A general statement: A metal roof will shed the snow, a shingle roof will hold it. Being you do get snow, and you have chosen a relatively shallow pitch; go with a metal roof! No purlins as you have put plywood down…. Don’t forget to attach hurricane straps! So happy for you and your progress! Time for cargo pants…. Then you can load up with your tools before you start the video! (Or a tool belt…).
You guys should totally do a metal roof. For like $5k in extra materials you’ll have a roof that will last for at least twice as long as a shingle roof if not way longer. Go for a standing seam. Also, solar panels are easier to attach to a standing seam, if that was a thing you ever wanted to do.
It is coming along nicely hour by hour. You guys work great together. Remember, it's not a how to channel it's a how Riley does it channel. Andy has some great ideas to booth.
Riley, don't beat yourself up about getting frustrated. You are the king of "working it out" with minimum frustration. I'm retired & you guys convince me to tackle harder and tougher DIY projects every month, than i would ever have tried otherwise. Ambition struck.
There is no way I can offer the standard “you should…” advice, which always seems a bit insulting to me. Rather, I want to thank you sincerely for the joy of the highs and lows, the good spirits, and the example of a collaborative team doing hard things carefully. You guys are inspiring and FUN!
Oliver said "Black" as he pointed to that roll of Black tarp or whatever that was, it's black go back and watch it. 👍 House is really moving along now.!! Good job guys!
I meant to tell you before, I think your child is a genius. For real. Not to mention, he's a little darling and a doll. He is undoubtedly your best accomplishment to date, and that says a lot. WTG.
Install windows in multi million $$ houses for a living, if you want sloping under your windows (not necessary as long as everything is sealed right but definitely an added layer of protection) just use cheap lap siding nailed to the sill (but the opening has to be framed approximately 1/2” taller when framing).
Seems like you have a pretty cool wife. Make sure to value her contribution! Its very difficult to find a good woman anymore ... a good woman who offers ambition, dedication, and hope to the building of the home and the homestead
You guys are a great team and I think from start to finish of this build you will have killed more than 120 burritos. LOL I send you all a big hug WE LOVE YOU thanks to you and all your inspiration
Just a bit of info from a contractor. Remember to be fully dried in you need to apply window tape to the sides and top of the flanges when installing windows. Also you should leave 1/4 gap on the bottoms of windows for any expansion and contraction or for trim. Awesome build so far. Congrats my bro.
Kyle from RR Buildings is an awesome builder and teacher. Perkins Builder Brothers is another good channel. The house is coming along so well and Oliver gets more adorable everyday. Sweet baby boy 💙
As an Australian I found it hilarious you used subtitles when Andy was speaking in some of the earlier videos so the Americans could understand him. Andy has been such a funny highlight gonna miss him
WOW! Like I cannot believe how much work you guys did and how well you did the work. Which goes to show if you build things plumb and square, you will make your build a heck of a lot easier.😊
Minimum pitch for shingles is 2/12. I know yours is 2.25/12 but anything less than 4/12 is advised to have extra underlay and more Ice and Water to reduce moisture wicking to the decking as snow is more likely to sit on roofs less than 4/12. In some areas local code won’t even allow shingles on pitches under 4/12 and some manufacturers have a reduced warranty on roofs less than 4/12.
I live in West Michigan and built my house with a 6/12 pitch! You don't want anything less if you get any substantial amount of snow. A few days in a snowstorm can really overload your roof, especially with this new wet icy snow that's been the norm.
Been a glazier for 36 years. Need the right tools they are quite cheap. You might have frustrated but from my side I was giving you lots of verbal support
Great job boys and girl.. Don't forget to tape off where the horizontal house wrap meets the section below. Also tape off the top near the roof line of the house wrap where it meets the top of the windows. House wrap is an air barrier too. .
Just trying to think of all the things that Andy in particular, has learned to do n virtually perfected them all !! Transition from Metric Measuring to Imperial, Welding, roof Runner, Nail Gun User, Trickster, Safety Expert, Block layer, Concreter, Glazier, Praying Mantis Tutor, n more that ive probably missed.
My favorite was early on, when there was a puddle of water on the concrete basement floor. Riley vacuumed it up & wanted to make sure there was not a leak from ground water. Every time Riley was not looking, Andy would take a bucket of water and refill the puddle. Riley was very concerned that they had a major problem, but Andy finally had mercy (but he laughed way too hard while Riley was still recovering). 😂😂😂
Don’t forget the plastic cap nails on your roof underlayment. Staples tend to tear out in the wind and roof it ASAP! Standing seam metal roof would be my choice! I love the windows and doors!
