You need to catch rain water off all you roof surfaces and even off your solar panels
Andy H
May help with water problems
Riley, I appreciate the way you do endorsements after real sustained use proves the item’s worth. I just ordered the ‘ECOFLOW Pro” but your code didn’t work. I’m not off the grid but do have enough property that having portable power will really help, and supporting my fridge and freezer during outages will be a real help.
Actually relieved to see you endorse EcoFlow again. Given your use of other battery/backup/generators, I was wondering if you'd changed your opinion of EcoFlow. I got a River Mini based on your reviews, and I've been thinking of going with EcoFlow products instead of Tesla Power Walls (very expensive) for our solar roof.
@@michaeldye4318 that was so weird. But I tried again today it worked! 5% off was not bad
Pro tip. When you first lay out the roofing tin predrill the holes through several sheets while they are stacked together. You only have to line up the rows on one sheet then drill. I have found that 8 to 10 sheets at a time works great.
They tend to follow @rrbuildings techniques, he advocates against drilling roof steel, concerns about the shavings scratching the metal. He does drill wall panels. Im not saying I agree but that’s what they did on their shop also following Kyle’s recommendations
Oh no, the screws need to go on the ridges
They're right. Screws go in the flats.
They have rubber washers that last a long time to prevent leaks@@Rckid28
Riley - you need to do some simple math when attaching your safety rope.
It won't help you if there's more rope between you and the anchor than you and the ground you're in trouble!
At least you have the deck and container to break your fall 😂😂
Watching this vid drives home the truth of how much having a good partner makes life so much better.
I think my favorite part of this video was the little smile on Oliver's face when you asked what he thought of the building; very cute. The shed looks awesome and Courtney had some great suggestions. Can't wait to see more of what you do. Bernie ❤
Nice job on the build, maybe want to put bird netting on the rafters to keep the nest and mess out.
You’ve created a great space under the 3/12 roof to store your ladders out of the weather. Great work guys, and Oliver makes a great supervisor 😃
And all the extra sawn lumber. Great small storage area.
Without a membrane of some sort when the frost thaws on a nice frosty day it will "rain" inside, I know this as I have a metal roofed shed!!, we live and learn😊.
@@CrusaderSports250 With a pitched/slanted roof, shouldn't the water just shed to the eave instead of dripping down. Plus with open gabble ends the frost buildup might not be that bad. But doesn't hurt to observe to see what happens as whether it's viable storage or not.
@@CrusaderSports250 hopefully the open gable ends there will not be a substantial temperature differential that leads to condensation.
@@jwierengit's the frost not condensation that is the problem.
the bats and swallows will love that space between the container and short roof! Looks good, good luck as winter is getting close!
Cannot wait to see what type of stairway and handrails you make for the new roof deck! Love the shop.
I think a bridge from the nearest hillside would be good, if distance allows
Great fun! Any concerns with that water collecting on top of the one container, under the deck?
Should have painted it first at least
They sit for yrs with water on top of them on ships and ports
Yes, but they dry out in the sun & wind. Different than having the wood sit in the water long term. @@alabastardmasterson
Great job guy's! An Idea; screen off areas under the roof line so you don't end up with critters you don't want living under your roof.
Oliver's well timed smile wins the internet today. :) Great project guys!
If you guys haven’t been told today. Your totally amazingly awesome.
And if they have been told, are they still amazingly awesome??🤔
It was important to prevent the two containers from moving apart due to a landslide. So it was a great idea to join them with metal beams. You were very good, excellent carpentry work.👍👍
they are excellent
I watch RUclips almost exclusively and subscribe to a LOT of channels. I've watched you from your very beginnigs and have now concluded you're my favorite channel.
All of my channels are DIY of sorts but yours stands out due to your family values coupled with your ability to tackle and solve almost any challenge. And, unlike most DIY's, you always do it to my annoyingly high standards! 😊
The way they build is amazing
A tip for making work on a sloping roof safer is to lay a ladder flat on the roof, and secure it by attaching it either from the top or from the bottom to prevent it from sliding at the bottom.
