Lemme just say a BIG thank you for uploading daily whilst also tackling building a house. I love watching your progress and have become obsessed with watching other home building youtubers.
I have watched both of you since the very start of your journey, and I can tell the mental toll this process has taken on you. It pains me to hear that it is hard to find the joy at this point, and that you are looking forward to the Big Breakthrough... simply because the progress you have made is absolutely stunning to date, and the joy is still all around you to be had. Try to step back for a few minutes each day and recognize how fantastically successful you have been to date, and what an impressive force you are together. You ARE doing what you have DREAMED. Not many of us can say that. Will keep watching until the last piece of furniture is in, and will look forward to your endeavors thereafter. All the best! Pulling for your continued success all the way from Atlanta!!
Slog away! You've got 386k people signed on to follow you through this! We're rooting for you!
I know it's too late, but CHALK LINES! One horizontal to set the top edge of the cleat at the eave (no messing around with string lines that can be moved around), and one vertical at the inside edge of where the first panel goes. Measure when you don't have a panel to contend with.
I'm curious what kind of ice breakers they plan to use. You can't have a roof like this without some kind of ice restraint/breaker down at the eaves, otherwise a falling sheet of ice can kill someone.
Anna came through again in a time of dire need. I'm looking forward to when you guys are helping her build her dream house.
The best part about building your own home, is that you know where every nut bolt and screw are located. You have also made all the critical decisions on your own nobody told you exactly how to build your home. so own it, I'm proud of you, this comes from that very old man who's built many homes congratulations keep up the great work.
I love the real ness of your videos. You don’t edit out all the crabby times. That is real life. It is hard work and emotions will run high. Keep going guys.
Having been in the housing trades for year`s all I can say is I sometimes question your methods.But blown away by your effort!
I can't go to sleep anymore till I see how your day went! I've watched almost all your videos now - routing for you! #inspired
This first roof panel was installed on August 29, and the west side of the roof was completed on Sep 1. The east side was started Sep 2, and completed Sep 8. This CZcams video is about 6 to 7 weeks behind. Jon
Hehe, you put the edge piece up crooked, knew it was crooked, tried to correct but couldn't, accepted that it would remain crooked . . . . . and then squared the roofing to it. Hehe. Speaking as someone who has installed a metal roof, you'd think they lock together, but there is definitely movement that you can get, maybe a 1/16th each panel, but you can easily correct for any initial squaring errors (or lose square a little bit each panel).
I am mainly just giving you a joking hard time. You guys are definitely being more precise and building a higher quality house than all of the builders that you might hire. I think you're doing a great job. And, as an owner builder myself, I can say that you'll get crap from everyone the entire time. Just keep on keeping on, you're doing great.
For cutting the metal, you are using red handled snips only. Try green handled snips as well, the handle color means that one cuts "right", and one cuts "left". Might make your life a little easier, every little bit helps!
You all consistently get it finished and done right. Looks great in the end and it seems rock solid. The start of each new part of the process might be ugly and stressful but you two analyze, learn and figure it out as a team. It’s your time, your house, your investment. Who cares what the critics might say as you progress. Your gaining more than a home debt free. Your gaining experience as well that will translate into so much more in the future. Keep it positive and keep doing epic things together.
Very gutsy of you to document your mistakes. Congratulations for attempting things over your head. How will you learn otherwise? Who starts out knowing everything?
Love seeing Anna there helping you
Don't think of it as two days of problems. In reality, it was two days of education to do a job that most installers would spend a few months before they get good at it. A few years later they are experts.
You've done great. You've done it in very little time, and your results will be great. All the critics are spewing theory at you, and you're out there where the bullets are real. That makes you the winner in this equation.
I must say that I really admire your tenacity and perseverance! I love watching and support you both, keep on sometimes the joy is in surviving and looking back at what you’ve accomplished, keep on keeping on!
you need left and right hand sheers. you have to switch back and fourth between the two depending on witch side you are cutting on. so when you are cutting the end of the sheet to fold over you can get right up close to the rib with out much trouble.
Oh my it looks amazing Jessie and Alyssa. I know Anna has been a God sent helping You two out its good to see her again. Hey Anna you all keep up the
good work
Great job as always. Don’t listen to the critics. You do you. Love all your videos.
I totally understand the stress factor you are under. We too have taken on a major construction project, going on 2 years now. We are on. Steep slope with a river at the bottom. My husband and I are doing all the work. Supply stores are 30 miles away. And we have 2 kiddos, one with health issues that require me to drive her 6 hours one way once every few weeks to see a specialist. And we work full time. We just finished putting our second metal roof on this year, on the second outbuilding we built this year. Not to mention I painted the 2800 sq ft house and the existing 2 stall garage. I totally understand how frustrating living under construction is! I respect the fact that you both are still finding ways to connect with each other. Keep up the great work! You are both troopers! And Anna, what a blessing! 👍🏻
I know it is hard but you guys are doing it. You are doing what few non-professionals have accomplished. At the same time your support of one another is half the reason to watch these videos. What a couple, who have good communication and support can do together is nothing short of astounding. Can't wait for more. Keep up the good work and positivity.