👋Great work & speedy! I agree with others about the ice shield & tin. ⚠️ I also agree with Andy about that large sliding door system that is so lightly held in place. Having raised four boys, and you having a toddler around, it's concerning that it's not very thoroughly secured...it's a long drop to the ground, and boys like to run into things. Lastly, the makeshift manlift is ingenious! ⚠️But just so you - and your audience - are aware... normal manlifts have check valves in them that prevent the basket from dropping if you blow a hydraulic hose. In your excavator, if you blow a hose you will suddenly drop the two or three stories you're being held up in the air. So it's great until it's deadly. 😱 Be very careful! ⚠️
Having lived in Idaho for several years I would think that a metal roof would be better at shedding the snow than shingles. You folks are a wonder to have turned out that house in such a short time! Great stuff. Thanks for producing two videos in one week with the new (to you) motor home and a house building video the same week. I can hardly wait until next Sunday for the next video.
Another great video! You folks are an inspiration, and a model for what ALL citizens should strive for: self-sufficiency, problem-solving and hard work.
I’ve seen spitting tacks as my Dad was a long time upholsterer (1940s and 1950a) and before inexpensive staple guns they held tacks in their mouths and pulled them out with the magnet end on the tack hammer. Then in one smooth move they tacked the fabric down. But Riley takes it to the next level with screws!!!
Nice to see all running equipment, and tools. Good friend and wife helping. Sometimes thinking to much, is more tiring, than the labor side of it. Looking good. Southcentral Kansas.
So sweet of you Riley for thanking Courtney for being a good mom and helping on site. All of you are so darn funny! Love watching this build! It looks so great! Andy cracked me up when Riley was fixing the latch on the window and said "Now all that time breaking into houses has paid off"! Wahaha! Also cracked me up when Riley called his dad as they were stuck in their manlift!
The build is looking good! Just make sure to tape the sides and top of the windows with flashing tape before you side things. Don't rely on that caulking, it is a back up to the flashing tape you guys didn't put over the window flanges. Try to install some sort of drip edge over the doors as well, you'll be glad you did years down the line!
five minutes ago I just came across this RUclips channel called Tiny Home Tours......it was a year ago. Name of this video was Revon 4X4 Trailblazer RV. The guy that owns says only 67 of these were made. Now I am going back to the video to watch it
you could have weather shielded (Ice Shield) entire roof. We do that here in the Northeast typically because it is almost 100% failproof and not much different in price than synthetic and tape all seams. Also if ever you wanted solar Ice Shield is the best for nailing to.
We’re going to be so sorry to see Andy go 😩. What a terrific friend and assistant he’s been. And his sense of humour is really funny. You’ve done an amazing job and should be so proud of yourselves. Brilliant teamwork 👵👋🇨🇦🤗
Bing a lady from West Yorkshire, Great Britain I'm so going to miss Andy when he's gone as I'm sure you all will, he's been a great help to you and Courtney, you make a great team , I hope he gets to come back soon. 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇺🇸🇺🇸
Great job yall ! You got so much done in this video. Big shout out to Andy for all his help so you could get dried in. Plus yall seem to really enjoy working together. House is looking great !!!
Great video, has taken a while to watch due to life interruptions but you guys and gals have great skills and you keep Oliver involved. Looking forward to the rest of the build
Metal roof along with solar power if you can at least plan for it over time. Also heat pump. Mine has paid for itself is cost savings over natural gas in the Pacific Northwest in Portland/Vancouver metro area.
The best way to water tight a window is to caulk top and both sides, add window, nail 3sides and a couple loss bottom then tape top and side flange to seal the water then bring the top wall covering down on top of tape.
Seeing Riley in the man basket saying he's making a carnival ride out of it, made me think of last Christmas.. I hope you get the train out again this year now that Oliver is big enough for it! 🎉 🚂🚃🚃🎡🎪 xx
Glad you were able to work through the frustration. It’s okay for things not to go right and to feel bad about it. I hope you know we don’t expect you to be cheerful all the time!
Due to the low roof pitch, Christine recommends metal roof. If you guys do put shingles, you need to do another layer of underlayment on the roof to make 2 layers.
