      Now get involved before all these social market driven economy types destroy Natural Order and Real Life Skills. Because of all you city slickers there is nothing remaining of Real Life and all the good things if life have been stolen and credited to social order, the little that you get to see.

    Just adding some info about the "soaker" material, as at 9:40 he seems to be unsure how to explain the properties...: that DPC is designed to be a water barrier between the foundations and walls of a brick house. It's very durable indeed and will outlast the wood even with exposed parts to UV light. It has been given black pigment specifically to prevent UV penetration, so only the outer few molecular layers will deteriorate from sunlight. It's also designed to withstand sharp edges of concrete or brick, so it won't rip from any splinters or sharp edges it may touch, even when the structure moves slightly in the wind. Good choice :))

    In Cape Cod Mass. The first 9 courses from the ground shingle siding two layers on top of each other then up 1/8 inch then upma inch two inches three inches 4 inches to the weather then every 5 to five and ca half inches to the weather this with ceadet or redwood prevents bugs nailed with stainless steel ring shank nails iO used this methoid on my lands in Nova Scotia that has high winds 60 mph or 100 kph for a week at a time this is at the exstream southern tip of Nova Scotia Canada at the end of a 5 km long penisulia the Genetal Forbes Crown Land Grant ! Love the wood roof shingles idea when you cut the trees you would cut them so you eliminate the branches 16 to 19 inches long so you have clear wood no knots ! I used white cedar clear !

  • @jonm2416
    @jonm2416 5 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    I'm curious as to the reason you space the shingles tightly. With perfections and even rough cedar shake we always spaced them 1/8" to 3/16" to prevent cupping. I believe you said it was chestnut? Are the properties different to cedar requiring this tight spacing?

    Loved wood work since school in Dagenham, 48-58, and have been splitting shingles from red boxwood in winter, for kindling, but now at 74 living in the land of OZ, wondering , WHY is he choking the claw hammer? More interesting than a truckload of DVD's

    • @jasonmaguire9425
      @jasonmaguire9425 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      "Choking the hammer" I wonder whether it was the angle of the roof at that point as it kicks up but it might be to have 'less bounce' in the hammer since the baton is bouncing so much. Perhaps if they'd have put small' inter-rafters' between the existing ones they would have less bounce. Just a thought. I work on old French roofs now and then that use planks to put roman tiles on but of course the rafters are usually substantially sized pieces of oak and they don't bounce much.

    @BerniN0686 7 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    Great video, and craftsmanship.
    I would suggest a more durable solution for the corners, wich is used where I live for a long time. As shown on this roof the shingles on the roofcorners are cut into triangles prone to premature breaking because of weathering. What works better is to taper the last 4-5 shingles lightly from top to bottom so that there is no weak triangle if you arrive at the edge. At the edge of the roof the last shingle should overlap the last shingle coming from the other roofplane. The shingle being overlaped should be cut on its corner acording to the angles of the two roofplanes. The overlapping shingel should alternate every shingle row from one roofplane to the other. I hope I am making sence.
    best regards

    @idrek1 7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Instead of using the artifical DPC soaker if you have access to any birch trees you could use the bark for the same purpose. On sod roofed farm houses in Estonia where my family is from they would use birch bark as the water proof layer between the sod and the wood below. The bark life span is about 30 years I have been told.

      @yvindmathiassen7617 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@harryrogers A fun fact, the sod, or turf roof was actually mostly there to keep the birch bark in place. And yes, about 30 years or a generation. Back in the old days in Norway, it was a collective thing to do renewal of the roof when next gen took over the farm. Its all a quite good material, but you need some layers, and with correct quality. But, as history has shown, it doesnt work very well around chimneys and difficult angles. Its where you´re gonna find the damages in old buildings like this.

      Old growth makes such a difference in the finished product. I had 96 yr old cedar that was nice and straight. We downsized a window with new shingles and they cupped really bad. Unless you make your own, it is hard to find anything decent and affordable. What is sad is how many decent logs get turned into firewood.

    Great information and presentation. If you have the time and inclination, could you please explain why the lowest wood tiles do not overhang more? I would think you'd want them hanging over more so as to prevent rain streams from running up under the shingles and constantly wetting the base of the roof. Have a good week, sir.

      Neil George hi, just to get the definitions fixed, the ridge is the horizontal beam/ plank at the top of the roof, parallel to the ‘wall plates’ running around the bottom of the roof. The beams/ planks from each corner, running up to each end of the ridge, are ‘hip’ rafters. The join at the top, is a right fiddle, normally sorting the men from the boys !

      I've been surfing the comments for the answer to this question! It seems like there would be less spacing if shakes go on green, but you'd have to soak them for several days prior to installation to put them on packed tightly, and even then a tiny bit of spacing would seem prudent. ...right?

    Ive been thinking about how wood rots. If wood gets wet and then dry, thats not a big deal as much as one that stays in shade and wet. The sun dries and kills bacteria but the underside of a shingle doesnt get sun. If you burnt the underside of a shake shingle, taking away the bacteria's "food", wouldnt it greatly lengthen the lifespan of a roof?

    When nailing, if you hold the hammer correctly you bend less nails and use less energy driving the nail in...

    I'd love to ask John more about his work. Do you know where he is located, and how can I contact him?

      You mean the corners? He didn't do those properly. That's why he used the plastic flashing there.

    Why do you blunt the nails?

    • @pegjames188
      @pegjames188 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      It stops the nails acting as a wedge and splitting the timber. By blunting the nail it punches through the grain without splitting. PS another little tip told to me many years ago,when skew nailing ;eg to tighten a timber joint , if you put a slight bend bend in said nail as it's hammered in it will pull up tight.

    The lowest shingle has no other shingles underneath, and they have thickness, so therefore you make the baddens thicker.
    I put my shingles just between two badden, no problem, never fall.

    I am building a roof like this on a goat house and the distance he indicates between batons is misleading. At the 49 second mark he indicates the 5" distance is measured from the top edge of one to the top edge of the next. I made a mistake and used 5" between each baton. Apparently our mistakes cancelled out because what I am doing seems to be what he actually did.
