This Is NOT Looking Well || Wind Is Tearing My House Apart!

[@mikestubestation]

You need to cover the underside of the eaves. If the wind can hit the back of roofing sheets it will rip the tiny little screw heads through every time. If the wind is pressing the sheet against the framing you’re good. If you close up one end of the house and the wind blows in from the open end it will get out through the roof. The whole roof is at risk. Wind will win if it gets under the roofing.

[@Ana-oc5ip]

Yes, the eaves (edges of the roof are missing) that right. Oh man hopefully he reads this! Also if the roof is not protected properly then it may risk the big glass windows as well...shit!

[@bohoxplorer840]

Yeah it’s all back as awards and more wind damage will most likely occur. I get frustrated every time I watch lately

[@goserr5759]

😮😮😮

[@jackfisher3906]

I would have also added large fender washers under screws holding roof panels down to have more contact between roof panels and framing.

[@bohoxplorer840]

@Crabbing, Clamming & Boat Camping I’m not even a builder..only watched other channels ...and view with common sense and logic..I can only imagine a seasoned builders anguish...

[@RJ-er3gv]

You should complete the floor before the end walls and windows or the wind will come from under and blow out the windows and even more roof panels.

[@rosewardale159]

Bloody hell Rodrigo, im surprised your roof didnt go up like a sail !!! At least now you know how strong the winds can be and fix the roof problems NOW before you move in. Priority get more screws into those roof sheets and concentrate on covering the underside of roof, so the wind cant push the roof panels out. Hoping it didnt take anymore roof off and winds have quietened down now. Great job, keep going xxx

[@zanedavid1]

"Bloody Hell" indeed - It is a wonder.

[@shaunsworld430]

Great job as always!!!! When it comes to ordering the 3x sliding doors, make sure they have deep recesses “top and bottom” for the sliders or the they are designed for high winds…… I have known panels to pop out if the wind gets to be to much at Best Buy ones that you can retro fit a deeper strip of metal on both sides, to hold the panels in place….

[@marilynhoward4561]

You had me on pins and needles as you attempted to place your window, alone in the dark and in that dastardly wind. Thank God you recognized the dangerous conditions and stopped. I am very impressed with your work ethic Rodrigo. God bless you and stay safe.

[@dahur]

Once it gets enclosed it'll cut down on the wind loading.

[@jobethk588]

Yep.

[@GoJolli]

Tio Bobby!!!! Wow, your house is so rad!! U R Loco, Hermano, very glad you knew to finally stop and not lose the window. Someday, someone will say, “My grandfather built this house...“. Que, que bueno. 💐 “...Good Morning, Mrs. Cockadoodle-Doo...”. Too cute.

[@kerrylynnparsons7879]

That’s one pretty magnificent house you are building, Rodrigo!!! It’s going to be gorgeous!!! ⭐️❤️❤️❤️🥰👏👏👏🎶🎶🎶

[@venturingout4235]

When you get the house enclosed your roof won't take such a hit. Use more screws if it would help. Close up the door some how untill they come in. After you get the windows in on the side the wind blows in the most. It may help protect you some from the wind to do the other side. You may already know this but just incase. You work hard. I know it takes time & alot of money to build you house but it will take a beating until you get it enclosed. Saying your going to cry will not help sweetie. I will pray for you. You will get it done.

[@lucystrider728]

One of the greatest human joys and capabilities is to imagine something and then create it. It is so rewarding to see you do this! That sunrise and rainbow are epic!

[@chrispomfret8592]

Windows normally go in after you have completed the wall cladding. Otherwise your windows won’t be waterproofed correctly and the wind will break them. Look up how to seal your windows from water.

[@PS-vk1db]

You need a heavy duty full length roof cap among other things...

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Wind can be so scary. It is super dangerous. Get everything secure first, then get help getting the windows in place. The last thing you need is to get cut if the glass breaks. We want you safe!!!

[@todayisit3]

Looks amazing Rodrigo, but when you said you were going to install the windows by yourself I thought to myself...you better be careful. Take it from one who's been there and done that. Much too dangerous. Glad you had a change of mind.

