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!

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!

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.
@DIY_or_DIE22 сағат бұрын
That is a very good point! All the trees around us are very young and healthy still. We cut down any dead or unhealthy trees. We will keep an eye on them as they grow and remove them as necessary

@@DIY_or_DIE I don't know anything about the trees on your property, like how they stretch their roots. We had a few trees falling on our property within the last year, and all of them seemed healthy, but their roots were pulled out when they fell.
@DIY_or_DIE20 сағат бұрын
Well, our pine trees have huge tap roots that go at least 6-8 feet down in the ground. It is very rare for a pine tree to be uprooted and fall over. For that to happen it needs to be rotted out at the base of the tree. More likely for the top of the tree to break off or branches to fall.

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.

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!
@DIY_or_DIE22 сағат бұрын
Yes, 4/12 was for me to keep the rafter length to manageable size and keep the framing as simple as possible. Didn't want to do trusses because I would have needed a crane to lift them. This method is nice because it is manageable for me to do by myself one piece at a time! Yes we are planning to do metal roof.

Much harder. Can teach an old dog new tricks. Like your idea, like the safety of it. Well done.
