We bought the same solar equipment, ran across your video afterwards and have been watching since. Enjoying the building!

Good job! Can't wait to see how you choose to do the rake soffit framing. Guess I'll have to tune in next week.

I had a similar "defect" on my 6000EX. The display panel wasn't working correctly, I was told they couldn't get a replacement part and would have to replace the entire unit or... upgrade to the XP for $700... which of course I did. (And an SO much happier) I think they are def phasing out the ol' yellers in favor of the XP line of products. I suspect tech support labor on the old versions is getting costly to S.S. hence all the upgrades. Sounds like they've already got you dialed in for a free upgrade on the 6000 XP's curious why you chose two of those rather than just an 18K XP. I'm guessing because the price was right. 😉 Watching you go through the antiquated programing and firmware upgrade process triggered triggered my ptsd, I will NOT miss that! Plus you'll LOVE the new monitoring software. The app is ok by the desktop version is 1000 times better. Enjoy!

I have watched your channel for a while and love your positive attitude. Some things may challenge you folks but you continue to make progress on your home build. Justin, the templates sure save you much time. Keep on making good progress and blessings to you all.

Loved the video. Look forward to it each week. Roof is starting to look good and now should move faster. Love you guys.

Planning and forethought makes everything work correctly. Also, you have to have patience and not get in a rush. God bless your family and the work of your hands. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Any plans for Solar and/or Wind power / generator? Also any plans for a Green House, aquapondics, hidyopoptics (Ie. Fish / water farming)

What pitch / slope is the Roof line for this build? Is there a minimum roof slope / pitch for your area of the country?

Lifting the boards with the tractor is a great idea. May I suggest temporarily attaching two 2x4s with screws that stick out away from the house at the top so that you can put the boards between them. Yuo can space them apart 4 feet or so. This can stop them from falling left or right when you lift them up. It might help speed up the process a little. Great video!

I think your channel is great and your doing a quality job. Your house is looking great.

That should have been J&K Carpentry Bros. The comment I made earlier was the wrong name. 😏

For the rain you get you should make a 24” eave. Keep the rain off the side of the house. 😊

Well done keep it up my friends 😊

So you're not building a two story house.

I haven't seen one of those ants in years! 😮14:49

Enjoyed the video. Thanks for sharing

good work. 💪

How disappointing I thought with as big as your family is I thought for sure we would see you build a second floor

What’s the reason you didn’t just use roof trusses? Given the pitch, they would have been pretty managable.

Great Video!! Glad y'all made It threw the storm!!! Smart idea to help you set in ridge beams!! With all the rain much more to come in your future, I would think you put down a seal on the flooring to prevent early stages of sagging or rotting. (Seen that happening in my nieces home). Y'all take care, hope and Pray y'all will have better weeks ahead.

looks good

music is to loud

You guys are great. It’s a lot of fun to watch.

🇳🇴👍👍🥇

Thanks for sharing

Well least you do get some sunshine eventually, we are in early Spring here in NZ and we have nothing but rain

Coming together nicely, love the easy going nature of you 2, such hard work with all the little ones and another on the way, hats off to you all.

The surrounding view is killing me , it’s amazing, ❤

Keep up the good work Sailor.

Slow makes fast 🐰

Who knew you needed to pay attention in geometry class 😅. Who needs a buddy when you have clamps? 😂. Been working on a deck replacement project. My son has been helping on/off. When not there to help...lots of clamps being substituted.

Ah, more fodder for Mount Stumpenjaro.

One thing that suddenly caught my mind, about trees, and if you cut their neighbors. When trees grow, they build strength to handle the conditions they experience. If you cut trees close to them, they can get more exposed to wind, and if the conditions change too much, there's a risk of them falling. I remember 15-20 years ago, the electric grid authorities changed their guidelines for free distance on each side of power lines, and widened by 0.5-1m ((~2-3 ft) on each side. The following year there were a significant increase in blackout, because previously protected trees, suddenly couldn't handle the increased stress, an fell on the power lines. After a year, it was more or less back to normal. Just thought it might be something to think about, if you decide to cut down trees close to your house, that they were possibly protecting their neighbors than can become more vulnerable and fall no your house, if you are unlucky.

Hey folks, hope you're all doing well. Glad you made it through the weather ok, sorry to hear not everyone in the area did. Great start to the roof, the time to get your templates right was for sure well spent and looks like it "should" go pretty smoothly (no doubt famous last words right there!). It's good to see that your nemesis nail gun is now behaving itself properly with other brand nails and after your previous good clean out, got to be way less frustrating! Fingers crossed that the coming week goes as planned and that you don't get hit with another storm. Stay safe all.

Hey Justin and Lilly, are you going to take some trees down around your house to create a barrier in case there’s a fire?

Great job ! Hope ur using pressure treated wood fastners or they'll just away ! Been there.

Great job!

Doing the roof work by yourself seems so daunting but, you figured out a way to make it work. You guys are awesome and hard workers. Have a great week.

Wow! 4/12 pitch? That is a very low pitch roof! I thought you'd go steeper to shed the water and to allow you to use the second floor space in the future. Huh. Nice use of jigs and such! I was surprised by the ridge beam and no collar tie truss assemblies. No joist hangars to make putting the rafter up easier? I wonder if you are going with a metal roof? The outtakes are cute!

Can't ever have too many tools!! ( and ladders!!) Oscillating tool really comes in handy!! Hope the roof goes well!! Best of luck!!

Hello how are you 👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Brother and sister, glad you weathered Debby and back to work. Yes,the tractor can be an asset and you have it so use it. Yes those 2x10 are heavy. Just hope you get it dried in before the next storm. I have DeWalt tools also but no nailer just a hammer. Keep up with the liquids going in and be safe. God bless your family.

What state are y'all in

✌💓💓🤗

Couple months ago I said I was impressed with how you used the pulley system for walls and said I’d of done the same. When I asked about your plan for rafters you said, just wait that you had an idea. Well color me impressed because can see your concept now. I would have done them complete and lifted up. Much harder. Can teach an old dog new tricks. Like your idea, like the safety of it. Well done.

Mosquitoes are attracted to lotions and soaps...

The way Justin and lily Do their housework and building from raw land is pretty cool
