    It's so great the two of you got to work together on this roof. We can all imagine ourselves trying a big project solo, and feeling it must be somehow doable, but then it's overwhelming and we don't know how to make it happen. When a friend or family member comes by and hooks you up, that's a marvelous thing.

    • @sam-and-angela
      @sam-and-angela  4 года назад +7

      Absolutely!!! He didn't know it at the time, but he was a God send and saved the project! It just isn't a one-man job.

    That is going to be a great roof, thanks for the demonstration, I think it helps bring allot of hope to folks that feel trapped in an old trailer home that needs work, and a the prospect of buying a new home. We all need brothers like josh btw, that’s how we Americans used to be, always looking out for our brethren, brothers or not, we’re all in this together and all heading towards the same exit one day

  • @VailsMom

    So proud of you figuring it out, working it out, gutting it out. Enormous and important projects like this, especially when it’s a one-off that you’ve never done alone before can be incredibly overwhelming. Having someone to support you (besides Angela, who supports in other aspects) in the problem solving, the motivation, the hard work and the simple BELIEF that you can complete the project successfully is of immeasurable value. It’s good to have someone in your life who truly ‘has your back’.
    For anyone who isn’t subscribed to Josh’s channel “Steep In The Woods” - what are you waiting for? He’s as hard working and funny as Sam, and while they are alike, they are also different. Sam and Angela are more farm and home improvers, craftspeople and homesteaders. Josh has a slightly different Mountain Man/Pioneer approach, because he has chosen to build his homestead on completely unimproved land - there wasn’t even a road when he started. Anyway, give it a watch - very interesting and fun.

    You're off to a good start. Just keep at and try not to stress. Rain isn't so bad, lots of homes get rained on during construction :) I noticed you skipped your roof clips, but you probably had enough to worry about up there. It will probably be just fine under the metal roof. We watched this the other day but didn't comment. So we thought we'd stop back in and give our support. We look forward to the rest.

    • @sam-and-angela
      @sam-and-angela  4 года назад +1

      Thanks guys! Yeah... the metal clips did not work out as we hoped. The majority of my frustrations pre-Josh arriving was in fighting them and getting them to work. It's on my list of things to show-n-tell in a video along this path. The issue I had was the roof still had flex with the plywood on it and the clips would bend up which would tear through the underlayment. I was bummed they weren't working, but didn't know what else to do but space the plywood as recommended, then just go with it. :-\ I'm not too worried with the metal roof, but would have still preferred to get to use them. Thanks for the comment! :)

    • @diyfferent
      @diyfferent 4 года назад

      @@sam-and-angela That's how it goes sometimes. You just have to do what you can. We actually had trouble with our clips too, not fitting right and being bent, but since we used osb, we just pushed the clips right into the wood wherever they wanted to be. They pushed right into the edge of the osb board when we slid the osb into place.
      I hope the rest of your project is going a bit more smoothly.

      Trailers can be scary to walk on, as there's not much support, most are just 2x2 stringers. But the roof metal is a huge one piece sheet and is surprisingly strong. I used to weigh 330lbs, am now 250, and it had no problem supporting me when I was a mobile home park maintenance man back in 2008

    My husband did not fully cover our 1990 Oakwood singlewide with plywood, he put 3 rows of furing strips on each side & then put metal on. We didn't think the extra weight of the plywood wold be a good idea. Just the way we chose, so far, so good 12 1/2 years later.

Like you, I wanted overhang to attach gutters where there hadnt been any on the original. It came out awesome. Im interested in your project as I have a new park model that has shingles. Crummy workmanship throughout, and font trust the roof work. Want to replace with metal.

      I looked into harnesses but had no idea where to practically mount one. We were both all over the roof up and down multiple times in the day that I think I would have unclipped it from annoyance or it given me a false sense of safety. I did think about it though! I’m not looking to test our gravity at all! 😬😁

    One of the best things about putting a roof over the existing roof is you can add insulation under the finished roof to cut down on how much heat comes in during the summer and heat escapes in the winter. A few inches of foam board insulation can do a lot.

    When sheathing, you should nail 16D nails near the top of the fascia board, and then bend them up, so they're flush at the bottom of your roof, and it'll help you a TON while running that bottom row.. it'll hold the boards in place for ya.. comes in handy when you're sheathing by yourself 👌👌

      You are absolutely right! We both said the heat was the worst part. Not the job, lifting, or anything else. But the heat and humidity! 🥵

    Roofology. LOL
    In your intro, your shirt says "Shut up...." What's the end of that? Inquiring minds want to know!
    Wow, that is a) one steep pitched roof, and b) a liiiiiittttle wobbly for walking. Dang, bro, you got guts walking that roof.
