Like someone said before, these 2x4 are going to trap water. Its why you need a vertical layer underneath these horisontal ones.

The guys who constructed the roof were very professional and beautiful, with full layers of soundproofing, insulation and waterproofing

Taking your time and doing things right and doing them safely is always better than rushing things. Well done, Graeme! Merry Christmas and all the best for 2024!

Cherish this time with your Dad. I miss mine more than I could have ever imagined.

Dad needs a raise 💪🏻💪🏻

So glad you got some help. Last episode was a white knuckler.

Nothing could make your Dad happier than work with you. When my son is around working on whatever they are the happiest days of my life. I miss my Dad everyday.

im onto you.... all sketchy actions were jump cut edited out. bravo sir, bravo! I know 45 is a steep roof but you couldnt really tell til you saw it from the far away front shot. no wonder you about ate it a few times! - bob, your uncle!

The progress is what is impressive. From uncleared land to what you have now, awesome! Your work ethic is inspirational man, keep it up!

'You think we need a pulley?' Lol i guess not then. Nice to see you working with your dad! :)

It's really cool that you were able to have your Dad there to help you! Merry Christmas to you and your family!

Seeing your interactions with duke makes me think it might almost be worth covering the sides and under area with some metal mesh. It’ll be super easy to staple it on so it is underneath the siding

🖐🎅👍 Merry Christmas folks! 🎄🎄🎄

Grant, I love watching your carpentry skills progress thru each video. Your attitude is awesome. I do think the brace you added to the underside should be a little more steep. All the way to the dirt (not in it) and all the way under the floor.

Lovely to see Poppa Oldgrowth as your hands / cut man. I did kinda expect a jaunty penny whistle Christmas ditty for the outro from Momma Oldgrowth. Merry Christmas to Mrs. Woodness and the Saplings!

All the things that could of hurt you whilst building the cabin and you nearly get taking out by a Milwaukee pack out box 😂 great work as always 👍 hope you and your family have a wonderful Christmas.

Merry Christmas bud ⛄️🍻

Thanks for your entertaining content, humor, inspiration and goodness!

Enjoying this build,still no snow Merry Christmas ✌️😎

Great to see your Dad there with you, coming along real nice, Merry Christmas to you all!

The random “Yaaa baby” always cracks me up!!! Have a Merry Christmas with your family and a happy new year!!!

That was awesome, telling your dad if it was perfect you'd kick him off the site. We can't have any professionalism around here!

Another awesome update! Thanks for the great content in 2023 and wishing you and your family all the best in 2024 :) nice you had some good help and got to spend quality time with your father. Merry Christmas, happy holidays and cheers to a prosperous new year!

Time to get after it

Looking good!

I'm excited for you're progress seeing all thats being done 👍 🙌 ☺️

Have a great Christmas Graham and thanks for another year of entertainment. 🎉

Good old fashioned common sense overcomes lack of building practices, You have that and what you lack in building practices you more than have in common sense. Great work and i admire your workmanship. To be young again and take on a project like this but you more than fulfill my dreams through you👍

Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄

Merry Christmas to you and the Grahamettes! All the best to you this holiday season and in the new year 😁

Great content as per Woodness Goodness usual, awsome manners towards your Dad great to see Merry Christmas to you and all your extended family.

Hey its good to see you again! 😉 I'm glad you were able to find someone to help you out. It's better to be safe than sorry. You're fortunate to have a father who is strong and healthy enough to help you build your dream cabin. What better way to finish the roof than to spend quality time with your dad making memories to last a lifetime. The sooner you get that roof on and some windows in the better off you'll be especially with winter coming. You can work on the inside anytime. I love your view and can't wait to see your cabin when it's done. . You have a beautiful family and you'll be making memories to last a lifetime. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to you and your family 🎄 ❤

Keep aiming high. Merry Christmas.

How is Duky ? Merry Christmas and a happy new year !

🎄🎁Graham you almost have the roof on, wont be long now, it was nice to see you had some help with some of the heavy lifting this time. I wish you and your family a🎄🎁 Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year🎄🎁take care and stay safe and healthy through out the holidays and God bless ❤💙😇🎄🎁

This was so much less sketchy than the last roof video 😂

The greatest of Canadian imports right there. Crowns got nothin on him!

