- Pa Mac demonstrates how to install a wood shingle roof on his new log chicken house. Using old-fashioned tools and simple raw materials, this old time, self-sufficient, and sustainable skill can be practiced by young and old alike on the small farm, and especially by those who enjoy raising chickens. This is episode #20 of The Farm Hand's Companion Show.
Be sure and subscribe to the Farm Hand's Companion channel to keep up with the progress as Pa Mac takes an undeveloped piece of property and turns it into a small subsistence farm. Watch for new episodes as often as Pa Mac can crank 'em out and still run a small farm. (As long as he's alive and kicking, he's most assuredly farming and filming!)

Thank you for your support!
Always glad to see a new video from FHC, it makes my day!
Greetings! I'm so glad to have found your video. It was informative and entertaining to say the least. Thanks for sharing your artwork and making me smile. 👍🇨🇦
I thought you didnt finish the job cause you were in the Pokey ...chuckle and a giggle
Just when I get to thinking you don't have anything left for us you come out with a new video! And awesome as always.
Oh, I'm full of it, I assure you. Thanks for watchin', Honey Hollow Homestead.
Great to see you back.
Your detail and schtick has been missed.
Good to see you again, Pa!
Our farm had the first lumber mill in Walker co. We still have a small tank that's called the shingle mill tank. That being said.... I've never been so thankful for tin as while watching this video. Even so, Ive always wondered and now I know. Thank you so much for sharing so we could all learn the how.
Great to see you back!!
I loved your precise method of measurement. Enjoyed watching the video.
I get thrilled to see a new episode within a week or two and this was one , WOOT, WOOT
Another tremendous episode. Hope the Caddo Mercantile business is booming ! Cheers, Pa Mac
Everything's goin' well, Cassian YHVH. Good to hear from you
Great video and AWESOME music!!!
Yes! A new FHC episode, just what my morning needed! :) Thanks for the update, the chuckles, the inspiration, and of course the old-timey wisdom. Always a pleasure to watch!
I appreciate that, Back to Reality. Keep up your good work and channel!
where are you guys?
'Tis a fine chicken house.
Glad to see you put a hard hat on to cut the big oak, now if you would wear some chaps and hearing protection I'd feel a lot better. Great video, thank you... be safe!
So glad to see you back! Great video! Looking forward to more. God bless y’all ❤️
It seems that you're building a chicken retirement home, as those chickens will be too old to lay any eggs by the time you're finished with it LOL!!! Just kidding. I love your videos.
Beautiful! How do the shingles hold up only being nailed at the top like that? Seems like the wind would get under them and loosen them up? (I don't know anything about shake roofs :) )
I love it. Fix'n to go cut up some red oak firewood. There are some large logs in it that I wanted to do this with. You've definitely nailed my idea home. Thank you.
Welcome back, we missed you!
I'm never gone for too, long. Thanks for watchin' the show, Essential Mountain Homesteading!
Ah! Finally another video! I saw it and jump right on. I love your videos! You make learning new things or new ways to do things fun! Best way to teach. Bravo!!!
Thank you so much, Ella!
Awesome video as usual. Keep em coming
Congrats on your largest tree so far. Glad to see that hard hat on ya. I love the shakes. I wish I had them on everything. Love the old ways.
Some of the music in your videos is like listening to someone drag finger nails across a calk board!
Really? All the music? Or just the satirically comical fiddle piece called "The Old Cow, She Crossed the Road" which, like all the tunes on the FHC Show, are available for purchase and download on a number of fine online music outlets like iTunes and Amazon Music, etc.? music.apple.com/us/album/homemade/1213324248
That was great , clearly explained and easy to watch . Can't get better , only a few differences on this side of the puddle , all good .
Great video 👍🇬🇧
I've been watching you're channel for a while now someday I wish to start a farm in wisconsin one of my old favorite youtubers died two years ago(Ronnieboy2rdot) so that channels gone a lot of youtube channels I watched when I first started youtube are now gone and if not gone they are clickbaiting for income anyway I found out you're in arkansas welcome to the state of never ending rocks!
