Unless you seal the edges on the roof. Water is going to seep through when you’re driving it down the road and stay in between the steel roof and your wood roof with possibility of mold. Because there’s nothing to dry it in between the steel roof and the original roof.
I sealed it a while ago with the white tape stuff.
I hope to see you caulk,all your seems and around your trim as well.But what a great job and the tiny home is looking amazing. Wtg Becca😊👍🏻😊
Keep going. Your learning and making memories.
Nice job! Caulking is needed on seams around windows. Are you concerned about water getting in behind the metal, between the sides and roof?
You did a fine job, young lady. You can always paint the roof red. I liked your choice in stain. My only suggestion would be to buy a couple more boxes of the self tapping screws and really go over the seams. Going down the road, it will incur more wind than a normal house. Can't wait to see ya fishing and camping out of it.
Great point on extra screws. That stuff will start rattling loose and you do not want that!
If you want to trim the metal on the roof properly, get a tool called a nibbler. It is made for cutting across metal panels. The only thing you need to be aware of is that it cuts little nibblets of metal that will fall to the floor of the trailer and possibly the ground. So you will want to put down a drop cloth to catch them. Otherwise, add more screws to the seams as other people have said. You can also get a strip of foam that is shaped like the metal and use it to seal the edges of the roof metal and above the windows. It will stop rain and bugs from getting under the ceiling metal. But for a first time metal worker, you did a great job!!
I think you should build out the decking area by the front door.. stained the same red wood color.
It could be a fold out deck that you latchup for the drive...
Great job, Becca, on the redo of your tiny home! You are just SO awesome with doing all these DIY projects!
You see the result in your mind’s eye, and then are able to create the reality of it. 😊. We’re all very proud of you, so give yourself a round of applause from us!! 💕
I just stumbled onto this video and I do carpentry for a living and I’m seriously impressed. It is awesome and inspiring seeing a young woman like yourself not be intimidated by learning some new skills, processes, and techniques. You are doing an awesome job! Some of the people commenting were talking about space for the roof to dry out behind the metal. When we put put a metal roof on a house we lay down a couple rows of wooden strapping about 2 feet apart, the strapping is 3/4” or 1/2” but it provides an air space between the metal and the plywood that is covered in ice and water shield or roof wrap. It is just an air space tho. As for cutting the metal and flushing up the ends, if you want to do it quick I always just take a circular saw and put the blade on backwards and then it will cut metal or vinyl siding like butter but please be careful and hold on to the saw, but it is a very efficient and effective way to cut metal siding or roofing or vinyl as well. Make sure to set the depth On the saw so that you don’t have more blade than necessary out. Great job keep up the great work!
12:58 Ahh great idea with the tape!! Saves time with the pens and you KNOW it's gonna be STRAIGHT!! 👍👍 ...ok back to it! 😊
I actually like the green roof. It looks more nature like and blends in with camping and such. Looks great Becca. :)
Hey Becca awesome job on the tiny house it looks really nice with the wood trim and the metal siding makes it look like professional job. And you are getting really skilled at building , working with tools and putting it all together. Great job. Congratulations. Thanks for the video.
The wood looks nice!
Hi Becca, I haven't added a comment in a good while, but I just had to this time. Girl, you did an amazing job! You just keep getting better and better on your projects. Can't wait to see winter camping in the tiny house. I wish I was fit and young, like you to build by my own tiny home, but I'll definitely live my adventures through you and your awesome videos. Take care and stay safe.
The tiny house looks absolutely great. I like the metal siding and the green roof. If you really have your heart set on a red roof, you could always paint it red. ❤️😊
Camco Camper/RV Vent Insulator and Skylight Cover. I use them in my rv skylights with damprid moisture collectors and they work like a charm.
While I doubt it will leak much, I would caulk the seams around all windows. You may have, but I missed it! Additionally, for all screws, caulk them as well. Water is so good at finding the opening! You did amazing! I was thinking this while i saw you were working!
