Easy answer to Evon's tree
Happy Wife. 🙆
Happy Life. 😊
Amen!
Man, that view at the end.
It's amazing and never gets old. Can't wait for the rear deck so we can enjoy that view in comfort.
Hallo Yvonne,
herzliche Grüße aus Deutschland!
Es ist sehr schön zu sehen, daß auch in der Neuen Welt Traditionen aus Europa gepflegt werden. Ich hoffe, daß es nicht nur einen RichtBAUM, sondern auch ein RichtFEST gab. Danke für Eure inspirierenden Videos.
Hallo Julian, liebe Grüße zurück aus Arizona!
Ich finde diese Tradition auch sehr schön und keine Sorge, natürlich gab es auch ein kleines RichtFEST. 😉😁
Vielen Dank für's anschauen!!
Glad you brought up the “German Thing” ... I was wondering why that tree was so close to the house and why I hadn’t noticed it before. 😀
Well it's gone now. It's meant to be a symbol of good luck and safety for the building.
@@theupsideofdownsizing that’s a cool tradition! I’ve heard of Bread & Salt but not a tree. Could you please write out the German name for the tradition? I couldn’t visualize the spelling when you said it in the video.
Richtfest is the "celebration" / Richtbaum is the tree.
Great video. Y'all are great at this. The narrator is really good. She must be an excellent boss (mine is too).
Your work and determination continue to impress! Yes, get a crew together and get that roof done to protect your investment asap!
Looks like a bit of rain and snow even until Tuesday evening next week. We've got the house wrapped up but come Wednesday morning, it's full speed ahead. I'm thinking the two of us can get it sheathed and underlayment down in 3 days. Metal should be here Saturday or Monday.
Because of ur channel I have now started to consider a straw bale house thanks for the amazing vids keep them up such a beautiful property y’all have
Nice job done on the roofing boards. Not to bad of price for the times we are in. Everything has doubled in price. Keep rocking my friends and have a great safe weekend!
Don't tell the roofing company but we had expected something in the price range of 2500-3k. I still wish I could have convinced them to see the value in sponsoring our roof. Oh what great CZcams exposure it would have meant for their company.😉 Have a great weekend!
Great job, as always and thank you for sharing.
Thanks Daniel!
I'm so excited for a roof! Its going to look awesome 👌 wow that view!
Thanks so much! We can't wait to get this thing dried in. 👍
What a view!!!
That is a great view. Ours is of Hueco Tanks. It's our front yard. We really love y'all's videos.
Thank you 🙏
Ouch. I guess a roof can be labeled a big ticket item during a build. Great work handling the cordless skillsaw to do those cuts Bill. Impressed here for sure. I think the view at the end showcased your property in a way I havent seen before. All the best with your continued build! - Don
Thanks Don. We had an idea of what the materials for the metal roof would cost, and when I researched other options for a low slope roof, like EPDM and rolled asphalt, I thought the total cost of metal along with it's durability and ability to reflect heat, was money well spent.
Yup, nothing comes cheap but I totally agree with your color choice and reasoning. Great job on the facia and I look forward to how your rain conservation works on that roof. Oh, btw, the cob on your solar shed and the sculptures on it have withstood the weather quite nice! If it worked for the indigenous tribes in the desert areas for so many years, it was bound to be time-proven, eh?
Thanks for watching and your comments! Yes, we do have our cobb and earthen plaster mixes dialed in. They've survived the weather now beautifully. We honestly don't even think about whether they'll survive the elements or not. They will.
Looking good! I wish i was out there giving you guys a hand. Your clamp work is impressive, too!
Thanks Jon. I'd be lost without my clamp collection. The "3rd hand" that doesn't talk back 😉
looks great and have a great weekend as well. stay warm ands dry as well
Thanks! Just got done wrapping up the house for the next few days of possible rain and snow.
Now thats an interesting sky at the beginning.... & the end ;)
Agreed. Love the sky in Arizona. (az resident also) we may not get much rain out of it but it make up for it with the clouds, sun sets, and sun rises.
That was really unusual! I grabbed my phone and scrambled up on top of the box beam to get some footage. Well, scrambled as quickly as an old guy can "scramble" that is. But I got it 👍☀️
@Alex Johnson While working in NYC in the 80's, before Photoshop, we flew out to Arizona to do a photoshoot just for the sunsets. Nowadays they just drop it in in post production. No thrill in that. ☹️
Looking fantastic 👌🏻
Thanks! 👍
Hopefully this weather will get better soon. It’s been 🥶 chilly.
I know, it's time for Spring already. ☀️🌱
Great View
Excellent video
Thank you!
Looking out my window at all this snow up here in Flag and and a little rain in the desert seems awfully appealing. Good call on the white roofing. 👍🏼
Plenty of space here in Cochise County. You could become an inter-state snow bird! We had no intention of doing white panels and in fact, spoke only about light stone as the panel color while dealing with the salesman. But as we were leaving we decided to look at the rolls of metal out in the production yard. Then went back in to change over to white. The difference was crazy even between the white and light stone.
@@theupsideofdownsizing Growing up in the desert of Blythe, CA (on the AZ border), white roofs were the norm. Reflects that heat away from your home! 👍🏼
Wonderful progress. I didn't realize the many steps to roof prep. Gives extra meaning to "keeping a roof over our head".
Agreed. That's why we went with metal. Doing it once and hopefully never again. At least on this structure.
👍
👍👍👍☺️
Cool looking build! Yeah metal has gone up a lot the past few years...
