"Sure I can! I once saw this guy, Patrick, do it on Life on the Moose. It's like the best show on UA-cam I've ever seen!" Patrick, I love your attitude ... and it truly is one of the best UA-cam channels out there.
I had to comment as well. I built a tiny house (8' x26' ) all by myself. It was suppose to be a father son project but as soon as I had the subfloor built my son had to have surgery on his knee.that ment It was just me to do the rest. I had many of the same hurdles you did. One trick I did that worked great on the roof was halfway up the panel I had screws that were on the ridges of each panel. I simply laid a two by four on the roof and banged on it with a hammer to leave impressions on the bottom where the screws were. Then I drilled all the holes out at the impressions and backed out the screws and replaced them with longer ones through the two by four. Then I had sturdy footing on the roof and I could shimmy back and forth without moving ladders while I installed the roof cap. Also I only needed to do this on one side it worked great as I don't like heights either. It's been five years now and the project was a great success. No leaks no mice just a lot of relaxation.
I wish I had watched this video right after you made it. My suggestion would have been to install the hardwood floors next and put a recliner in the living room area. LMAO. Great job Patrick. I'm seriously impressed with your ability to put that roof on single handed and to have done such a great job in doing so. I never would have believed you could cut that steel roofing with a box cutter; GENIUS! ! ! Keep up the great work my friend.
My grandfather who was a madter carpenter said this " Where theres a will theres a way" and I use it often with my crew when they say " I cant tjis or that" I have a siding and gutter business here in Ky and finding someone who thinks outside the box is hard Love the videos !
Hey Patrick, thanks for the video. Having been in the siding business for 40 years watching you jump between ladders brings back memories. Remember, “Safety Third”
Nice job! Looks great!! I rebuilt my house in the last 4 years from the ground up to the ceiling. Hurricane Harvey flood water was nearly over my roof. About 3 feet of the roof was sticking out of the water. Ruined everything below the rafters. I built stands and used beams and jacks to lift the roof about 6 inches. I then tore everything out from the ground up and completely built a new house and then sat the roof back down on the new structure I had built. New plumbing, electrical and everything. I enjoy watching you build because I also did all the work by myself. My wife helped with cleanup and paint and what she could when she was home in the evenings. Lots of fun... !!!
Most manufacturers recommend a "stitching screw" for the trim. These are 1/4 headed short screws as they don't intend the trim to be fastened to the sheathing but just to the panel beneath. Also the recommendation for the 5/16 headed screws comes from the fact that some roofs (unfortunately) are sheathed with 1/2" plywood (not as bad but bad) or OSB. If you use 5/8 plywood or 3/4" (best for a quality roof) or minimum 3/4" OSB (I know, most use 5/8 but the holding power of OSB is much weaker than true plywood) then the 1/4" headed screws give you a nice option down the road to refasten the roof if the heads rust by then using the 5/16ths fatter screws without needing to replace the panels if they are holding up well. My own roof 28 ga has the 1/4" headed screws in 5/8 plywood (I bought the house used but put the new steel roof on). After thirty six years of SE Alaska salt air and 180" rainfall plus heavy wet snow with winds of 100 plus once or twice a year and lesser winds on a regular basis it is holding up well with a few more years in it. My shop roof I installed four or five years ago is 24 ga standing seam and should be there fifty years from now, which I won't be! Hardest thing on a steel roof is a roof stack and the harsh chemicals from combustion coating the surrounding roofing. I had an oil boiler with vertical stack for twenty years and it did attack the steel. For the past fifteen years before I went to mini splits for heat I installed a boiler with forced sidewall venting which saved wear on the roof for sure. It also was high efficiency where the old boiler was not so I am sure that helped. You are dead right about overdriving the neoprene gasket on any of the screws. Not only is it a prospective leak but it invites rust to then get in and attack the steel left bare by the threads. Best case is to take a can of matching spray paint and hit the screw heads after installation. Take care. Always risky to work alone, especially off the ground. Been there done that!
