    Been watching from Maine. I grew up in the Black Hills. 600,000 bikers around the Hills area every August. I can say I don't miss that part. Lost cabin of forgotten times whether made out of logs or timber you could see them in South Dakota, Wyoming and Montana. Driven through all 3 states seeing them cabin out on the prairie or tucked in-between hills. Most of them I knew as a kids are now gone. This is a treat to watch.

    Not only is metal more cost-effective, it is also consistent with period buildings. Like how you applied some "good thinking" to get to the truss solution. If I had to guess, I would say Robbie's think session while lying on the deck was helpful!! Those meatballs sure looked good!

    I would vote for the corrugated roof. Not just monetarily. But you’re trying to save this cabin and I think it’ll be safer than having the cedar shakes. Wildfires are just getting worse and worse these days.

    Certainly the first cabins had sod, shingles (oak or cedar), lapped sawn lumber, and corrigated metal. Because your cabin was/is wood framed and sided, it would certainly look period with metal. I don't see to many oak or cedars when you pan around the ranch! Good solving the out of square problem.

    • @Montana_Ranch_Rescue

    metal - then later when time and money permit, put a cedar layer OVER the metal, second skin in effect, with air gap , so u keep the insulation, weather proofing, and tension properties of the metal, but can ornament with the much more attractive cedar - will be very stable and more fire proof too! - nice new zinc roof, looks the part but weathers so fast, especially if you paint live yoghurt onto it - this will age and patina the new metal quickly if you dont want/ like the new metal looking vibe!

      That yogurt trick sounds interesting! I’m on the hunt to see if we can find some already weathered tin from a farmer and swap them for new roofing. That way we get to aged beauty of old galvanized 🤷🏻‍♀️ Worth asking, right?

    I’d do metal. Cedar shakes would look fantastic, but the metal will also look good and its thriftiness is keeping with the spirit of how a homesteader would have built a cabin.

    Hope not too late to the metal vs shingles choice.
    As much as shingles look great and would give the cottage that authentic look and feel, I would go metal because it is more fire resistant, seals more against wind, dust and water (as less micro gaps).
    The windy planes of Montana would mean possibly more repairs/upkeep on shingles.
    Although like someone else in the comments mentioned, why not tin roof now and later on when funds are avaialble do shingles over the top. As they mentioned it would also insulate more and you’d have the authentic look you’re trying to replicate.
    Also, if shingles and metal were used by the pioneers (as mentioned at start of the video), there is no shame in using metal now.
    I think if the pioneers had access to metal when the original cottage was built, I have a good feeling they would use metal as it is more durable.
    Maybe they used shingles back in the day because it was cheaper and more avaialble than metal was back in those days.
    Keep up the great work restoring history. Greetings from Down Under (Australia).
