You’re so right! You just gotta dive in. Sometime is right now. I recently opened my own business and had reason after reason not to. If you overlook the reasons not to and dive in, there’s reward at the other side. Congrats!

Watching you reminds me of my Dad. 80 years old and still does his own roofing on his rentals among all other things. He does now have someone else carry the shingles up the ladder.

I'm with you. Sometimes the hardest part of DIY is knowing when not to.

For me - it's my slate roof. The only thing I don't and won't mess with. I've rewired, replumbed, and renovated my 90 year old house, but I rue the day that something goes wrong with that original roof. Might be time to sell at that point.

Best thing you did in my opinion is extend/make those beautiful overhangs and for the labor on the shingles, you would be crazy NOT to let them do it !! Great house and great decisions !!

Of course it only took them 2 hours, you had most of the work done. You did the hard part! 👏🏼👍🏼

That is true, but it would have taken me much longer than them. They were done and gone before I would normally show up.

Glad to see the video man. Great book by the way, i suggest anyone who hasn't purchased it to go and get it NOW!!!! Lots of helpful hints that have changed my work life. From it in my area, i have gotten my hands on 2 houses! To the Homestead Craftsman, your truly an inspiration. This 12k house series has changed my career path. For my first time i see someone my age thats putting in some serious in depth work, without a slew of time lapses. Nothing against those videos, but alot of times it can be discouraging when it doesn't seem to happen as fast as those time lapse videos. With your videos we see that theres lots of work involved and allows us to see that it doesnt happen over night, and thats okay. Take your time and do it right. Thanks Bro! Looking forward to "mo videos...no problems"

The shingles around the bathroom vent will probably seal itself down once the weather gets warmer anyway. Great episode, Cheers from PEI Canada, Bryan

As a contractor, love the videos and the roofers did awesome straight rows pretty awesome. so hard to find guys who have pride,its looking awesome keep sharing please and thank yoy so informative.godbless.

It's just me (picky homeowner), but I would put some roofing tar over the exposed nail heads on the ridge vent. Great job!

Now THIS is realty t.v.

Know penetrations though the roof aren't ideal, but think keeping the gable walls uncluttered lets the brackets be enjoyed and stand out. Good advice for DYI folks, sometimes have to let go of the fear and have professional help. House looking sharp with new roof, especially with the high quality shingles.

Your philosophy about topics is about as fascinating as the construction work itself!

I was going to ask about roofing tar but then you said it... 😍... love your videos!!! And admire your strategy for expenses/work load...

I've enjoyed watching your progress with this house and look forward to seeing it all finished. Keep up the good work!

Very cool! I’ve been watching your progress on this house. Very impressive/ inspiring. So nice to see that there are still young ppl that have an interest in, and see value in practical skills. I’m sure your parents are proud of you.

I like watching these type of videos, the roof came out really good!! Can’t wait to see the finish look of this house!

I think your doing a wonderful job. very thorough , God bless you. watching from Australia and learning as you have taught. Great job

I always enjoy watching these, being as young as I am there’s so much great advice in every one of the videos that I’ve actually used to make progress on my own projects. Keep it up, house is lookin awesome!

I love the overhang, it makes it feel so much more like a home.

I love watching these videos... very interesting... very entertaining... very educational. Keep it up. I can't wait to see the house when it's all done.

Every time I think that the withdrawal is just too much to bear you post a video. Thank you!

I liked your advice at the end , about just get going. And good things will start to happen.

Just purchased your book. Looking forward to the read. Thanks for taking the time.

Great watching this playlist even two years after its creation.

I am looking into getting my first home soon, unfortunately I do not have near the background you have developed on fixing up houses that are basically just a shell to begin with, I have learned a lot as far as things to think about and look for when purchasing a home and love being able to watch step by step how you have gone about fixing things. Very informational videos and fun to watch this run down house turn into a nice home. Keep the videos coming look forward to #29.

I SOOOO understand what you are saying about being able to let go some things and having the trust someone else will do it as I want. But you have to sometimes if you ever want to get a project finished.

This house is coming along very beautiful. So excited for the finished product

Love the channel, its always interesting to see how someone else is doing stuff. Keep it up.

shingles will stick around the vents, give it a couple days of sun and the seal will do its thing.

I bet the neighbors are glad you are fixin up the place. I am riveted to this series. Looking forward to the next video.

I totally agree with you on many of the points you make. I think what stops most people from doing things themself is the fact that they don't know how to do it, so the fear of failure stops them from doing it at all. I, myself have many times started a project without knowing how to do it or how it's going to end up. But in the end, it turned out alright :) Learning as you go, and learning by doing is so important. And not being afraid to jump into new things. Awesome video dude!

Definitely cover those exposed nail head with a dot of roof cement to prevent them from rusting out, otherwise great job, and a good smart deal.

Wanted to add that beyond the cost for the roof, which $1700 isn't bad, is also the knowledge that it was done professionally, and peace of mind is hard to price. Roofing is one of those things that I will always leave to the pros because of how easily water finds it way into spaces, it's good to know the roof was done right. Coming along nicely! Nice choice of shingle, too.

