I built a similar cold roof 15 years ago works well, be sure to put screen over the open air gap critters and birds started building nests in mine the very first year the foam is easy for critters to dig out , I put small metal screen up that stopped the invasion 😂
You got some of the best One-liners "I'm just thinking like a raindrop!" You keep letting her wobble. Andy's as always, I love you and you still need a skid steer! Just buy Carlos a puppy, or fix her tractor either will work!
Thank you Andy for this overly complicated roof system, I will diligently tune in to see you every Monday night 😉 you should be happy with the r value, I put the same type of roofing on my barn only I put purling down a nailed 2 inch styrofoam to the pearling then I put pearling directly over the styrofoam and then used tin roof off a barn I tore down. The building is 30 ×30 and I can get the temperature way up in the 80s when it's 0° out. That's using a wood stove. I always enjoy your videos dude. Keep up the good work and the awesome content 👍✌️🇺🇲
I miss your videos. Sometimes they are too short. I just like to listen to you talk. You have the kind of voice that just captures attention. Keep putting the videos out.
Foam has a MUCH better heat retention then the Antiquated Rvalue accounts for. 1” closed cell foam has around 80% heat retention. I think you will be surprised how well r10 of foam does.
Andy, You amaze me with your knowledge and how to make low cost materials into a great coop. Your weather is crazy for the time of year. I enjoy your channel and your personality. Boe
Thank you Andy for the videos, I watch every one and look forward for the next, I don't care what anyone says, that's the finest chicken house I've every seen any where.
Ft. Worth Texas is listening and watching, just found your podcast, Bud you are Funnier than Tv. But a good teacher to a little old man homestead. Keep up the good work, oh and fix her Tractor. Bahahaha
Andy's Little Homestead stickers please.😁Im sure lots of people will buy them to support you. Put some pictures of yourself with your one liners 😉im first in line to buy some.
This comes from experience. In warm weather the metal will " sweat" in other words, it will condensate on the under side in the mornings and drip on to your foam. Better give the water somewhere to run down at the bottom at the eaves/ facia. And tape up the joins on the foam. Your roof will be raining under the roof.
Fact! I built my house post beam style with perlins double bubble on roof 11/2” air gap then foam boards on inside and 1/2” t&g for s ceiling, on occasions it will drip inside inside . Do you think if I pull metal roof off and add another layer on top then throw metal back on it will be enough?
Interesting roofing concept for The Poultry Palace. If you screw the metal on you can always take it off and piece in more foam board if you find it’s not holding in the heat. It should work imho and the use what you brought has always been my philosophy. I’m always impressed by your ability to work through the little problems that pop up. Good Job!
Make sure you tell people they can adjust the height on the skill saw ... p.s. we love you two. You're bride is awesome, you are a lucky husband... let her have a tractor.
I'm sure those chickens will have no idea how much work you've put into this.. uhh... coop. Anyhow, I think it's a great way to keep the heat out of your attic space. The air gap wicks away the heat and the insulation keeps it that way. Gee Andy. Thank you for the way overly complicated roofing system video. We loved it. and we will continue to watch all of your videos that come up Monday nights.
Heeeeey Carlos! Good to see you! Long time no see! 😉❤️ I have never heard of this kinda roof, not into roofing, but it sounds like it's gonna work well on the "chicken coop!" I have to agree with the look of the rafters on the inside, it looks beautiful! The chickens are gonna love it! This is coming along great! Oh! If the chickens don't like it, I could come rent it!😉😂 Andy, I really like how you take things and repurpose them and/or fix them so you can use them. What a couple beautiful days you had workin and filmin in this video. Awesome job. God bless.😊❤
Great videos and channel. I used to work for an old guy whom is no longer with us, his would always say “you ain’t made of sugar and shit floats, get to work”. Sure miss that man and it’s always stuck with me.
I love that you’re on TH-cam more now. As far as long videos, in my opinion, the longer the better. I’ll definitely be watching every video. Keep trucking brother.
Gee Andy, thank you for the overly complicated roofing video. I will watch your videos every Monday night and promise to build every chicken house exactly as you have.
I was happily surprised to see your perfectly engineered roof system. I have built myself I tiny home (8x24) with 2x6 rafters 24"/ on centre, then sheeted with 1/2" plywood, then a membrane on top of that. I used R-20 Roxal between the rafters inside. That has got me through 2 winters so far, but my plan has been to do similar to what you're doing on top. Only 1" foam board, 2x4 on top of that following the rafters, 2x4 purlins (3" of air space, then the metal. I'm thinking it will provide great ventilation. Inside will be T&G pine ceiling.