I appreciate that, 1984 chevy c30
Was this one of the longest duration of time between start & finished video? A few seasons came & went it seems... great video! Gives a sense of time to compare too.
Ever heard that if you split your shingles on the wrong moon they will curl up? Old guy I trusted growing up swore this but I never believed it, he also wouldn’t cut his hair except on specific moon phases though, always seemed silly to me but this guy was amazing.
Great Work!😀
Are you alive and kicking in Jan 23
As far as can tell; workin' on more shows and other videos
I like intro
Towsends needs to see this
more videos please
Stop work, a new show from FHC!!! 👍👍
Awesome, a new video!! I found your channel just this week looking for barn builds and was hook immediately. I'm currently building a pole barn/blacksmith shop with board and batten siding and have really enjoyed your videos.
Great video! Caint wait to see the chicken house complete
I am so excited you made a new video, you’re my favorite TH-cam channel hands down.
Love it.
I talk entirely too much on my channel and you talk entirely not enough on yours. Lol 😆
Happy trails and thank you for making another video.
Luke
Great to hear from you, Back to the Basics 101. Keep up your good work!
How many years will this roof last? I love it
Probably till I'm about too old to climb up there and redo it. Perhaps my grandkids will help. Thanks for watchin', Hung
That is the most beautiful chicken house I have ever seen!
Your videos are funny and informative.
Absolutely love this channel of yours pa Mac, kind of lifestyle I would have loved to have had from birth but the gods had different ideas for me. Keep safe and keep making these wonderful videos please. Greetings from 🇬🇧
"And the only thing I treated it with (referring to the roof) is love and respect."
Love this statement...today too many contemporary mega, giga, things...too much conventionally oriented mindsets. 😊
Your videos are funny and informative.
Nice to see you again, Enjoy your video it as always.
keep em coming.
greetings form Holland.
Yes, everything will have to wait-- a Pa Mac video! Lol... Sweet relief that that dead oak is down and no one got hurt, well done Pa Mac! Can't wait to see the chicken coop finished!
So I guess we forget about all the SSB guidelines, exposed nails and cracks in shingle are allowing leaks, the nails should not be more the an 1'' to 1 1/2'' above the exposure level, keyways need a space between and the part on top keyways should Never align with keyways below, leaks for sure.
Well done! These videos give me such inspiration! I'd love to be able to do half the things you do!! And congratulations on felling your largest tree! God bless! Take care!
glad you came back!
Love your videos
Always excited for my favorite channel to drop a new, usually long awaited video
As usual, great video ! Very informative ~
I find the "music" annoying. Great videos otherwise
How dome you don't put a notch or "calf" in the base of the tree when cutting it down. It aids in the felling.
i was wondering what the ladder was 4.... so you can reach ..! chuckle and a giggle
That was a long time to have to wait to finish the roof. I salute your patience.
Woohooo! Been waiting so long for this! Awesome! Thanks!
Thank YOU, Tamara
YES!!!
just found your channel! Still watching the old ones but great work so far! thank you for the content!
I appreciate that, Thener!
Way to stay after it. 👍
Just came across your video and I absolutely loved it. Not only did I learn something, I also had a lot of good chuckles. I did subscribe because want to learn more. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and skills with the people who are interested in sharing your passion. Cheers.
I'm do glad you enjoyed the show, Lorenzo!
I am re-watching your video for the umpteenth time. It is a lot more difficult than it looks. I could not imagine doing this type of roofing for a large building. Though I do believe once I get my little shed done, I will have it down. Hopefully my grandkids will be the one redoing the roof. 😂
I've uttered the exact same words about grandkids
Excellent.
Hahaha....that face at the end :D Thank you for these homestead craftsman videos.
You're so welcome, Northern Lassie
He lives!
Well done...love your channel. You're doing a fantastic job. God bless...from the mountains of Eastern Oregon.
That music is awful. It sounds like a cat being tortured. Apart from the music great video. Lol
I like his homemade music.
Thanks again for the information and story, Pa Mac. I'm sure that it was really nerve-racking to cut down that old oak tree. Glad that it went well.