Living in the forest you need a metal roof for fire protection. Use fiber cement for siding, Clear about 50 feet around your home. No trees or shrubs within that 50 feet.
@@SegoMan ok keyboard warrior I build in the middle of the Nicollet forest and I'll bet only3 percent of the homes have metal roofing We get on average 5 plus feet a snow on a average year up to 10ft on a good one Forest fires aren't much of a problem here because we have common sense
Although most county codes require 6’ of ice and water shield we covered our entire roof with it, from peak to eves. It didn’t cost much more, provides slightly more insulation and protection from tree damage. Plus it was helpful because I did the roof myself and there was a few week gap between the underlayment and shingle installation so it was like a roof on top of a roof in the end. That ice and water shield is some amazing stuff. When I installed new vinyl siding I put a single layer of ice and water shield around the entire home where the sill plate meets the foundation. Water splashback will never cause me headaches. Love this house design.
Riley, when we reroofed a few years ago we changed over to a standing ridge dark green metal roof. We love it. The roof will outlast us. I think it is the only one in the city limits. It does cost a little more but might cheaper in the long run.
Lookin' good! Riley, it's always a god sign when your life mate still likes to play with you ! Love how this adventure is coming along; has Christopher offered an opinion?
On top of your roof plywood and sheathing, I would suggest installing 4'x8' foil covered, on one side, styrofoam sheets, in-between 1'x4" treated or OSB boards as roof battens. And then attach the 24 or 26 gauge steel to the battens. We use 29 gauge in Louisiana where there's no anticipated snow load. A cheap solution for a lot more insulation. Also, seek advice about the roof color. I like gavelume (not painted, silver in color) for it's sun reflective qualities. Since it is just as cold in North Idaho, as it is hot in Louisiana; you may want a more absorbent, darker color. Good fortunes for the rest of y'all's build. Just saw your RV trip home, and this video. Entertaining, new subscriber!! Be careful.
METAL ROOF, ONLY! lol Seriously, I installed roofing for over 10 years and my suggestion, Install a Metal Roof. Suggestion, go take a drive and look at all the 100-year-old barns falling apart, the WOOD is falling apart, the Metal Roofs are still intact. lol Common Sence. Just my opinion. Great Channel, wish you all luck in all you do. Great FUN Channel here. - Bill Cragg
I froze the frame at the very beginning (went back 3 times to catch it!) and Olivers smile while he's riding on Riley's shoulders is priceless! Really that would be a picture to frame and cherish. Love your videos - Thank you!
I want to add my recommendation for a metal roof as well. Don't believe the naysayers when they say stuff like, it's noisy, or it's hot, none of that is true. We got two metal roofs installed, one on my father's house and one on our house. As for the noise, it's simply is not majorly louder than a traditional roof. In my dad's house you can hear the rain but it's not loud at all and at our house you can't hear it at all which I suspect is because of the extra insulation from the underlying roof structure which is different than my dad's. Some people think that a metal roof is like an old tin roof on a barn, but the new ones with the good seemed metal are light years ahead of what most people think they are. The other thing if you decide to do a metal roof is choosing your colors carefully. They have everything from a plain steel galvanized roof to any exotic color you could possibly imagine. But be aware of the color because after years it will fade and it also might affect heat absorption and reflection. We live in the desert Southwest so we went with a white roof to reflect the heat from the Sun. I'm told the roof Will not begin to fade for about 10 to 12 years then it will slowly lose its luster (It's a fairly shiny white now) and become more of a flat white for the rest of its life. Just some thoughts my friends keep up the channel and enjoy your family and your life!
Wow,love the video of hard work, pranks, humor,and best of all knowledge between all of you! Can't get enough of this channel! Can't wait to see what's next!😊❤
Former General Contractor and roofing company owner here. In your geographical area and because of the slope of your roof I would have advised you to use the Water and Ice Shield on the entire roof and then go over that with your staple down underlayment. Yes, I understand my suggestion can be viewed as overkill but I have never had a leak on any roof I designed. Also, again considering your geographical area and weather conditions I would suggest you go with a Standing Seam metal roof BUT make sure you get a heavy gauge metal, do not use purlin's as it will make the roof not walkable and snow weight will cause bowing and stretch of the metal causing stress on the screws.
for the small amount of money they would have spent extra you wonder why not. i always recommend doing the whole roof in I&W ., the peace of mind is priceless.
