You’re doing an awesome job. I would recommend adding blocking between the ceiling joists as the joists seemed to have quite a bit of movement in them from what I could see when you were lifting the ply on to the roof.
You continue to inspire and amaze me. Just seeing you on that roof, in the rain, busting your butt... makes me feel like a wuss, for procrastinating and whining about putting a roof on my 10x10 shed, because of a little bit of bad weather LOL. In my defense though, I'm getting old 😝... but that's no excuse! You Rock!!! 🎸🎶
I hate to say it because she isn't afraid to do the work, but I have seen so many poor construction techniques in these videos all I can do is shake my head. I have to ask where she is learning this stuff from?
Hi we've just found you and we're loving your videos! Your husband will be watching and I'm sure he'll be so proud! Keep up the amazing work and loving the sawmill fantastic!! Much love from Scotland ❤
You have such a good work ethic, I really admire you. Just a couple of suggestions. First, you should stagger the joints for added strength and also I hope you will add blocking to your roof rafters to give it more strength and increase rigidity.
I just found your channel. You are one motivated gal. It amazes me some of the comments that are posted. I’m wondering if they post them to be helpful, or just to diss a hardworking woman. Keep up the good work.
Great job getting dried in.Oh my goodness I kept on wanting to reach in to my screen and help you out, also trying to tell you to turn that pipe around, all I can do from NZ. You did so well with no help, You worked it all out in the end, good job.
You are getting there my dear, and looking good. Going to get it dried up , yay🎉 ! I was sitting here watching you put that pipe together thinking turn it upside down lol , like you could hear me 😅. You done good .
I found your bio/video on "Girl In The Woods". You have amazing tenacity and talent and strength to endure it all. I am doing the same but where the weather is better in Kitsap Wa. A true inspiration your are!!! Subscribed! A+
You are a genuine lady n deserves all the gratification in building your cabin….blood sweet n tears. And stil manage to give 💯 percent smile on your videos. Well done young lady….Girl Power!
*Kia ora (hello) Wow no matter what, you stuck it out to get the fireplace finished after fixing up a few issues with it..... well done you 🙂 But re the roof..... do stagger the ply up on the roof and tape up the joints too..... maybe next summer you can redo it... but first just get thru your upcoming winter months with the snow & rainy season.. If ever in doubt about building something... do a G search... or better still.... look at videos online... so much info out there now... 🙂 kia kaha (stay strong) and keep on being safe ok 🙂nz*
I am impressed. You are a strong woman. Your late husband(or husband to be)is watching you from above. Your souls will be together again. Good luck to you. God bless you.
Well done your smashing it. Please go back on roof and roll all your watershield edges so they are sealed. You can see some bits stuck up I'm worried water with get under it and rot your boards. Be fabulous once your metals on. I can't believe how much you got done absolutely fabulous 🎉🎉🎉
Fabulous job getting dried in and heat to help dry things out! I'm glad you stayed safe with all that heights work! I agree with the others who say to stagger plywood (next time) and add cross pieces between the studs to prevent bowing and movement. I love your beautiful door and windows. 🎉
Mid 80's, North Bend WA, I built out house and roofed it during a record breaking year for rain.... and it rains a LOT in the Pacific Northwest anytime. Sometimes ya just gotta do what needs doin'.
Awesome job! I love watching your mind work through issues, you always solve the issue. But at least you are smart enough to step back and problem sovle instead of pushing through it and making a huge mistake or hurting yourself. Stay safe and cant wait till the next update!
At approx 12:45 where you're putting stovepipe together, the upper pipe ALWAYS slides around the lower pipe!! Point blank, period! Otherwise you WILL get smoke inside structure! BTW love you're progress!! For one person, ever with building experience, you are doing great!
In my cabin, I did as she so the creosote runs into the stove and not down outside of pipe. The smoke all pulls up the chimney since it is hot (heat rises).
