WE MADE AN EXPENSIVE MISTAKE on our DIY Stone House Renovation

[@taniadevilliers348]

Working so hard and remaining so pleasant, you both show such strength, character and maturity!

[@LifebyLiving]

Thanks for your words of encouragement Tania! 😊

[@davidgarrett4274]

David here,I'm so glad that you two had found each other as well as your dogs.,all of yall go so well together, it help us to believe that true love still exists out there in the world thank you so much ❤😅

[@bertiew6771]

Great work as always. Getting the tarp on just seconds before the rain shows how quickly you've both adapted to Portugal. Leaving it to the last minute and getting it done is an art very few outside of Portugal know how to master.

[@birgitriff2010]

Hi, you nice and busy people, I am looking forward to see the house finished!

[@LifebyLiving]

Thanks Bertie! It’s a skill we’re working on! 🌧 😅

[@ZeeCeeCreations]

Oh, my goodness! Hang in there sweeties! Your progress and perseverance is nothing short of astounding!

[@lillirod]

For a couple of newbies, that was some great and fast work! Just in time for the rain. It's starting to look like a house again!

[@marilouw207]

I so look forward to your videos. I just love seeing how you two work together and always have a bit of a giggle or a smile. You guys are amazing to watch. The tiny house is coming on so nicely.

[@Toqueville2023]

"Life by Living " ..excellent title

[@edithp.7213]

You’re so resourceful and clever. You must have done a ton of research to tackle this enormous job. Well done!

[@LifebyLiving]

Thanks Edith! Yes, there’s lots of researching 😅 So many new things to learn about!

[@anniemac3075]

Well done getting that lot fixed then the tarp just in time. The tiny house is going to be so sturdy, pat yourselves on the back & talking of backs give them a bit of a rest before battling on. Big hugs from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 ❤

[@garymucher4082]

Nice seeing more progress on the roof. As for the extra weight of the OSB board, I see absolutely nothing to worry about. The roof could hold easily two or more times the additional weight. Thumbs Up!

[@dominiquelafaille389]

Just in time! Congratulations on a new step completed, well done ! 🇨🇦❤️

[@GoodwillCriminalsOfDallas]

Good idea keeping the tarp handy. I don't know if it is done differently there but here in the states we cap off the bottoms of the rafters for extra strength. You can start with a full sheet or a half sheet but you never want what I call a + joint. Good call with the rafter blocks. I snap a chalk line at each 4-foot mark and set the noggins across the frames so they each have full bearing on the joint but do not need to be toe-nailed into place. I hope you did not forget the H clips that go between each row of sheets. This prevents joints that are unsupported. I don't know what your final roofing material will be but if you leave a 3-inch gap on the sheeting, it will allow you to install a ridge cap that allows for upward ventilation (i.e. smoke escaping). It will keep mold from forming on the underside of the roof.

[@margomoore4527]

Our townhomes had the roofs redone like this, with ridge caps that ventilate the attics. It’s passive so no electricity for fans needed.

[@lindabrooks8242]

I can definitely see a "home" coming to life! How exciting! Beautiful work!❤

[@sgrvtl7183]

Nice progress, just in the nick of time for the rain! You two have done an amazing job on this project~!

[@andrewrobinson7797]

While OSB 3 is ok for a mezzanine floor I would suggest using P5 T&G chipboard. Screw down and glue the joints, and glue to the joists to avoid flex and squeaks. Use PU glue and scrape the squeeze out when it's cured. Just my recommendation 😁

[@LifebyLiving]

Thanks for the tip Andrew 👍🏼 Haven't yet settled on what we're using for the floor, had just been researching around the time of ordering the roof wood

[@clionamm]

It's looking great. Will be the nicest roof in Portugal! 🙂

[@lelbub8088]

You guys are amazing, the roof changes the whole appearance of the small house, it looks so much bigger now! You guys have done all that with no broken bones or bad happenings, and no fights, at least on camera, lol!! Outstanding work, as always, you are really impressive, and your final product is just beautiful!! Love this channel !! Carry on, you brave peeps!! We will all be here watching and cheering you on!!