To protect the sheet metal roof, you attach pieces of foam under the ladder with adhesive tape.
It was with this tip that I was able to safely install the sheet metal on my roof with a slope of 45 degrees.
It's obviously too late now, but one way to extend the height of a fork lift is to secure several pallets to the forks and put your load on top of the pallets.
Riley - the short stud walls that supports the large trusses really need sheathing or diagonal braces. It's very prone to collapsing in its parallel direction. You probably know this but just wanted to point out it should be one of the first things done when building stud walls, especially hen they're loaded like yours. Your skills are super impressive and love watching you problem sole. Great job as always!
you could collect a bunch of water from this roof.
As a contractor for 30 yrs. I always Keep a pair of older Vans around for any roof sheeting, metal roof work etc. Vans for some reason have super grip like Spider-Man on roofs that are slick.
Boots will get you a broken hip on those metal roofs
In roofing we have big magnets like rakes that drag on the ground and they pick up screws and nails.
Oliver’s smile at his mom was so precious! Heart melting. 🥰
I think back to the time you arrived with just your camper, and now what you have created. Just amazing. Thanks for sharing.
Sometimes it feels like just yesterday we were swimming in moon dust...
You 2 should put a couple of solar panels on that roof with batteries in 1 so you have power for lights and a couple of outlets to power stuff up and please don't forget to put a rail around your deck for safety
Looks great and keeps the water off one container. I am concerned about water collecting under your container deck. Speaking of container deck..... what about a zip line from the house deck, down to the shop deck, think of all the steps you would save?
Thanks!
The water will definitely be a long term issue, even Western Red Cedar will rot in a matter of a few years when exposed to standing water that's likely to collect on top of the container, especially where the joists make contact with the metal.
Morning love the channel, i noticed you removed the metal cross member at the end of the video, to stop the containers spreading you could but a cable at the base at both ends with a turn buckle to stop the containers spreading. Its true any rotation along their length would cause spreading at the top but, I'm sure your going to be storing material inside of them helping to stop rotation in high winds. Keep the channel going its giving me lots of ideas for when i build mine good luck...
Or even use the same C channel at the bottom between the containers, or just make some long stakes out on it and drive it into the ground 🤔
Great job guys. a couple ideas though you should add gutters to collect the rain water, That roof would add significantly to your reserve. You could have used a cable or rods and saved that c channel for a cooler project
Oliver is adorable and your shed looks great.
Riley you need some serious work on your fall protection anchor point! Most times it looks like you will hit the ground before the rope tensions!
Riley .. you might have already done this .. but I recommend putting caulking in-between the ridge cap pieces. Prevents water from being able to be driving in by wind over time. Awesome build .. cheers.
Awesome addition of a deck.. gives a great access to additional solar collection on that new roof too!! With the deck it will be easier to install and service an array!!
What about rain gutters for rain water catchment system. Are you always talking about having enough water? This could be a back up system to you well? Also you need stairs to the roof deck with rail system is need for the baby and little kids. Build some seating into the rails and wide rail for drinks, eating surface, and potted plants…
great editing as usual guys. and such a nice finished job, the roof, the deck, can't wait for the next project !
Thank you so much! What should the next project be???
@@AmbitionStrikes Next project? Shave that beard- LOL Just kidding how about a cable railing on that deck?
@@AmbitionStrikes Get the new barn area cleaned up and all the equipment in and and then decide on what else no longer wants being left out. Getting the place around the house looking more and more like North Idaho and not a mining camp. And overlay it with a running conversation between you and Riley about what is next on your agenda.
Sand Battery for the Winter months. Along with a passive solar heater heating up the sand.@@AmbitionStrikes
@AmbitionStrikes Great work guys! But, let's get a cable railing on that deck next Spring!
Now you could build "Guest Quarters" in the container with the Deck on the roof so when company comes they have their own space to be.. and safety Railings on the deck of course..
LOOKING GOOD!... Paint a bright yellow or orange color top and bottom of drone.... or put a strip of Reflective Automotive tape bottom and top of drone
Riley, great job with the shallow roof over the second container. It looks great and adds bracing to the entire structure. I also like the idea of getting the water off the flat roof container.