I admire your determination, both of yours and both of your confidence in working at heights.
Your sister is such a hard worker !! Glad your project is going well keep it up
Ive been following you for a while now, that is a beautiful house there. there is something to be said for building your house on your own, knowing where every nail and screw is and all the wiring and plumbing is is real satisfying... here's a hint for you with the roof material get a pair of green (right) and yellow(straight) cut snips it will make the hemming easier.
keep your chins up, you are doing great!!
We all have an off reality view of the build because of the difference in the actual date the video was shot to the date it was released. Being connected with your social media brings things back to real perspective. You all have done so much and will have such a grand home when its all said and done. Thanks for letting us share the adventure.
54 days between the time the video was shot to the date it was released.
You guys are doing good. We started last September and hired people for the sub jobs. Still not done. Living downstairs and using laundry as kitchen. But, we have heat and some water so I am happy. Maybe done in December. I know it’s a long road. It’s frustrating. Sometimes there is so much work the joy goes out of it. But,... look back at where you were. You have done very well and inspired lots of people. I get great joy out of watching you,.. I can relate to so much of it. Keep up the good work. Your home is basically dried in. You got this.
The roof, as we watch this in October 2018, is done and looks great. Don't bother to suggest your 'solutions' to the installation problems because Jessie and Alyessa have already overcome them.
Congratulations on a hard, difficult job completed and looking great!
I think most people are aware of the time delay, but suggest things in case someone else is contemplating a similar project.
Knowing that as of today this is old news & the Roof has been on the house for awhile. It’s interesting to see how you problem solved to make it happen. What is even more amazing...... this is like 2 weeks of a video every day! Good job you two!
Keep smiling and remember that every hill you have to climb, there is a beautiful vista on top. Much love from Minnesota, the entire state :-)
That sticky tape works beautifully for cleaning out hex head bits that have magnets in them. Y'all be very careful on that roof. Texas is rooting for you both.
Anna is awesome! What a great sister and help. Anna rocks!
Why are you applying sealant at the bottom of the panel? If any water gets under the panel it needs an escape route at the bottom.
The pioneers from 200 hundred years ago were told the same thing. They settled the West anyway. Carry on Jesse and Alyssa. You're way past the point of no return. Great job!
I've been watching you two since day one. I admire your devotion to each other and your home.
What you're describing for the outside sounds kinda industrial looking....except for the basement. I figured with the timber frame build you'd shoot for "quaint and organic". I understand you want it to be low maintenance and functional but it seems like your heading towards something Neo Metallic. This was unexpected.
It seems to me they chose the hardest possible situation/materials for every stage of their build which is quite impressive and sad at the same time. Firstly they chose to build their home into a hill without easy access to every wall with large equipment, chose to use SIPs which require an assload of extra work to get them ready for installation, chose a crazy roof pitch which makes working on it a nightmare, and now wanting to install a specific style of metal roofing that is unconventional. Oh and btw, doing the vast majority of it by themselves with minimal experience in most aspects of the build.
I commend the fortitude to not just willingly take on such a project but having stood strong all this time in toughing it out without throwing in the towel and contracting most of these projects out so you could save some sanity.
If they had the correct equipment & training then the reality is these are easy materials to work with.
Take care of yourself and each other! Keep your relationship strong! You will prevail!!!
We feel your pain.❤ If you do a quick review of your videos, you will see all the difficult challenges you have disposed of. I think you two are awesome and you will cross the goal line as WINNERS😊
The nice thing about what your doing is that when your done you will be able to look back on your vidieos and say We Did That. Great Job Guys.
Looks like having your sister's help for this process was CLUTCH!! Bless her. Good look to all of you.
I feel like you two are like my kids. I love every thing your doing. I had a question. Are the ribs to be crimped between each panel?. Keep up the great work. I'm loving every minute.
Your sister is a godsend.. she puts up with your crazy ideas and makes it work.
In over your head? Probably. Who wouldn’t be. Those comments are negligible. Inspirational. Hell yeah. Keep kickin a$$ and takin names you two.
You two are incredible! You have a lot to be proud of..
It wasn't two days of problems, it was two day of finding a solution. And your solution worked well. By the time you get to the end you will be professionals at this. You will feel amazing and that joy will come flooding back. I'm cheering for you.
