Roof build part 1 - Rafters (Update 014)

Cutting and fitting the rafters. Progress on the roof of the wood-framed tiny house we are building on our off-grid homestead in the Klein Karoo (Little Karoo) region of the Western Cape province of South Africa.
Also included in this video - progress on our septic tank, an update on our water tank farm, installation of a LPG geyser for the shower and general progress on the house.
Thank you to everyone who reached out to hear if all is well (since this video is so late) - we had some challenges. I'm happy to report we now have solar-backed broadband wi-fi on the farm, so at least internet access is no longer on the list of challenges!

Am enjoying your videos! I live in the high desert in North America and am contemplating building something similar. Our terrain looks just like yours. Keep up the good work and enjoy the results.

Goeiedag Oom,
Ek het julle kanaal gister ontdek en is besig om van die begin af deur die opdateerings te werk. Ek tel wel tot dusver op dat Oom glad nie enige PPE dra nie. Ek geniet houtwerk vreeslik en ek en my pasgetroude vrou wil ook baie graag iewers in ons land op 'n plek kom waar ons 'n "homestead" tipe leefstyl het(dit is nou wel 'n storie vir 'n ander dag). Ek is 25 so kyk ook seker anders na my lyf, maar ek werk baie meer effektief en met baie min newe-effekte wanneer ek oog en oor veiligheid dra. Ek sal dit redelik sterk aanbeveel, veral as Oom nog op die ou dag die tweerigtingradios wil kan hoor roep vanuit 'n ander vertrek in die huis. Selfs met geharde hande werk ek met meer spoed en krag as ek handskoene aan het.
Gedink ek laat Oom solank met iets om te oorweeg. Ek geniet die videos tot dusver, ek hoop hulle hou gereeld aan in kom.
Groete,
Marnis Boersma

Dankie Marnis, jy is natuurlik 100% reg!
Marnis made an excellent point above. He commented on me not always wearing PPE, specifically ear and eye protection, and gloves.
