Building a ROOF with No Experience! OFF-GRID ALASKA

Рет қаралды 17,661

Ай бұрын

There are many dangers while building OFF-GRID! Sometimes my determination gets the best of me, and I push the limits too far!
It's better to slow down, and wait for a helping hand, especially in REMOTE, ALASKA.

Your lack of cussing is admirable 😂 Was like a sailor saloon around my build.

Who says you have to have a mountain to snowboard? LOL. Are you building a 12'x16' cabin with a loft? I am 76 and I gave up snowboarding 8 years ago for health reasons and I miss it. You guys are doing a good job, glad Matt is available to help out when you need it.

I spent all day yesterday looking for my tape measure and all I had to do was wait till somebody dropped theirs off of a snowboard. I was watching you try to get that beam up there and all I could think was... come on Macho Man, let's get this done! Good progress though. Mid April and the rafters are up. Gotta feel good about that.

I'm planning on doing a single slant roof cabin, like a lean-to just so I don't have to figure out the rafter math.

Do you have a framing square. It will tell you the line length of your rafters at any pitch you want.😅