Just make sure you seal around all the edges of the wood and as far as the metal hanging off the sides you could just fold it over put the wood on top and re-screw it in just to have more protection around the edges
Hey Becca! Love the tiny house. My husband works with airstreams and he said the sheet metal will help with insulation. Thanks for the awesome content.
There is a metal trim that laps from the side over the top and you can put that on the way around and you wouldn't have that sharp. Edge all the way around and another thing is, it'll also keep water from the bar and the wind blowing under and ripping your roofing off.It'll block all that off
Looks amazing!!! Have you ever thought about a built-in bed? I’d love to have something like this. Great job as always!!!
Looks great! Suggestion: sealing the ends of wood is key defense of weakpoint. I am not surprised people are watching you drive bg...going to be great for your trips! And really upped the cuteneas of the tiny house. Love the suggestion someone gave in comments of buying plastic inserts that fit along edge of curves and roof, to defend agnst rain and bugs on the road; to add to confusion, keep in mind some venting is as impirtant as sealing for mold protection. Travel strong! Looking firward to next adventures.
_For the roof, you could get those shears and cut sections inward ✂️ Then bend and screw down the metal._ *The tiny house looks amazing.* 🤘🤘💯💯
The tiny house looks amazing. Long loop handle tin sheers tend to work better than straight snips.
Becca the tiny house looks amazing girl, another video from Becca, just what I needed ❤ say hello to Lila and skye for me
Pool noodles attached with zip ties could make a cool and colorful band around the edges of the roofing material.
It’s beautiful I love it. I love the metal siding.
Love this! So I just found your channel and binged watched several vids and subscribed. I’m so excited too because after spending MONTHS watching similar content with mainly men doing the things… well let’s just say ur my new spirit animal. I love it!
awww that makes me so happy!!! welcome to the channel, i’m glad you found it :)
Amazing job becca!! ❤
A $20 angle grinder from Harbor Freight and a pack of cut off disks.
I used it to trim up the roofing on my cabin and a well house. Works so much faster than snips and you can go across the ridges easily.
Really good job on the trim and stain! That green is also the color I used on my cabin!
Love your videos,invest in a grinder for future projects,it cuts through metal like butter
For future projects when cutting metal siding, you can use a skill saw with the blade turned backwards.
I recently used a circular saw with a diablo blade from home depot to cut my metal roofing. It cut super clean in both directions.
If you ever work with Corrugated Roof Panel again. T square works, but use a cut piece of panel, lay over piece to be cut, mark & cut.
I've been enjoying your videos.
Actually you remind me of an older version of my grandbaby.
I dig the new tiny home!
I live outside of Durango Colorado.
I own 2 acres of land fully off-grid a mile snowshoe back onto the mountain top in the winter and on one acre I have an RV.
I have several great fishing lakes around me, one of which is located in a subdivision below me which no license or fee is required to fish on for the residents and it guests.
If you ever get a chance and get this way You're more and welcome to park and enjoy the area.
Safe travels!
😎✌️
We used to take a electric hand saw and turn the blade backwards and cut aluminum years ago ! It was noisy but it cut !
Hi Becca
Old RV tech here
You need rubber membrane for your tiny house
Go look up local roofers who do rubber membrane work and they always have cut offs
Even if you had to do your roof with 3 strips if you have the rubber overlap the edges and then use trim with buttel tape and that baby won’t ever leak
Good 👍🏻 rebuilding mini trailer house Becca. Next time make it float on water with an outboard motor.
Omg so much work. Crossing fingers on no leaks. Love the look of it. Great job.