[@maggiemaggie195]

LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR PROGRESS EVERY WEEK, GREAT TO WATCH SUCH WORKERS WHO LOVE A LAUGH LOVE FROM MANCHESTER.

[@cherylmonopoli2896]

You two are so pleasant to watch. Your attitudes are positive and happy . Really enjoying the restoration of your tiny house.Thankyou Cheryl 🦘🦘🦘

[@klazyy641]

Nice work! Sturdy framing---and with your teamwork, you beat the rain! Roof looks might durable and I think you'll be happy with the 18 mil vs the 11 mil---just for peace of mind. Thanks for the chuckles and smiles. It makes a viewer like me in a more temperate mood for the day.

[@esmekaffen4961]

Great job you guys! The roof looks to be really sturdy and it’s lovely watching the tiny house coming together. Of course love seeing pups racing around having fun while mom and dad are working😂❤! And take care of your backs guys! Maybe a spa day or an hour with a good massage therapist - and then a day or two of rest? Thanks for another great video and have a good week❤.

[@LifebyLiving]

Ooo a spa day would be divine! Thanks Esme 😊

[@victorferreira4427]

Normally insulation is 60 or 120cm large, so if your rafters are every 62,5 cm the insulation will fit and you can also Cross The second Player of the plasterboards.

[@IsaMichas-gf6kq]

I appreciate your candor throughout this process and how you compensate for your lack of experience to get a desired result.

[@54mgtf22]

Love your work. It’s not a mistake. It’s just version 1. 👍 BTW. I’m a carpenter in Australia. Happy to answer any questions you may have. Edit: Without looking at span tables or knowing all your sizes, your roof looks strong enough.

[@deborahrowe1909]

good morning from west coast canada love watching you and the dogs you are moving along great good job

[@mariastellamelendez8670]

Good job. This house will be so beautiful when you are finished. I was so glad to see you put a tarp on the roof to protect your wood. Good Luck. Love the vids.

[@LifebyLiving]

Thank you Maria ☔️ So far the tarp is doing very well with the rain!

[@costasworldofmusicmemories5792]

Thank God for the tarp and a great way to get it up there on the roof. You guys are truly portuguese. Hope you're doing ok. Sending much love❤ from our homestead in Richmond, Va. Jim, Harriet and Yuki

[@pennypacheco3868]

Love your sweet cheerful channel ❤

[@taranscott155]

Another great effort - it's really starting to come together now. I hadn't considered the difficulties of different standard measurements. Nothing is simple... Keep it up 🙂

[@G.G.999]

Looking great and super teamwork! Construction is hard, but the reward you will daily after completion is priceless.

[@myitaliantherapyginafiore4414]

Great Job. Enjoy the week. Love watching your progress. WOW! It's incredible how positive and motivated, organized and smart you two have become building and renovating this small home. So Inspiring.... Yes really, you have inspired me along with other Portugal vloggers so much I began my own channel so when I arrive to search for Property in Dec - March I can film it. WOWZA a lot of great filming you guys do and editing. I am learning on my old home reno here in the states hoping to make decent vids by the time I hit Portugal. Keep doing what you are doing. One bit at a time, one day at a time, one weather day at a time...That Tarp raising was BRILLIANT! Hugs. Gina in Upstate New York USA moving to Portugal

[@LifebyLiving]

Thanks Gina! And good luck with your own adventure! 😊

[@amcab1625]

[@pamelawatson108]

Everything is looking wonderful!

[@Toqueville2023]

I built a pole barn decades ago so I understand how that learning curve can be nervy..I had no idea how to build trusses..An experienced carpenter friend showed me ..I happened to be out of work at the time..the middle of summer..It's a matter of not knowing what you don't know..what to learn..still you have a tremendous positive attitude..Solar power..and cordless power tools! Wonderful!

To quote my wife, "Thanks kind of impressive"!!!! Well done!!!!

[@wendybeirne8597]

Brilliant video as always. So glad you managed to get the tarp up before the rained. Can't wait to see next weeks video to see what you both get up to. 😊

[@raymonde4272]

Great progress on the roof and it looks as if you got the tarp on just in time.

