I’m building my dream home and homestead from scratch with very little experience. Some weeks this means saving a TON of money … other weeks it means making HUGE mistakes that cost me more than paying for labour would have.
This week I’m working on finishing off my ABS venting for my plumbing. I have to finish my sewage venting so that I can start roofing my metal roof. Doing a metal roof really threw me for a loop! I was very shocked with how difficult it is.

amazing!@@ramiromarin4002
Hey you may want to start using a Miter Saw to cut your PVC Pipes from here on out, if you have any more in the future. Goes a lot faster. Just a suggestion, not that you need it, you're doing such an Awesome Job!! Seriously, so cool!
Biata, I have worked with experienced carpenters, plumbers, engineers and architects and they also make mistakes. You are doing a great job and should be proud of your accomplishments and put the mistakes behind. As you said you can find uses for the roofing for wood storage etc. Keep up the good work!
wow, Thank you so much and thanks for watching !
Hi Biata! Don't be so hard on yourself, remember most homes are built by a whole team of people who have been doing one specific thing for years, you are on your own. You are doing amazingly well, and it's really good to see someone putting out the actual hardships they face rather than showing a finished project as if it all ran smoothly. Looking forward to next week, take care, Naomi x
From a experienced Carpenter/Construction worker, l would say you are doing a fantastic job. Your husband is blessed to have you. Keep up the great work. Amazing woman.. 😊
Awh thank you so much!
I have to give you a new tribal name: "Glue spiller"....
Good morning, tough one. What a bummer with the roof sheets. You did the right thing, using what you can and putting the "useless"parts aside for future projects. They are not a total loss, but here and now it just sucks not to have the right materials AND to have to use more money to get on with the project at hand.
Using metal shearers is SO difficult - not like using regular scissors at all. I only tried it a few times and never HAD to learn to do it properly, so I didn't. You rock!
Haha glue spiller 😂. Not my first time, likely won’t be my last lol.
Thank you so much. It was definitely tough but I’ll make it work! And those shears are the worst haha. I’ll hopefully get a better solution!
The boys and I just binge watched 2 months of your videos this weekend and WOW! ❤ Love the transformation! You’re doing amazing.
Awh thanks Charlee! You're amazing with all that you do too!
Biata don't be to hard on yourself you are doing a awesome job with your home. One thing we like about you is you just don't give up your ready and willing to do what it takes to get things done. hope you have a great week comings up. take care and don't forget wear the safety glasses
Thank you! And thanks for the safety glasses reminder haha ;)
Inspirational as always Biata. We learn more by failing than we do by succeeding. Don't 'beat' yourself up, what you are doing is beyond most people. Until next week, stay positive and smiling.
I appreciate it. Thank you so much
You need to just take the measurements up there and then make the cuts. Then check fitment..
Keep your head up Rockstar, you got this! Nothing is easy and if it was everyone would be doing it! See you next week! 😊
Reminder: make yourself an access panel with plumbing beforeyou close off all key junctions so you don't have to cut the walls later. When I had my house when I was younger, my plumber told me I should've had my contractor make me "key access panels". Hope it helps. :)
Thank you for this!
You are doing 100% more than most people would attempt. You are fantastic.
Thanks so much. It's definitely a lot of work
Keeping smiling and brush off the small stuff don't let it get the best of you, it's coming together great
Thanks so much Todd! One step at a time!
I would give anything to be there your videos cause me emotional trauma I've been in construction my whole life 50 years and to watch you make mistakes or just struggle is terrible but you always rebound and finish well whatever job you're doing. I am so impressed with you your amazing
Thank you so much for this. It's a lot of emotions over here haha
One thing I did when I built my house was make 2x6 walls wherever I had ABS piping in it. I even made 2x8 walls when I used pipe larger than 2” diameter. Much easier to plumb. Your doing great.
