I re-roofed my entire kitchen by my self and installed a skylight

- Well, typical of renovating an old house this isn't! Just got the kitchen ripped out and then the roof starts leaking! I drilled a couple of holes into the ceiling and put a borescope up there but couldn't see anything usefull so decided to bite the bullet and planned to re-do the roof. I summised quite early on that the problem would be the pitch of the roof, those tiles are rated for minum of 17 degrees but the roof is 12 degrees, plus the one quarter of the house roof sheds onto it which is probably an even bigger problem.
I got a bit worried when removing all the tiles as i'd started at the far end where everything looked fine, quite well put together actually! But when I got to the house end I could see where the water was coming it, right under where the main roof downspout exits to, so that confirmed my diagnosis.
So the solution was simply to do a belt and braces refit with counter battens which lift the tile battens above the underlay to allow water to flow under, then re-route the downspout onto the gutter, we haven't had much rain since but so far so good!

I cannot work out for the life of me why this channel doesn't have way more subscribers. Honest talented content, no music and no explaining every step of the job. Just a very talented guy doing his 'multiple' things excellently.
He doesn't do clickbait titles and screenshots. That's probably the biggest reason he doesn't get more subscribers. RUclips prioritizes recommending videos like that over quality ones like these. It's infuriating.
When I finished watching, I came down to write the same thing but you beat me to it. Its a damn shame because he deserves 1M subs.
RUclips punishes channels that don't publish weekly or more often. Which means long form, meaningful content like this is disincentived, which is a literal shame.
He doesn’t have what I call a “Google induced ego” = hoodwink as many to subscribe to your channel + automatically click “like”, remind the [hoodwinked] viewers through out the video itself ~ as infernal “pop-ups” edited into the video/make stickers to put on things/equipment seen in the footage. And if enough viewers have been [hoodwinked] Google and RUclips will reward the channel with a golden play button so they can boast of how many have been duped 😡. And with 💰; these videos with “acute ego problems” will be infested with adverts [cashcows] and sponsors to fuel Google’s corporate greed
Simply a greedy RUclips like many "social media" related channels and platforms in 2023 +++
I always enjoy watching your videos. They are so meditative and calming.
No talking, no annoying music, just a video, with original sound and a little text.
Keep it up and keep your style.
His skills are working practices are awesome.
I never get tired of watching Russ work. His attention to detail and the quality of his work is impeccable.
It never ceases to amaze me the knowledge of skill he has in so many areas. I hate to see his videos end !
Dude!! You are the reason why RUclips can be great sometimes. Love the content.
I run a roofing business in Barnsley and i can honestly say that i would have done very little differently. Absolutely fabulous attention to detail. Thanks for taking the time to film it. I'll bet all the setting up of cameras to get the best angles makes it take a lot longer....!! Bravo 👏
Would you use flash band to do flashing around a skylight upstand on a low pitch roof?
Having watched many of your videoed projects, I can say that you are truly a versatile one-man construction company with no irritating music, non-stop talking, or intrusive commercials. Thank you.
Every single time I watch you work your magic I am awestruck! Your craftsmanship and good humour are so enjoyable to watch. I’m always disappointed when your videos/projects end. Thank you for going to the extra work of filming it for us to enjoy.
I noticed that you had several nice lumps of green moss on the roof tiles. Here in the States I’ve volunteered at a arboretum donated by several old-money estates. These homes had similar tile roof structures that used copper instead of lead flashing. Additionally, copper was used as ridge cap material, as well as gutters and downspouts. All copper elements sported a deep green patina. After several inquiries into their use of copper I was “educated” that copper keeps moss and other plants from growing on roof by leaching copper sulfate on the roof during rain.
My mother’s house was located in a shaded woods area and her roof supported an annual colony of mosses that returned after their forced removal. I planned to get a copper ridge cap for her home until I discovered how expensive copper foil was. Not wanting to completely give up the idea a got a several rolls of pennies; the only copper coated coin in US currency. I slid an individual penny under the lower edge of each asphalt shingle along the top 4 rows of shingles. For less than $2 I eliminated the moss once and forever. Perhaps if there are still copper coins in your currency you could add them to your roof for moss mitigation.