[@kathyanderson1509]

The view and sunrise was beautiful. The windows will be soon. Safety first Rodrigo. Hugs

[@runninggreywolf8313]

It would be wise to pour some the special paint into a small portable container instead of carrying the entire gallon around just in case you accidentally spill it. That way you only waste a small amount. It's probably expensive.

[@lukecain8771]

Tip for doing those windows alone, clamp or screw blocks on the house frame to stop the windows falling out the other side. Its looking amazing mate well done.

[@beckydeleon8241]

Aww, I know you really wanted to get that window in, but very thankful you were wise and assessed the situation correctly. You saved your window...and yourself! ❤️

[@KMETC1116]

That wind was definitely crazy. At least most of your house did fine and you have an idea what what you need to redo. Your house looks great so far.😊

[@dream2be611]

Just be safe. We want to keep you around.

[@alangreer1142]

Great job. It's looking good. Little advice when putting windows in by yourself. Install a temporary board across the middle of the opening on the interior. This will prevent the window unit from falling through. Install 2-3 small 4" wood pieces with one screw (one each side/top). Once the unit is in place turn/twist the outer piece in front of window to hold the unit in place or to prevent unit from falling out while leveling/pluming window. Good luck! Love the sun rise shot!

[@UberAdventure]

You need flange caps on the ends of your building to help prevent the wind from ripping the panel off

[@bohoxplorer840]

Yeah he needs the floor finished and the walls and the roof flanges and trim BEFIRE ever even thinking of installing the windows 😂

[@nellylugo7414]

I have to say that already the house looks awesome.

[@MrLucas1012]

It’s 3474 meters which is over 14,000ft. I live in the USA, Colorado…. We have 54 14,000ft peaks. Here there’s a big mountain climbing culture. Here they’re called fourteeners. That’s peaks over 14,000ft. Very cool, didn’t know Panama had mountains. I like your channel better than Jordan’s channel. Keep up the good work! House looks awesome!

[@rawnature8148]

Who knew that other countries had mountains hey?

[@shirleycarter2451]

Personally I don't have any background in building but reading some comments think you ought to take heed and listern to those that know. Your doing a fantastic job 👏 and your work ethic is wonderful to watch. Xxx

[@patriciacarter4227]

That the wind is testing you here at the building stage is actually the best thing that could have happened. It is forcing you to deal with the worst case scenario now instead of putting things like the windows in and then finding out they're not reinforced enough. 🤗

[@ColetteMalette1]

Safety first Sweetie! Never feel the need to apologize. Mother Nature isn’t always on our side. You’re accomplishing so much❤ Stay safe amigo!

[@craigkibbe1506]

Yo man, just remember, when the house is closed the pressure differential will prevent the roof flex. Right now that pressure change is causing the flex. Get the house closed up and that will stop happening. ;-)

[@leonardmichaelwrinch446]

Sweet candy 🙏‼️✌🏽

[@zanedavid1]

Close the front and back of the house as quickly as possible...you have created a high-pressure zone INSIDE your house and with the right wind gust the top panels of your roof will blow off because of the pressure pushing outward. Welcome to the world of physics. Once all the windows and doors are installed be aware that when you open the sliding doors during the "windy" season the wind will blow through your house like a freight train. You´ll figure it out.

[@lindamcgilbra7311]

You are awesome to watch. I so admire your tenacity and optimism in the face of diversity. I hope your channel grows and grows. Great job!😊

[@georgeobrien282]

Rodrigo, for better weld quality. Take a cheap retract pen. unscrew it and drill out the tip end slightly larger than the welding rod. Slide it over the welding rod near the weld end and use two hands and steer with you steady hand with one finger around the pen tip near the weld. when you start a new rod, your hand is over a foot away, this way, you have steering control on the weld 2 inches away from weld.