Love these... Just wish you were able to produce more frequently. Quality is worth waiting for though. :)
Chainsaw chaps my dude
Roofing nails seem awfully long. They're going to be hard on the ole noggin
Not if I don't hit 'em they won't. I hope. Thanks for watchin', Gary
Thank you! Always great to see your latest -- will check my notifications as I didn't get this one when I came out!
Awesome. Thank you and God bless you sir
I enjoyed this a lot. And, really liked your solution to holding shakes up high so you can get to them.
Nice videos but some of the most annoying music ever.
So I suppose knowin’ the music’s all from homemade instruments wouldn’t change your opinion at all? farmhandscompanion.com/the-fhc-show/music-of-farm-hands-companion/
Great stuff, thanks fo doing it.
*for
Thank you for sharing, you are quite the craftsman. God bless.
Your just such a pleasure to watch.
Thank you Ana!
You, sir, are an inspiration to me. I find thinking on things results in better project outcomes.
Hiya
Great video!!👍👍 Thanks for sharing with us.
That music is terrible... Annoying
I like it
So glad I woke up to this! Going to be a good day now! Thank you Pa Mac for your wonderful videos, they inspire and make me happy!
i really love your storys you tell in video ....the style you use is awsome ...and your old school ways can not be out done ....cheers
Thank you so much, Grizz270
speed *1.75 makes it watchable and funny :-D
Great, making and using wood shakes...."the yesteryear way".
Really enjoyed video, looking forward to seeing more awesome videos in the future, God bless yall
Why drop that huge old dead Oak in the water?
You didn't like the big splash?
Get rid of the annoying music
You mean get rid of all the music? Or just the satirically comical fiddle piece called "The Old Cow, She Crossed the Road" which, like all the tunes on the FHC Show, are available for purchase and download on a number of fine online music outlets like iTunes and Amazon Music, etc.? music.apple.com/us/album/homemade/1213324248
This video just made my day. I wish you could publish a new one weekly but I'll take what I can get LOL. One of these days I just gotta get down to Cado and visit y'all. Regards and thanks, Frank
When you come visit, Frank, you'll have to remind me that your name is really cuban9splat so I'll know who you are! Thanks as always for watchin'
Can anyone tell me the name of the song that begins this beginning? I've had it stuck in my head forever because of pa mac's vids, but I can't find the orginal! I love this version, by the way. Thanks.
The tune is the old classic "Gossec's Gavotte". (My version is "Gossec's Gallyvante") Thanks for watchin', jmhelfri!
Besides Pa Mac just being generally awesome I'd like to say thank you to the commenters on his channel. There is way more positive comments on here than the TH-cam know-it-alls.
I appreciate all you commenters, too. And you as well, George!
I'm like a 5 year old on Christmas morning when I see that a new FHC video is up and ready to view. As always awesome info with some good wholesome humor. Thanks for the effort to share your knowledge!! You are the man!!
Thanks so much, Happilyretiredmark! Always good to hear from you
Thanks for the video its been some time since you posted one :)
Brasil
Love you vids! Thanks for sharing.
The Chickens are going to be loving that new house.
What are the best woods for shakes
Depends on where you live, Richard.
Red and white oak if you have access to straight grained, very large trees. If you don't, very large pines. Cedars and cypress are other options.
Please upload more lol I love this channel
Talk, reading is annoying with your choice of music
I thought my choice of music was pretty good, given that: 1) It was free, 2) It was made usin' homemade instruments (www.farmhandscompanion.com/the_farm_hands_companion_show/the_music_of_the_farm_hands_companion_show.html). I'm kind of sorry to have annoyed you, Jacob.
Looks so good! this must have taken some time
I learned alot watching this!
how much overhang does he have of the shingles for his roof
Do you mean off the sides or the gable ends?
@@farmhandscompanion
the sides
The best videos.
But please look into the music..
So I suppose knowin’ the music’s all from homemade instruments wouldn’t make you feel better about the music? farmhandscompanion.com/the-fhc-show/music-of-farm-hands-companion/
@@farmhandscompanion thats a nice twist! Didn't know you made them your self. Maybe some more recordings so it not the same tune over and over.
The music is awesome. That's one thing for sure makin' me come back more often.
Pa Mac you may make some more in the same spirit please. 😊
