If you missed the last video showing the installation of the roof windows which ended up causing an 'extreme' transformation, be sure to check out that video here. th-cam.com/video/-R-y9L645gs/w-d-xo.html :)
Since a few people have asked about the vented tiles and if they let water in, the roofer, Jacob, told me the following: "The vented tiles have a built in tray that sits below the grill. This takes in the water, which then run out the bottom and down over the tiles below".
@@andymccabe6712 I asked where the water runs after it enters those vents because I was curious how they shed water while also ventilating the roof and not allowing water into the structure. Under eave soffit vents are the standard approach where I live, so I'd still like to see a cutaway of the tiles to get a better sense of how they work.
The roof tiles are gorgeous ☺️ I’d love to have a roof installed that could last 100 years! Tiles like this can be found in the American SW & California. Here in the Pacific NW, the equivalent would be slate tiles, but with the amount of rain we get, even metal roofs have to be carefully engineered to prevent trapped moisture and the resulting mold & rot of the roof underlay. Cheers 💚
Am thoroughly enjoying these brief but tremendously informative vids, George. The process of this renovation is nothing less than fascinating and engaging. Thank you for taking all of us with you on this journey. Looking forward to the next series. Acknowledging the body-breaking effort this all takes with Jacob and his crew!
You now have a brand new roof for your new home: I hope that these roof tiles last for 100 years!!!!! The skylights/roof-windows, are a great asset to your new home. Beautiful!
It's always interesting to see the difference in doing things in different countries. In Germany we typically use 4cm strong counter battons so I was amazed to see those thin strips going in. Also there are way stricter rules regarding the inclusion of the Velux windows in the second watertight barrier. The way it's done here looks like water could just run inside over the window if there's a leak in the tiles.
Hi George and Gentlemen of the roof !! It looks very nice. They did a great job and the Velux lights are a very nice addition. Now, onto the inside of the build !! YAY !!
Hey George, quite a captivating ceramic tile roof with those sky-light windows which add that special look to your home! I'm sure many of your viewers would like to go to Scottland to see the finished renovation of your magnificent home!😊
Hi George 😺 Watching from Canada 🇨🇦 This is so different from the way we do our roofs here. I’m not a roofer but I’ve watched them done over the years. So interesting. Everything is looking so good!
Another Canadian here. One stormy day my Mom was watching the roof across the road blowing bits off so she told the people who lived there about it. The woman said, and I quote, “oh, we’re just renting.” 🤨🧐 Nice of her to care about it, huh 🤔
We don't use a base layer of wood - it is just the roof trusses, a sheet of plastic insulation and then batons on toip with ceramic tiles affixed to it. That said our climate is moderate - we don't get snow and it rains about 4 months in the year and we don't use the roof spaces for living - usually the geyser and electrical/plumbing conduits are located there.
Love this new reno project...in fact its my favorite out of all your other project and videos. Like the short video length too. Just enough time to see a great transformation and not belaboring anything...very satisfying!
George, you are so lucky to have found Sean Paul and the great roofers. In Canada, we definitely don’t have people with their level of skills probably because we have so few buildings that are worth saving. Mostly old houses get bulldozed.
Cripes! You should send that video to housing associations. I rent in a Guinness property. We had scaffolding up for 4 months for roof repairs. 4 months later: the few replaced tiles are already cracked, missing or covered in moss and weeds; the guttering is cracked and overflows; the roof still leaks throughout the building. Your video is fantastic - but saddens me also to think what social landlords are NOT doing for their tenants. Keep up the great work, George!
This video was very interesting. Between the light music, your odd bleeping, the before and afters and finally the beautiful scenery, it's easy to get hooked.
Love your videos and always appreciate (no matter who the TH-cam creator is) the shorter ones. I enjoy videos in the morning with my coffee. Those who want me to invest 45mins to an hour in watching a single video had better be offering something I simply can't live without. Normally, I prefer to watch several short videos over one long one. Your project is coming along so nicely! Love the roof windows.
Your content is so interesting! I love seeing the differences between Scottish and US construction. While the roof tiles are beautiful, I don't think they'd fair well in hurricanes and tornados and earthquakes. Lol. And I don't think our little stick built houses could support their weight plus snow. Haha. But they're so charming!
Looks really beautiful! Curious how much the tiles cost to do your roof? Where I live, a roof lasts about 12 -15 years before it needs replaced due to hail damage, etc. I would love to see a shot of your house looking down from the mountain behind it when you are done!
I'm totally hooked on the progress of your new home! I look forward to seeing each new episode in your series. May God bless you, your brother, and your family always 🙏 in your life journey in your new home and with your AirBnB experience, Patchy. I wish you all the very best!
