We are insulating the roof...in a HAILSTORM no less! We wanted to take full advantage of the log cabin's beautiful cathedral ceiling, which is why we decided to leave the rafters and barn board sheathing exposed from the inside. This meant we couldn't insulate from the inside. Our only option was to place sheets of foam board insulation on TOP of the roof. In addition, we also laid the strapping in preparation for the roofing steel.

The Outsider has been a joyful journey and a truly wonderful labor of love,once you start following the exploits and heartbreaking stories that go along with this amazing construction you won’t want to stop watching until the very end. Kudos to the Outsiders!!!
Awsome!!
I am glad you are wearing your harness. My neighbor just fell through his shop roof he was building. No harness. He is alive but in a lot of pain.
What a labor of love. Memories working with your dad that you'll never forget.
Pray your wife is doing well, love drone footage , of the beautiful fall colors, here in Tennessee leaves are falling already, not much color, not like past years, always glad to see the progress you and your dad are making on the cabin, hopefully will have metal on before snow, be safe .
Truly amazing. I have watched your build since the beginning. Any one who wonders why it has taken years not months to build needs to go back to the beginning and watch the tremendous amount of work that has gone into this build. All this done in your spare time. And of course one can never forget the unending support of your father. Memories even for future generations to venerate. God's blessings to you and your family.
This channel is amazing. Your camera angles and placement puts you above the rest. Drone footage and editing is top notch! Thank you for taking the time and effort to make that happen!
That looked exactly like a bottle of red wine
The cabin is looking great guys! There is no better feeling (when building) than to get the roof completed....especially a steep roof! Anxious to see the metal on👍
Been watching from the beginning this is one strong nice cabin well done what i like from this build is the father son build money cant buy that you are a good son for your father i will give anything for that i am 65 years old
My friend I most hope that your wife and child are doing well. God bless your friends and family that make your family complete. Keep safe God protect you and Dad while doing what you both love. We love watching
GOD BLESS... 👀YA
Thank you my friend. We are all doing well. We've been enjoying the crisp fall weather, going on a lot of walks together, and taking in the colors. God bless!
Great episode, as usual. Never gets boring. And those colors of the Canadian fall are an amazing sight. Thank you!
Hi Midei , The colours this year were the most brilliant that i have seen in a lot of years!
Thank you! 😁👍
Thanks for the compliment. I've been a roofer for 26 years now it definitely takes a certain breed of people to do it day in and day out. But as the old saying goes somebody has to do it. I have been watching your videos since the beginning of the cabin build and I would like to say your doing an amazing job The cabin looks great .You have definitely gone above and beyond to make it a comfortable home for you and your family. Your friend from northern Ontario.
What an amazing roof line, I love the steep pitch, it makes the whole cabin look perfect. I am so pleased to see your father so healthy he can climb that ladder, I broke my back on January 2rd 2020, the first bone I have ever broke in my life, at 60 I fear I will not be climbing any more ladders, God bless you all and thanks for sharing this build with us.
Thank you. 🙂 ...So sorry to hear of your injury though my friend. I pray that you mend quickly, and completely. God bless.
You never let us down.. such a work of art . That baby is going to be there for several generations, just imagine how many people will take refuge under that roof. God bless
Saturday morning coffee, relax with a new Outsider video. Perfect start to my weekend. Love and hugs to you and the Mrs.
Cripes!! the colours are beautiful over there this time of year.
The autumn colours are absolutely glorious to behold.
As someone who spent every single weekend (minus July 4th) putting on a metal roof since March til end of August with my Dad I can truly relate. 👏 Bravo
Unbelievably beautiful out there with the leaves seemingly at their peak. God’s creation is incredible. You two never cease to amaze me. Your collective talent and patience will make for a cabin to be enjoyed by generations in your family. God bless you both and your family. Please stay safe and keep these great videos coming. Looking forward to seeing the first video with all of you celebrating inside that cabin by the fire.
That's going to be video to have with a chill glass of champagne, to celebrate the new home.
Thank you, for the aerial view of the foliage. I've missed residing in the North. Also, thank you for being so precise, in your presentation and explanation, of your task. I rarely comment. God Bless.
