Ep 11: Roofing Our Off-Grid Cabin | Rafters to Metal

We are back at the cabin build! Today we go all the way from rafters to metal on the cabin roof.
The guys have been working hard in between other jobs and visitors to keep up the cabin's progress. We are so close to having the exterior work done, that we can taste it!
Luckily, the weather has been amazing and we should have the metal totally one before any more rain hits. Then we can work on fixing up those floors and getting the whole cabin weather-tight.
Our homestead really is beginning to come together this summer. We will be living in our little off-grid home before we know it.

What a beautiful cabin. You can tell Levi's Dad is a real carpenter. 😊

[@CatherineStone-mp1tq]

Maybe Navy CB ?

[@mariezafonte6473]

Levi is learning from a true professional. Seeing the two of them on the roof is a bit scary but amazing.

[@roseannejacquette9347]

What an undertaking. Levi’s dad is a champ. Getting closer every day. Henry is getting so big

[@michaelburns9172]

Beca watching you and your son blesses my heart .

[@lenprice6315]

That’s a beautiful cabin y’all are building. I’ve watched it all the way from the beginning and I’m at the 11th episode now y’all are braver than I am no way I would be up on that roof. Y’all are doing a good job. I enjoy your videos. keep up the good work . Tiny ( Len Price ) Houston MS

[@michaelburns9172]

Can't wait to see the little man walking in his new home.

[@sherrycraig4745]

It makes me so nervous watching them. They work great together. They are doing such a great job. But I catch myself holding my breath cause they are so high up. Love y’all’s videos.

[@brendaharnum]

Me too!

[@debbiecollins1154]

Just watching this from down below makes me so nervous. I almost can’t watch. I must say that Levi and his dad are working so hard trying to get this cabin build done. Great job!!!! It’s going to be awesome. Thanks for sharing your Alaskan journey with us all.❤❤

[@vickichristinney3641]

[@rudybermudes5947]

Baby stole the show 😍

[@monahardy978]

Things are looking so good..hard working people and Henry is adorable ❤

[@dorisjecminek9278]

This is scary. Going along at great speed.

[@michaelburns9172]

Love watching you and your father working together.

[@gailreese4699]

Beca you need to get a play pen with a net over it. Those buggs will eat that baby up.

[@vickybentley3949]

[@annregan5330]

Hello there becca wow the progress Levi and dad are making is really good roof going on its all coming together becca big hug to beautiful henry.👍👍👋🇬🇧❤

[@DimensionalHorse]

Have u seen 1Woman Building in the Last Frontier??? She's built several cabins all by herself...pretty amazing 😊

[@d8ve]

Have to add, genius idea to install the ridge cap as you go and tuck the other side under, just did mine after the roof was done and it was scary!

[@blacksheepexpedition6347]

Glad the weather was nice to get an early start on the build. Looks great..

[@susanburnett6123]

Your cabin is looking good. It looks so scary when they climb up on the top to put the metal on. I watched this guy in Louisiana who calls himself a bee wrangler. I thought that mesh Levi added was smart after watching the bee wrangler remove bees that have gotten up into rafters. I bet the next time we see the cabin, the roof will be on there. Have a great day❤

[@happyinfidel1]

another week you will be dried in..yeahhhhh!

[@jewels7832]

That cabin is gonna be awesome! Levi & his dad sure are working hard! Great view from the roof 😊

[@lauraquigley6403]

[@Karenlemley]

[@kathystafford6668]

It's looking so good!

[@sharronbrauer6116]

House looks great💕

[@SingleDadHomesteading]

Looks great

[@sarahschlosser1203]

Not long and you will be able to move in

[@lonnywheeler9821]

Are you not worried about the snow load on that thin metal roof up there without plywood under it? I'm just wondering load pressure.

[@davidallen1418]

Hi, just found your channel, nice looking cabin. I would like to ask why you have chosen not to put a water proof membrane under your tin, are you not worried about condensation dripping on to your insulation?

[@rock-n-rollfoodie]

Why don’t those dudes on roof have gear on to protect from falling?

[@d8ve]

Wondering why the fascia was cut on an angle instead of a vertical cut to have a straight edge?

[@kimjranwilhelmsen860]

Why no waterproof osb, 2x2 for airflow and then metal roof?

[@Nello353]

Iwas thinking the same thing !

[@rangertruck]

No vapor barrier on the roof? Becca why aren't you insisting your fellow to wear a safety harness when working that high off the ground!??

[@ReneeAment-jk9zj]

Hello. I was just wondering if you're log home is a kit? And who from. Thank You. Beautiful.

[@beccanlevisalaska]

Timberline Sawmill in Palmer, AK

[@bettyharper2214]

👍♥️

[@joecraig7581]

morning... why cut off the end s of the rafters?

[@futurealaskan706]

What did the log package cost? I’ve watched all the videos, but I can’t remember if you said or not. Thanks I understand if you don’t want to say..

[@beccanlevisalaska]

We got the kit from Timberline Sawmill in Palmer, AK if you go to their website they have estimated prices for a basic package.

[@RobinJones-ow9oz]

Are you going to have a big front porch

[@mortenmyhrmoen7592]

🇳🇴👍👍👌

[@Pilotc180]

No under layer or moisture barrier; not good