[@rosearnold204]

I totally love your overhauls ❤️❤️❤️

[@maryhart637]

Wild wind!! Better to be patient than to regret! The rainbow, the sunrise on the mountain and the sunset are so magnificent!🌈💛💜 You truly live in a beautiful place!😍 Stay safe, don't blow away, be well and see ya next time👋👋👋👋

[@priscillachapman9145]

Take care. Don’t try to do windows by yourself in this wind. Wait or at least have another person helping.

[@stacybroussard3097]

Rodrigo!! You are doing such an Amazing job on your home! I'm so glad that you listened to your Intuition/ Guy feeling about the wind when you were trying to put your window in! You need to Protect yourself FIRST AND ALWAYS.... THE HOUSE COMES SECOND TO YOU MY FRIEND ❤️ Those Winds are NOTHING TO MESS WITH!!! VERY DANGEROUS, RODRIGO.... TAKE CARE OF YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS/ WORKERS FIRST!! Your doing Amazing, just give it time my friend ♥️ Work when it's SAFE, WE WILL BE HERE FOR YOU 🙏❤️🙏❤️

[@johntatum1951]

Hi Rodman, Chicks, goats, and MooMoo do not eat the same food....:( You and Jordan need to get the proper grain for each. This is just a good suggestion from you Texas ESL teacher. I like your farmer outfit...the overalls seem appropriate. Hope your future house will survive the high winds. God bless! I know you guys have enough money for quality animal food. Good thing you have good grass..ha!

[@rons3236]

Great job Rodrigo! We can wait and be a little bit patient for the window install. Mother Nature will smile upon you tomorrow and the wind will subside enough for you to continue. Sending you love and light.

[@theresewheeler1498]

Wow the view is astonishing ..you are so lucky to see all the beautiful nature You go go .. thank you for sharing Looking forward to another nice video And thank you for sharing your living in the farm . Peace out

[@juliebugiyne4121]

Looks great, that wind is crazy! You are making great progress.

[@GenXHeart]

Wait! There's welding going on and Kaylee's not trading some chores for welding time?! LOL! Is she OK? Rodrigo, I am so incredibly happy for you and excited to see your house when it's finished! Thank you so much for making these videos - they are Chef's Kiss! Perfection!

[@smtpublishing]

i know it seems frustrating, waiting on weather conditions to get things done, but you are killing it, and I can't wait to see the finished home when it's all said and done! Good luck my friend!

[@sandyramkarran6936]

Rodrigo you remind me of my oldest son you go I can wait to see the finish project👍❤️

[@mentalneil]

Man you need to put the ply board down, do it for 2 reasons, 1 it will give you a decent floor to walk around on, 2 it will help reduce the amount of wind getting under the roof panels. And you need to cover the eves with board as well to prevent wind getting to the back of the roof panels and ripping them off, leaving holes where the screws were,

[@linalitafarm]

Have you considered adding some canals to your roof to collect rainwater? It looks like you have plenty of room in the back of the house to add several tanks and the height should not be a problem. Given the design of the house, you should be able to collect a substantial amount of rainwater.

[@jobethk588]

Hope you make it safely through windy season.

[@je9833]

The wind is actually a good test to see how strong your house is…❤ ✌️

[@divekatdreaming]

Rodrigo, You don't need to cut out studs that are not vertically level. Your studs don't need to be perfectly plumb. As long as your floor is level and your walls are plumb, and your studs are about right, you will be ok. Those were not taking the load of the weight of the house. When you go to attach the walls, if the stud is not where you thought it was, you just try a little to the side and find the stud there. Your house is already level. You should probably use the aluminum studs. They would be cheaper than C channels you are using, and you don't have to weld everything. Those would not be load bearing walls, so you don't have to worry about the strength, but when the aluminum studs are stood vertically, they are strong enough in a wall. Don't make it harder and more expensive. Plus, running wires and plumbing through those C-channels is going to be so hard! Plus, think about how much extra weight you are adding to the framing of your house, which may not be engineered for that. Don't create extra work and headaches for yourself. Those windows will be so pretty! It was smart to wait for a better opportunity to put them in, though.

[@joannalujan2250]

Thank you for retreating your plans. I was getting real nervous watching you trying to install your window in the dark and with high winds and by yourself. I'm so glad you called it. I so appreciate that you're safe and you're window is in one piece. We can wait until your next video. YAY!