Very nice, this is probably exactly what I am going to do on my house, only difference would be I would also put a radiant barrier between the sleepers and the purlins. I don't know how much it will actually help, but its cheap enough I will try it anyway. Guess I am going to have to get me a mill, or find someone local to mill the lumber for me.
I like it, maybe one thing I would added is a layer of plastic wrap on top of the foam, so the water will run off instead of into the bottom 2×4, but it should be decent.
I've been thinking about building a cabin out in the woods for deer camp and I really like how your doing the roof I think it should work well here in this bipolar weather state of Michigan
What's cold in a cold roof is the covering of the roof. If you insulate the roof instead of the attic floor, underlayment and asphalt shingles can heat up to 150 F and fail; because nothing can cool them down. You can fully insulate the roof and use high-temperature underlayment, high temperature rubber/clay/metal roofing, or you can provide an air gap between the rafters. I wanted to keep my vaulted ceiling in a home addition, but I had regular shingles.. so I used molded foam air ducts that jam between the batts and the OSB.
I was shocked to see this on a garage building from the 60's, or 70's. The differences were, the 2x4's, gave the full height of 3.5", for the air gap. The air gap also was covered in the front with facia, and actually was a continuous air gap in the soffit, which was covered with hardware cloth. With no insulation between the two roofs, the garage stayed darn near cold in the summer, when I wanted to be in the garage. There was a copula with windows. Pretty much they were opened year round a few inches. The air gap from the ridge, allowed air flow out the copula. if the roof got hot, more air flowed out. If snow got on the roof, it sloffed off (steep pitch). Shockingly, the bees preferred the house, and not the garage, even though you would think it would be a bee problem, I think they prefer vynal siding. The roof was shockingly efficient, and I did not see a downside. The man whom did it, likely did it because the tin was rusting, and leaking, however, what he created was amazing, by putting another roof, on the roof.
"Thinking like a raindrop" ima use that one for sure, dont copyright stroke me. Only thing missing (I know you went with what you had, all good just sayin) a barrier between foam and lumber, the barrier lets the foam stay insulated without getting "blown out" from the circulating air and if your metal fails it will secure the underoofing all the way down over the lumber and not against it like it "would" do now. Im german we do that since around 1970, before we did "cold roof" its a space insulated with a gap to let air circulate above the insulation, but later they discovered that it makes no sense to "airflow" insulation thats supposed to hold the warmth inside and the cold outside it just lets the outside be alot colder. Brits still have "cold roofs" and also use that on flat roofing, they have to constuct a "breathing" attic. Interesting to see how the world differs, i woulndt call any of that false, if it holds the weather outside it works. Only difference is how long and how efficient and im not gonna go there for sure, even in my own country im not gonna do that. Thx for the vid😆
Lifetime carpenter here. Its called a sleeper roof..not a cold roof. Not installed correctly but close. Also a lot safer to cut the material length correctly on the ground. Roofs needs to breath or it rots faster then water damage from rain.
Andy, I have a quick question about your channels for me and everybody else who wants to see you get paid for your amazing work. I found you on FakeSpace in the beginning, watched and liked every video there. Now that you're on The GoogleToob I watch and like those. I rarely comment on videos, but others always tell us Content Consumers to do it, so maybe that helps too? My question is this, when your Facebook video goes live after your channel here, do you get paid more if I watch it again or is it enough to like it? A feller can and will set his phone down and listen to you talk again if it provides you and your family another .000007 gallons of red diesel or whatever.
LOL, ,makes perfect sense! Andy, I like your style. Keep doing what you're doing, we keep watching. That's going to be the dadgummest non leaking chicken house in .............County! (what county do you live in?)
Very good job brother I really like it you did a good job on that roof even though it was a little more complicated to listen to LOL but hey what kind of tractor you got if you don't mind let me know thank you sir
“I’m just thinking like a raindrop” needs to be on a shirt
Yes, I live in the PNW, and we could sell a lot of them here!!!❤
I built a similar cold roof 15 years ago works well, be sure to put screen over the open air gap critters and birds started building nests in mine the very first year the foam is easy for critters to dig out , I put small metal screen up that stopped the invasion 😂