Just a thumbs up for your very responsible use of PPEs and a fall prevention system. Too many guys have been killed or paralyzed falling off of roofs because of pride or the need for speed. Good going! They may not say so but your family appreciates it.
The foliage is incredible this year. And that cabin looks amazing.
From what I've seen so far....this will be one of the best built log cabins out there...this will be enjoyed by your family members for generations to come...BRAVO!
Man, that opening drone shot - totally worth the watch from that point on. Make sure you let DJI know what you are doing with their hardware. Continued good fortune to you and yours - looking forward to the steel.
Much appreciated my friend. 🙂
Very smart choice! Can’t hide the beauty of the craftsmanship inside!
The scenery is just stunning, especially for those of us here in SoCal!! You and your Dad are incredible builders!!! You had me swooning a few times there, Good Lord!!! You off the roof means I am too!!!! Haha, your high def camera is just a bit too....ahhhhhh!!!!Thank God you had the harness on. I think watching you today was scarier than at any other time.
Hello I only been watching now for 3 or 4 days I did see your wife show I am 70 years old can't build a thing but I am stuck on watching your show I think your fantastic you make me want to do that GOD BLESS you and all of your family I can't wait to see the final step
Always enjoy your building projects especially the narration: clear, concise, and informative.
Great job! Good to see you and your dad work so well together. God bless.
I use to have a Massy when i worked on farm many years ago but i had the 35x and as your so good at building im thinking you should build a tractor shed to keep that lovely thing snug as a bug in your winters,glad we dont have winters like yours here in UK.Loving your videos and your attention to detail.Brilliant well done.
A brillant happy little tractor ... I also have fond memories as a young boy.
Nice to see you read our messages even though we don't get an answer. Good man keep up the good work and when can we see you sheet the roof?.🤪
Wow, your Weather Man was correct lol, right. It's not what the Weather Man says, it's what Mother Nature wants, and she wants to water her garden. Great video, log home coming along. Sending much love and lots of prayers for you and your beautiful family. God Bless.
I just love watching you and your dad build things ❤. Memories are the best.
🇬🇧 The overhead views of the trees are wonderful. The colours are magnificent and reminds me of an October holiday trip arounď the Thousand Islands. Crickey, it was the coldest day I've ever been out in as we opted to travel on the top deck to facilitate taking photographs. Take Care. 💖💖
Another great video. My 4 year old daughter follow your build. Some day maybe we'll do a project like you and your dad!!
This is certainly one of the best produced videos, and expertly crafted workmanship I seen in years. Thanks many times over.
0:57 Flying a Mavic and a tractor at the same time? Tried kayaking and droneflying, and it can be pretty INTENSE! But here you got trees and stuff to watch out for...EPIC! 🙌 Good work. Love seeing the cabin coming together step-by-step. Thanks for sharing man.
Very satisfying progress almost weather tight👏👏👏👍, drone footage those autumnal colours are amazing 👌reminded me of when go into a tv showroom and they have a UHD demo screen playing for the customers. You got that for free for rest of your life Bonus!😉
I love watching your build, but I rarely have occasion to laugh while watching. Today, the tuck tape down the chimney hole got a full rolling laugh, mostly because I can relate so well!
One of my favorite RUclips channels! Well made, scenic, and educational.
I'm hoping the steel will be here before the snow Flys.
Thanks again for a great viedo ,I'm with you my hat tips to all the people that work in high places.A note to your Father (Your An Awesome Dad).!!!!!God Bless all .
Thank You Sydney,
I couldn't agree more. 👍 I have an amazing dad! 🙂
You’re doing a great job with that roof. Also very glad to see you wearing your safety line while on the roof. Beautiful fall forest colours around you. The greatest danger for you might be in town with this pandemic. Best wishes to you and your family.
It’s so peaceful to just listen to you work. I glad you don’t do tons of voice over. It’s a beautiful place to put your home
I’m very interested in the roofing you chose. Light an efficient could describe it. Thanks for sharing another autumn colour parade with us. Never have I seen such beauty!
It's like building a wooden freezer, but inside out. Makes sense considering the winter weather you guys have. Plus it saves on future work chopping wood for fire.
