Yeah it didn't seem like the were concerned about it when they built it in 1949. Maybe they weren't anticipating it lasting 70+ years haha

Ah that's a great idea! I have so many keys for my truck 😆

Great practice!

Thanks so much! Yeah it's been a great excuse to spend time together ☺️

😆😆😆

Aww thank you!

Haha he got lots of attention and treats in my house. I often wish there were a dog door in the fence so he could come visit more.

Thanks! I thought so, too :)

Thanks! I feel so lucky to have found this house. I wanted an older one and so many in this area in my price range (7 years ago) needed a lot of work.

I went to work on my own curb appeal today, too 😆

@@danielrvilla😂😂😂❤

Always nice to have extra hands and Alice was able to be the morale booster when the stain was wrong on a few boards and one was warped :)

Thanks so much, Melvin! Very much appreciated 😊🙏

The insurance company is completely in their right to do this. I wouldn't blame them for not insuring you if something happened.

Haha I for sure want to keep it in good condition. I was annoyed about the roof because it was clearly ok, and the roof inspector in fact said it was probably good for 10 more years.

Hahaha it wasn't hard to summon that face. That letter was so annoying!

@@danielrvilla so obnoxious - also super expensive what they require you to do. will you change insurance company?

I can't because I have a claim history (for $0 since they wouldn't cover my sewer line repairs) and other companies won't quote even :|

Super irritating! Good thing you're handy, 😊.

Glad it was clear! 😀

Haha it was indeed, Nick! Notice I was never standing on the top of a ladder 😉

Ah I had tried using a shrinker-stretcher without any success, and the jaws weren't big enough for this aluminum either! Yeah my mom is great :) Great to learn some of the terminology - haha as you can tell I was just using words that made sense to me. I did think about doing marine grade plywood but wow it was expensive. What did you use? The plan for this trailer is to be stationary and under an additional metal roof, so I'm hoping it won't get so wet.

Thanks for the kind words! It is indeed a ton of work and seeing glimpses of what it can be is motivating. And I'm not claiming to be an expert here or anything, this is just the way I figured out how to diy it. :)

It felt like we spent a lot more time on it than that! I think it took up a lot of mental space haha

Only 28 hours?! Seemed like many more! Fun riveting though, 😁. And VERY satisfying to see the outcome on this part of the project.

Thanks so much, Lau! It was a fun project and very satisfying in both outcome and use of second-hand materials. :)

Yes! I got it from my uncle and it's super handy. I just need a bigger workshop haha

Thanks, Bea! Riveting is really satisfying - trying to think of other things I could make with it.

Haha who doesn't love learning about septic systems?

Haha glad it was helpful, Bea! ;)

It hasn't been very hot since installed - the door faces south so the garage gets very hot in the summer. So we'll know more in the coming months!

Thanks! I thought this one might be hard to adapt and was giving it a try - it didn't seem like UA-cam liked to share non-vertical videos as other attempts had gone almost nowhere.

Haha yes it cost a lot! I was very disappointed the county wouldn't let me install myself. They inspect it regardless!

Here in Tacoma they make Tagro soil at the waste water plant and some people here swear by it for their gardens, edible and ornamental alike!

basically a bunch of pipes laid out slightly underground and when the tank gets full water is released into these pipes, where it then soaks into the ground. Great for agriculture, you can usually find a drain field by looking for super healthy grass

Haha yes exactly! My mom's backyard is particularly green over the drain field

Thanks! :)

"nobody" really thinks how all our utilities work, we just assume they do.

Yeah I didn't appreciate my sewer connection until it failed and had to use a porta potty for several days!

Haha I never felt very comfortable up there! I'm glad the pitch of the roof is not as steep for the first three feet or so.

Haha it was pretty hard to get it into position in there!

Yeah they look so good!

Bad shop class experience?

@@danielrvilla yep same for powerdrills, sometimes when im falling asleep i just get flashbacks of sweating over a powerdrill trying to drill into a metal U beam and the feeling of the metal bending under the force and the tool slipping and making a huge noise

I agree dude. Not only main advantage but sometimes the original function. Most rivets I've done have not been accessible hence the use of rivets lol

Yes, definitely a huge plus of the pop rivet. Plus the tool is a lot cheaper!

Ah I thought it might take a couple views but at least show them together for "easier" comparison. Thanks, I'll try it serially next time!

@@danielrvilla honestly, figure out if it's more profitable when/if you're at that point and see if it's better to have 200% view time vs longer shorts profit wise ;)

Haha I'm a long way from that! Maybe one day I'll be able to make that calculation ;)

Ugh that's awful especially if you have to have it for your mortgage. I guess I'm lucky that they gave me over a year to comply.

Good question! I had to ask around a lot before I found anybody who had a similar story. Sounds like this might become more common and saw a headline about insurance companies using satellite images to see how your roof is doing.

Yeah, forced to have it for home since I have a mortgage and imagine it would be a rare occasion they would pay anything out.

@@danielrvilla Pretty well there for total home destruction and nothing else. Wish they just call it catastrophe insurance and save all our time. They give catastrophe charge for total coverage and pocket the difference between the two.

@@richardmenz3257 Ah yes, that would be a better term for it!

Ah I still haven't tried that! I did call the attorney general's office but they couldn't do anything. Yes, a metal roof would be great. Now I know I have 10 years to save up for one!

Simply: they sent an inspector months ago who concluded my roof had "reached its life expectancy" and to replace it or get a five year roof certificate. They would never pay me back for replacing a roof. The roofer who did give me the certificate said he'd only seen insurance companies pay if a tree or branch fell on a roof. Basically I think they wanted me to prove my roof was ok so they would never have to fight a claim for leak damage in the future.

@@danielrvilla everybody here is filing damage claims and getting new roofs. are you in a market where they will drop coverage or something. like i dont understand what leverage ins thinks they have to demand any of this

@@johndonovan7018 Maybe their leverage was on me since I had asked if they could help cover my damage sewer line, which triggered a claim in their system even though they couldn't, and so they know I'm essentially stuck with them?

Haha feels like it sometimes! Frustrating to feel like I had no options.

Very frustrating! I even called to speak to another inspector and they said the first inspector's conclusion "was our opinion"

Would be great to start tomatoes and such early with it 😋

Yeah and this 5-year roof certificate thing seems fairly new and uncommon 🤨

haha, the whole reason I did the campaigns! ;)

Yes, it's been frustrating to say the least and now the end is in sight!

And now back to the others...

So glad it was useful and thanks for the kind words!