I feel like your stove pipe needs to be a bit farther away from the roofline maybe its the camera angle but better to be safe maybe put heat shield inbetween roof line and pipe? You are amazing i know your husband is proud and smiling down on you now❤
Looking nice. Before you going any further, spend some time and Google. Most of the Americans forget to make a ventilated roof (and walls). Start to add the metal drip edge at the bottom of the roof ( best is under your membran). Try to add a 2x2 vertical cut so you get a wood looking as a triangle, this you add UNDER the waterproof membran you just install. You install them on the 2 short sides of the roof so no water/condensation water get contact with the panels on the sides that you add later on ( good ide to paint them before you put them up on all sides. Before install the metal roof you shall install some wood vertical so the water/condensation can ran off so no wood stop the water to go down. After that you install the wood horizontally and this is the one you screw your metal roof on. Now you have a roof that can breathe and the water can go out at the bottom. Condensation starts when cold and hot air meets and you do not want that in your walls/roof framing and insulation. Install the insulation and end with a plastic moisture membran on the inside and tejp all endings well.
Man, you could tell that was frustrating and tough...nice work and good outcome! Keep working hard, we all know you will and are cheering you on and watching excitedly
You have alot of years of living left. Haven said that. Your home will last alot longer with blocking between rafters/roof boards and put a few blocking between your walls. It strengths it too last 50 × years.
Great job..one thing I noticed is the roof boards "rafters" seem to wobble,when you were lifting plyboards..should they have like a cross braces? I am so not a builder and know you have done a great job..but that just worried me..happy you got the "must get done" ..done to be warm and sealed tight...CONGRATULATIONS!
Great job on the roof.Enjoy your channel ever so much! I bought one of those black stovepipes last year for my woodstove too.The put together kind for the first time and the last time ever.I had the same struggles on installation as you did so you are not alone on that one! 🇨🇦
Not too long ago I found your channel I just want to say you are one hell of a woman to do what I've seen you do. Sorry for your loss but life goes on as you are doing .Stay strong i know you will be safe lovely lady keep your videos coming please
I really admire what you are doing here building your own cabin. There are time during the video were I wish I could jump into the video and help you but we know that can't happen. Looking forward to seeing the next video.
I just want to tell you, you are amazing!!! 🎉❤ I'm constantly asking myself how in the world you are doing what you are doing and by yourself!! I would love to have those skills that I see in you! So proud of you 🎉❤!
Girl, you are the bravest woman I know of!!! Even more braver than any man I know! Your place is looking Sooo good! You must be so proud of it and yourself, and you should be! Love it! Love your personality as well! 💕✨
Don't mind me because I haven't got a clue, but is that thin sheet of plywood going to be strong enough to hold a snow load? I know metal roof is going on top. I'm just interested, and you are amazing.
You are definitely determined and Ambitious and so much more than you know..always know there are people who are willing to help you succeed..be safe and you have my complete Respect
See how the boards are bouncing you are supposed to put support pieces of wood in between each roof long piece of wood, putting about 4 or more to make it more stable and safe. Maybe get some advice because when it snows it will be heavy on the roof and you need as much support as you can get.
If not, it's going to collapse.ive built 2 homes in my lifetime and am waiting now to get my inspections done to build my last and forever home, and I'm 60 😊
retired contractor here from Maine.yes its called bitcha thain cuz of its difficult handling when hot..it sticks together and dont come apart.you got luck it was cool out
Love the black trim. So pretty and modern looking . Great job. The term is used in the midwest also. You could cripple the rafters from the inside for extra roof joist strength. Snow and ice are incredible heavy. I think that might be standard building practice. Also remember pine burns super hot. Take care. 😊
WOW ,very nice job , your determination is awesome , I like to use the word (Exasperating) , I enjoy seeing you creating the dream , as you live it , keep Rocking on Sourdough Kid
You are awesome doing it by your self, you have come long way. Just a small comment, and probably it's too late already, but next time you layout flooring, walls or sheathing on a roof with plywood, you always lay them out like brick on a wall, so they will give more strength with winds and movements around, specially in Alaska where there's a lot of earth quakes going on. Never make a single line placement of plywood all lined up, there's a tendency of collapsing more easily than the other way (brick laying type). Good luck 👍 keep it up. Blessings.
Looking great I hope you get some nice weather to get your last few projects done. It’s gotta be a good feeling to be dried in and a fire going in that wood stove. Keep up the amazing work and looking forward to the next video. Hopefully the ground won’t be covered in snow.
❤😊 I Love your videos I wish I was there with you to help you and to pass all the tools to you and then make you a nice coffee or tea and look at all the work you have done Brilliant there is so much Love gone to this house well DONE xxx😊 4:58
You're a very strong and determined woman!
Windows look great
You’re doing an awesome job. I would recommend adding blocking between the ceiling joists as the joists seemed to have quite a bit of movement in them from what I could see when you were lifting the ply on to the roof.