Sup Becca, looks good 👍, bought a lot of right things, there's a special caulk can use on seams, isn't cheap but works, when good weather is remove the roof, let wood dry, and use a roofing rubberized coating after seal seams, ten replace the green panels and caulk the seams, the edges can get a grinding attachment for that osculating multi tool? If not for that brand then an angle grinder, there's different discs. I know I have them or did? Been giving everything away because of health, I can't use anymore. Ik have all 3 sizes nail guns, boxes of nails in different sizes, compressor, every air tool can imagine, acute off tool would've cut that fast with no blisters, think have left handed snips still and I used right handed most.. wish would've raised basement months ago, but know all air tools and most all electric tools still there, and what's in the tool chest still have... Be watching, NY was nice👍, tyvm tc 🎣
Great job girly! Seem like we kinda grew up the same way, with an absolute passion for nature's most wonderful adventures. So super proud of you for owning the damn thing!! Your great good luck and be safe.
Side grinder with a cutting disc. Could help with your edges.
They have like glue strips you put down under the metal to seal the ends. Also you might put some caulking on top of the roof where the metal meets. I know they over lap so maybe you don’t need it.
But if you put solar panels on it, make sure you put like angle aren't on the side bolt through and then go up in the air and across with your crossbar, that way, when i'm being bolted in the side and you put beetle tape around them, you won't have any leaks
It looks awesome! You did that woman!!
A Sawzall with steel cutting blade a few clamps and a 2x4 will cut everything fast and can cut 10 sheets at a time so the job is way faster and safer plus no blisters and silicon the ends of tin or leaks will diffently happen I know by living in a tin shed for 5 years and I'm getting ready to move back into it and do a bunch of upgrades in spring when I have money to by all I need about 1200 and scrap
Beautiful build i really love the tin with stained wood look i am going to do this on making privacy fence thank you for video i love to build also ' enjoy your tiny home love it
The tiny home looks beautiful! I worked in construction for many years and one project was a covered patio and the owner wanted corrugated metal like you used. We used the same type of screws with the rubber seal and unfortunately it leaked a lot. we had to either caulk each screw or screw the metal in on the high side of the ridge, not in the valley of the ridge. Idk if that makes sense. Maybe the elastomeric paint will help. I have also seen where elastomeric paint will trap water in between the building surface and the paint causing a bubble and keeping the water trapped. These issues were on large buildings and homes so hopefully it won't happen on the tiny home. sorry for being a Debbie Downer.
Tiny House coming along nicely Becca
Looks nice, learning skills is a lifetime experience, so keep at it, you are doing great 🙂. When cutting metal, if there is any chance of shards, lay down a catch cloth or tarp to keep your feet and your cut doggie's feet safe. You might experience some wind resistance on that roof while you are towing since you made the ridges of the metal run left and right rather than the traditional up and down (or in this case from front to back with the roof lines) which most efficiently drains the water from high point to low point of the roof. I can see where you would not want the wind of towing to pull up the metal edges while driving down the road if you had placed the metal front to back. I you ever decide to rework which way the roof metal is running, I would bend the edges of the metal down on the front of the house so the wind would not place an upward force on them and would instead place a downward force while towing. I can't tell if you added a ridge cap to your roof, but I hope you did to help keep out the water. You might even cover the entire roof in the sealant tape you used around the vents, the advantage of a cozy space is being able to "overbuild" on a tight budget. Again, nicely done, way to encourage others to get out there and just put in the effort trying out new things. God bless 🙂
Since we use corrugated (galvanize) sheets to cover our roofs, so I know for sure when I say you should have layered the pieces over each other. Makes it more water proof and I hope you did use the corrugated kind because it helps with the rust.
I just bing watched the entire project! Sweet job!
Better get you a couple screws in that tin on the sheet by the wheel wells or if the wind gets under it will rip it off. And also they make a piece of ridged foam to seal the humps on the edge of your roof. Just loosen the screws slide it in and screw it back down. Good luck 👍 looks good good job
Caulk and silicone are great for home use but not movable dwellings, you could go through 3 major temperature changes in a days drive, what you need for sealing cracks is called sekaflex
It sticks better than any silicone
You can only find it in RV shops
Check the date on the tube, it has a shelf life and it’s not cheap
Dang! You go Girl! So Impressed!