Ah that makes sense! We have a smaller home so I was just trying to save on space. That’s actually why most venting is just 1.5” ABS going up! Some 2”
Sometimes new projects are a bear to learn about all the details that are involved. Don’t get discouraged, frustration is always going to come with the learning process. Just remember it takes years of hands on to make jobs look easy. Your doing better than I would do. Awesome 👏 job, I love watching you and look forward to the next video.
So true, years of experience to make things look smooth and easy! Thank you!
You're doing a great job. Yes, it was costly, but you are still saving a bundle building your home yourself.
You’re doing so amazing Biata! Roofing is a nightmare! 🤪
Thanks so much ❤️! SUCH a nightmare! Hey I messaged you on IG if you’re ever on there 🥰.
I know it is a struggle to just do the easiest of things. You are getting through it. You are doing a great job.
Biata, this was Not a FAIL, but an excellent accomplishment. You should rejoice in all that you have achieved. As always excellent video of the Best Build Ever! Thank you for sharing.
Awh thank you so much for this
you're crushing it! also retweet to those metal cutters LOL so hard
Thanks so much ladies ❤️! Man, the metal cutters are brutal lol 😂
Biata let me say you have done an amazing job, in all you have done in building you new family home. I know mistakes have been made but even professional builders and trades people make mistakes.
There are larger metal snips. The yellow, red and green handle tin snips are for smaller jobs, with thinner metal. The larger snips are dark grey. They should cut the roofing metal easier.
Stay safe and well. Keep going girl! You are doing a great job! 👏
You are amazing having not used snips before does make it hard plus it's good having 2 people.reminds me of when I was 13 and trying to install an antenna on the roof by myself,was doing it for my dads birthday.I got it done somehow.You have a great spirit focus on the good,not the negative and focus on one task at a time to keep from getting overwhelmed.what you are doing 95% wouldn't even know where to start...You go 👧 you are anazing
Biota,❤ without sounding too chauvinistic there are three different kinds of snips. There are red green and yellow. You are using yellow and those are to make straight cuts. You need a pair of red and green the ridge cut left and the greens cut, right. It would be easier on you if you had those.
I suspect from the little background I've picked up that you are a bit of a perfectionist. What a lot of people don't know is that professionals deal with mistakes and errors all the time and that being professional is knowing how to accommodate or hide them. This knowledge is only gained through experience. You're doing fine.
Thank you for this! It’s so true. And I am a perfectionist lol
The struggle is real…. But you will overcome these challenges, and be one step closer to completion of your build… Keep up the good work, Biata !
Awh thank you : thank )
Look how far you've come. You got this cant wait to see it when its done see you next sunday.❤
Good morning how are you doing today hope you're having a wonderful day and I'll keep up the good work and God bless you ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Biata spilling the pvp pipe glue TWICE!! LMAO BUT making the Save by just twisting the glue onto the pipe right there on the ground making good use of the mishap. LMAO This woman puts a lot of guys to shame, even when something goes wrong. I Love This Channel, always in a great mood after watching, and makes me want to build again - BC
This is said with a big smile and a wink. Did you ever think of scaffolding? Since you were doing this alone, falling off the roof could set you back months if you were injured. I am still awed by your willingness to forge ahead and learn as you go. You are the perfect example of someone with no quit in them. Way to go, it will all work out in the end, and you will have years of satisfaction saying yes it's my home, and I built it! After a year or so of relaxing, maybe you will get the bug to build another house since you now know all about it. 🙃
Haha not going to lie, I didn’t want to set up scaffolding 😂. Wanted to avoid it at all costs lol!
@@SimpleLivingwithBiata Well it worked out in the end but using that light weight metal you could have used an extension ladder as well but it would have required moving the ladder for every nail so I guess there is no good solution. In the end the job is almost over so keep at it I know you will persevere.
That would've been a great idea too, using the ladder! But yes, moving it a lot lol@@Azztek1
The struggle is real. You rock sweety. Just keep swimming.😊
Please get a nibler tool or a nibler attachment for a power drill to easily cut the metal. Once you cut with one of these tools you will never use hand cutters again. Keep at it girl, you are doing better than a lot of men would playing in the same sandbox. I retired from the trades 6 years ago after 50 years in the multi trades construction. Trust me, the best crew I had were ladies who were inexperienced, but willing to learn. I'm rooting for you! You make me proud with your "Can do" attitude!
