Thanks for making this video. As a metal roof contractor it will drive more DIYers to me for sure. God Bless!

You guys are part of my morning routine, drinking coffee with still one eye shut! and watching your KZfaq channel, thnx. Greetings from Eindhoven, the Netherlands

So far the house is looking good. I am glad everyone is taking time to learn new things daily. The cat always makes the cutest part of the whole show. Thank you for sharing these vlogs daily.

I have watched from the very first video and it has always amazed me how well these two work and find a way to overcome problems and they're not afraid to seek advice, and that I feel is why they will succeed, and I love how they have made it so we are right there with them

I watch several home improvement/construction/building web sites. If they go over 10 minutes I seriously conside skipping them or skipping through them. When yours is nearly 30 minutes I am dissapointed they aren't longer. Cudos to Alyssa on editing and on both of you for content. There are several KZfaqrs who criticize you for not being truly "off grid", but I think you are practical and living in the 21st century and taking advantage of all the latest technology and utilizing all the collective building information so you can to build the best home for the future. Keep up the good work and I hope you are able to keep producing these videos. I have work in conventional building with my father since I was 12, and I have learned so much from you guys and hope to continue doing so in the furure. Still hoping you upgrade your solar for a more practical use for your home, but it is expensive and you have to have a home to apply it to first to see how to scale it. Love the garden by the way. And Bugaboo too.

I have seen you both work through the toughest problems and figure them out.I was a little surprised to see you have a bit of a negative attitude on the difficulty of the project at the beginning. Not saying it's easy or am I the one hanging in a basket 30 feet in the air. Just I've seen you both attack the toughest issues and come out on top. I thought at this point you'd think rakes are a piece of cake. You guys inspire me. I appreciate the work you put into the videos. Most of all I like how you work together.

You have no idea how badly I would have liked to get my hands on this!!! 30 years sheet metal experience. Of course I am one of those guys that has tricks and hacks and gidgets and gizmos.

some times brain work is the most important work, before the work. Nice Jesse smart. i want to watch the rest of the making of that ice cream also lol

Thanks for sharing your journey. You will do it!

Great job guys I have confidence that you’ll figure it all out. Everything is looking better and better every day:)

See that is a good day! Enjoy all these days, Kids will be here sooner that you think.

As you say everything is 10x harder standing high in man lift, even brainstorming the process. Well done Jesse you got this! If I'm honest I get so distracted the view from your roof is awesome! Hope your going to fit a permanent webcam :-)

Good on you Jesse , great work mate .

Coulda taken the sprayer off that hose, and just tuck the end into the pipe, it would've held itself in there while filling the plumbing.

The cleat on the side is to stop the sheet steel vibrating in the wind, helps to keep the roof together and stop any water ingress as it's a complete seal

Love your videos. I know it is tough on you guys to film/edit and build the house, but i so enjoy the daily video's and love the bugaboo cameo's. :) keep up the great work!

I definitely would have put the cedar or whatever under the gable rake BEFORE the final rake flashing went on. Then you'd know the exact distance to set the flashing without having to screw on a load of furring strips... Oh well, too late now I guess haha

When fitting roofing screws please remember to fit them to the highest point of what you're screwing, if you can :) .. If you screw to the flatter surface at its lowest thats where most of the water goes and more prone to leakages in the future. Looking good and coming together nicely. Very enjoyable viewing thank you.

Awesome job ! Thanks for sharing!

I have faith in you all that all will workout

Add the screw to keep wind from getting under it and ripping it off the roof.

Was just going to bed, oh darn, that will have to wait.

The end of every video, "We're hungry...Pizza...ice cream. :-)"

I know you guys are busy trying to get the roof and electrical going plus film and share (please keep sharing) you both are doing an amazing job, and am rooting for you every step or foot of the way, i think once you get power to the house (mains) it will be a game changer for you both :)

I have served 2 years of my apprenticeship on a construction site with 125 houses being built and i couldn't believe how much of the products we fitted came with instructions and they where just left in the box or thrown away and when i asked why they always say because they don't help and the manufacturers all live in "perfect world" scenarios.