Just commenting on this one vs your cat review video that got picked up by the algorithm. No disrespect to your cute kitty but your renovation video series is the one deserving hundreds of thousands of views and like. The trades people you worked with are amazing and talented people and it's one of the most entertaining and easy to follow renovation series I've seen on YT. Deborah Joinery and McGill are 2 impressive companies with crazy talented folks. They deserve recognition by millions.
So happy for you George. I'm happy for myself as well to have found you near the beginning of creating your channel. The crew is awesome, I enjoy your commentary and seeing each video.
Nice looking new pantiles, I’ve never seen dry ridge tiles before, a clever idea, I like the low profile vented tiles, I’ve only seen the type with a raised cowling, another good idea.
Our vacation home in Florida has a tile roof (which was 20 years old, you really were lucky to get over 100 years!) We had to replace our roof 2 years ago...after a hurricane (we have these things in Florida 😂), the cost to replace the tile roof was more than $46,000! Your roof looks lovely since the replacement.
For roof tiles in Great Britain I’d say 100 years is a decent bench mark, still millions of houses with original 19:century slate tiles, also 16 century properties with clay or stone tiles, thatch roofs from reed as well in some regions, expect about 25 years of weathering for thatch.
Very informative video. Thank you for sharing everything step by step and explaining as you go. I prefer how you are doing this, one section at a time. The ones that jump all over the place are very confusing. Can not wait until the next video. P.S. Have the roofers ever tried knee pads, the kind flooring guys use? I would think it would help protect the knees a bit.
Beautiful surroundings. My husband has been a carpenter for 40 years which included roofing. His poor body is now a mass of aches and pains with arthritis in both hands, shoulders and knees 😒
pretty astute of you to think about the toll it takes on the health of roofers (& trades in general). it's a serious consideration for anyone thinking about getting into the field. and why it might rightfully cost more to do some jobs.
I love watching people create…this was a deja-wowzer and that sweet young boy was getting right at it doing his part, so cool. I have some questions? Are those roof tiles made of clay? They look like the spanish style roofs you see on old home in Los Angeles, CALIF. Is there a neighbor attached to your home? I see the roof next to yours looks like your old roof. Will your neighbor now have roof envy? 😝🛠️❤
Hi, George, I totally agree with you on the length of videos on TH-cam. Shorter ones are the bomb, so much easier to watch completely. Some of the TH-cam channels videos are WAY too late ng! Who has the time or inclination to watch a one or two hour video? Crazy! 🙄
Looks smashing. Wish I could find roofers like that around here (Ontario)! I need someone to re-do a 60 year-old metal roof on a cottage, but roofers around here don't want to work on anything other than a mansion, because mansions pay more.
These guys are insanely fit. Edit: I just remembered that “fit” means something different in the U.S. than it does in the U.K. No matter; both meanings apply here!
Another good video. I caught a couple glimpses of surrounding buildings in this video. Would it be possible to do a video showing the buildings, streets, and neighborhoods surrounding your house so we can get a fuller understanding of the setting that it is in? Thanks!!
The roof is GORGEOUS, it may not be weathered yet, but the color still looks amazing. The skylight windows for more natural lighting indoors is a phenomenal idea. The area you will be living in looks really beautiful as well. One question: this is going to be your long term home that you spend a majority of your time in, is this also going to be your brothers primary residence, and be spending a lot of his time there with you, or does he travel, or have business that he is gone a lot, and this will be his home base address, that he comes home to in between travel?
(Edited because my initial reply was incorrect). From the roofer, Jacob: "The vented tiles have a built in tray that sits below the grill. This takes in the water, which then run out the bottom and down over the tiles below".
@@Patchy Hi , love your work - just great! And I truly wish you success and Sorry if I am being thick,... the vented tiles ....the rain falls onto the waterproof membrane, if the membrane is waterproof what is the point in having the vent, - is the membrane one way/two way /layered - Have I missed the bus?
It looks absolutely gorgeous! Really loving these house renovation videos. I’m looking to undertake a similar project and would love to hire Deborah Joinery, they’ve done such an amazing job so far. Just have to figure out a way to convince them to come to Glasgow though..
At the very end of the video there are beautiful high hills visible, I wonder if you ever thought about exploring those ?And if you already did what’s in there ?There is nothing like Scottish country, I wish I could visit there because it’s just so gorgeous out there 🌳🪨🍀💚 Thank you for the interesting chronicles George 👍
I just want you to know - your videos are very informative, and your voice/presentation is most relaxing! Thanx for your expert presentations ... most appreciated and anticipated, from episode to episode. :)
A truly magnificent job 👋😀👋 congratulations to Jean Paul his team and your great cinematographic eye to support this amazing guys 🥰 I hope they will skyrocket with lots of new housing construction requests ! ✅£🍀