I hope the journey continues after the build. I truly enjoy you and Sr O and all your doing! Happy you were able to do this before the snow! Be safe. God bless the O fam. 🌲🪓🔦 ( hope you keep spare dry clothes out there)
A fantastic way to start a Saturday is to see you and your Dad at work on this amazing cabin. When you first started laying the foam board, I was nervous about how you would get the top layer on. As always, you and your Dad are incredibly resourceful. Glad you both are safe and blessings to you, your Dad, your wife, and children. This is a work of love - you will love it for generations, and I love watching you accomplish it.
A few people have mentioned a concern about ants getting into your foam insulation. I can suggest a borax paste mix. Mix water and borax to a toothpaste consistency. Roll the paste onto the foam board before putting down the metal. The borax will be eaten by the ants - taken back to their colony, given to the queen and ultimately wipes out the colony. This is the best way of keeping ants from going after the foam. Borax is safe to use around people and pets. Just an idea - God Bless!
Good to see that safety harness again! It's wonderful watching the cabin take shape. This is by far my favourite construction series on RUclips. Thank you so much for sharing your process with us!
The fall foliage is beautiful in this episode. The drone footage looked like a flower garden.
Looking good Friend!!!! Good luck on having the snow lay off for both you and your Father!!!! Hope your wife is feeling good!!!!!
I want land like this. 4 real seasons, beautiful forest, all kinds of wildlife.
That roof will never fail. Has enough layers, that's for sure.
Outstanding! Have been watching your efforts since you laid the floor beams. You are making memories with your Dad. Also think the photography is simply beautiful!
Roofing is no easy task but when its finished it's a pat on the back well deserved. Steel roof and cap but dont forget you still will have to go up on the roof to side in those dormers. God bless be safe. Jim
Ah yes, siding the dormers while on the steel. 😅 That's a future challenge I'm not looking forward to.
Thk you my friend its good to see u n ur dad at it n doing a fabulous joy keep d faith my brother.keep safe.
It is so good to see you and your father getting that roof on before the weather gets real bad. The way you are doing things are perfectly done don't ever let anybody tell you different, yeah sure there are other insulation board options but come on now it's not a whole lot better than what you're using. I would say by the time you get that roof on there you're looking at probably in reality I would say a 200-year roof I know the metal has a 50-year warranty on it plus all the extras that you are throwing in with taping the joints and actually doing the whole Roofing ice guard pretty much says it all. A lot of people would probably say I'm crazy for saying 200 years but I'm telling you what I have seen the old galvanized metal last over a hundred years. I hope your family are all doing fine, my health has gotten a little bit better as they had changed my medications around a little bit so things are helping thank God. I know when it comes down to the bottom line that is the only reason why I am still around. He has plans for me, he always has had plans for me that's why I have lasted this long believe me when I say that to you. Anyway all The Outsiders stay safe StayWell and as always God bless.
Good explanation on the condensation. I did the same style roof 40 years ago on our log home. Warm air from the home hits the cold underside of the metal and condenses. Under certain temperature and moisture conditions the condensation can be quite heavy. You shouldn't have any problems with how well you've done the installation.
"Good thing the weatherman said there wouldn't be any rain"
Yeah I like to call them the weather guessers myself.
He put the Jar with the frog indoors, hence the inaccuracy.
That's why they call it predicting the weather and not telling you the weather.
😄 ...Shows you how hard nature is to predict, even with today's technology.
@@Gord1812 To think they get paid to be inaccurate. One of the most useless professions. If you want to know what the weather is like, just step outside, right? Can't change the weather anyway.
@@RealityUntold farmers often rely on weather predictions and it is better than guessing when you need to know the weather this week. But so much is instinct and prayer.
Well done. Your thoroughness will make this a legacy cabin for generations to enjoy.
So close to being done. Not this year, but next Christmas you should have the whole family comfortability at the cabin.
...and what a day that will be! 😊
Man, I still love them creative camera angles you get! It's been a while since I last saw one of your videos it's amazing to see all the progress you made. Keep up the hard and great work!
Nice job, exactly how it should be done when insulating that way and the underside of the steel roofing will also stay cold when there is snow and not form any ice dams.
