      @TheOliveBoyzz that's so nice of you! I am trying to figure out an easier way so you don't have to send across the border. It's so expensive.

    For cutting the roofing you can turn the circular saw blade around and cut it easier than I grinder I would think.

      @markcarscadden8421 yeah that's what Jason was going to do initially but decided he was going to use the grinder instead. I think that's how he did it last time on the A-Frames

    We are thankful for getting our solar up and running. We did it in steps 1) the batteries and inverter charged with generator 2) solar array. Do not put the solar in the house, inverters are noisy. We went with two EG4 6500s and 24 650W bifacial panels. Powers everything, 220v well pump, two upright freezers etc. If you get a inverter and batteries you can store power until finishing, then run generator at a single set time as you complete,

    That's probably a wild cranberry! We just found some on our land, my son squished it and told me it was a cranberry based on the smell. Turns out he was right!
    Yay for a day of forcasted rain that turned into a cloudy productive day 🎉 Love seeing the progress.

    Good idea installing the headers but considering how small the cabin is, it probably wouldn’t make much of a difference with the snow load. The span is very minimal so installing the headers was probably overkill but better safe than sorry. You guys are rocking it out.

    I am late, as usual which hopefully will STOP happening soon lol.
    I had to pause to lookup that plant. It looked like a fig to me too. I took a pic of the screen to use my app. According to the app, it is a "Nodding Trillium". It says it's a perennial herb.
    It's amazing how the hammers always disappear. Tape measures too lol.
    Whooo hoooo for the roof and windows!

    You need tarpaper under that metal roofing.
    It will sweat when you get heat in there and drip on your ceiling.
    And put plastic after insolation

    • @lorettaandjasonoffgrid
      @lorettaandjasonoffgrid  2 месяца назад

      I always thought tar paper was for shingled roof. I have never seen someone install with metal. In fact our 160 year old home has no tar paper and we have no issues. Thanks though, will do some research. Everyone seems to have a different way of doing things. Cheers!