I’m definitely getting this tool! Thank you! Actually Madison also has two women employees and loves teaching them up! One will be on the video next week!
Make sure your snips are sharp and the bolt holding them together is fairly tight ( you want a bit of resistance to cutting so they aren't trying to flip sideways as you cut). You just sharpen the top edge not the face. You can get electric shears if that doesn't work
Electric shears are sounding amazing right now haha
😢😢😢, I'm so sorry for your loss of money, and you dropping those pieces of metals, hope GOD give you strength 💪 to hold them good. have a Blessed day and Holly days 🙏 💖 ❤️
You IMPRESS me!! Take a deep breath, understand that metal is mean, but you’re resilient. Go look at aviation offset snips. They are literally almost 90 degrees to the metal when making cuts, no fumbling trying to make straight cuts with just cut metal flopping back in your path.
Metal sure is mean haha! Thank you! Those snips sound great!
When running ABS through the metal roof you will need to put a snow diverter behind it. At least as tall as the vent pipe. Snow moving on the metal can snap them off. Had it happen to me. 😏
Thank you! I’m picking something up from my steel company this week for them!
Amazing work Biata !!
See the problems with the steel roof as a bump in the road. Your overall project of building a family home is so much more and you're doing a fantastic job.
We all make mistakes and learning from our mistakes is how we progress, become more skilful and a lot wiser too ! 🦉
Looking forward to next weeks video. Have a good week 🙂
Thank you! I appreciate it!
So much respect for you. Replaced my roof with metal this fall and it took three full weekends to accomplish. They do make right handed and left handed shears that work a little easier than the straight one you have, but honestly they all suck. I’m certain you will be way more efficient than I was by the time you’re done. You’re a legend and no doubt you will be more than pleased with the outcome. Just be safe up there.
Thank you so much for this! It was definitely a struggle but I'm getting more efficient now that's for sure! Can't wait to show you what else I got done!
You’re a trooper. It’s not the end of the world to ask for help. Cutting with snips is hard. Hang in there u will get it 😊
Thank you so much! It sure is hard!
Biata, I feel for you the frustration and the tin snips does suck, unless a pro who is used to the handling of them. Don't be so hard on yourself, as you have taken on and succeeded beyond what many of us would never even attempt to do. Sit back and take a deep breath and keep on moving forward.
Thank you! Those snips do really suck haha
Red handled snips are the best , now days my buddies all use a cordless cutter
One of the most common misconceptions is the prints or plans are exact, only part of this is true, on one job we had 6 revisions, got to go with what is instead what is on paper, and I will be among those many who say STOP beating yourself! What your doing is hard! It took years before I was proficient at many skills, remember we learn by doing, and it can get damned expensive, I bought tin snips and supplies 33 years ago and still have them, worth the money for good tools you'll get your use out of them. Grin n bear it, cuss a blue streak if needed, you have a lot of support out here just ask😊 👍
Some trades are best left to pros. Since you are already into it, keep going. Practice on scraps. You got this! There is another sheer that will allow you to cut circles. Compound Action Offset Straight and Left Cut Aviation Snips? Deep breath. Try again.
There's metal plumbing scrapping. It has a bunch of holes all through it all the way down. It's about one inch wide to half an inch wide. All you have to use a screw on one side and a screw on the other side. Just wrap it over it. Screw it down and it will be no problem
Stop being disappointed in yourself, you are amazing!
You keep going Girl, you are doing FANTASTIC.
You are working very hard. The video was very funny. Be happy and keep smiling.❤❤❤
You always amaze and bring smiles. This is a wonderful project. See you next time.
Love and major respect to you for how hard you try. Tin snips suck! LOL
Young lady be proud of what you are doing not many could pull off what you are doing o and hello from Kentucky.
