thought the top and bottom were too big for that in between :)

[@carlos51425]

Like your build, will there be more?

[@LarryLaird-eb8rp]

And they use them for cedar shingles 😊

[@tremolos86]

Väldigt snyggt hus och tak! Funderade du inte på att ha takfotskil och fotplåt istället för att ha sista läkten på högkant?

[@mindsparx1]

Var tvungen att googla på takfotskil, Smart, ska helt klart kolla på den lösningen nästa gång, skummt att jag inte sprungit på det tidigare.

[@margaretbear]

[@JasonLeeno]

In Canada we just refer to it as strapping.

[@keitho77]

Absolutely great work!! What did you use to secure the roof tiles?

[@mindsparx1]

We usually only fasten the top tiles, they are so heavy so they are going nowhere.

[@mcg6762]

I think code in Sweden is that 2 layers all around (top, sides, bottom) should all be nailed or screwed

[@peterdement]

Are there no roof penetrations for plumbing vent stacks, exhaust fans, water heater vent, stove/fireplace chimney, electrical outlet for convenience? Is the ladder on the back side permanently mounted to the roof ?

[@mindsparx1]

Yes, i will add that later when i have installed all that. And yes, the ladder is permanent, it is required by our codes.

[@zefallafez]

Do you ever have to remove snow from your roof?

[@mindsparx1]

Yes it happens, i have done that a couple of times before.

[@michalwalenciak2478]

In UK studs for roof tiles are called batons

[@chadjennings3907]

24:36 where fascia and sophit meet is called the bird box in US

[@alabastardmasterson]

Those heavy tiles are more labor than most realize. Purlins is the American English vernacular

[@mindsparx1]

Laying roof tiles is no joke, very heavy...

[@KnightGravy]

What is the wind rating as installed? These are very intriguing to me.

[@mindsparx1]

We usually only fasten the top tiles, they are so heavy so they are going nowhere.

[@TerryE-UK]

I am surprised that you don't interleave the tiling "brick pattern, as this gives better tie-in and resilience to wind lifting. On reflection, I guess that this is because you have vertical rather than pitched eaves. Durrrhhh to me . In the UK there are companies that will pre-bend aluminium eave and soffit fascias to custom profiles before kiln-dry powder coating. This is what we used on our self-build. Looks nice; long life and zero maintenance.

[@mindsparx1]

These pans are made to be laid in the way I did it, which is probably the most common way in Scandinavia. but i understand what you mean

[@talleyrand2739]

what holds your ridge tiles in place ,here we set with mortar in au.

[@mindsparx1]

We fasten them with nails, mortar is fine, but nails are more common

[@Daniel_Kani]

I've always wondered, are the roof tiles connected in any way or do they just stay put by their own weight? Cheers from Skåne! :)

[@antioch4019]

Weight and by interlocking with each other. Only the last tiles are actually needed to be fastened.

[@NJ_0G]

love this! can i ask how much you have spent so far?

[@mindsparx1]

Hi, around 75000 USD so far

[@Fekillix]

The wooden strips under the ceiling tiles would usually be called battens and counter battens.

[@isakwatz11]

I was going to say furring strips but that might be different? (I am not a native english speaker)

[@Fekillix]

@@isakwatz11 Furring strips are usually when you want to make a wall cavity bigger, like he did on the inside to recess the vapour barrier.

[@goose9238]

Isn't each tile screwed down? Or maybe i couldn't see you doing that?

[@dapsychopomp244]

battens and purlins in AU

[@tonygristina4860]

I did not see soffit vents and I think you said the roofing tiles are floating and not nailed down. Is this correct?

[@mindsparx1]

There is a vent under the roof between the insolation and wood. The tiles weights 4 kilo each so gravity press them down. We do nail them if you live close to the coast or in windy areas

[@TehBananaBread]

What would the totall cost be for your house?

[@mindsparx1]