Merry Christmas to you Liz & the girls Graeme, hope you spend some quality time with Mum & Dad Goodness their pretty bloody awesome in my eyes. 🎄 Shell🇦🇺

Holy Woodness Dadsavedthedayness baby!!!! Glad to see your staying safe and having some help. The only thing you’re missing is your architect approval. It is looking really really good brother and I can’t wait to see what you do next. Thanks for keeping us entertained and getting after it. Have a great Christmas Big G.

Lol. You are hilarious 😆😅. Daddy was imported.

Not very 45ish on the underneath cabin brace degree wise. I would've installed a lower horizontal rail just above the ground and and installed several braces between the bottom rail and the bottom of the cabin,each at a 45 degree angle to give it the structure the ultimate strength. Several years ago I used 45 degree braces on a antenna tower that I welded together out of 3/4&1/2 inch rigid electrical conduit for extreme strength but with just a minimal amount of flex. That's what I'd do if it's my cabin build.

I have three safety harness systems. Like new. Yours for the asking if want. I live in Northern VA near Winchester. Could drop off after the holidays. Let me know.

Merry Woodness Christmas! 🎄

I don't think you should be on that roof by yourself. Good to see your Dad there to help. Thanks for sharing

I'm new to your channel. Great videos and I really love your goofiness.🤣

Merry Christmas friend!!! Our cabin build isn't even that far along. We are up to the point of framing the walls. Plan to frame them in sections over the winter and then take them down in the spring!! Be safe on that roof, you almost had a bad mishap

Christmas present goodness algorithm

Just a tip. I work on roofs everyday. Looks like you have workboots on. Running shoes are much better. They let you feet bend better. Great work so far.

Really like your content. The cabins come'in along great. Happy Holidays. Oh and was watching a movie the other day called monsters had to do a double take. The actor in it, Scott McNairy. Lol are you guy's brother's? Lol

Looking great! Curious about water dam also but shouldn't be that much water I wouldn't think. We have had good weather here also. Hopefully it holds out a little while til I get my place dried in. 😂

Not trying to be a Christmas party pooper, but those 2x4 sleepers will act as moisture dams which is why they're typically installed on a diagonal. Looks like a 12/12 pitch so you're probably more concerned with them as steps during construction anyway. Anyhoo, Merry Xmas!

As a couple of people have mentioned. If there is moisture between the metal and the water barrier. I would be concerned abot the strapping would prevent the moisture from draining. Maybe after using them as footing the should be nailed to vertical straping to keep them off the flat sheeting to let moisture drin straight down.

I didn't realize I didn't like heights until I stepped onto the roof of my house. That might be more of a fear of falling though.

Your overhangs need to be supported underneath, you need to build "ladders"

Should look into getting an extra mic for your dad when he’s helping.

Go take 2 weeks vacation and visit the Perkins brothers after that everything will be a piece of cake for you 😂

🤝

Merry Christmas! Now....go to the store and spend the 100 dollars on a safety bucket so you can tie off while on the roof. I want to watch you build more things and construction can get tough from a wheelchair.

Hey Graham Won’t your strapping stop moisture from draining away?

what will support the added rafters at the ridge?

i would have thought you would put the 2x4 the opposite way. Like you said, condensation will happen on the underside of the sheet metal, so it will drip on to the paper. But now the water has no where to go but sit on the top edge of the 2x4, which will probably rot in time. am i wrong?

👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Maybe should’ve had counter battens under the 2 by 4 strapping to actually allow the air to flow all the way up. If you carry on like this there isn’t a flow of air

--- I'm late to the party, but why is there such a large, unsupported overhang of the plywood sheathing at the gable ends ?

There's a reason you see roofers wearing fall arresting harnesses. You ought to at least have a rope tied to the roof crest and hooked to your belt man. You're freakin us all out.

We all need semi-professional amateurs to help out.

o/ from BC...

Get a harness,,,strap in,,,falling is no fun,,,,,,,,trusting a 2x4 isn’t smart..I walk with a cane because I fell off a six foot stepladder..

Hey brother just checking can I send you an email
