That’s really cool. Thanks for stopping by our channel.

Thanks!

I bet it’s great for ticks too!

@@canadianahomestead i’m not sure but I believe eucalyptus essential oil mixture sprayed on clothing keeps ticks away.

😄

Thanks so much! This made us smile.

Thank you so much! Yes I enjoyed the muffin too. Haha!

Thanks so much!

Our pleasure 😊

Just after we finished our roof we reported back on the process to Avrame and the roofing company created a very thorough and easy to follow instruction manual specific to these homes. Thankful that other people will at least benefit from our learning experience!

So much work left to do. And clean up. We do try to clean as we go as much as possible but with just one of us most of the time it’s so hard to stay on top of it!! Slowly but surely.

We did have enough from scraps at the very end of the roofing. At the time when we got the kit they had just hired a new material sourcing manager so we had a couple of things that were off by a small amount and Avrame sent us replacements when needed but in this case we had enough scraps at the very end to do the dormer. I think we were short by something like 4 pieces to have had the proper 10% extra or whatever. But it was no problem in the end and they worked with us to sort it out.

@@canadianahomestead thank you Rob! As a country manager I would feel awful if a customer ran out of roof sheets. Planning skylight windows is tedious both in terms of the number and sizes of steel and avoiding unwanted alignment - too close to a dormer ors sheet seams happening on the velux sides. Would you recommend doing velux installation "on the go" while putting steel to allow oneself to play a few cm/inches right or left?

I did do our skylights before steel but when I felt it was too close I stopped and measured some things and then put the window as close to the truss (away from the dormer) as I could go.

👏👏👏

Thank you so much! We really appreciate it. So thankful to have a roof over our heads for the next snowfall!!

Thank you!! Hahaha yes finally no snow!!! We were worried for a second that by the time we caught up on these videos it was going to be snowing again!

It really does!! Starting to feel like a house! Even on the inside!

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! This version is the European model where the strapping allows for a vented air space to the roof. The sheathing is on the inside and holds in the insulation with the vapour barrier on the inside of that.

Thanks so much. Yes, so true! Although when I have just 1 extra person it seems to go 3 times faster. It’s a trade off! I enjoy working to music and getting in the groove.

Thanks!

Thank you! Yes it didn’t feel so high when I was up there. I figured worst case if I fell it wouldn’t be much different than sliding down the stairs.

@@canadianahomestead add 25 years it feels different lol

😎😎😎

Haha just so much fun

Thanks man! It wasn't easy but well worth it. I'm right there with you these days though suffering in the 30 degree weather! Its sometimes worse and sometimes better than the cold.

Thanks Maxim!

We were thinking the same thing, but the instructions for the steel roofing showed strapping this close together. Plus, there was more than enough strapping in the kit.

Thank you! Sorry I’m misunderstanding, what are you meaning by doom?

Hopefully not for us! Haha

Well in real time the snow is gone!! We were going to rent a snow melt but the sun did the job for us! You’ll see in a couple of videos!! Playing catch up on our footage!!

Currently editing that video!! Its pretty! I can tell you that much :)

Thank you! Cheers!

just a small correction: weather barrier not vapour barrier. The latter will go inside at a later stage.

Hey, thanks!

Thank you!! Yes. We underestimated how difficult it would be to build and produce videos at the same time!!

Thanks! You too! So thankful that in real time the snow is gone!!

Glad you enjoy it!

Thanks so much friends!!

😂

Awesome! Thank you! Welcome aboard! We’ll be in that area this summer for camp ABK with our kids!

Yes! Actually timing works out to be doing outdoor finishings in the summer and leaving all the inside stuff for the next time it gets cold haha. Hopeful to be working indoors next winter!

Thanks so much! What do you mean by another doom? We appreciate you watching along!

You are so kind. Thank you!

The snowy season is over, now for a season of mud!

Yes thank you both! Definitely thankful to be out of the snow! 😊

We’ve heard that there’s often times a lot of moving stuff by hand. And yes, very thankful that our plumbing wasn’t broken. I’m sure it would have been repairable, but really glad we didn’t have to go through it. The snow build has had positives and negatives. We will see how the summer months treat us soon enough. Hahaha

Thanks so much! You’re right about the bugs. We’re about to hit that season and I can’t say I’m looking forward to it. But New Zealand… now that sounds ideal!

Glad you enjoyed it! Trying out longer form videos because it seems people are willing to stick around. We appreciate it :)

So thankful it wasn’t worse!!