@@SegoMan I like and have always used Peel and Stick Ice and Water Shield with a minimum of a 6 inch overlap. Then, a Tyvek over top of that. Again, I understand that people will scream "overkill" but today's materials can NOT withstand WATER CONTACT. Roof damage today due to water can result in tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Why take that chance? I had a customer's home that had a slow roof leak and the water was slowly absorbed by the roofing strand board (also something I do NOT recommend) and the bill to fix everything came to $40,000+. A roof is nothing to go CHEAP on.
We do it that way around here on roof replacements because the weather is so unpredictable it's worth it to have the roof water tight right from the start.
Given the location you guys are in, i would do a metal roof. You will probably be able to install it faster too, even though materials will be more. I would then do closed cell spray foam under the roof deck/walls....it will be very efficient and quiet.

And spray closed cell foam inside
Also, a metal roof will increase house value should you decide to sell at some point.
I was told my metal roof was good for 50 yrs
The warranty is 50 years so should last significantly longer.
And sounds amazing in the rain
Ther are noisy
Andy is some machine! He is also a right wind up merchant. He is definitely worth his weight in tea.

Andy is a beast who would be welcome on any framing crew, I suspect!
Install windows in multi million $$ houses for a living, if you want sloping under your windows (not necessary as long as everything is sealed right but definitely an added layer of protection) just use cheap lap siding nailed to the sill (but the opening has to be framed approximately 1/2” taller when framing).
Great to see couples working hard together and not wanting to kill each other.
Seems like you have a pretty cool wife. Make sure to value her contribution! Its very difficult to find a good woman anymore ... a good woman who offers ambition, dedication, and hope to the building of the home and the homestead

Why does it feel like I just watehed the Blues Brothers install a sliding door?! Love the energy gents.
Andy should get one amazing present when this is done. Loving the build.
Just a bit of info from a contractor. Remember to be fully dried in you need to apply window tape to the sides and top of the flanges when installing windows. Also you should leave 1/4 gap on the bottoms of windows for any expansion and contraction or for trim. Awesome build so far. Congrats my bro.
I was wondering why they didn't finish off the windows with tape up the sides and across the top. That's the way Tom Silva taught me.
Kyle from RR Buildings is an awesome builder and teacher. Perkins Builder Brothers is another good channel. The house is coming along so well and Oliver gets more adorable everyday. Sweet baby boy 💙
As an Australian I found it hilarious you used subtitles when Andy was speaking in some of the earlier videos so the Americans could understand him. Andy has been such a funny highlight gonna miss him
Well, he's not speaking american English 🤣
That 3m sticky tape for the windows is what they use on skyscrapers, stronger then you think. Help gives it flexibility for heat and cold expansion
We peel & stick the whole roof, the benefits greatly outweigh the additional costs. .
WOW! Like I cannot believe how much work you guys did and how well you did the work. Which goes to show if you build things plumb and square, you will make your build a heck of a lot easier.😊

Riley, when we reroofed a few years ago we changed over to a standing ridge dark green metal roof. We love it. The roof will outlast us. I think it is the only one in the city limits. It does cost a little more but might cheaper in the long run.
Lookin' good! Riley, it's always a god sign when your life mate still likes to play with you ! Love how this adventure is coming along; has Christopher offered an opinion?
4 years being hooked on your channel from Kenya my kinda people
Cool. I check to see if there anything new from my favorite channel and the result is that it was posted 18 seconds ago.
On top of your roof plywood and sheathing, I would suggest installing 4'x8' foil covered, on one side, styrofoam sheets, in-between 1'x4" treated or OSB boards as roof battens.
And then attach the 24 or 26 gauge steel to the battens. We use 29 gauge in Louisiana where there's no anticipated snow load.
A cheap solution for a lot more insulation.
Also, seek advice about the roof color. I like gavelume (not painted, silver in color) for it's sun reflective qualities. Since it is just as cold in North Idaho, as it is hot in Louisiana; you may want a more absorbent, darker color.
Good fortunes for the rest of y'all's build.
Just saw your RV trip home, and this video. Entertaining, new subscriber!! Be careful.
METAL ROOF, ONLY! lol Seriously, I installed roofing for over 10 years and my suggestion, Install a Metal Roof. Suggestion, go take a drive and look at all the 100-year-old barns falling apart, the WOOD is falling apart, the Metal Roofs are still intact. lol Common Sence. Just my opinion. Great Channel, wish you all luck in all you do. Great FUN Channel here. - Bill Cragg
I froze the frame at the very beginning (went back 3 times to catch it!) and Olivers smile while he's riding on Riley's shoulders is priceless! Really that would be a picture to frame and cherish. Love your videos - Thank you!
