    Y'all and HH are two of my favorite younger families to follow and learn from no matter how old I am (could be your parent!) Down to earth, no drama, just natural living and working.... sowing and building. Really see the changes that are making it more and more of your own like you did on the first property...so encouraging!

    Jason, I just want to say that you and your family (including the in-laws), have become one of my favorite youtube channels. You are definitely in my Top 3. I can not choose which is number 1. Today, you had me feeling like a mother hen with you on that roof and all the potential for accidents. Please be safe. You're still young. But, you aren't getting any younger. Weird, crazy and never imagined injuries came after the age of 50 for me. Thinking I could do what I use to do and take chances my mind would try and talk me out of. Don't let that happen to you. Aren't you about 45? I'm 57. Start practicing being careful NOW. LOL There was a moment in this video where I gasped! First time. Please be careful!!! Love y'all.

      I hear you on that. For me, more like 60's, but weirdest incidents ever and I ended up in the hospital! Jason, Lorraine, and Penelope are a great, great family. All that rusty metal was making me cringe. One slip, eek!💞

  • @sugarmanfarm
    @sugarmanfarm 4 месяца назад +18

    Look into GACO silicone coating. After trying to seal my metal roofs for thirty years without success I'm going into my fourth year without a leak and no sign of deterioration. Nothing stick to it, debris blows or washes off. My roofs are more than 50 years old. Comes in colors. Said to last 50 years. Not the cheapest product but it does work. I even covered some areas that were rusted to the point of small nail size holes, no leaks or separating. Easy to install. Your roof would be a piece of cake. Just powerwash it, fill larger gaps with silicon filler and roll it or brush it on.
    Never saw a roof that you could just tear with your bare hands!!
    Enjoy your podcast with Al and Ben

    • @faithrada
      @faithrada 4 месяца назад +3

      We used the GACO silicone sealer on our metal porch roof.. pricey stuff.. thick, and a challenge to apply BUT MAN... Not one leak in years. If applied correctly it lasts an insane amount of time.

  • @theElderberryFarmer
    @theElderberryFarmer 4 месяца назад +42

    You definitely do NOT have a junkyard, Jason - you have a boneyard. That's where good stuff that is not needed right now goes to wait until it's needed again. We all have boneyards. They take work and care to keep the good stuff good until you need to put it back into use.
    Take care and God Bless.

    Also another thing to ask for ( I do lol) are the cover sheets of roofing. When the roofing is shipped to the hardware store they have an extra sheet... Usually perfectly fine but may have a scratch in the paint colour. It still works great. They usually sell them a lot cheaper.

    In the distant past, when my buddies and I were all obsessed with the newest computer hardware, (and before the craze for tricked out lighted cases) I would buy all the components at the high end of the sweet spot of the supply and demand curve. But I would buy the cheapest case I could. I referred to such cases as the "hand cutter special" at Frys. Its a totally different realm of work and effort but that roof is giving "hand cutter special" flashbacks.

    Easy gutters for someone who haunts construction sites, 4 to 6" white plastic pipe. Just cut 2 slits it down the center, and you have free gutters that are easily replaced at a later date when you redo the roof.

    Jason you are excellent in all you do. It is great to see you taking care of your home. I know it takes lots of money for everything, luckily you are very handy and able to do things. If I was you, I replace that roof a few layers at the time. It is more feasible money wise and physically by the time you realize it it's all done. good luck blessings to you and your family.

    We have a 30x180' old hen house from the 1960's that used to have 5000 laying hens in it. The roof is not fun to go up on to repair but it is doable. The metal roofing is a lot heavier than yours, though looks like the same type of nails here as yours. Winds here have taken a few panels off over the years but no damage yet. Keep up the good work. :)

    @watsonthumb4997 4 месяца назад

    if you use a block like a piece of 1x4 or 2x4 to lever the flatbar against you will be able to pull the nails out much easier, without damaging the roofing. also if you use seal a flex or hydrostop to coat that roof with you could make it last almost indefinitely, and it will look really nice too. you can use any color you want for the top coat but I would use the green rust primer for the first coat. they also have a fabric that you can lay down and coat to fix small leaks or flash transitions. I have done a bunch of 1800's historic homes with original standing seam roofs this way with excellent results, and its less labor than replacing all the roofing. I prefer the hydrostop over the seal o flex but either will work. Good luck with your property it looks beautiful.