You Rock!!! 🎸🎶
Awesome
Excellent work!! Everything is turning out perfect!!👌🏻😎 strong work!!!!💪🏻
I have nothing to offer you except words of encouragement! You are doing a fantastic job! We are all so very proud of you!
The plywood on the roof makes more of a solid job if it is staggered rather than seam to seam ! Just sayin that's the way it's usually installed.
I hate to say it because she isn't afraid to do the work, but I have seen so many poor construction techniques in these videos all I can do is shake my head. I have to ask where she is learning this stuff from?
That was my first thought but it’s her house.
Hi we've just found you and we're loving your videos! Your husband will be watching and I'm sure he'll be so proud! Keep up the amazing work and loving the sawmill fantastic!! Much love from Scotland ❤
Congratulations dried in and now heat too… awesome!
You have such a good work ethic, I really admire you. Just a couple of suggestions. First, you should stagger the joints for added strength and also I hope you will add blocking to your roof rafters to give it more strength and increase rigidity.
You never cease to amaze me 👍. Please be safe 🙏.
staggering the sheets gives better strength on the rafters
I just found your channel. You are one motivated gal. It amazes me some of the comments that are posted. I’m wondering if they post them to be helpful, or just to diss a hardworking woman.
Keep up the good work.
Great job getting dried in.Oh my goodness I kept on wanting to reach in to my screen and help you out, also trying to tell you to turn that pipe around, all I can do from NZ. You did so well with no help, You worked it all out in the end, good job.
I was yelling at my screen "turn the pipe over"😆
I only learned that the hard way myself🤣
Installing the damper is a bugger and she did a great job.
I agree with Gary you need to put some support between you ceiling joist stagger them out to give the roof strength.
Agree with the accolades from everyone , and I also like the front door.
You are getting there my dear, and looking good. Going to get it dried up , yay🎉 ! I was sitting here watching you put that pipe together thinking turn it upside down lol , like you could hear me 😅. You done good .
Thats some SERIOUS PROGRESS in this weeks episode... WELL DONE!!!
I found your bio/video on "Girl In The Woods". You have amazing tenacity and talent and strength to endure it all. I am doing the same but where the weather is better in Kitsap Wa. A true inspiration your are!!! Subscribed! A+
Rough work but you need to put screws on every single rafter 1’ apart and then the wall sheathing as well!
Rock star🎉🎉🎉you did it!!! Dried in😊
You're amazing!!
Awesome! Dried in and stove install. You rock

Wrong, male end down to prevent creosote from dripping down the pipe starting a fire.
In my cabin, I did as she so the creosote runs into the stove and not down outside of pipe. The smoke all pulls up the chimney since it is hot (heat rises).
Great job on the roof
Awesome work as always.
I’m happy for you, getting it dried in.
Thanks. Pray to Hesus for guidance
DRIED IN❗Like the flat black windows & door👌💚 Congratulations of your stove/chimney-HEAT‼
Congratulations on the huge milestone of being dried in! Remember, with the roofer's safety harness - it only works when you wear it And anchor it.
It just Amazes me at what you have a complicated in the time you have been there. You are doing a Wonderful job.
Well done, not an easy job for one person.
I feel like your stove pipe needs to be a bit farther away from the roofline maybe its the camera angle but better to be safe maybe put heat shield inbetween roof line and pipe? You are amazing i know your husband is proud and smiling down on you now❤

Great progress!
Not sure if you have codes to build by, but, you should have staggered the plywood seams. Also, hope you plan on some blocking too.
Huge progress! Love seeing what you accomplish - an inspiration!!
Catching up.
9:27 Bituthene is a brand name for a waterproofing membrane AFAIK.
Wow! Great progress and looking forward to seeing the end result! You are living the dream!!!
Heat great!
7:45 ehm .. doesn't each staple add 2 holes to your ice & water barrier????? Or will you be taping over each staple?
Wow you have come such a long way. You keep on keeping on. It's looking awesome! Be safe out there.
As usual, an amazing job. You keep yourself safe up there! It's good to see that you had your harness on all the time 👍
Fantastic job!!! So happy you got everything dried in.
Great the fire can dry everything out. Congratulations
Amazing, you must such a sense of accomplishment.

Greetings from a Spaniard in Scotland, well done!