We truly appreciate the added work that filming is adding to this project and your dedication, discipline, and intelligence in handling the emotional, mental, and physical challenges. You prove everyday that you can eat an elephant one forkful at a time. Great job. Truly inspiring.
Working through the challenges and lows simply makes the highs so much sweeter and satisfying. When that roof is complete, you will not only feel elated, but you will know that it has been done right. It doesn't get any better.
So so so excited for the next set of videos. You guys work so hard and I love seeing the genuine happiness on your faces when you can see your hard work pay off
When you're in over your head you learn to swim. But you know that already, well done.
Ive watched every single video you two yahoos have put on the tube. I dont think I've ever commented before. But this time...you said something at the end that resonated and that was, "having the pride to say we did that...".
That is what it's all about isn't it? Self pride can be one of the least talked about but most sought after trait we as people need. Not to prove our worth but to maintain self-confidence (which is what allows us to walk through life unafraid and or lost- imho). So, thanks for the reminder...I needed that.
I knew there was a reason I watch these.
You guys are doing a fantastic job. Many opinions but how many are helping. I admire your work and the way you work together. Well done Jesse & Alyssa!!
I never reply and with 600 plus comments it may not be seen but.... The dynamics of CZcams going along for the ride puts a different twist on this. So many negative comments. So many try this try that. That alone mentally would create brain fog. I find it interesting that the people who say “I’m done watching them screw this up” are here on the next video to criticize once again. Props to you guys for dealing with that alone. You guys have beaten every obstacle that has been placed before you. It’s human nature to think the next one lurking around the corner will beat you. But it hasn’t. Long time ago in a land far away this is how people did things. They had to. A lot of those houses are still standing today. You guys have chosen to do it yourself and there are some lazy individuals out there that for lack of better words are jealous enough to tempt you to give up. Very similar to how people congratulate you on your new car “debt” you talked about in a way early video. Things like building your contraption to get the panels on the roof is a dying art. “Just get a crane.” Don’t worry about using your brain to try to figure something out. All part of the life skills that are being lost. One of my “favorite questions asked you in the comments “Why grow your own vegetables when you can go to the store and buy them.” If an answer is needed.....Because I freaking want to should be a good enough answer. I digress. I could fill this page up talking about the lazy people who make up society now days and want all of us to come join them because misery loves company. Keep on keeping on. You have no choice but to finish, if you don’t give up.
Here! Here! VERY well put. "Thinkers" and "Do-ers" are becoming fewer and farther between. We are becoming a society of duds. When that grocery store no longer has food for them to buy, they will curl up and die, or start stealing from those who have prepared for such an eventuality.
Thank you so much for your perfect comment that expresses our feelings exactly...we so enjoy watching this couple spending their lives expanding their knowledge and life experience with this home build...they are exceptional people!!!
These helpful hints are funny. It's been on and done for over a month.
Story time - we had a new house built in 1996. In 1998, we had a couple of shingles blow off. When We received a couple of estimates, one contractor said, you have to come up here. He walked up to one of the 7 skylights and showed me that the installer didn’t put any nails in the side flange.the only thing holding the skylight on was gravity. You guys are awesome compared to most contacts who really don’t care. We all feel your love and commitment in everything you do - you are AWESOME!
YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! I know it’s not easy and energy is running low, but you can be very proud of yourself! Most people these days want it done asap...take your time, take a step back when needed. Don’t let people rush you! In the end, you WILL be proud. Don’t let bad comments get to you! I certainly wish I had just 10% of your determination! You will get there, at your own pace... Love to watch your videos!
I think you two are doing awesome work, the way you plan together, work together, is a testament to what a relationship is about. Kudos folks, I for one am IMPRESSED ! Couldn't be prouder of the two of you if you were my kids.
Awesome job guys , although I can’t help but think you couldn’t have picked a bigger pain in the ass roof system to install . No malice at all , I think you two are awesome.
message from a roofing contractor who specialized in steep pitch projects. Your roofing like left handers, right handed roofers will lay the sheeting right to left,so you can use your dominant hand to do the drilling & screwing. you both will be far less fatigued. 45 degrees is hard enough in its own right. Keep up the good work, hope the tip helps.
Great job Guy's.You both deserve a pat on the back. Building a home is never easy. But with perseverance and help, you can do it.
Anna is just the best you rock we see you working a lot.
You guys are awesome. I've been installing double standing seam for 38 years I wish I could help you
I love watching the 2 of you do this work, learning as you go taking you time and trying to ( and mostly getting it right).
Thanks for busting these videos out every day! It's great to finally see how this all came together!
Great job guys, it seems like you found your solution 👍🏼. Maybe if you could get 1 or 2 more friends to help you guys then your roof will be done in no time, 1 person helping Anna and the other helping the two of you on the roof. All in all it looks 👀 awesome job guys yes and don’t quit no matter what you got this🤙🏽, Aloha from Hawaii oh and be safe...