You should attach a patio umbrella for sun and rain. Lol home is looking good

Just the facia and top rake is good enough . Your doing right

The ice cream maker you have is a lot of fun and works well. But at the volume that you do, you really need an electric one! Get an electric one that doesn't need ice and rock salt and save yourself the mess too! Save the old one for picnics and parties. But for mass consumption, I recommend "Go Electric!" ❤🌅🌵

Two things, You want to get a 42 circuit panel for your house. That will allow you to separate things for easy trouble shooting. I've worked with electrical for 44 years so I do have an idea what is going on. Second Item there is a company that makes a clamp that will allow you to clamp 2X lumber to the standing seams on your roof. This would make installing the roof cap child's play. Also if you ever have to do roof maintenance you now would have a platform to do it on.

Cleats,hems,facia,soffet oh my. You got me totally confused and you got you an A for effort.

Use super magnets out of hard drives to hold metal together, it works well.

Love your videos!!!

I was waiting for the Caddyshack storm sequal.

Glad to see your priority in this video was ice cream. That always seems to get Jesse going!

It's looking good!

I am sure you'll work it out

Now you put me into a dilemma... is it better to start the day with coffee or ice cream? ;D

23:30 thats why you pay pros to do this kind of stuff. I used to do vinyl siding, not a pro but was paid to for it ;). People think its looks so easy and 90% is very easy hammering up full size panels its the 10% of figuring out stuff like this you pay for. Stuff thats different for each and every job.

We have had standing seam since 2011 NO fasteners in the face of the rake trim! Have not had a single piece lift.

Glad to see a cleat on the fascia side for the rake. You can always smash your rivets using two hammers. You need c-clamps and proper angle cut snips to get a nice finish. Your straights maul the metal. You can do all this solo as you get some emotional momentum. Good to see you getting to the finish details.

Are you guys going to do rain water collection?? That big roof will take care of all you water needs.

I hope someone from the roofing company is watching these vlogs .why not deliver pre hemmed roof sheets and pre holed for fixing Saving a lot of time on site.as to gable fixing details why haven't they given a small drawing with dimensions to guide fixing.do they test fit how parts work.if a real smart customer liaison is watching this ,why be seen to help would be real good pr and help resolve mistakes or oversights and a chance learn ways to improve their product.many thanks for ur vlogs.all the best

Seeing the pressurised bulbs used to seal off your pipes gave me an idea for checking your water pressure. Could you make up a tap fitting that fits your water tap with the valve mounted in it and accurately check your water pressure with a digital tyre pressur tester.

Hey, you folks ought to think about capturing the dew and condensation running off your roof. I would bet you have a great potential to save trips to town for all your water.

HI , you guys need to look at what they call a chicken ladder. It's for working on rooftops

I imagine you are done the fascia already as it seems the videos are released after the work has been done. Anyways when you use the pop rivets it is a good idea to use a flat washer on the backside. It will help make the pop rivettighter . You have to hold the flat washer against the backside while you are using the pop riveter. Cheers Jesse and Allysa ! :-)

One great error you made Jesse is saying you are concerned about something that we are not.. Are you kidding? We have a lot invested in you guys, we are totally concerned about the success of your venture. I was concerned about Alyssa putting up the blocks for the basement walls by herself. No, we are into this almost as much as you are. And when you are sitting in your recliner looking out the window, we will be rejoicing right there with you..

Ice Cream!!! FOOD GROUP!!! HAHA

some say the only thing Jessy knows how to make in the kitchen is ice cream....

Diresta ice pick would have been an excellent 3rd hand for the flashing.

I know it's too late because you've been done with this project. But reverse rivet is a very clean look and will attach your metal to the facia

You finished hat edge/eave just as I would have suggested. Don't know if it is the correct way, but it works for me. Bug-a-Boo, the cat vampire. Then again aren't all cat's night people? Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.

