That Jerry is worth his weight in gold! Very impressed with his knowledge and skill!

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

He sure is!! Thanks for watching

Having Jerry is a blessing for sure. I go by Jerry as well.

You're building the cabin on an absolutely beautiful spot on the property! So interesting to see it going up. Jerry is great at what he does but your Dad helping makes it even more special.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Agreed! Thank you 😊

[@cherylsteiner7753]

Looks amazing! You all have been working so hard. Kudos to your Dad! I love all the cedar you are able to use, such a bonus. I have never seen the inside of a cedar tree. So gorgeous and I bet it smells great. Count your blessings! Be safe and take care 🙏

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Yes it does smell great! Thanks 😊

[@jamesdaron3344]

Thanks for taking us along on your build journey. Your family will never know the pride you will have inside from building the family cabin by hand. Your builder Jerry is something else. I am just a city boy, but I know the skill and talent he has to wheeled that chainsaw and sculpt those cedar logs to join to the wall Framing and receive the rafters. Well done Jerry. God bless you and your family.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Yes Jerry is the best carpenter I know! So glad we have him! Thanks 😊

Michael when you were on those 2 x 4s with the ladder and gunning - well I just kept thinking its going to be okay because he is showing the video right. I don't think that was OSHA approved! LOL! That house is going to be stunning, the creek, the trees, the setting! I am in love! Hope to stay there one day! Congratulations! My husband was a carpenter just like Jerry. There was nothing he couldn't do. I love watching Jerry and ya'll building. Brings back wonderful memories of my late husband!😊

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Well, I’m so glad your enjoying the videos!! Thank you and yes I was nervous on that ladder 😬!!

[@ryanhablitzel]

I was nervous watching that also

[@vmcgriff]

I LOVE Cedar!! Love the smell, love the color of the wood, love that it makes me think of home in the foothills of Arkansas. Growing up we always went out in the woods around our house and cut a cedar tree for our Christmas tree! So those smells always bring back awesome memories of simpler happy times. 🏡♥️🌲The cabin is going to be awesome! So happy for you guys! 🙏🏻

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Yes we love it too! And we cut a cedar for Christmas too! Thank you 😊

[@SillyGoose2024]

My childhood home in the early 80s had cedar siding. When I smell cedar today I literally get transported back in time almost 40 yrs.

[@anncoleman2042]

Yeah man I am a carpenter of over 30 years and I can tell you that's the best way to do Outriggers hands down. I am try to go to Rafters over but one will work especially with the size of those Rafters it's just fine no problem you're going to be a great looking building that's for sure. Guys stay safe and stay well and as always God bless

[@angelfaye101]

If you're still on the fence about what to do in the loft. You should look up Ana White on KZbin. Last year she made a closet along the short wall of her daughter's attic bedroom that would be a great storage solution for your family if you're interested. Hope this helps 😊

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thanks for the tip!

[@LivingTheRVLocaLife]

looks awesome :) glad your doing well and keeping busy we are running out of things to do so been looking for land stay safe take care

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Happy land hunting! Thanks 😊

[@doloralfaro8332]

The roof style is good it's typhoon resistant.. the wind will just slide. Most of our roof in my country is like that for middle class family and needy people.

[@cendyjohnson5437]

I've enjoyed ur video. I'm working on my land. And u have given me some amazing ideals to think about.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Thanks

[@getfreethenrv815]

Yep. We did the same thing! Shed roof over 28x32. Looks like your house.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Awesome! I love this style!

[@mmanut]

New Subscriber, like it, perfect set up, low maintenance. I know that plywood decking is made to take water on it but I would at least lay down some tar paper, just a thought. Great job guys‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸

Coming along nice. If it's going to he an "off grid" weekend, I hope there's going to be a jacuzzi!!??...lol

[@monicajensen859]

I would close the big opening and have the head space and open the short side that way your not losing the head space that can be used

[@dlsiefer]

Hey they that looks great.whats the chances of getting a set of plans. Thanks Dan

[@debbiecarter4558]

You are learning so much...but you on those ladders was super scary and dangerous...you needed to be singing "Jesus, hold the ladder"..

Great looking place! Did you guys design the building, or can you point to architecture plans? Looking to build something similar. Thanks!

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

We designed it ourselves. I don’t have any blueprints. It’s 20x24 with an 8x8 add on. Roof is 3x12. Hope that helps

How did you insulate the roof?

Good!! I love watching you building this tiny home of yours. It is so exciting!! Micheal I was saying to myself....could you please be careful on that ladder!! It was a little scary to watch. You are doing a beautiful job. Jerry is a amazing!! Wish he lived near by! Keep up the good work....careful on the ladder! .

Thank you 😊

[@carlmax46]

how can they "stay safe" when doing so many unsafe acts?

[@meUtragic]

What was the length of the rafters for this? I'm liking the shed style I have a 28ft wide span which would need to be a mono truss ijoist or rafter style. We have a 30snow load in michigan where I am. I like the idea of using 28ft long 2x12s if I can meet code with my calculations I can at smaller on center 12 or 16.

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

I believe 12'.. its 24 ft in length and we had the cedar post in the center as support.

[@meUtragic]

How do you Iike using that Zip system? I see you have it red and green. I love the idea of sealed envelope that it offers. What's your experience with it thus far?

[@loduke3905]

@@meUtragic Hubers zip is amazing, I have it on my build as well, with prices for lumber being what they were it was a no-brainer. On my build I used zip as the sheathing then used double sided attic foil wrapped around the entire building w the proper tape, after that I used furring strips then added my siding. By using the "reflectix" in addition to the furring strips it gave me a proper air gap for a radiant barrier. This is blocking 99% of radiant heat and emissivity from sipping into the building. Fun fact, the radiant foil they have out on the market is an all in one that is a radiant barrier (if used properly) as well as a vapor barrier that is permeable. I recently started to replace my front tall walls cedar lap siding w LP smart sides panels like I have on the other 3 sides. The zip system was in the EXACT same condition as the day I installed it a year and half ago, that's despite my horrible job of siding it as an impatient noob. My build is the same design just different dimensions, mine is a 16x20 Mono pitch front wall is 13' 6" back wall is 9' with a 20ft x 8ft lean to add on in the back of it. I am going to soon be installing a 20ft x 6ft lean to on the front that will be a screened in porch and my solar panels will be on the roof of it. Can't say enough good things about Hubers products, I am slightly biased as my step mother worked for them for almost 20 years starting w them as a small start up. They spend alot of money and time researching, developing but they hire contractors who work in the field to give them insight and help design new products. Great company, they treat their employees really well and offer great benefits to their team, we can use more companies that treat their people that way but also care about what products they're putting on the markets.

[@jerryphillips7330]

Looking very sharp. I am wondering when you actually did the build of the Tiny House because the trees should be in leaves already this time of the year. Was the build in late Feb early March?

[@LoftisPartyofSix]

Yes we started mid February and this video was probably mid March. Thanks

Isn't that cedar beam too heavy for that stick build? You could have used two post from the same style to support on each end from the ground up? Again maybe I am wrong. Let me know please
