  1. I have a love hate relationship with peel and stick membrane roof systems..I love the pros like you already mention but I hate chasing leaks .With paper you can usually trace the water to the cause of a leak but I have found with the membrane the water will usually travel until it finds a penetration like a chimney or vent and leaves you guessing as to the real cause.I do use them when the home owner will spring for them.

  2. Interesting roof reinforcement.Cool video as always.I was kind of hoping to compare what our two money takers require.it has gotten completely out hand on my end..I am guessing soffit vents all the way around.Always good to be done with a roof.

  3. i have renovated a lot of homes and done a lot of roofs but have never seen the solution you came up with for adding depth to the rafters. really like it, low cost, not very labor intensive. i can dig it.

  4. Excellent Job so far. I watched all your home improvement series during this weekend and really enjoyed them (as much as your main channel). Is it the sunburn or exhaustion that gives the impression of your face being red?

  5. Nice Job, building out the overhangs like that does so much for a house….looks great! Seems to be a big resurgence of craftsmen style homes in my area. Big overhangs, batten strips, and fairly elaborate exterior trim outs. i'm a big fan of that look.

  6. I reroofed my house 14 years ago.  I stripped it all myself, replaced a porch roof, and installed a steel panel roofing system.  I won't have to replace the steel in my lifetime and it only cost $1000 more than shingles.  I will have to replace the gaskets at the ridge cap, but that's small beans compared to doing a roof.

  7. Hmm, are you keeping the chimney or tearing it down?  I recall that you ripped out the old furnace, but don't recall if you replaced it with a direct vent unit, or are still using the flue.

    Still enjoying watching all this unfold!

  8. Unbelievable amount of work you got done there. I roofed my 12×14 shed a few years ago and said i'd never do another roof job again. Props to you! Excellent job. I wish I had half as much energy.

  10. Man. What a job. God bless your brother for his helping hands. It's hard to believe that you are doing this work mostly with just your own two hands. That stairwell was off the chart, but that whole roof?  wow. I am amazed. You really truly inspire me. Thank you so much for sharing. Honestly, I mostly view makeup channels, but I love handymen and you are certainly all that. bye now.