OFCOURSE you needed to have BOTH the man bucket AND the Contraption on the lift together - Why not ;-)
I still wonder why you havn't installed a parasol *LOL*
Keep on keeping on guys! You’re all most to the top! It’s all down hill after you get the roof done. 👍🏼
There are those who say what you should do, but it is your decision. I admire your willingness to attempt new experiences. So enjoying watching this build.
I'm so excited and proud of you both. We watch every day. Y'all are an Awesome couple.Y'ALL try to do it right the first time. We are also proud of your helpers and friends. We love y'all
Your progress is exciting for me, you deserve some joy in your hard work keep on trucking, everyday i check in to see what’s happening , i feel your frustration and hope to send you my encouragement to let you know how much you encourage me. I’m slowly renovating one room at a time, I wish i had your youth because getting old slows you down, anyway i enjoy your video’s keep up the great work ,...Blessings
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Well done!!! 👍👍
It may not be the best way but it yours. All three of you made his milestone. It was a joy to see it finished and pictures taken but it had been an honor to see your journey and achieving milestones such as this one. Bask in this victory.
Guys couldn't you use a metal air punch to create the holes for each panel whilst on the ground, much quicker(and safer) than drilling whilst on the roof
I just checked your Instagram photos and the roof looks fantastic and I bet it was hard work!!! thanks for all the motivation you guys have given me to try and build something on my own .
you really need a chicken ladder, all it is , is 2 j shaped hooks that fasten too ladder and hooks over the roof ridge
Every now and then a shot that comes up gives me vertigo. I love that feeling.
Ya, don’t understand why I doubt it you guys could do it! Way to work it out. Cant wait to see the finish job. 💜
I love waking up to a Pure Living for Life video! I'm sure it's frustrating at times but you guys are truly inspiring.
Hey guys.. Love the contraption for getting the sheets up to position... great bit of farm ingenuity!!! I have been watching since the footings and slab went in for the garage and really enjoy seeing the new videos every day or two... Things are done VERY differently in your state / country / world :) and having been in the building game as an electrician for 35 plus years here in Australia can't wait to see the electrical rough-in and fitt-off. My cat Simon loves watching the show with us and could be a very close relative of Bugaboo as they both carry on like they were related... it's uncanny. Anyhow keep up the good work... you are inspiring the way bring us all along for the ride... the ups and the downs... take it easy and enjoy the process it will be fantastic in the end.... Phil
I can't imagine how proud you must feel. Just awesome guys, just awesome!
Good job!! Your right-you'll get through it, then on to the next task.
Omg you two are awesome. I'm inspired by what you are doing. Been watching for a while and it never gets old. Keep pushing threw.
You are doing great. Slow and steady gets the job done. You will get faster as you get more experience.
I think you guys are amazing in handling this roofing. I've been looking forward in seeing what you guys come up with.
Great job! Yall are doing awesome!
I've been watching you for a while. You guys are nothing short of amazing.
I had my doubts but you pulled it off!! Very nice work!
Guys I sit and watch your videos and am so encouraged by your will and determination. Thanks great job !!
Steady and slow as you go. It seems to work for most. Good job guys.
Thank you for sharing your journey. You will do it!
While your videos convey better than all TV programs about the scope of building a home. Your videos are still a snippet of the work you are doing to build this house. I applaud you for all your blood, sweat, and tears you are investing in your future. The ability to undertake tasks that are firsts and all the challenges this causes would have caused many to fail. Stay strong, and persevere.
Good, be with you as you complete the roof!
You guy's are great. I'm proud of you.
Good job ! Thanks for also making this video ! You both are amazing video taking while building all day and then editing ! 👍thanks !
Keep up the great work you two. You're doing great.
You are prevailing and wonderfully so!
Everyone wants a roof over their head. So what's wrong with being "in over your head?"
2 extra strong magnets, two rags to use as a way to pull up the roof panels. Could also weight the other side of rope/string/paracord that is attached to the magnets. Just a thought.... keep up the great work, and you could also skip stages of build when the wash repeat repetition. This may help in being more focused on the house, and the audience will understand. Stay hydrated and safe guys.
awesome work jessie and elsila proving no task is to big for you all cant wait to see the whole roof on as the one look pretty already cant wait to see what the whole roof well look like
Great job. The “ contraption” works great!
you guys are champions! and Alissa go pro footage of climbing the roof and sitting on the top is freaky and turns my stomic lol because of the height and angel. your so brave Alissa. heck ya your going to be in their this winter...
When you have that roof completely done before the first snow you will be soooo glad you just kept on keeping on
Good job Team A J!! The finished roof looks great!! A lot of trials and tribulations but the end was worth it!!