From a former metal roofer, Converse high top court shoes are the absolute tops in grip on metal roofing. On the same note water is your enemy, whether it's rain or just dew, it can make that roofing like grease!
I use the same Converse high tops but have also found that Columbia boat shoes with micro sipes on the sole are very good as well. With the converse sneaker I carried a damp cloth to keep the bottoms clean. They do grip.
Oliver's big smile was the "icing on the cake" 🤗
Rope bridge from the solar panels to the decking would be cool.
That is a fantastic workshop with lots of possibilities to help with future projects. I suggest a waterproof tarp for the deck side. You are going to get a lot of snow on it during the winter. Always fun to watch you two and your clever ideas.
Y'all truly are ambitious & inspirational kudos would be neat to have a zipline or something like the cable bridges that walk through the trees but boulders too tower's utilizing the hills could be super cool as well 😎
0:37 for long term proofing, probably would've been a good idea to sister the section that's over the fulcrum point. Wood will crush in that area over time, and moisture will get in. If you still have access, you can add the wood post factum, you don't even need a full height just enough to spread the load.
That big roof looks like a good candidate for guttering and a rainwater collection system.
I wouldn't have thought that wind vane would work (looks like roughly the same area both sides of the axle), but since it is you guys, I guess it is actually just beautifully balanced. 😁
Great video of the final contruction. You guys have done a great job, even with the acraphobia. You might consider filling in the pony walls from container to upper roof with plywood for shear strength and wind protection. You guys rock!❤
@Ambition Strikes. You can use a chalk line when setting up for your row of screws. Hope this helps
Those Columbia brand (different model) shoes/boots are behaving like new for around 10 years now. Snow, rock, ice, water, mud, nails, anything, they are still going strong.
Needs guard rail man! Love it though.
Great to see so much mud free neat gravel/ stone laid now 👍👍
It feels surreal to finally be spreading gravel in the yard.
If you pre drill the holes in the metal roofing on the ground it’s way easier
as a fellow guy who used to have a fear of heights. That standing on the edge of the roof made me just hold my breath in sympathy. The build itself looks amazing though, i'd like to have something like that for myself when i manage to buy a plot of land.
Love everything you guys do. My FAVORITE part was Oliver's smile. OMG!!!! 💙💜💙💜💙 I'm loving all the comments, too. 🥰 I've got to say that I did feel like I was getting a cardio workout while watching this one 😆 The heart was pounding almost the entire video 🤣😂😘 P.S. I do miss seeing the doggies 🐾🐾🐾🐾
That equipment shed is awesome! Your work is impeccable! having done a few metal roofs myself, I know it's not as easy as you made it look. Great job!
😂I’m focusing on not looking down, but it’s hard because I have to look down!!!!
Riley my boy you did one hell of a job ..the job looks pro you seem to be a handy man you can do it all ..I guess you are blessed ..seriously the garage looks nice and be a dry place to work in plus park the cars in cheers folks I’m impressed ,I can’t wait till you do more jobs on the property cheers 🙏❤️😀😁❤️👍🦘🇦🇺🇺🇸
Absolutely looks amazing! We love watching you two work together! Omg! Oliver has an awesome smile! Look out ladies! Is there stairs to the deck in the future? We love our Sunday mornings with you in it! Have a great week!
I guess you guys missed my recommendation on my last comment. Straighten your stack of metal and premark your screw location on the top sheet. Then predrill the entire stack so you don't have to fiddle with the level on the roof.
That’s a great idea if your purlins or girts are straight and square….one guess on why they didn’t do it.
This isn’t recommended because if you drag that screw hole over another sheet it will scratch the paint. I’ve watched guys that put this up for a living and they don’t predrill, they measure after the sheet is in place. I used hidden fastener 16” wide panels on our roof.
@@Chris_at_Home
Besides the paint getting wrecked,
I was going to say something along those lines.
I’ve been in construction for 40 years and several times guys predrilled and it took only one time a mistake was made and 40 sheets were drilled with the holes in the wrong place. Ruined.
Not worth it.
We stopped anyone from doing that.
