    European here, so genuine question: building with wood in so much rain - once the roof is on: are you going to run dehumidifiers for a while or are you able to just carry on building? Like the plywood floors look really soggy, I assume there would be mold growing eventually. Or will you have to replace those because they warp?
    You are doing a fantastic job, the amount of pacience and teamwork you two have is admirable.
    I'm already looking forward to the next video, as always. :D

      The wood is very dry to begin with, yes it gets wet but not completely saturated( water logged ) When my family put their addition on the house you keep on building and if needed they use heaters and fans . But honestly I think the heater and fans were to make sure the concrete cured properly. The structure doesn’t spontaneously warp and there isn’t mold because it so open. They build year round here

      We used to use them in many places I've lived in, including Los Angeles.
      You read that correctly. We used goats in Los Angeles, or rather in the suburbs north of Los Angeles. It's not far from the foot hills and the mountains, so there are areas of the surrounding areas, especially to the north and the west, that are pretty rugged.
      Also, we'd get a lot of wild critters through those areas as well. So much so that the old timers called it "Skunk Alley."

    We live about 45mins from the house they're working on. It wasn't just rain, it was torrential rain! It sounded like buckets of water were being thrown on our windows.

    I ve just binged all these renovation videos because you were mentioned on another renovation project I watch Milly & Louis | Belgrave Villa Renovation UCKUIPcAsg6zlG_qCMucq3AA. Highly recommend to anyone who is enjoying this channel...it's a bright young couple in Wales, UK taking on a big renovation project and doing a lot of the work themselves. Millie and Louis are a really lovely couple like Jenna and Nicky...now I have two Wednesday treats! Looking forward to the roof being fully on here although I'll miss that phenomenal view you have on your roof 😍

    I love these videos, they're a welcome distraction from all the hard things that are happening right now. What's going in the middle of the roof? Is that going to be a giant skylight? Also, I'm afraid of heights and every time either one of you in near the edge of the roof I get so nervous for you. LOL! You're doing such amazing work, you should be so proud of yourselves!

    I thought the whole point of plywood is each ply has a different grain direction for strength, I guess the top and bottom layers make more of a difference though

    You realize the grain changes direction on every ply, so it doesn't really matter what direction the grain is going, because that's only the top ply.