Cheers
All the pre-1992 1 and 2 pence coins are 97% copper so would work well for that!
Really nice! Got so much to learn again 🎉
It looks so easy, but to get everything off the roof and back up again is a challenge for body and mind alone😅
I can only work alone, or i get really nervous and stressed out so i can really appreciate your work and the struggles that come with that👍😏
Really enjoy your videos no silly music no rambling about what why and how your doing things just getting on with it
It just seems so insane the variety of skills / ability you possess and what you are able to accomplish all while filming!!!
Even though I live in The United States, I still enjoy and admire your matriculate way of remodeling your house in your country.
I also enjoy seeing how you manage to create ways to get things done by working by yourself like I do. Thanks very much for sharing your skills.
*meticulous. Matriculate refers to completing an academic course.
Believe it or no, that's how I originally spelled it. But the "auto correct" changed it 😞 @@tutekohe1361
Yay! I'm looking forward to the kitchen videos. Ever since your house tour video I've been waiting patiently 😊 i love watching cause it's here in England, you're restoring it, adding you and your wife's personal taste and showing exactly what you're doing all shot in a nice calm way. No bam bam bam voice overs 😅 your family are so cute watching out the window, seeing daddy on the roof 😂
I have only just found this channel, his work is fantastic, now I'll go back and binge watch all his previous work, you can't beat an excellent worker.
I love youtube, and it's because of creators like you. I have watched almost all of your videos and I am always amazed at your skill set. So it's a huge thank you from me. It's a ball ache filming every step of the way, with angles etc
.. but you do it so well. Am just about to embark on big house resto and I wish you were my best mate and lived in Herefordshire 😅. Thank you for all your content. 👍
No matter which of your videos, each of them is never boring and worth watching every single minute
I'm a 23 year old, who has no idea how to build anything, but I thoroughly enjoy watching all you do 😄 keep up the good work
I have watched this channel for years and never cease to be amazed by your range of skills, knowledge and work output.
It must have been a relief to finally be able to walk across that roof after getting a few tiles down. 🙂
Your children are beautiful.
A fascinating journey as always, Russ. I find it striking that I don't have the patience to watch most movies through to the end and yet am riveted by your videos. Bravo! By the way, I love your hat! Reminds me of my beloved Tilley 🙂
Every single time I watch one of your vids. I keep thinking ‘is there anything that you cannot do’. Honestly I do think your a dying breed of people who have an inbuilt aptitude for anything practical. Fecking amazing 😮
So good to see a person not take the path of least resistance, as do so many tradespeople do today. This video was quite a learning experience. Thank you for making these videos.
What about a Steamstopp (Dampfbremse) between the insulatio an the plaster? Because the steam out of the kitchen can set down in the insulation. (Sorry for ma bad english)
@@gudrunasche9124 Agree..! The most steam/moist come from indside and will go into the insolation and create mould.! Otherwise it was very fine building the roof tight..😊
Your house renovation series have been a masterpiece. We would like to see the rest of this unique adventure
I've been watching your videos for a while now and I have so much respect for your craftmanship on so many different disciplines, Thanks
I love seeing people with skills doing their stuff. Subtle and very British humor is a plus. That house will be amazing in 20 years or so.
Brilliant and brave, I’m a confident DIYer but I’ve never attempted a roof job that complicated. Well done 👍
You are an amazing craftsman and I’m blown away by your restoration. I was surprised that you needed additional roof tiles. I assumed that there would have been extras from the void created by the window.
Wishing you and your family a blessed week filled with gentle seasonally appropriate weather and restful evenings together. Peace
There is always breakage in the removal & cleaning & transport process.
I love the serenity of your place, it appears very calm and beautiful.
I watch your videos to relax, when I find time. Thanks for sharing your renovation progress!
This place is going to be awesome when it's all finished
An absolute genius, calmly tripling the value of his beautiful home single-handedly, I love it
Like a silent film; the soundtrack is there but you tell the story through showing and not telling; awesome.
You remind me so much of me, except you are *actually* an expert at absolutely everything.
