    This video is a race against the weather. We have a limited time until the rain is supposed to hit hard and need to install the roof on my small timber frame off-grid cabin. The material we used is Larch and will actually be the finished interior ceiling and soffit. We will be adding insulation and a metal roof to this in the near future. Thanks for following the journey!

    I got inspired by what you are doing so I bought 50 acres and built my own cabin. two ponds a natural spring and lots of land to build a homestead on. keep doing what you do you are inspiring us all to get moving and start building.

    You'd do well to make yourself a temporary floating dock that rises and falls with the water level. We used plastic pallets for decking and a few of those blue rain barrels filled with 2L pop bottles with caps screwed down tight. Allow about 1/3 of the barrels to fill with water and they stay bottom heavy but very buoyant. Casual puncture of the barrels don't sink the whole dock, either since the pop bottles are the main ballast. We zip tied the pallets together and used metal strapping for the barrels and to reinforce the zip ties. Made a quick, durable dock that lasted until we could build a proper one.

    Another good trick for t&g boards is to set the board and lift the nailing edge off the surface and drive a nail. Works best when hand bombing nails. Predrill and start the nail. When you lift the nailing edge and drive the nail home it sucks the bow in and tightens the gap pretty well.

    We LOVE your page!!!! We have less than 7 months to complete the tear down of the old 1840’s home place along with its companion barn, get them packed up and shipped out to Montana to begin the up-cycled♻️, off grid cabin build! We can’t thank you enough for all of the awesome ideas and fantastic content here on your RUclips page- we can’t wait to incorporate some of these ideas into our upcoming build! There is nothing more magical than building a new to us home to live in that was once lived in and loved by someone else so long ago! If those walls could talk! Thanks again for being such an amazing inspiration- April and Jeff

    Beautiful work as always. I'm sure you know the chisel trick of pounding the tip of the chisel into the rafter at a slight outward angle and then prying it back against the decking boards to drive a bow out and tighten up the T and G joint. This eliminates the spring back on stubborn boards. Keep up the sharing and the great work.

    Do you think you could make a video explaining how you prepped for the build? Did you pre cut all the material? Did you dry fit everything before transporting it? 3d model? What was your process? Sorry to bombard you with questions, it's just extremely impressive what you've managed to build without a proper shop on location. Thanks.

    There can also be a problem if you got well dried tongue and groove and use it outdoors. They swell and start warping at the seam if you have too much space between studs. If you use thinner material, consider a tighter stud spacing than you would usually do.

    Great job. Love the roof design. And you achieve so much in a day. One thing that scared me was at 9:56 with the makita 18V circular saw. Your left hand so close to the cut. May I suggest laying the plank on the supports and keep your hand to tousle your kids’ hair.

    All that beautiful wood and just roofing tar paper? I hope the finished roof goes on before the week is up. A heavy duty (30lb.) equivalent roof wrap would get you through 6 months and still be in great shape if you couldn't get it roofed right away. I can foresee a couple of chairs up there on the roof during nice days, great view.