Every roofer ever says "think like a raindrop."
Although I do love his one-liners, that one is off-the-shelf and VERY important to a roof that's as watertight as a frogs *chicken noise* hole.
Thank you Andy for this overly complicated roof system, I will diligently tune in to see you every Monday night 😉 you should be happy with the r value, I put the same type of roofing on my barn only I put purling down a nailed 2 inch styrofoam to the pearling then I put pearling directly over the styrofoam and then used tin roof off a barn I tore down.

Haha, love your banter with the wife,”my tractor.” I feel the constant hunny do list.
Great job on the roof brother.
Foam has a MUCH better heat retention then the Antiquated Rvalue accounts for. 1” closed cell foam has around 80% heat retention. I think you will be surprised how well r10 of foam does.
Andy, thanks for being you! We are who we are and you never hide what others may not like. Keep it up and always be real. Love you guys!
We love you and your family. You always give us a pick me up when we need it. God bless, keep it up.
Im not a roofer, or anywhere close. However, based of what your idea is on water run-off and gapping, it makes perfect sense.
Great work brother.
Fix her tractor Andy! We love ya but more importantly She loves ya!
Andy,
You amaze me with your knowledge and how to make low cost materials into a great coop. Your weather is crazy for the time of year. I enjoy your channel and your personality. Boe
I'm glad you are on that roof. I'm nervous just watching you working up there. I'm to old to be on a roof anymore.
I will always enjoy my Tuesday morning Andy videos from Australia. Keep them coming
I got 8 mins before it's officially Tuesday here! Greetings from Florida lol!
New fav... "think like a rain drop", my kinda bs... as in building science. Great video, great entertainment!
Nice job.
Always repurpose when you can.
My boss from many years ago used to say : Come on now , we're not building a swiss watch !
Thank you Andy for the videos, I watch every one and look forward for the next, I don't care what anyone says, that's the finest chicken house I've every seen any where.
Ft. Worth Texas is listening and watching, just found your podcast, Bud you are Funnier than Tv. But a good teacher to a little old man homestead. Keep up the good work, oh and fix her Tractor. Bahahaha
Andy it's purposed and it works! Hello from the Pennsylvania mountains home of FJB POS
Howdy Andy, it's great to see you today.
Looking forward to seeing you next Monday.

Nice to see Carlos floating by now and then.
Hi from New Zealand. You are really funny. Thanks for your video.
Osha and inspecter improved 👌 great job brother
Roofer quote of the day: "...I'm just thinking like a raindrop..."
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Great Job Andy! You have given Me ideas on how to improve my corrigated tin roof. Best Wishes!
Make sure you tell people they can adjust the height on the skill saw ... p.s. we love you two. You're bride is awesome, you are a lucky husband... let her have a tractor.
Andy, top tip. Heat rises, so have a low wattage fan or two, up in the roof, pointing down into the living spaces. 😉
Been following on fb for a while. I'll watch a ton here too, thanks Andy! ❤
Heck yeah man! Looks great! Best chicken house I ever done did see. Haha. Love the channel. Much love and God Bless.
Great video thank you for sharing your chicken coop with us😊😊