Thank you so much 😊
You are doing wonderfully. Keep your smile and know that it will get done one way or the other. Great job.
Thank you so much!
You always do your best Biata, YOU ROCK!
Can't wait until you finally finish this Biata
Just so you know even the Professional Contractors hire out certain jobs such as plumbing, electrical and roofing. There is an entire industry built around roofing so don't be so hard on your self. It takes years to learn a trade skill and your doing great with it just being you. Just remember this quote “a jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes better than a master of one.” Keep going push through your strong and smart. YOU GOT THIS!!!
Thank you! It's so true. As my hubby was helping me roof on the weekend he said "this is why I said if anything, hire out the roof" haha. But I'm thankful for the experience!
Yay, new video on my favorite channel 🎉. House build is huge and complicated project for diyiers. You should be very proud of yourself!
Thank you so much’ I’m so happy you like watching!
Hi Biata, my husband and I watch your videos every Sunday and have two girls similar your age. We are so proud of you and enjoy your project and wish you all the success. Well done girl ❤
Thank you so very much!
The person that never makes a mistake, never makes anything. Keep up the good work!!!
You’re so right! Thank you!
Nope, you are doing fine Biata and I can certainly relate to how difficult metal trim can be. What a mess those plans left you in with your windows, doors and now the roofing. Probably worth a review by an engineering company to go over them for you before anything else crops up. A little money now saving a lot later. Keep up the amazing work Biata and all the best from Edmonton 😊❤😊
That’s a really great idea! Thank you! I’ve thought about having someone else look them over since
You are amazing be careful on your roof everything will turn out great
Stop being so hard on yourself, you’ve never built before and you should proud of what you have accomplished.
Listen great job keep up the good work!
That is a Bunch of Crap! You Paid a architect, to draw up and design you r house it should be on them for your windows and roofing. They are the professionals here. You are doing a Great job!!!! Keep up the great work it looks beautiful. Your family will enjoy it. The best thing it is all you!!!
i know it's easy to say this but it really is about the journey and you will look back in years to come at your vids and be proud of the journey and how much you learnt through it.
Thank you! I'm already so in awe looking back on old videos of what this land used to be!
dont be too hard on yourself. you are doing a great job!!!!!!!
Beata here are 2 items you should look at for cutting metal. 41/2 angle grinder with 1/16 cutting wheel or Dewalt has a tool called metal nibbler
Was getting worried with you being late. 😂. My how we set our time / schedule to your posting. Thanks!
Hahah it’s so true! Glad I got it posted 😂😬
Good morning and great video Biata. Roofing can be a real pain in the butt. Just keep your head up and you'll get it. Take care and have a blessed and safe week and I'll see you on your next video
You’re awesome! Thank you so much 😊
Been silently cheering you on since the tree felling! You are doing all the right things for you and your family and it will all pay off! ❤❤❤❤❤
Awh thank you so much! The tree felling videos were so fun :)
Хеллоу! Как всегда свежа, энергична и целеустремлённа! Здоровья, терпения и добра Тебе!
Don’t be disappointed in yourself it’s new to but you are doing great 🎉
U always always fight thru it & do an amazing job. Pls be safe 🙂
Love the new roof. It's going to be fantastic. Great job!
Thank you so much!
In Australia if you use a grinder on roof materials you have to remove the burr that's left on the back of the cut so it will not create a rust problem or you void your warranty
Oh interesting! Thank you!
Using metal snips is an art
Definitely is very tricky to do!
Keep up the GREAT WORK!!! If I could I would totally love to help you.
The correct snips to use are right or left "offset" snips, which are just like your yellow ones but provides clearance for the cut.
Also left handed snips aren't just for left handed people but for making left handed cuts
That’s awesome! Thank you! I had no clue
one thing I want you to do is where you cut a stud in the wall and pipe through, and get a metal strip to cover both sides so when hanging sheetrock you don't drill threw it, ok and nice work keep going
Absolutely!!!
tie a piece of timber on each end the tie to the opisite side of the house it will give you something to push againt hang on to etc
Wowza!! You’re doing an awesome job‼️💪🏻
Your still doing such a great job 👍 keep smiling ☺
Thank you so much 😁
Good work, Biata❤ Greetings from Norway🇧🇻
I’ve always worked off a ladder when putting the edge trim on. 😊
I think that’s a better play!
