Building a Cabin? DIY SOLUTIONS FOR PROPER CONSTRUCTION. How To Avoid Ice Dams, Condensation & Mold.
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Are you planning to build your own house or cabin? Watch this before you start and learn how to avoid potential problems. Inadequate roof ventilation can cause condensation, Ice dams, leaks and black mold. In this episode, I show you how I deal withe these issues.
Homesteading off the grid and on the mountain certainly has its challenges but there's no place we'd rather live. We restored the old camp and transformed it into a cozy home for ourselves, then we cleared more land, built a workshop and greenhouse and spent the late part of the winter starting seeds and now we're busy planting our first garden on the mountain. Little by little we're reaching our goals of having a self sufficient homestead.

God bless my friend
The best way to eliminate the problem is to avoid the problem. Good backwoods logic
❤positive grateful thankfulness is awesome... Not complaining just venting😉😂❤🇺🇸 God bless
The old dog for the road and the pup for the puddles!
Most definitely I do metal roofing for a living and there’s a shit ton of people who should see this video keep up the good work
Informative JC. Thank you. I am disappointed "bubble foil" wasn't mentioned!
Always look forward to you educational videos!
We need a new bubble foil video ASAP. 😂😂 J/k.. continue to: M.O L.G.A ✌️🇺🇸

Thanks for sharing Boss Enjoyed the video dogs jumping on bed made me chuckle and everyone commenting about bubble foil are on to something that would be another great video but I’m a bubble foil nut since you turned me on to it God bless see you on the next video
That was some thick ice! Thanks for the info. Thank God spring is tomorrow!
You could open an online school, Boss. This information is invaluable for folks like me with no winter experience. Really appreciate. Thank you.
I love how you explain everything! Common sense may have died all around us but it is alive and doing well at your place :)
Sooner or later things catch up with you! That's the way it goes with me. There is always something to do at the homestead. Boss, you're spot on with the solution. If I was there in good weather, I would help put up some tin on your roof, but as it goes now, I am in the tropical weather with my toes in the "sand" so to say!!! Good info and glad it all worked out. You, Lori, and the kids, stay safe and stay blessed...
Amazing info. Simply love the ending "Franky & the Boss" song. Keep up keeping up.
Hey Boss, get that cabin fixed - I’m looking forward to your new build over the mountain.
Another interesting and informative video from the boss. Take care everyone
Now I understand why the electrician said I had a hot roof. I never understood what that meant. Thank you!
Love seeing the babies! I need the fascia on my house redone and have no idea who to call. Take care!

You know I will probably never in my life need this information. Nonetheless I still find it really interesting.
Appreciate your videos and sense of humor Boss and Lori. Looking forward to seeing more adventures and the beautiful nature around y'all. Seeing the Happy Place puts a huge smile on my face. In our thoughts and prayers. God Bless y'all and the kids✌❤😁
Another timely video, I used to work for a roofing company handling hail and storm claims, supervising roofing crews and selling new roofs. You made roof repairs, maintenence and new construction quite interesting. The vast majority of people I dealt with could have cared less about the details, they had a check from an insurance company that didn't cover the repairs, so I would go to the insurance carrier and get more $$$ to properly fix things.
What's daddy doing? Tildy... "I don't know, I don't know, I don't know!"
(JF ) it's just good backwoods logic. Thanks for sharing.
Wow I dealt with ice dams in Colorado forever best way I found is to build a cold rack on top of the roof insulate the bottom of the roof and let the cold rack keep the roof from leaking but then again I was in Vail and tell you right and steamboat springs and different world there. Very good way of doing that boss. Mark liss
Love your stuff Boss. Here's the problem. Here's how it happens. Here's how you fix it. By the way, this was done before I was born so it ain't my fault. From growing veggies, building green houses, clearing land, cast iron cooking and care and more. This is the place to enjoy and learn. And? You can laugh along the way with voice over squirrels talking, dogs playing and more. And? They care for the wildlife. You're the complete package where I'm off, partial grid, or totally on the grid, you show an easier way of life. Thanks for sharing.
I always learn something from each of your videos. Love how the kids love your bed! LOL
Thanks for sharing that info!!
Love that your thinking about the wild life. I had a wood pecker putting holes in my wooding clapboard looking for the flies hibernating, and it was noticeable damage, so the wife told me I’m going to have to shoot him(male) but I didn’t have the heart to do so. I just threw my glove at him and hope he finds food somewhere else. Never thought a woody wood pecker would get into trouble! Childhood cartoons. All the best. Great advise again bud!
Great video Boss. Like that deer on the wall. Nice one.👍

Jim, I swear both of us learned construction from the same person. Awesome explanation of ice dams and how to properly ventilate a roof. I was however waiting for the blow torch to come out to melt the ice.
Great insight - thanks for sharing :)

Thank you! I may never need it but I learned something new!
I agree about the ice dam prevention. When I had my house totally reshingled about 5 years ago, the roofer quoted a price that included 3 feet of ice dam protection. I asked for and got 6 feet of protection for about $150 more. Cheap protection, in my book, as I only have a 6 inch pitch on my hip roofed ranch house. Had bad ice dams this winter, about 3 feet high, but no leakage whatsoever!
What a wealth of knowledge you have. Thank you for sharing and explaining.
you always make it sound so simple
Another good video thanks for sharing again. Blessings y'all
Glad to see yall surviving your cold winter. Need another puppy video soon please.
very interesting and helpful. thanks

I put a metal roof on 17 years ago. First I put 2x3 stringers lagged into the planked cathedral roof and then dropped 2 inch foam insulation into the bays. That left a space between the foam insulation and the metal roof that was fastened to the 2x3. Prior to the metal roof there was no insulation. It is a three season cabin. This method might work for you.
