update on the roof

[@PeterSantenello]

Awesome to see you making videos Jerry! Thanks for the update.

[@theroguespointpirate7447]

thanks peter im going to try and post every week now if possible my upload speed is killing me lol

[@lpe655]

Awesome. I'm here bc of Peter and Love watching construction projects. Watching a GoFundMe actually be used for its intended purpose is double the enjoyment. Thanks to everyone who played a part in making this happen!!

[@lpe655]

Also, I'm grateful your friends and you are able to do the work yourselves to maximize the GoFundMe money.

[@andy-incognito]

You have to return when its done. Maybe do some fishing/Crabbing Next time :)

⁠​⁠@@theroguespointpirate7447I’ve heard that the latest model of StarLink’s upload speed is pretty fast. I’m thinking about switching to StarLink myself, because it links directly to a satellite from anywhere in the world (even a boat), and it will work during a hurricane when all other communications are down. Thank you for sharing your wonderful treasure trove of arrowheads and historical artifacts with us. My Dad told me he used to find Lenni Lenape arrowheads around his childhood home in NJ. I can’t imagine the thrill of finding and holding a piece of history like that in the palm of my hand. You’ve unearthed a truly amazing collection of buried treasure!!😊🏴‍☠️

[@guardianofthehill]

All those beautiful historic artifacts! Jerry, as a fellow history buff, I commend you for gathering them and saving them from being lost to time. You're doing future generations a great service! (Also, greetings from Germany!)

[@claytonkeates2614]

Protect Jerry from the pirates, cause he's a treasure.

[@truepatriot1974]

Jerry, when you get that house fixed, you gotta start a mini-museum for the Smith Island Republic. Good luck sir and my condolences to the family for their recent tragedy. 🙏

[@kimberlyhawkins]

And an Airbnb!!!!!! I’d stay there right now! Eating crabs and oysters all the day long!!!

I'm here from Peters video and just subscribed. Watching from Iceland 🇮🇸. I'm an archaeologist and absolutely love seeing all of these artefacts that you have, and listening to your retelling of history ❤ can't wait for more updates

You’re a great man and father Jerry, god bless you sir. Sending love from Arizona!

[@Jim1Tom]

Jerry glad to see your getting the house back together. Your collection of artifacts is remarkable! Can hardly wait for an update on your roof...

[@lpe655]

You and I both. I huge bonus is, Jerry and his friends are doing the work themselves so the GoFundMe money will go twice as far. That's huge especially with material cost nowadays. I can't imagine what it cost once it gets out to the island. It's $2.75 per foot for metal roofing in Upstate NY. 40 years warranty. If you could provide material pricing in ur videos that would be so cool for us super KZbin construction project needs.

[@livingsonshine]

I loved watching your video with Peter! I live in Sykesville Maryland and I really enjoyed learning about our local history. Cheers!

People are able to send physical donated orders to anywhere. Is there anything on your island the community could use to purchase from your store that is usually something you fall short on and could use? If so, what is the address to your post office that the viewers can send donations to? These would be gifts to your community.

[@marianbrinley4389]

Check on Peter Santenello video where he did the visit with Jerry, plus you could just send to Jerry, postmaster with the island name state and zip code. Everybody knows who Jerry is, the postmaster would get it to him! Good luck!

[@Thesantanders]

Great idea!!! I'd love to send stuff.

[@sadawski]

You are a national treasure, thank you for sharing with us ❤😊 hope to come and visit one day!

[@Thesantanders]

Hi Jerry! Your roof looks hard to do because it's so high. I'm so glad you got the donations you need for your roof. I had to pay 14,000 for mine and took a personal loan for it. The guys who did it weren't very good at it. I still owe about $8,000 on it but that's how it is here in Florida. We have to take loans for everything. I'm excited to see you get the new roof!!! What a blessing. 🎉🎉

[@theroguespointpirate7447]

@@Thesantanders yeah they wanted double that for mine and really I had no intention of anyone doing it but me this just makes it possible now much quicker, I used to work for pennusula roofing and Shore sheet metal about 25 years ago and I used to do carpentry around the island here

Hi Jerry!! I live here on the Eastern Shore and when our boys were younger, we stayed on Tangier for a week and loved it! Now, I wish we had taken them to Smith Island, as well! They are both crazy history buffs and boy, would they have LOVED listening and talking to you! I am so glad your video with Pete Santenello popped up on my feed and I found your channel.

Thank you very much Jerry. Awesome collection. Some of the items were out of focus when they were really close to the camera and was hard to see the detail. That new imagine stabilized camera looked great other than that. Just wanted to share. Thank you and I hope to run into you someday out on the water 😊

In the old days people wrote in slates like mini blackboards. They did math in school or they would hang them outside restaurants with the menu. They came in a wooden frame of course. But you're a history buff so you probably know all of that. The original Tablet PC eh? Hahaha

[@OfficialWrannProductions]

You’ve got an amazing collection of artifacts, Jerry! Your historical knowledge is beyond admirable. If I remember correctly, you mentioned you’d recovered some old French coins in the video you did with Peter Santanello. If you still have them, is it possible that you could display the coins in a future video? As someone with a love for historic currency, I’d greatly appreciate it. Best of luck with the roof and thanks for the update!

Would it be easier to tear down & rebuild? Thinking about black mold on inside.

[@kylejessica6208]

Might be a good time to raise the foundation a foot or more. There’s 50 or 100 year flood predictions from I believe it’s the army core of engineers and you can raise to above that and should be good for a long time. I believe that area it’s about 6-7 feet above sea level at high tide.