Theres an easier way to seperate yolks. Empty eggs in saucer one at a time. Steralize a plastic carbonated beverage bottle. Turn bottle upside down, squeeze some air out of it (with lid off), put on yolk and let bottle suck it in as you release some on side like letting air back in. Put in seperate bowls.

Great video!

Set the cleat inside the rake trim and set one end.. slide the trim up then set the other side remove the trim and the cleat will be in position to fasten properly.. put a few screws in the fascia to hold it in place... Your soffit should have been installed prior to the fascia by the way...

Good work guys....Much better idea Jesse with the screws though it would look much better with the pop rivets. In Australia, your cladding our roofing fascia is pretty much a snap lock deal and any corner or adjustment is all rivets to keep everything clean. Having said that your rivet gun is fine but when you're in a situation like you're in the finish can be compromised as you are aware. You either need both hands on the rivet gun or one hand on the job your working on and one on the gun. The compression of rivet half work and half don't. I would recommend and trust me you will not regret this to either go Milwaukee 12V Pop Rivet Tool M12BPRT0 or pneumatic especially with your capping that needs to be done. Great work to Elyssa for her multi-tasking abilities and would like to recommend WD40 or RP7 for all stickers, tags and barcodes that have to be removed from the cooking utensils..ie: The whisk Jesse was using to make ice creme with.... Previously I had watched Elyssa making jam and she was pretty keen on finding a better method for checking the temperature. I believe not just for the kitchen the list is endless that the Infrared Thermometer as a choice being a safer more reliable source. Body temperature, Automotive, Paint prep, Roof, Radiator, Fridge, Hot tub the list is endless.....Good Luck

I am a fan of Beck and the same as I emigrate to the United States

im proud of you two and boo[ANNA],,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,i get tired just watching all the effort............lol

I CAN'T REMEMBER IF YOU SAID THE RENTAL WAS WEEKLY OR MONTHLY ON THE FORKLIFT. I C E C R E A M ! ! ! THAT WAS YELLING .THIS IS JUST A SEEING THING ... HOW CHAOTIC CAN IT BE WHEN THERE IS ICE CREAM ? REALLY...AS IT MAKES ALMOST EVERYTHING BETTER.. GOD BLESS YOU KIDS

Your troubles your having with the metal, is absolutely typical! And your absolutely RIGHT, the contractors who do this for a living,, fight manufacturer so called ENGINEERING flaws all the Damm time! If they spent a week installing there crap they would fix there Flaw's!

I know you guys are finished with the roof by the time this video came out, but might you have been able to slide it on from the bottom of the roof?

Hey guys here a trick from me: To get those thin metal plates together put a washer on the backsite and then tighten the rivet ! Maybe that will work for you ??? Have fun !!!

I would say an electrical ice cream turner would work best with you. Don’t need to worry about cranking it or just plain forgetting about it. Saves you a lot of time

Little by little you are getting there. Once you have electricity to the house & your bathroom working it will take the pressure off so you can work happily on your home!

Hey guys you shouldn’t need to put any screws in the side of your facia flexible silicone will create a strong enough bond if you don’t want to use screws.

From personal experiene, I'd suggest fastening just to the roof only and punching enlarged holes for the facia. Both to prevent bucking with temperature expansion.

More I watch your videos more I love you guys, great job.

Jesse.. your killing me using your knife on that sheetmetal?!!!!!

🐝 Bee just bassed by though it was in my room 😂

Eave cladding first, near impossible to fit in the space as the wall limits it. Best no screws in the top in the pan let the adhesive do the fixing there. Along the side of the flashing is better than in the pan. Persistence is a quality you have! You will win!

I'm sure it's too late, but I am curious. With the bend the way it is, it seems like you would be able to put the trim on to the cleat with it folded out far enough for you to see fully behind the trim then once you validated that the whole run is on the cleat, fold the top up to the roof and screw it down. Did you try that?