What a lovely couple, always together with Oliver. The house is becoming beautiful. Greetings from Santiago de Chile.
How did you get so lucky to have Andy? Great helper!!!
I want to add my recommendation for a metal roof as well. Don't believe the naysayers when they say stuff like, it's noisy, or it's hot, none of that is true. We got two metal roofs installed, one on my father's house and one on our house. As for the noise, it's simply is not majorly louder than a traditional roof. In my dad's house you can hear the rain but it's not loud at all and at our house you can't hear it at all which I suspect is because of the extra insulation from the underlying roof structure which is different than my dad's. Some people think that a metal roof is like an old tin roof on a barn, but the new ones with the good seemed metal are light years ahead of what most people think they are. The other thing if you decide to do a metal roof is choosing your colors carefully. They have everything from a plain steel galvanized roof to any exotic color you could possibly imagine. But be aware of the color because after years it will fade and it also might affect heat absorption and reflection. We live in the desert Southwest so we went with a white roof to reflect the heat from the Sun. I'm told the roof Will not begin to fade for about 10 to 12 years then it will slowly lose its luster (It's a fairly shiny white now) and become more of a flat white for the rest of its life. Just some thoughts my friends keep up the channel and enjoy your family and your life!
To help cut down on the noise and heat with a metal roof install furring strips first.
Anyway to keep Andy? The fun you all have makes people so happy. Thanks again for all of your great videos.
Great job Guy’s! The house is dried in! Oliver is growing so fast🙏🙏🙏Blessing’s
I noticed it looks like you have a BOB stroller. We had that for our son. They are great!
metal roof is fire resistant
It really looks crazy how easy it is to build an house in the USA from a german perspektiv. It´s such a joy to follow that progress.
Happy Birthday Mary Hannah. Alls looking great on the Build !
For safe manoeuvre the big windows please use the suction cups with handle.😁
Wow,love the video of hard work, pranks, humor,and best of all knowledge between all of you! Can't get enough of this channel! Can't wait to see what's next!😊❤
Metal roof for such a low slope. Snow will slide off much easier, especially in the years you really get dumped on up there.
Love the video Guy's and love little Oliver big big Smile .💗
The ice shield is supposed to wrap around the fascia and then the drip edge goes on top. You will have leaks at the overhang when ice fills up there
Former General Contractor and roofing company owner here. In your geographical area and because of the slope of your roof I would have advised you to use the Water and Ice Shield on the entire roof and then go over that with your staple down underlayment. Yes, I understand my suggestion can be viewed as overkill but I have never had a leak on any roof I designed. Also, again considering your geographical area and weather conditions I would suggest you go with a Standing Seam metal roof BUT make sure you get a heavy gauge metal, do not use purlin's as it will make the roof not walkable and snow weight will cause bowing and stretch of the metal causing stress on the screws.
What's your opinion on the ZIP Sheeting System ?? I've heard both good and bad.. The SIP panel company I plan on using offers it as a option..
for the small amount of money they would have spent extra you wonder why not. i always recommend doing the whole roof in I&W ., the peace of mind is priceless.
@@SegoMan I like and have always used Peel and Stick Ice and Water Shield with a minimum of a 6 inch overlap. Then, a Tyvek over top of that. Again, I understand that people will scream "overkill" but today's materials can NOT withstand WATER CONTACT. Roof damage today due to water can result in tens of thousands of dollars in damage. Why take that chance? I had a customer's home that had a slow roof leak and the water was slowly absorbed by the roofing strand board (also something I do NOT recommend) and the bill to fix everything came to $40,000+. A roof is nothing to go CHEAP on.
We do it that way around here on roof replacements because the weather is so unpredictable it's worth it to have the roof water tight right from the start.
if it was a pitched roof there wouldn't be the weight of snow on it. . .. . .??
Given the location you guys are in, i would do a metal roof. You will probably be able to install it faster too, even though materials will be more. I would then do closed cell spray foam under the roof deck/walls....it will be very efficient and quiet.
Man basket + Andy = Rapid Progress :D
The roof grip guard has round targets for roofing nails. Never seen anyone use staples before.