Any tin roofer worth his salt can freehand a perfect straight screw line anyway.
And if you can’t it’s time to hone your skills and with a little mocking ( playing pool
after work.. lol) you’ll get it right.
@@henrinaths1 I doubt if anyone on the ground can really tell if screws are off a little.
That smile from Oliver was worth a million bucks
Are you going to do rain water harvesting with all that new roof space? I think you could easily get 25-30k gallons of new water source :) looks awesome and fun🎉
The cones barn looks great. You shpuld think about some diagonal bracing on your knee walls for the roof.That will help with horizontal movement. Mother Nature can be cruel. I think you guys are great. The knowledge that you guys get on line, I could only hope it had been available when I was your age. You guys are on the adventure I had dreamed about. Have fun!
now the last things the big roof needs is gutters to collect some water and ofcous solarpanels 😉
Great video ,I know its for the vehicles,!! but I can see it being filled with all the firewood,!! Maybe Close in the back end, as Snow doesnt always fall straight down,!! sometime it falls sideways, so will fill the back end up with snow. Love the smile from Oliver at the end, soo cute. Will he take over the role of Reckless Riley to Reckless Oliver.?😁thanks for the video Love from UK x x
You need to collect as much water as you can to protect yourselves. That roof will do the job, but think about some collection by any building so you have it as close as possible. A good portable electric pump like a Wakishaw is good to have around 🗿👽🗿
Another way to screw in the roof panels is to stack them and pre drill them all at once while stacked together. That way they all match! For the next roof!!
FYI, You can spray Mountain Dew on the roof to help prevent slipping. But you already have the metal up.
If you ever buy some sort of super old crane, it should just become semi-permanent fall protection for Riley
all good projects need your BLOOD, sweet, and tears.. so its a win! you really put your self in EVERY project...
The old days were back when you were younger, and thought yourselves invincible
That deck would be a great place for a hot tub!! 🎉❤
Suggestions on front side till it settled use a comalong with hooks on both side east to just attach give couple good cranks to keep tension since there's all ready holes inthe corners also can put brace at bottom depending on what ur fill going to be also put small biuld up of something on out side containers to help from moving have the bottoms corners attached with steel like the top back is good fo that just in case ur accendently hit corner with equipment or something my uncle us cables at top during winter first year front back and middle but his was drive through and u have back covered just some added security for cheap thing that removable and use else were cablejacks are great tool .
I like the decking changing direction. Rule 1 of building, Don't bleed on the homeowners stuff. Oliver is just the cutest!!!
Next time you have roof work to do, check out a shoe called COUGAR PAWS. These shoes are designed for a 12-12 pitch roof. They might just be the thing you are looking for.
For some reason, I am picturing a container guest house somewhere on your property in the future. You guys are the BEST !! Awesome video and project as ALWAYS. 👍
I find it interesting that you call it "Gable Cap" I grew up building metal buildings and we always called it "Rake Trim" I find it fascinating how things are called different names in different parts of the country.
Pro-tip. Unless you like squeaking sounds in the middle of the night, fill that hole the wind vane goes in with grease.
I am not going to read thru all of the post, another thing you can do to keep them in place would put support beams on the 4 outer corners into a pier and then you can then keep them in place and you can use the angle to hang things on plants or even lattice. but it is an idea. Great work on everything.
I always hate to see your videos end. You guys do such a great job. I am in Eagle Idaho and my brother lives in Priest River. Maybe we will run into you some day. Great build!
For people who don’t understand the metal on metal roof sheeting is extremely slippery. It is nothing like standing on plywood. Once you start sliding down you can not stop.
Good job guy’s, it looks great. In Australia we screw through the hips of the iron for roofing, it fixes the iron stronger & is not as likely to rip in a storm or cyclone as when screwed through the flats, it is also not as likely to leak as screw holes through the flats of the sheets can, but we do screw the side wall sheeting through the flats, partly so it doesn’t lacerate you if you scrape up against it.