I would have tended to tar paper the entire building and seal it, including sealing the seams and the screw entry points. Overall it looks great. Great job, Becca keep up the great work.
So proud of you great job
The only thing I can recommend for you is to get an angle grinder Matabo brand or Milwaukee and use a cutting disk to cut all your metal much easier and less cuts on finger . But great job you will be a great builder one day
Heck ya. You crushed it!
The metal is cool looking, but it's a heat magnet, which in the winter will be ok but not in the summer. Flashing and Thru The Roof poly sealant will fix the water leaks.....
I would use a 4 inch angle grinder then seal the cut edges of the metal with paint. Looking good to me.
It looks great.
Nice Build Becca ... You Need A Hanging Disco Ball inside to top it off. Nice Build
The green with the stained pine looks rad dude 🤙🏼 keep it up!
Looks great hopefully no more leaks looking forward to the next one!
Looks great! As long as you're having fun and you like it, that's all that matters.
Gloves... and reinforce your seams where the metal comes together with extra screws. a gust from a semi could catch under one of those seams... Looks great though.
Wow Becca beautiful house
Amazing job, love the wooden accents!
Good morning Becca, Leila & double ear rubs Skye ! What an amazing job on the upgrade ! That look really sticks out ! I hope everything works the way you want it to, eager to see what adventures are coming our way ! Safe travels & keep smiling !
Cutoff wheel to cut the sheets and a flap disc to sand the rough edges.
Nice! DIY Becca😊
Hey love your video's and fishing camping I love doing stuff like you do.
Looks great!!
Love the new look.
Looks awesome!! My favorite!!
BECCA POWER!!!!!! HECK YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!
looks really cool with the metal on there good thinking its nice 👍
I loved seeing the update you made. It looks much better.
Also, it looks amazing!!!!!! Love it!
Looks great! love the look. Doing it yourself definitely makes it better. Cuts do suck from that but battle scars of learning lol
Heck yeah proud for you ,it looks great.
Looks awesome becca always enjoy your videos keep it going
That darn rain!
Girl : You Did a Hell Of A Job. And It Look Awesome
pop ya a line on that tin and get a old skill saw blade and turn it backwards from the way you cut wood and boom. cuts like butter. wear eye and ear protection though. its loud but works perfect
Becca, you have inspired me to coin a new term: "awwthentic". No, I did not misspell "authentic"; do bear with me, please.
"Awwthentic" as in you are AWE-some... genuine, kind, and compassionate.
"Awwthentic" as in "Aww, ain't she freakin' adorable!", and...
"Awwthentic", as in you're an authentic, genuinely decent person.
Awwthentic!
Hi Just resently found you. YOUR AWESOME!!! Thanks for sharing your adventures 💜
Angle grinder with a cutting disc 🤘🏼
Angle grinder with cutting disc
Love it, ❤ you did great girl 👍🏼🥰👋💪😉 it’s adorable, so much fun to camp in 👍🏼
It look awesome! Good job! 👍🏻
Good idea that looks awesome thanks for sharing ❤
you can also get metal cutting blades for your skill saw ( circular saw ) and that works well also. love the looks of that tin
Be carefull about wind whip with the over lap from the front should overlap the next panel and so on front meaning the hitch side
I love the new look. And, I was thinking you could incorporate the green somehow, and BAM, Done ! So cool. Thumbs up from S. California.
I love the green roof with the redwood trim! Good job!
10:42 Becca flicks us off LOL. I HATE using tin snips. Luckily I can use air tools at work.
Becca, you should put a bead of weather proof caulking where you overlap the sheet metal. It will help waterproof the seams.
Like the new color
That turned out really nice ❤❤❤
Its looks soo good!! Proud of you 😊
Don't you just love all the construction lil rhody is gracing us with! Uggggggg
Getting my daughter at tg is so fun lately!
I’m speechless with that area right now. it’s so frustrating!! I can’t imagine having to go to tg everyday through that
It looks great hope it's not to noisy in the rain,as long as you stay dry