I know it’s just gutters, but most people do not watch this channel for cheap, quick, and easy jobs mate. Still nice to see the house progress 😊
Thank you for allowing us to come into your world. Butch from USA
sphincter tightening when you were chopping out the beams near the glass with the reciprocating saw! Awesome 😊
Another brilliant video! A hell of a project to tackle single handed, I take my hat off. A bit disconcerting in the new downspout shots where the whole side of the house seemed to moving back and forth while the scaffolding stood still!
Astonishing set of skills in just one person! Even roofing, where I always suck at...
Great job!
👍👍👍
Despite the dis's, I think this lad does a great job on every project he undertakes.
This guy is a beast! He is so hard working, ingenious and massively talented. Hope someone is taking care of him; making him lunch and cooking a nice hot meal at the end of the day would not be amiss! Much admiration.👋👋👋👋
I love watching a mastercraftsman at work.. wondered how you were going to hide the little AC condenser tube.. ingenious!
you learn something every day…today I learned what a corbel is.
I am a sheet metal worker and roofer from Germany. I always find it fascinating how other countries cover their roofs. I'm sure your roof is tight. But it wouldn't work in Germany. Especially with the flat roof pitch, which I now estimate to be 20°, many of your solutions are experimental. But if it works, then it works
Was hättest du denn anders gemacht?

I love his videos, but this isn’t his finest work, and he’s definitely no roofer. This is not how a roof would be done properly in the UK.
I've got to say, tour skill set amazes me every video. You have such a breadth of knowledge and it never fails to turn out Beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Q.I was surprised that you did not install a vapour barrier around the light well, in Alberta that is a must due temperature fluctuation, but still that was a superb reconstruction in of spite of my comment
Looking forward to more of posts 🎉
I don't know about anybody else but when I see a new video in my subs list, I make a nice cup of tea and settle down knowing that I am going to be in awe of the craftmanship on show.
You're a seriously impressive hands on bloke.
Well done 👏
Great DIY job, better than most roofing contractors.
I am not a fan of flashband, but it did the job.
The lap on the tiles was a bit tight, but the original roof felt looked dry so should be good.
Top job.
This video was a delight to watch. Thank you!
Hello, watching your work was a great pleasure. Good luck 😉
This man is a genius, what a craftsman. He can do anything with those hands. He's one of the best I've seen, he's up there with Oliver Bradshaw and Gid Joiner, 👍😁🔨🇮🇪
That was amazing it's like being back at school watching your videos Russ except it's fun. Thanks for sharing.
I always enjoy your content and channel! Watching from South Carolina, USA!!
Always a pleasure watching things being done well.
Best regards from a Norwegian Woodworker.
Phenomenal work as always, I am ashamed I've ever done any work when I compare the standards you uphold, and those that I manage to achieve. I'm just on the cusp of finding your abilities and work ethic inspirational, rather than demoralising! I manage to learn something from every video of yours I've watched, which I'll continue to try and emulate in my own work for my own clients.
Hi! I'm from Russia. I really liked how the problem of tightness between the wall and the roof was solved in the old house with the help of lead sheets, which are embedded in the wall with one side. I have never seen such a thing in Russia.
Точно. У нас так не делают.
Ah the pure joy of an hour long video watching your vast array of talents :-)
As always amazing craftsmanship. You really are a man of all trades. Marc from Belgium
You have such an amazing way of making your highly skilled work look so straight forward!
I renovated a 1920s house in North Yorkshire a few years ago and can sympathise with all the weirdness you find and uncover during the work
Hope your condensate pipe doesn’t freeze - that’s been the bane of my life with this type of boiler (on oil now)
As always, Thanks for sharing
😊
Yep on the condensate but there’s no telling diy RUclipsrs.
wow. amazing to see how many subs you have now compared to when i first started watching. nice work fella. your house is going to be amazing when its all done. quality work.
The work you do is extraordinary. The 'commentary' is EPIC. I concur with the thoughts of others... I can't imagine how you don't have at least twice as many subscribers.
So much skills in the same body is SCANDALOUS! Great post! Thank you!
Hey it’s good to see your back to work on the house 👍
I am speechless 🤐 a one man show 👍 thumb up of course ... best wishes from Germany
58:20 That is such a trippy shot. Since the camera is fixed to the scaffolding, the sway makes it look like the house is flimsy and is tipping back from your drilling when in reality the scaffolding is.