We also turn up the ends of the sheets that are under the ridge capping between the hips & then scribe & cut the hips out of the ridge capping to make a good weather proof seal so no rain can blow up under the ridge cap & enter that way. Cheers
I enjoy watching you work your way through trials and tribulations during your build. You are fun to watch.
if you're worried about marking lines for your screws make sure your chicken boards/skip sheathing is nice and straight on install and just tack everything on then snap lines across the whole thing when finished the chalk will wash off with the rain especially since your using black sheets just use blue chalk its one of the least permanent chalks unlike black
Y'all work really hard.
No news to you, just want to say it comes across in your videos. This project was one on which no replacement was to be found for manual labor. Climbing, measuring / power sawing beams, moving metal, cutting metal, running in screws, painting / staining, moving more metal & driving in more screws. Whew.
Even with electric tools, you two climbed, bent, stretched, stooped - and took care of Oliver. Riley drew blood on the Very Last Screw?
Love the wind vane. Thumbs up on another project done, with a big assist from the Van Wives.
Maybe paint the Drone fluorescent orange? Gray is hard to find between the rocks etc. 👀
And compliments for you eagle eye vision to spot the drone 👏👀😅👍
As next Project you could build a firewood heated hot tub or a sauna to relax sometimes... 😊
You forgot the foam closers on the ridge cap. That keeps the snow from drifting into the ceiling.
Thanks for great content. I’d suggest a rain gutter on the deck side. ❤
Remember. A couple times a century your/our area can get a absolutely HUGE snow load…
Think Mammoth Mountain/Village last winter.
You guys should clear out some space and make a tennis court that's also a basketball/pickle ball court. You definitely have the space and heavy equipment. It could also be used for street hocky and if you put a 6" waterproof barrier around it it could also be a frozen ice rink in the winter just fill it with water. And definitely add rain water collection to your house, container workshop and solar panel array. All that plus your well you would never have to worry about water again. And then add tanks of water around the property with pumps and run electricity to them for quick and immediate fire prevention. And a million other things but at least those for sure.
Definitely need a handrail around the deck. Where snow falls off the side of other roof is going to pile up on the wall of the container.
I like the fast pace of this channel. It's not tedious to watch you complete each project because you make so little mistakes and you seem to know exactly what you're doing. Keep it up guys 👍
So...how does one get up to the deck ?? Ladder ? As yet unbuilt staircase ? Entire project looks great !!!
Container workshop Need stairs to the deck so make easy to remove the snow and railing How about boom and winch system to brin ice chess or Barbeque up to deck
Well done dear friends, well done. You both exhibit the same spirit that made this country.
If one of your roofs faces south, put a layer of clear plastic roof over it with a 6" air gap. Then you can blow air through it on sunny days for solar heating in your shop!
You're not worried about water pooling on top of the containers over the long term? I Love this build regardless, adore it. Have plans to one day build something very similar. I found this to be very inspirational. Keep it up!
I think you'll need to close in the down hill side or back of the building as that will close off alot of the sail area and mitigate potential wind damage. it will also keep drifting snow off the insides of the building...at least from the back... the front being open is going to prove to be a big problem with the snow blowing in, you'll have 6' snow drifts inside by the corners
so be sure not to put things there like fire wood.... thank you for the update ! I was wondering how you were doing on it ! Have fun .. Stay safe !
That smile on your boy, amazing! 🥰🥰
20,000 Views in 60 minutes that's crazy, keep up the good work, love the content.
One fact that people get the idea that the facia should be the same height as the rafters and in fact because of the angle of the roof, the top of the facia actually needs to go just a bit lower so that when the tin is placed it can go by the facia.
On metal roof, I have found that water/boat shoes made by several manufacturers are really good at clinging to slippery metal roofing.
Usually they are neoprene uppers, and their soles are not like regular hiking shoes with cleats etc., they have larger contact areas with fine grooves that are flexible and bend to the shape you stand on. Very sticky on slippery surfaces.
I would mention the maker of the ones I have, but it would probably be seen as spam.
no need to fear the heights or the falling it's that sudden stop at the end that gets you every time fear the stop lol
When I was building my garage my bobcat was a little short to reach the roof, so I just build a dirt ramp to drive up on. The shed looks great!
