The shop is coming along and looking good! Houses were built with plank roofs for many many years, with no problems. Those spiral nails hold like nobody's business. It's dang near impossible to pull them out. I can't imagine you'll have any trouble. It's super cool that you're building with lumber you milled yourself. I know it's more labor but I'm guessing you saved quite a bit of cash by not buying lumber.
@@thehappychiselllc thank you. I'm much further along I'm just behind on my update schedule My old man's house is 99.99% rough planks. The only spot on the roof that's plywood is where the porch joins. The settling ripped a gap so we put plywood there to tie it together. Hasn't moved sense. Oh its absolutely a ton of work but the result is beyond worth it. And yes those nails hold strong! The floor was built a few years ago and hardly any nails popped and it was fully weather exposed And yes I saved a ton! If I discount the cost of fuel for logging equipment, the blades and upkeep, I will have spent less than $900 in raw materials.