So beautiful! I like the shorter vids but would still watch longer ones. I love your videos they are calming, informative and I love your puns.
Glad you like them!
Like deja roof. 😂
The roof is looking pretty spiffy, George! Great job from the roofers. ♥
What a great roof job, George. You hired some very good people.

100 year old roof 🥰 that’s why I love UK🇬🇧
Traditional, best architecture, best people ❤
The roof looks amazing, I'm glad that most of the original wood held up over 100 years and didn't need to be replaced.
It does! Really happy with the job they did!
@@PatchyI would move to Scotland in a jiffy if I could 🥰

Hi George and Gentlemen of the roof !! It looks very nice. They did a great job and the Velux lights are a very nice addition. Now, onto the inside of the build !! YAY !!
Cheers Jeremy! Plenty more to come from the inside!
This was fascinating, I'm glad they were okay for us to watch the job progress.
I do love a good renovation. It’s also nice to hear about future proofing the building, and not about tips for optimising resale value.
Your roof look’s great, very professional contractors.
Hey George, quite a captivating ceramic tile roof with those sky-light windows which add that special look to your home! I'm sure many of your viewers would like to go to Scottland to see the finished renovation of your magnificent home!😊
Having been twice, A third trip to Scotland sounds quite lovely.
The tile application process is quite relaxing to watch, seeing how they all slide into and are hammered into place
Wow excellent work in just 2 days! Can't wait for the day you and your brother get to move in, and start decorating.
Certainly was! And me too!
What a gorgeous looking roof & new windows!

The shorter vids dedicated to specific elements of the build is better I agree. Great journey
Thanks George!
George,thanks for the update. I'm sure its going be beautiful when all is said and done.
I'm sure it will be! :)
What stunning landscape! Hope you make a seating area at the 2nd level in the rear overlooking your backyard. 🤞
This is so amazing AND so fun (!) what with soft-spoken, clever fellow you doing the narration! Love it; am avidly following. Thanx, George - thanx!!
What a difference. Very satisfying to look at. And so quick and professional. It's obviously second nature to these guys.

So great to see young men getting age-appropriate work experience. It's invaluable.
I like the short videos with focus on one detail.
Interesting and meticulous construction method.
How did you waterproof around the skylights (roof lights)?
What about the adjoining roof? Is that a seperate dwelling even though it's attached to your place?
Marvellous job, expertly done!
Agree!
Really great video, George. Super content.
I like the shorter format for sure. What is the composition of the new tiles? (doesn't look like clay/ceramic).
This is fun Patchy! I so enjoy your channel. Thanks!
Excellent job.
Do you plan to replace the roof on the back side of the house too? It looks amazing.
Really amazing workmen!! ❤😊❤