[@roe2684]

Try fixing flat metal rods horizontally on the top,middle and bottom of each roof panel to re-enforced them.

[@hybridranch]

Good morning. I have never texted you, but I enjoy watching your progress. I have a personal favorite question. I was hoping one of these days when your enjoying 20 min of wonderfu,l that you film it and put it to some relaxing music that you enjoy. Dont give up!.. Wind is crazy, but you got this! Go enjoy the rainbows. Luv u dude.

[@jeannerountree952]

You have learned so many skills so that when you get setbacks you get back out there and fix it.

[@anneyday3493]

It is super windy here in Oklahoma too. Recently 72 kph! Sorry you have damage. Don't give up. Keep going. It is going to be a great house some day!

[@bethlynndavisreynolds1725]

Sorry about the roof panel, hope you can find a good fix so it dosent' happen again, but thinking about the start where all there were holes in the ground to almost every bit of the framing done I'm blown away at your progress. Keep it up you are crushing it

[@N-A-uw5fp]

You look adorable in your overalls and flannel shirt! How great you have viewers giving you advice. You’re not alone on this project! 😊

[@howbigisyourlove]

I would use an nsulated spray foam on the interior of the building so that it provides adherence and density and make sure that at the joins in mid section you use a moving adhesive between the panels .. when air can catch under the wind can be really damaging .. take this from a gal with an 1854 GRIST MILL with a very long salt box roof ..luv your channel kid

[@bohoxplorer840]

I adore you Rodrigo..but I’m going crazy watching you build this house. Floor needs to be finished then the wall and roof if you don’t have a strong base with the roof supported by the walls and roof trim attached to the walls you are gonna get more damaged to the roof panels. Putting the windows in now they could get broken as the support and strength of the walls is not there. Plus the movement due to the roof not being g finished either could make the windows break. I wish you all the luck.. and pray you don’t fall thru that unfinished floor and get hurt or your windows get all broken up.❤

[@leighanncronin6905]

Your house is really coming together!! It's been so satisfying to watch the progress 🥰

[@tesswilkinson7742]

Did you use roofing screws? They look to be just normal screws. That would be one of the reasons the roofing metal rips off with the wind. Even with the crazy winds, the right screws will hold it down.

[@meethealthy_lori7548]

You don’t have to apologize. We are patient. We love your journey ❤

[@jobethk588]

What a wind tunnel your beautiful house is until it's closed in. I'm certain y'all will check that water source for bacteria, etc. It could be downhill from someone's outhouse. It's the mom in me that has to say unnecessary things to intelligent adults. Smile.

[@EvaAliceD]

[@cindyholt3808]

[@debbies230]

Wow it's really taking shape Rodrigo. You were wise to not continue with the window though in that wind. You have grown so much since you started this channel and I feel privileged to have been here since the beginning. God bless you from my soul to yours 🙏❤️

[@jeannemarcinek4575]

The good Lord is telling you not to mess with mother nature's wind, because it will win. On the bottom of the roof panels need closing to prevent losing your roof panels. Congratulations on building your A-Frame house for I live in an A-Frame cabin. I am watching how you do it and it gives me ideas on how I can improve my cabin. So I will pray that you can get the windows in without any breakage and the rainbow was so awesome.

[@tarastarshine]

Yes, I read some comments about the roof, but I also remember the rainy season was the need for the roof! BUT I am also aware of the floors and Other things needed inside; make sure you have a big enough door to carry your fridge and stove in! I think you have a sliding glass door coming right? Bravo! Bravo for even wanting AND trying to build YOUr own House!! XO

You have done such an amazing job, don’t be so hard on yourself. You did pretty much most of it on your own with a little help from some of your frieamily. Take a minute to take a breath and take in all you have done. When the time is right you will get more done.

With both ends of your house open, the floor open to the elements. It's going to be very hard to control the extra forces pushing n pulling on your tin. Need to finish the shell completely before doing the interior of your house.