Measure Measure And Measure Again! Also....GIVE YOURSELF CREDIT AND KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK ‼️😊
You can't learn if you don't do mistakes, that is bye the mistake you learn. The founder of IKEA Ingvar Kamprad have a thesis : "That's OK to do mistakes if you can learn from them.". What I can see you learn of your mistakes, and you not afraid to ask for help then you see that can't manged that step of build without any help.
what to say , i am proud of you, even i try to do everything by myself sometimes i come to the point , leave it to the expert or check the tools they are using, in germany we say" no master fall of the heaven" or " you has to build 3 house before you get one nearly perfect, best regards from the "Oberlausitz"
Please dont get me wrong , you are doing very well . We all make mistakes . And it sucks . .My last one cost me $7000 on a $1000 dollar job. Richard .
You have to remember what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger
I know that you have a few more things to do with the steel from the roof so it might be worth getting a nibbler. I put my metal roof on with a nibbler and I would never try it with shears again. I think that I got mine for like $20 at Harbor Freight and cut about 10 mins off of each panel cut.
Great to know! Thank you!
Listen here queen of building you done an amazing jobs giving you an high five ✋✋✋✋✋
Thank you so much!
Great video Biata
Don’t stress, everyone makes mistakes… the materials can be used elsewhere… no worries!
mistakes are human......so....you're a beautiful human
If you are going at it very,very, hard,you are going to make mistakes..If you can,try to take some breaks to cut down on your mistakes...You find out that you will make less mistakes..Try it and see if this will work for you...I love the way your house is looking ❤..If you have any questions,ask the people watching your channel for help and they will help you..That is what we are out here for..To support you as much as we can..😊😊
Thank you so much! I appreciate it. Breaks will be easier once I can get the house heated for winter. But one step at a time is so important :)
You have done a great job !!!
Use a nibbler attachment which makes it easy to cut the roofing material. It is a battery tool which does a cut much neater. Don't know what is called in Canada but I am sure they will know
Thank you so much!!
Well done. Problems, you just rock.
You’re awesome! Thank you!
A Malco TS1 Turbo shear is what you need to get there cheap for what your doing . They go right in your drill or impact driver
Yes!!! My video is a week ahead and this is what I got but Dewalt
I took my vent pipe out the side of the house instead of out of the roof that way no holes in the roof. But you may need a variance
Oh very cool! I didn’t know that was possible but it makes sense :)
You are doing something that most, and I do mean most, women could never do and wouldn’t even attempt to do! Cut yourself some slack. You are an amazing young lady!
Get a red handled pair if your right handed and get the ones that move your hand away from the metal there prob $40 for a good set
Awesome thank you so much!
Biata do they not use PVC pipe in Canada ?
Biata a few tips for you …
Don’t forget your nail plates in your sills and studs to protect your plumbing from screws and nails being punctured into them…
Don’t forget to foam around your plumbing, going into the cold area to keep the cold draft out of the house and to fire stop your wall …
I made pipe caps for pipes going through the roof that hold a laser so you know where to drill your hole in your roof…
Wear is swimming goggles when drilling above your head to keep the sawdust out of your eyes
Stay positive don’t let the roofing mistake get to you. It happens to everybody stay strong stay safe.
Biata do you know they make right and left-handed tin snips other than the straight now?
Venting is done in ABS in Canada for the most part! Stronger and a better product for cold weather! PVC can be used for the rest but I just went with the stronger option!
@@SimpleLivingwithBiata
Ok I see
Need you safe and healthy please always have help at least until the roof is done.❤
Thank you! So much more work today! I’ll try to stay healthy!
@@SimpleLivingwithBiata you must stay safe also always.