It has, but I did a cost analysis with EPDM as well as asphalt shingles ( l ommited asphalt rolled roofing because I don't like the way it looks) and the metal roof, while perhaps 10% - 15% more in cost, looks better, is better for rainwater harvesting and is, for me at least, easier to install. It also stays cooler than the other materials.
@@theupsideofdownsizing Agreed metal roofs are great! Even if they do cost a bit more... you get what you pay for and like you said better for rainwater collection too!
I'm pleased you put the 2nd plank on, safty 1st ;)
Yes, and I have a healthy respect for heights. In fact, I were to show me working at "actual speed" when up on scaffolding, it would be like watching paint dry 🤣. I move slow and deliberate.
Thanks for watching!
Hey Bill love your videos. Your house is coming along quite nicely.
Question; it looks like your hay bails are load bearing, are there any vertical posts taking the weight off of your walls? Just curious, rock on ! It looks really good .
Thanks for watching and your question. They are actually straw bales and they are indeed carrying the weight of the roof without additional framing.
Haha I'm reserving my standing first....
Hold on, let me watch first before committing further.
Bill you're working flawlessly with steady progress.
Love how it comes along...
In my wildest imagination I saw Yvonne coming on the back of horse and taken away the German thing along with your ♥ heart.
Love you guys.
Thank you as always for your comments. 🙏
I agree the price of wood is ridiculous.Studs have gone up from 1.50 to almost 5 dollars
when i start a construction project i am always by myself, it sucks i have no friends lol
Something I do with my fascia boards that isnt the norm..
I join them with a 45° cut between rafters
And back them with a second 20+- inch board behind to screw them to
That I put a 45° cut length wise to the bottom
so you have to look to see the backer board
I've never liked joining two boards together on a 2x4.(1.5 inchs wide) especially if they hang lower than the rafters
But that's just me...
Sounds like a solid system. I'm ok connecting them on the 2x6 rafter tails. The connection might not be the prettiest, but the facia will be mostly covered by our gutters anyway. Thanks for watching and your comments!
Good choice going White. Thats what they do in Australia
I'm not exaggerating. Those white panels were the ambient air temperature which was about 55 degrees Fahrenheit whereas the other darker panels were probably 80-90 degrees Fahrenheit. Next time we go out there I'll take my laser thermometer.
Should get a lot of rain capture off that roof.👍
We spoke with Handeeman the other day about gutters and placement of a tank. We want to capture water for irrigation at first and eventually for the house, so it'll be a project that gets worked on in stages.
We love watching your channel. Concerning your choice of white for the roof; we understand it may be cooler come summer time but you said it is not visible. What about when you have friends fly in by chopper to visit ? LOL
Keep up the great work. It is very inspiring. We have a bit of property in NW Nevada and would love to do something similar, just on a bit larger scale. :)
My friends with helicopters wanted the white so they could find the landing pad easier. 🤣
Thanks for watching!
@@theupsideofdownsizing Do not then forget to paint the large "H" on the roof then. Thus making it a proper helipad. LOL
Regarding difficulty in getting good lumber: sustained low interest rates, sustained work from home = record housing starts - highest since 2006! You're competing with the professionals for building materials!
In Darwin we have Colorbond aluminum facure boards!
I'll have to check that out. I'm not familiar with them.
@@theupsideofdownsizing We have termites in Darwin so a lot of metal is used!
Cool tree Yvonne! Was that just a branch or a plantable tree?❤️✨
Thank you. It was actually from a large Agave that recently bloomed. This stalk grows out from the center of the plant and blooms. That is unfortunately the end of this plants life cycle. It's a beautiful way to leave this world though. ❤️
The scaffolding might be easier to move if you DON'T pile the lumber and tools on it first! lol
It be even easier to move if the wheels didn't sink 4 inches in the sand. It's like trying to push a shopping cart on the beach🤣
at the end of the video, am i seeing strapping seals on the straps, or did you just tape down the tail ends to be out of the way? are the buckles sufficient to not creep and let out slack over the years?
thanks!
What you're seeing is duct tape holding the tails down so that when we plaster the walls they don't keep flopping out on us we wanted to leave a little extra length on the tails just in case we need to go back and readjust any of the tension. Good eye!
Bill forgive me if I didnt catch this one but did you go with a heavy guage metal roof? When I had my shed to cottage constructed I had the option of going with a heavy duty metal vs less dense a material. I chose the heavy duty.
The 26 gauge heavy duty panels, also known as PBR are typically used in construction where the roofing is attached to purlins, hence the need for the heavier gauge. Since we are attaching it to sheathing, the lighter 29 gauge will be sufficient.
@@theupsideofdownsizing excellent. Thanks.
Did you check out second hand metal roofing? Is there a way to do adobe roofing? Could you do a pebble roof or crushed glass? Oh boy...I hate those big ticket items...
We don't like the price either, but at least with a metal roof it'll out last me. We had a house in Savannah GA with a metal roof 105 years old!
At 9:24, why do the trusses look to have different spacings ? Aren't they on 16" centers ?
They are 24" OC with the exception of the last 2 on the east side of the house. They are somewhat closer together due to the overall length of the house.
Can you share who the roofing company is? And does the copper penny look like a traditional copper roof? Thanks for any info! :)
The copper penny roof does indeed look like a NEW copper roof, but of course would not develope that beautiful patina that comes with time. I grew up in a house that had a small, old copper roof over a bay window, and it was beautiful.
@@theupsideofdownsizing I would love to do real copper, but it’s a little expensive. So if I can find a copper-look locally? That’s the goal!