What a couple beautiful days you had workin and filmin in this video. Awesome job. God bless.😊❤
Monday night delight, the cutest helper sparing with the best chicken house carpenter in the state. Hands down.
Andy, you deserve a POB(Pat on Back). Keep up the great videos! You need a TV show.
It’s crazy how you still have snow on the ground and down in Alabama everything is yellow from the pollen. Love the content.
I didn’t know you were on TH-cam, I always watched on Facebook. 🤠
Great videos and channel. I used to work for an old guy whom is no longer with us, his would always say “you ain’t made of sugar and shit floats, get to work”. Sure miss that man and it’s always stuck with me.
Its tuesday and my boy andy has added his weekly chicken house 🏠 video! I look forward to your weekly endeavors! Keep those chickens warm!😊
I love that you’re on TH-cam more now. As far as long videos, in my opinion, the longer the better. I’ll definitely be watching every video. Keep trucking brother.
My Wife and I love all of your Video's.
As always We love ya,and God Bless ❤
Gee Andy, thank you for the overly complicated roofing video. I will watch your videos every Monday night and promise to build every chicken house exactly as you have.
Looks good Andy.
Admiration of a job well done.
I build post frame building on the side and purlin/roofing day gets the most out of your arm and hammer with those 60p nails! Love the channel!
I enjoy your love of the cheap but good and your humor at life's bumps along the way, good luck in your future endevors.
Ice dam is a big concern in extremely cold areas, nice way to avoid it and as always, great job and video
Love your content. Keep it coming!
Thank you! Will do!
Andy, you're a machine!
I built this exact cold roof in Vermont 3 years ago. It's been great.
I have never heard of a cold roof design, but it’s very intriguing. Good job man.

Thank you Andy. I think the chickens will love it.
I spaced the metal off of my roof decking approx 2", vented the ridge and the eaves, makes the house somewhat cooler, good luck!
Good on ya Sir 👍. My wife and I did the same roof system last summer on a lil cabin and it is a ton of work but worth it in the long run!
That international is the best investment you've ever made!
You are an absolute fantastic funny couple!!
I like it, maybe one thing I would added is a layer of plastic wrap on top of the foam, so the water will run off instead of into the bottom 2×4, but it should be decent.

I can't wait to see the sequel... I hope it's somewhere I can't find it LOL "I'm just thinking like a raindrop!" 😂
The Bruce Lee style of roof building. “Be like a rain drop”.
Did you need any flashing or sealant anywhere? I really like it . Real ingenuity there friend.😊
I've never heard of this type of roof. I am eagerly awaiting part 2.
Nice work
I would have added a sheet of foam between your vertical stringers. That would give you R15! :)
Love the build brother!
Good job Andy!
Quote of the vid "I'm thinking like a raindrop" Andy you are a legend
As a carpenter, I think it looks great.
As long as it keeps the chickens warm, it's a win - I hope they enjoy the beauty of those exposed beams!
Basically nailed insulated pallets to your roof, I like it.
I was shocked to see this on a garage building from the 60's, or 70's. The differences were, the 2x4's, gave the full height of 3.5", for the air gap.

The Chickens will be warm and dry! Nice progress!
Beautiful job ❤

Roofs needs to breath or it rots faster then water damage from rain.
Ive never thought like a raindrop before. It sounds.... moist😂
This is very similar to how we do our timber frame roofs for our log homes
Great video!
The air gap might help keep whatever snow builds up from melting which can act as more insulation as well.
Love when I see a new Andy video🙂
Them chickens are going to be pretty cozy!
Nice build
Andy, I have a quick question about your channels for me and everybody else who wants to see you get paid for your amazing work.

That's a smart system! Way to go!
Great video as usual keep them coming
I would just like to say
Andy ur awesome
Not as cool as Carlos but ur really great
Love the videos
Your "chicken coupe" is being built with used, free or extremely cheaply acquired material and is built better than any new house today
There's your mistake right there, assuming the boss is only the assistant! Only cost you one tractor this time! 😂
LOL, ,makes perfect sense! Andy, I like your style. Keep doing what you're doing, we keep watching. That's going to be the dadgummest non leaking chicken house in .............County! (what county do you live in?)
I'd rather not say. Don't need the building inspector after me.. lol
Very good job brother I really like it you did a good job on that roof even though it was a little more complicated to listen to LOL but hey what kind of tractor you got if you don't mind let me know thank you sir
I’ve got that exact color scheme Dixxon flannel shirt.
Your way to keep a tile roof cool over sheathing in a hot climate is to use purlins. The air space does it.
"Cuz that's where it landed." Truer words...