[@melinayorke7462]

You two are a great team! And your roof is really coming along, I think the plasterboard was a good idea. The insulation and noise reduction should be very beneficial once you are ready to sleep in your mezzanine bedroom👍.

[@LifebyLiving]

Thank you Melina. It was a tough choice but we think/hope we’ve made the right choice!😊

[@JFK666666]

Sise-wize - also the "standards" with 80, 120, 240 - is *the* standards for hauling the full packs in trailers/semis. Everything being standardized for sure makes everything easier, from; producing, packaging, shipping and contstruction.

[@debrallewis]

Wow, great timing with the work and the tarp!

[@leslietarboxjr4287]

You two did an awesome job at roofing. That was a lot of hard work lifting all of the OSB to the roof and raising the tarp at the end. You two are like Superman and Wonder Woman. You deserve a good rest after this.

[@fritzvanorden9712]

I have full confidence in your ability to overcome all obstacles in the renovation. Your mention of the weight of the roof makes me worry that you won't be finishing the top with traditional Portuguese roofing tiles.

[@Coopsterish]

[@angelat4639]

Now that you close the roof on the inside with plasterboard you can put the insulation in between the rafters and reduce the conctruction on top of them. This should bring the weight of the whole construction down, so in total the extra weight for the plasterboart won´t be an issue.

[@LifebyLiving]

The roof isn't going to be ventilated (warm roof) so the insulation will still need to be on top of the rafters. It's also not the weight on the rafters that's the concern, it's the additional load on the structural ridge beam

[@kappa2ou3]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@LifebyLivingVentilated roof is not a warm roof but cold roof. Warm roof is when insulation goes on top of the roof ( outside) and the process is joist, OSB boards or plywood, vapour control layer , insulation, OSB or plywood boards , battens, roof felt and clay tiles.

[@LifebyLiving]

@@kappa2ou3 I think you misunderstood the comment. I said it isn't going to ventilated because it's a warm roof 👍

[@kappa2ou3]

@@LifebyLivingthe way you are doing it’s not a warm roof.

[@LifebyLiving]

@@kappa2ou3 it is a warm roof. The construction will be exactly the same as what you described

[@philbull818]

To strengthen your roof you could add some horizontal beams to tie your rafters together. In fact you are planning a mezzanine floor, which will have some cross beams to support the floor and stairs. So if the level of this floor is at or above your ring beam, you may be able to use this to tie your rafters together to provide extra support.

[@tracybush8115]

Wow, you guys are terrific. I only just found your channel two days ago and have watched all the way since the beginning so I could understand your journey. Your parents must be very proud of you both for what you've accomplished! Want to say a special "hi" to Teddy and Poppy - two very sweet dogs. Hi to you from Ontario, Canada.

[@nativetexson]

Well done. Getting the tarp on the roof was important not only to keep the interior dry, but also to keep the OSB dry since it can begin to weaken after long periods of direct exposure to water. Cheers-

[@heidihughes8806]

Oh well done you two, a brilliant job fair play!👏💟👍💖♥️💝💟💕

[@LifebyBertie]

Well done you two, amazing job!!! 18mm is fine for building roofs and way better than 12mm and with that many rafters you don't need to have concerns about weight. Another thing is that gap, there is no need for that. I have build many roof extensions in where we used 18mm multiplex boards with tongue and groove, nothing ever happened in where the boards started working. Here in the Netherlands we have 2000x600mm plasterboards among a variety of other sizes up to 3000mm. Before anything I do hope you will put a type of breathable foil over the roof. I would use Megatec foil, it's a 3-layer foil that protects from moist coming in from the outside and breathable to let damp from like cooking or showering breath out of your house. Cheers Bert

[@andymccabe6712]

Yeah.... Not sure where the OSB is gonna go if its nailed down.....!?

[@LifebyBertie]

It will go nowhere, the roof as being a wooden structure will work anyway under the Portuguese sun. And you are right, it's fully nailed down. @@andymccabe6712
