Guys, I say this on nearly every video that you're doing a hell of a job. I spent 10 years in commercial construction doing a lot of vertical concrete work and not as much stick framing, so I'm always interested to watch the process. However, as someone who has also investigated dozens of falls in my time as both a State inspector and private sector safety guy, I cannot stress the importance of fall protection enough. Having the scaffold up on the one side is a good start as it lowers the risk of someone going off that end, but those gable ends are fatal falls if anyone goes over. I have heard it so many times about the rope systems being uncomfortable to work in and I totally get it. However, there are other systems out there that you can use such as yo-yo's which don't have you stepping over a lifeline. It's great to be comfortable with heights, but all it takes is one second of inattentiveness or lapse in concentration, which you have said comes with the excessive heat. If you want any ideas or have any questions about this stuff, feel free to message me or find a safety outfit near you and they will be happy to hook you up with something that will work for your project. Keep up the awesome work!

In hindsight, could the upper floor walls have been put on after the roof was covered? That way the materials could be staged from the second floor and more shade available? Maybe not?

I agree with brad as a towerhand i agree wearing a harness can restrict you but if something goes wrong that harness could determine wheather you go home or not when working high up like that always tie off 100% at all times

tip... the ZIP roller, has little Z's in it... so for warranty claims, they can see if you rolled it properly. ALWAYS ENSURE YOU ROLL, as the adheisive is preasure activated... thats why you can stick and move it, but once you roll it, shes there forever, in 200 years when they tear down your antique house, the tape will still be there holding the house together. But also, not just for warranty, but so you can see vissually what you have rolled and havent and if you are inspecting behind a crew, you can tell if they performed the rolling propperly

Yes, this was mentioned in the video...

I don’t have any issues with heights, but dang, some of those shots were severely vertigo inducing! Rad earns the nickname “Mountain Goat” after this episode.

Something that might make it easier for you guys could be placing the sheets on the 2nd floor and lift them up between the rafters then lay them flat into place.

As someone who built their own ridiculous sized attached garage this series brings back a lot of memories. 28' 9/12 trusses on top of 11' walls all installed with rope and push stick by me and one friend. Didn't have the heat to deal with since we installed in Dec and Jan :). Keep it up, this series is great

With every video, I can't help but marvel that you are pulling all this off with just three people for the most part. Once again, Rad's comfort with heights is worth at least two people alone, so thank goodness he's there to facilitate the dangerous, sometimes scary, parts of this. But on the whole, I'm just proud of you guys. This is NOT easy work, by any stretch of the imagination, and you all are working VERY smart, to make sure you CAN do it with just three people, and to make sure the three of you are as safe as you can be while doing it - AND taking your time. It's great to work fast when you are able to, but it's better to work smart than hard. May take a little longer, but ensures no mistakes and minimizes the possibility of injuries. Doing it right matters more than anything else. You guys are doing fantastic.

It is so nice to see you and your son's work together on a project. This will make such good memories for all of you. Some of my best memories were of projects my Dad and I did together. You getting emotional about your Dad made me emotional. Keep up the good work fellas and be safe. 🙏🙏👍👍 Congrats on 500K subs. Your on your way to a million.

I feel for you guys, I am 75 and doing a lot of outside work including weed eating, mowing, debris cleanup, and finishing up a workshop extension. I am in 98 to 101 degrees with the heat index pushing 113 most days. I usually knock off about 11 and start back around 5 to avoid the hottest part of the day. My teeshirt weighs about 5 lbs from sweat when I remove it. I lived at Ft Hood a total of about 7 years, so I am very familiar with the heat, the chiggers, and an abundance of other biting insects in Texas. Your work is superb, keep it up.

That Zip System is amazing. Beats the heck out of the way we used to do it, sheeting then house wrapping. The Tyvek is awesome stuff but can be hard to deal with the rolls at 45 feet up.

Paul is a true American hero and his positivity shines in the toughest moments. I work outside in Houston and I understand the pain of the sun so my heart goes out to you. Please plan the framing on the new house to be done in the cooler months. Leave plenty of days in reserve so you don’t get forced into framing in august.

I'm glad that you took a break. That heat doesn't just feel bad, it can kill. No joke. And it's been unbelievably hot. Take care of yourselves. Always excited to see you, but don't want anything to happen to you!

Before you take that scaffolding down, you should read up on how to apply Zip Tape for your windows! There is a lot of taping work left and you will want scaffolds in place so you don't risk your necks! Great work.

I redid an entire yard during a heatwave where it hit 100 degrees in a dry climate. I can’t imagine what it feels like down there with you guys. You don’t have to feel bad about having to take breaks. It’s the smart thing to do.

I for one am proud of you guys for toughing out the heat. I've got a ton of respect for all the effort you've put in. I know you're gonna get that roof finished.

Put a sprinkler on the house roof to spray a mist to the garage roof workers. It may vaporize before it gets there though. A wet towel around you neck also helps. Keep some ice packs handy for StudPack heat exhaustion.

That heat index is no joke. I work in Galveston outdoors so I feel your pain. Stay safe, stay fed, and stay hydrated! Love the videos gang, can wait to see that finished roof!

Fellow Texan checking in here; temps of 105-108 in DFW this week, with heat index values ranging from 110-115. It's stinkin' hot! When I can't avoid being out in the heat, I take a wide strip (about 10-12") cut from an old t-shirt or other thin, soft cotton rag, and roll it into a long tube full of ice cubes, then tie it very loosely around my neck (kinda like a Boy Scout neckerchief). The multiple layers of cloth keep it from melting too fast, and the cool damp cloth against your neck (think carotid artery and juggler vein) really helps to keep you cool. Take a break every two or three hours to wring out the water and put fresh ice cubes in. Yes, your shirt will eventually get wet, but not as much as you think and you won't care. Stay hydrated and cool, my friends! And congrats again on the 500k milestone! I've been a subscriber for years now, and have really enjoyed watching you develop your construction and production skills!

For a $100.00 you can buy a remote control cable hoist to lift your zip sheets up and set them in place. This saves a lot of time and frees up a person to do other work on the job. It only takes a minute for someone to rig the zip sheet to the hoist and the person nailing the sheet can use the remote to lift it into place.
