    Wow, Nice Job! I'm feeling a little foolish being scared to do my chicken coop roof now though, since it's only about 8 feet off the ground! lol

    That a fine looking project, and an impressive work ethic. I'm tackling a roof strip and re-sheath alone this coming week, watching for the best weather I can get in Northern CA as we approach Thanksgiving, so a few questions, if you don't mind: (a) what thickness on the OSB - 15/32", 19/32", or 23/32", (b) capacity of the compressor, 12 Gal, 15 Gal, 20 Gal, and (c) h-clip use at the rafters also to maintain an even expansion spacing?
    Thanks for posting this; some handy tricks in what you do on the roof itself while working. Well done!

      Thanks. I believe it was 7/16" OSB -- that's what's usually used around here, and just did another roof with that. The air compressor is a 6 gallon I believe, but I've switched to Ridgid's new little pancake compressor which I paid $99 for when they introduced it last year I believe. If you're working alone, you don't really need much of a compressor. I'm a full time handyman and I never get out that rolling one anymore. And yes, the H-clip is both to space and to support between rafters. All the best on your project!

      @@FamilyFriendlyDIYMuch appreciate the reply. You have an interesting take on the size of the compressor; someone I know who doesn't like the compressor coming on all the time always works with a large one. One comment on the H-clip is this: even though it provides a spacing, it really doesn't allow for expansion due to the metal separator between the two sheets of OSB. In any case, with 5/8" thickness, I won't use H-clips. Thanks again for the prompt reply. Keep safe, and best of the Thanksgiving season to you and yours!

    Very nice work. I’m super impressed. I have a question. How much gap should I use for my ridge vent?

    • @FamilyFriendlyDIY
      @FamilyFriendlyDIY  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks, and good question, Mike. Usually about an inch gap on each side of the ridge board or ridge blocking. But you could wait to cut the ridge out until you buy the vent. Your particular vent should come with specific instructions on the gap needed. Hope this helps.