Troopers you are!

You gave me the best laugh! TODAY is gonna be chaos? It just goes to show how our perceptions can be changed with life experience. Seems like your everyday normal is chaos (at least in this season of life) so today is just gonna be more chaotic!? It’s reassuring to know that I’m not the only one who deals with chaos every day. Keep up the good work, take time between absolute chaos to recharge your batteries and remember your sanity and marriage are more important than the house. (Course, there is a level of house doneness that will help your sanity and marriage-which seems like to be where you are now) prayers for endurance, y’all take care.

Let the Electricians Handle it, They will be way more Efficient and Fast and you should be pleased with the Result.

I would have thought when doing a pressure test you would have a straight run for a metre or so on the bend for a head static test?

Instead of screwing to the roof pop rivet with a dab of sealer under it. A lot less intrusive and you can't see them with the colour matched rivets.

What about drilling through step rake and cleat and pop rivet it ? smaller less obvious ?

60 mile winds hitting that face will move it back and forth , if you know anything about metal bending it or moving it back and forth many times weakins it and then it breaks. If you want to get 30 years out of that roof attach that cleat for support to minimize movement. Also any time you put screws in is a place it will rust and after five years it will look like shit!

Nice job

Not seen what you've ended up doing yet but the wind will drive rain up that flashing if you don't hem it with something.. maybe another line of that stuff that sticks like shit to a blanket that you put on the top edge of the trim, also needs putting on the side face.

I am sad to come to one basic conclusion, I am 70 years old, ran an electronics company for 40 years and I have to admit, I am not as smart as Jesse and have NEVER worked harder than Elyssa.

buy some needle nosed vice grips, there,s your 3rd hand Jesse, they are a roofers friend

Thanks so much for sharing your journey!

Think positive instead of constantly speaking negative. There is power in the tongue.😇

Hey Jessie Hey Allysa I'm pretty sure you guys will figure it out whatever problems you run into with that roof good video I enjoyed it

The cleat holds the sides down when the wind blows.

Pump Box needs some wheels and Handle Screw lugging that around like that going to do your back in.

I'd feel better if the eve wood on the underside was put on first then trimmed. If trim is put on first it will be a fight getting the nice woodwork underneath. Just my arm chair observation/thoughts?

.Im (not) 3nd !!! Jesse andAlyssa still rockin it

Take that sticker off your wisk you savage. lol

FYI they make a 1 1/2 fernco cap with a hose bib on it and you then hook up washing machine hose to either cold side of ash box or I leave a hose bib on cold side of rough near drain. Shark bite works good for water so you can reuse it

I would say put the cedar under the rake now but I know you sill do it the hard way. Looking good

Would it not be better to install and paint the wood boards under the eaves and then finis metal roof fascia?

It's actually pretty straight forward

Is it safe to keep your eggs like this outside of refrigeration in the U.S.?! In which country in the U.S. you're guys living in?

leave the paper on the mastic and fit everything then remove it and screw it down.

Water softener salt works fine. And it costs much less.

there are companies that make the side panels and the step rake all in one piece. That's what they did with my roof and it's pitched bought as steep as yours

but next time cap everything do an air test only that way you can find the leaks, then fill with water

You mentioned it already in a previous video and I can see in this one that you have a lot of Stink-bugs. It would be interesting to see which species it is. There is in Europe an infestation of the "The brown marmorated stink bug (BMSB), Halyomorpha halys", that we also call "punaise diabolique" in French ("diabolique" as diabolical, I think due to its shape). It came from Asia and now moved to Europe (and there is no export fee on this one). It creates, when in large number, devastation in cultures. People are asked to kill them when found in house and not return them outside. Also, they are installing traps to help reduce the populations. Not sure what it is done here in US but you may want to look at installing a couple near your garden ? entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/veg/bean/brown_marmorated_stink_bug.htm