Watches as thick chunk of stone drops out of hole saw... BUT WAIT... there's MORE! Russ proceeds to drill out another mighty chunk.
Man, you don't muck about! Great content and love the house
the descending pipe above, the last one you mounted on the drip tray....you should extend it at least 30 cm, because the speed of the water will overflow outside the drip tray. good job. Greetings
Your workmanship looks very nice! I hope you and your family are satisfied with the improved roof and gutters and especially all the light through that gorgeous skylight!
cheers!
I’m watching 👀 all the adverts, this gentleman is a GENIUS 👏🏾👏🏾🥳
Is there any limit to this man's ability to create, invent, fixture, renovate and repair? I swear we'll next see him hand forging a specialized saw blade from iron ore he mined in his back yard. Amazing.
I'm glad you did the roof ,an ottawa outfit reno'd a 1930 deco mansion,not the roof,water damage had to redo a year mistake
Dangerous watching this channel, it gives me ideas and makes me think I can do this stuff.
Wish I could.
Awesome video, as usual!
It's always a treat when I see you've posted a new one - thanks very much! 👍
Refreshing creativity, punctuality and endless patience. 👌👌👌👌 As always. Really good to watch. Just a note: There's a chance that the water from the big roof will overflow. The lower gutter could have been made with a larger cross section. 🙂🙂🙂🙂
I’ve watched all your videos on the house progress and can’t wait to watch your brilliant progress.
I have watched your other videos which are also excellent.
Talent at its best.
the skylight looks amazing. well done on the roofing work!
It sounds like the leak happened at the perfect time. If it was earlier then it might have caused damage to what was in the kitchen and possibly forced you to do the renovation before you were ready. You wouldn't want the roof to leak just after finishing the kitchen renovation and possibly destroying some of your wonderful work. If you were going to have a leak in the roof it was the perfect time to have one.
Well done Russ. I would never attempt something like this on my 90 year old home because I am too old and unfit. I do love watching a true craftsman though.
Excellent to watch as always, and I always learn a tremendous amount each time. Thanks for posting Russ.
What can I say? Your skills are extraordinary. I'm utterly impressed. Chapeau!
Hi, from Texas. Wow! That was a lot of work and it was a pleasure to watch you make it seem so simple.
Glad to see that you're still alive!😂 Great video and, as always, such an array of skills on show. You must have some strength in those arms, at one point it looked like the whole house wall was moving🤣 _(I know the camera was attached to the scaffold)._ Thanks for the upload and I shall look forward to the next one.
Amazing job Russ. Thanks for sharing.
You forgot the old "That's not going no-where!"..😁🤪🤣🤣🤣 Great work 😉👍🍺
Only if I had 1% of the talent you have. I can watch you work all day long.
Ah the egg shell skim plaster ....don't you just hate it. As a sparky I've come across this a few times when you want to cut a small hole for a back box and it cracks 2 metres across the wall.
Spectacular workmanship ❤
A master of so many crafts. A true craftsman in every sense of the word.
What a wonderful and meticulous job again. All this mental thinking to finally achieve it!
Thanks for us to be able to watch this 😊
Beautifully executed, and superbly photographed! I don’t think I have seen you scowl so much before, though!
The tiles look great on!😊 Who knew there was so much going on underneath!🎉
Indeed an epic undertaking. Greetings from Hinsdale, Illinois USA.
Maestro!! Sos el claro ejemplo que con paciencia, conocimientos y ganas de realizar las cosas no hay obstaculo alguno que nos detenga con respecto a nuestra metas. Gran trabajo, mis felicitaciones. Saludos desde Argentina.
Dude your skill set is amazing, lovely work
Brilliant work. I could watch forever
Your work is great to watch! You do everything with incredible accuracy! Very well renovated roof! I'm waiting for more videos! Greetings from Poland!
The comedy is as good as any I’ve seen on RUclips. Work’s not bad either.
One of the best DIY channels
Did not expect to understand a whole lot more about roofing on this Saturday morning, so thanks for that, also, omg your kids are so cute. Cheers dude, another awesome vid
I just learnt at least three new things from watching this video! Thanks!