I always wondering what Santa Claus did in the spring.

Really like watching the development of this series. My go-to roofer just died, its hard to find good cash for hire contractors and even harder to find good ones.

In my eyes you're living the dream! Good job so far, good luck and I hope to be out there doing the same thing (or similar lol) soon!

I like your attitude towards the roofer.

"Showed up, banged it out, and left" giggity

So true... sometimes talking about things will delay your progress. House is looking great!!!

I put the exact same shingles on my house in 2011... They are holding up nicely.

Looking good ! I️ Been following the progress of this home

Very enjoyable, thank you! I like the way you rationalised farming this work out; guys with 30 years' roofing leaves you to deploy your time more valuably. And next house too! Gosh :-) Walnut milling is really good!

i'm not buying a house , i'm not redoing a house, I just enjoy your videos

Great job all around with the house in the videos really enjoy it

Like your thought process on this. Well done!

Thanks for sharing all your knowledge and hard work !

I enjoy watching these. Thank you for bringing us a long.

Awesome Progress. Full Speed Ahead Mister !

I agree with your outlook on hiring out jobs. I have a hard time paying someone to do a job I know I can do. No one will put in the care on your house like you will. But you need to know when to let go and trust someone else. Very hard to do.

The only way to learn is by doing; I asked you how you knew how to do all that and you answered in this video. Thanks for the videos; really enjoy them.

Nice. Really valuable and good comments from you! Thank you...😀

Great video love the progress congratulations on the other real estate deal!

Keep it up man! Lots of Hardwork and Dedication, definitely Inspiring!

Hell of a smart move hiring that roofing crew, great job and total wasn't hardly anything

I have built houses from scat in the past and the longer that you spend on working on a house the more money will be consumed. I realize that there is a lot of money to be made by not hiring others to do the work yourself. There is that balance that you have to measure. Holding onto a house involves paying property taxes and electric bills whereby a lot more money can be made by volume turnover of houses. You have to remember that balancing is alway there. One other thing: Great job!!!!

You cant beat that price. Up here in the great white north you'd pay x5 that price.

White Rock Woodworking Southern Ontario. Where the streets are paved with gold. In all seriousness though. You can expect to pay $6k minimum for the simplest triangle roof, with a chimney and about four vents. It's insane.

I appriciate you producing these videos. I hope that even if you don't hit your 100k subs mark by the time you are done with this project you continue to make the videos on your next

Great video and advice.When showing the ridge vent, it looked like there may have been exposed nail heads on the last cap shingle closest to the road end. I'm not a roofer, but have done some roofing and you should put a couple of gobs of roofing cement on those heads as they will probably leak. Like you said, small stuff, you've probably already got it taken care of.The usable equity built in real estate is fantastic. Great job!!

I love your videos! It makes my day😆 You don’t know how happy I am right now🤣

I think you made a good call on the bathroom vent the humidity coming out of the vent can damage the wood in the soffit over time. Just my opinion

Great price, great job. Nice looking roof. House is looking super. Vinny 🇺🇸

house is starting to look real good!

Your general contractor information is valuable and cost effective, enjoy the knowledge you are gaining this will help in the future and open new opportunities for you , amazing how many people are looking for honest effective skilled craftsmen that can get the job done right the first time in a price competitive labor market, quality and on time job completion equals more opportunities!

Love the videos! Thanks for all your advice!

Totally agree best way to learn is just jump in and do it.

Dab a little tar on the exposed nail heads on the last shingles on the ridge vent. That's what I've always done. Haven't had any leaks doing that.

Absolutely! My knees hurt just thinking about roofing. Two hours for four pros could be an insane time investment for even a talented DIYer. A buddy of mine pays a guy to cut his lawn, because he can earn more by working than it costs to pay to have it done.

Don't know why I watch so many build/ restore/ reno channels when I've never had anything to do with trades - guess it's just in the blood because most of my ancestors were contractors, stone masons, decorative plasterers etc but I see you doing this stuff and wish I had gotten into buy-fix-sell when I was young. Anyway, your channel is one of my favourites of this sort and it's great to see this house approaching the fun part - finishes. I don't remember seeing that mobile home next door before! Was it always there or am I losing it?

Off to the bathroom to hide out so I can watch your videos again. Lol looks great sir. Love the practicality of this house. The colors everything. Makes perfect since for your plans with it.

good video, was a roofer, enjoyed the work, but it is work that almost anyone can do, but the time/effort vs hire out is often the determining factor -- letting go is hard

Great advice. Just jump in and give it a try. There is just too much "paralysis by analysis". Most of the time you wind up, at a minimum with invaluable knowledge. I feel you will be very succesful in whatever you do.

Looking great! ☺

Good decisions add up.

It’s looking awsome😀👍

@11:00 you mean $100 for the first nail gun from harbor freight, and $250 for the reasonable replacement nail gun when that one dies half way though.

You got a screaming good deal on that roof!

hope i can get a cheap house, too. Cant wait to get my own place

Great advice!!!