Awesome build from footers to ridge, enjoy watching your the details and tricks of the trade. Bonus reward will be those spectacular views when you complete the mountain castle all 4 seasons. Great videos, best regards 👨🌾
Your the guy people need to watch on this stuff, do you ever paint your cut metal edges, and will you show people what right hand left hand and straight snips are really for when you do the trim downstairs, nice job
Hi Patrick 👋 It’s good to be able to to join you on your job site again. Always looking forward to seeing your videos on building a cabin by yourself! I’m pretty sure putting on the roof was a real pain, moving the ladders way more times than you wanted to, my hat is off to you, good job all around Patrick 👏👏 See you on your job site soon, I’m looking forward to joining you!
I love it when people tell me I can't do something. Its the inspiration I use to prove them wrong. Finish the sheathing and windows before the snows hit. great progress so far!
Glad I could help with the roof! It’s a bear to do by yourself!! And potentially dangerous or a high likelihood for accidents if not careful! Doing great Patrick me boy! I say get that cabin closed up and dried in. Winter is coming soon! Leave the trees and that stuff for spring. JMHO!
If I do decide to do any roof in my future? I will certainly not make that High a pitch. OR I will hire a crew. Well done. Can't wait to see what the viewers pick. Me? Not sure, maybe the rest of the sheathing? Stay safe and well
You did a great job figuring out how to do this by yourself. Yes not OSHA approved but definitely bushcraft approved. Loved it! Thank you for sharing the attention to the details. Looking forward to the next one.
Just found and subscribed. Great videos (I've watched 2 so far). Can I ask where you're located? Getting ready to build something similar next summer here in Alaska. Even though I've already done a few projects like this I've already learned a few things from you.
I was thinking clothespin on that tar paper. Your idea was much better and stronger. When I see a new "Life on the Moose" video appear, the 1st thing I do is give it a thumbs UP, cause I know it's gonna be GREAT 💛
Don't normally comment but you compelled me to! Great job! Enjoying your videos! One thing that helps me a lot (one project-by-myself guy to another) is clamps! Need to build a studio for my wife and this looks a lot like what I'm looking to do. So thank you for the inspiration!
Spend the money and get those cobalt drill bits. I once had a cheap set from Menards and while they worked, once i got a good set, i threw the cheap ones in the trash. Also i might copy your design to build a nice backyard shed/future home when my wife kicks me out of the house...i'm putting a minisplit in mine.
I'm really enjoying your series. Still on the fence about buying property though. It might happen. But to answer your question...no, we can't see the snow because your videos are washed out and overexposed. Occasionally the camera that's on a tripod looks BEAUTIFUL! The sky is blue, and the trees are green. Use that camera more.
Actually I only use one camera for everything, and all of my video is raw and untouched. The difference your seeing is, when the IPhone records in ‘time lapse’ mode, it saturates the colors as a result of its ‘compression.’ But when I speed up regularly recorded footage during editing, it does not have that affect. I appreciate you watching and noticing!
There are foam “blockers” that have a sticky face side to use at the top and bottom of the sheets. They keep insects like wasps, bees, flies, etc from living and breeding in the openings of the sheet metal. Nothing worse than having wasps and bees building hives in your roof sheeting!
Man you sure are a good feller to work with I had fun. Great job. Done similar all part of life. We'd keep some cloths around lader ends. Most of time we would put a full scaffold on one side. 2x8 supports legged down to ground and we had dedicated 2x12 or 2x10 walk boards for years back when you could get good close grain popular and not this heavy wet spruce stuff. good job
@@LifeontheMoose Bit of an act to a presentaion. Done it for years addressing hundreds with safety presentations. Place id looking really good. Time to hang some meat up for the winter.
You must be in great shape! That many trips up and down the ladder……….the next day I might be too sore to walk! Great job. I’d like to see you finish off the eves and close up the outside walls. Thanks Patrick for the fun video.