Great job Mr & Sr Outsiders!! Beautiful opening and the Cabin is coming along great, well done lads!
So awesome. That's a ton of work. No swearing seems like it's not even real, lol.
Ma Pan piękną dykcje i mówi takim innym fajnym akcentem amerykański. Lubię oglądać Pana filmiki jak budujesz ten mały domek w lesie ze swoim tata super sprawa. Serdecznie pozdrawiam i oglądam dalej, bo jestem ciekawa jak będzie domek w środku
This is how I'm going to do the roof of my own log cabin. I've only just started decking the roof in boards. Thank you for continuing to be an inspiration.
Brings back memories, bad ones!! I did a similar roof alone on a timber frame cabin I’m still finishing. 12/12. 34ft, wide 19ft eve to ridge. Galvanized. I put 2 layers of 2” rigid and 1” between straps. For close to a 20r. I had my ladder on a 45 degree anchored in my truck bed. Great work!!
Getting there. Hopefully you can get the final layer on the roof before the snow flies
I pray for you every time you are on the roof even though I never see you the day you are really up there. I helped my dad and fell off a two story building it was no fun. So I will be glad when the metal is on and you don't have to be up there any more.
seeing you cut that chimney box without gloves was nerve wracking
Job well done! The Fall colors are unbelievably beautiful. Thanks for wearing your safety harness.
Pirates love that foam board insulation. It be on account of its ARRRRR value.
...dumb dad jokes. all i got left.
i laughed
@@LibertyDankmeme I cannot confirm or deny if I did as well
Mark ye calendars me hearties, "Talk Like a Pirate Day" be September 19th, tho feel ye at liberty to torment yer wife and young'uns every day o' the year.
@@MajorSeventh lol
I laughed 😂😂😂😂 repeating myself ARRRRRRRR Value
Wood prices here in the US have went thru the roof since March. You made a very wise choice in buying your portable saw mill.
Laughed my butt off when your dad made the three pointer, lol.
The land where u chose to build is some of the prettiest land I’ve ever seen!
Beautiful opening. The white 'roof' looks very different, it stands out.
Great decision to show of the interior rafters, work of art and craftsmanship. Love watching the pieces and angle cyst match up spot on, you and your dad make a great team
Did anyone else wince every time the insulation made a noise? 😂😂😂
I couldn't handle it... it was terrible
Yes, for me it's right up there with squeaky chalk on a board and touching cotton wool.😬
The tape and the sawing....a different kind of ASMR 😂😬😂
@@chrisformby3039 Or eating a Dixie Cup (vanilla ice cream and orange sherbet) with a wooden spoon!
Yes, I felt nausea. I don't know why sounds like that make me feel sick.
It is incredible to see all the evolution of your work and all the ups and downs that your family has gone through and surpassed ... you and your family deserve everything ... your mother is sure to be looking out for everyone and blessing you all... accept a hug from Lisbon, Portugal - EU
Anyone else see a bottle of red wine going through the woods🤣
Yes
I thought I was seeing things lol
Yes, my wife commented also, and we had a bottle open, we thought we were seeing things, we were.
I don’t know if that what I would have seen without your warning, but once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it.
What time mark?
Wonderful video you and Senior Outsider work so well together!
Your doing a great job, Should you however finish the dormer sides prior to installing the steel?
The opening shots of the fall tree leaves is magnificent photography. Thank you.
I see your weathermen are as about as accurate as those here in Texas.
Texas was easy to forecast. East Texas hot dry, and windy. West Texas humid and hot. LOL I miss Texas, and Upper Michigan.
Only job where you can be wrong 50% of the time and still get paid
@@bigunone If only they were wrong half of the time. 85% fail rate in Iowa.
@@etheroar6312 I was being kind, in NM the only thing they can get right is the wind will blow
Weather is very unpredictable in Texas, as in it's always changing! Common motto in Texas is, "If you don't like the weather, just wait five minutes and it'll change!" LOL I've had to switch back and forth to heat and A/C several times in the past few days!!
I gotta say ... I LOVE THAT IDEA!!! beautiful workmanship!!! I may use your technique when I build mine!!! Wonderful stuff man!
Any concerns about water collecting on the lowest horizontal board at the bottom of the roof from the condensation you spoke about earlier?
Great question! I added "skips" in the bottom boards to allow water to escape. Moisture also drains underneath the boards easily enough as well.
The Outsider never seen this type of way of do the insulation. Interesting since as you say, it displays the inside. Just curious about the condensation. Will be a lot of heat at the top creating water running down. Best thing would maybe be to have ridged insulation boards that let the water run down freely.
Great job! Its a not only a labor of love, but a labor of cash! Glad you're getting so much money from these!
Everyone keeps telling me there isn't much R value in 2 inches of styrofoam. I just keep asking, would you rather live inside a cooler, or a plywood box, in the winter? LOL
Styrofoam has a pretty darn high R value! not as high as celotex but that said, it's got a great R number per dollar
You’d better hope there is never a fire, that shit gives off toxic fumes. It doesn’t meet code in many places.
@@the_original_skytiger Blah blah blah. Of COURSE I hope there is never a fire! Who 'hopes' there is a fire in ANY home? Every home out there, including yours, is loaded with things that are going to make a fire even more dangerous, with toxic fumes.
@@selador11 I'm telling you, this is some nasty shit. don't say you weren't warned.
@@the_original_skytiger Ok, Karen, we are warned. What is your expectation? That we will tear out all our floors, walls and ceiling, and replace the insulation with something else? Really? Or are you just being an arse because you are on the internet, and you feel important when you do so?
So beautiful how you rolled across the colorful waves of the trees. It's like a rainbow. I love fall. We have mostly pines where I live. It's silk beautiful with pops of color but God has truly blessed the land where you live with such beauty. Thank you for sharing. Funny how it's calming watching the trees and that tractor and watching someone that has started on a dream build. Its one of my dreams to build well help build myself a cabin.
And there's me wondering why a bottle of wine was going down the track at the start.
Whatever the weatherman says, you can just about bet the opposite is gonna happen! Great video. I love watching your work. Well done!
Called nailbase insulation. Sure would rather have seen a 2 layer system and overlap joints. This eliminates vapor drive. Being a metal roof at least you wont get shingle rigeing from vapor drive. I worked for mfg of nailbase.
The Beauty of Gods Creation! The Canadian Fall Colors are Awesome!
I’d like to contradict the old saying that Christmas is the most wonderful time of the year. Fall is hands down the best season/time of the year. Before all the “basic” stuff like pumpkin spice lattes, that feeling of coziness, changing leaves, harvest and Thanksgiving makes home and family feel even more special. Seeing a cabin in the middle of the woods during fall ices the cake for me. It takes me, and I’m sure a lot of people, to a place of mental solace and peace.
so I am through all videos in this playlist within a week. I want more. It is so relaxing watching and listen to you. Thanks for sharing all this with us.
We insulated dads A frame with foam board had a large problem with ants and insects. Did some recharch foam board losses a lot of its insulating due to insect damage.
Came here to say this. Carpenter ants will nest in the stuff, if they can get in.
Yes, I'm removing my foam board from the walls, it was full of ant tunnels, I would guess about 7 nests in just one wall. It also trapped moisture in and rotted out the wood underneath. This was due to a roof leaking over many years.
Anyone try PIR commercial foam, fire resistant unlike blue stuff. Band building yearly with diatemaceous earth to keep the ants and insects away.
How well you and your dad get along, just fantastic.
Insulate the outside walls on the dormers. You will appreciate this later.
I will be really glad when you get that roof finished too! Makes me on edge watching you guys work up that high!
You are going to need a “cricket” above the chimney to avoid snow and ice problems.
Kevin Harding, won’t the chimney just be a round stove pipe coming up thru the roof? The square chimney box is just to keep the stove pipe away from anything flammable.
The insightful planning, and execution, is a pleasure watch, and learn from.
Looking fantastic. Nice that you are showing the interior structure long term.
Mr Outsider, you continually amaze me with your expertise, attention to detail and your love of nature. I was feeling for you when the hail was plummeting your head but then...God's beautiful sun appeared and the vibrant colors of the gorgeous Canadian Fall came shining through. As usual.......what a blessing you are. Continual prayers for your daughter and your beautiful wife. God's faithful healing on her.