Why are the roof screws fixed in the “valley” of the profile rather than the ridges edit Asked too soon - manufacturers rec - things are different between countries
if the foam pipe insulation is not thick enough buy some pool noodles , pool noodles around the lip of a home depot. lowes bucket bucket make for a soft makeshift toilet
Excellent. I built a 20x20 carport a few years ago up on my property, but it doesn't have a 12/12 pitch, more like 5/12. Would share a photo but don't see that I can. Soon I'll be converting the carport to a little cabin. In the next few years planning on building a 1.5 story 20x36 small house on the same property. It will have a 12/12 pitch and dog house dormers 😀
Ive been watching you build your cabin...I haven't built a cabin yet, but plan on it one of these days! I did build this 2 years ago...12x12 she shed, not perfect, but I love it! Amd proud to say...I DID IT! Humm...can I post a pic?
I am going through a rough patch in life and came across this channel. I love the off grid series and it provides me a break from my reality. I am grateful and enjoy this channel.
I will be installing R-panel metal roofing, just like your metal there, and the company who sold me the metal, told me to use the 2-1/2” gasketed screws on the highest point of the R-panel and NOT on the flats! That will make it more difficult, but more waterproof, they said! But it’s looking great, anyways! Great job, doing it solo, just like me!
Nice, what size cabin? And how long panels, I have 20 panels 9ft long and I’m trying to figure out how big of cabin I can build while still having atleast a 4/12 pitch… not sure if a 12x28 is too narrow or if I can push it to 14x28. Thanks brother
'Think you should work towards closing in the sides! Weather, weather!!! Also, I have rental property that I'm always working on... by myself. I've gotten to where I like working alone, even though it's slower cause you have to continously come up with ways to solo perform jobs regularly intended for two people.
Great video. What is your strategy going to be for roof insulation? I thought I had it figured until I saw the paper and gasket taped ridge cap over what I expected to be a vented ridge.
Just good ole batted insulation. That ridge still breathes enough for this cabin. In this climate and for the time this will be heated, I’m confident the moisture won’t be an issue. Thanks for asking and for watching!
@@LifeontheMoose are the batts going to stood off the inner roof skin in any way? I assume your vapor barrier will be on the inner surface of the rafters? I'm at ~7500ft in the Rockies but everything I learned about building was in the Midwest, so I am constantly finding my intuition about the necessary course of action to be wrong😂
Oh jeeeze. I damn near fell off the top of the roof when you were putting the ridge cap on. But, pretty soon I'll be building the wall on the carport, thinking about ""Do I match the exterior wall on the other side of the garage, or do something different?" So if I put siding on both then I match without having to match the patterned plywood or color. Thought about vinyl but more likely thinking about roofing tin. I need to frame, insulate, and skirt the wooden floor side as it's sitting on concrete block pillars opened to air. Great to watch this one again. Always gives me food for thought.
Hi Patrick! I vote for sheathing and something to keep the critters from getting up underneath and doing damage as they enjoy your structure for the winter
Looks good, but why do Canadians & Americans put the screws in the flat bit of the tin..Does my head in..Here in Australia we put the screws in the ridge so if/when the rubber seals break water flows away from screw hole and down.
I believe most manufacturers recommend the flats, because the positive contact between metal and roof deck on the flat is superior to on the ridge. But as they say, “when in Australia…” Thanks for watching!
I just made a catch that screwed to my facia like you did for my roof. If you build another ice guard the overhang. I usually do 6/12 roofs on my skillion roofs. Put the song and artist in description.
I’ve been watching all of this build and I have to say, You are the Bomb!!! You’re awesome!! Such a great job overall! Well how bout getting the walls done on the sheathing, and get dried in? Then do that fire pit thing done.
All things considered, I don’t think it’s needed. I would surmise it could still ‘breath’ there. It’s not going to be heated for weeks at a time, and this climate is overall dry.
I am building a cabin in the middle of nowhere and it has a 12/12 pitch. I totally get going up and down the ladder a million times. Ladder management becomes important. I cannot wait for the day I am done with ladder work.
You could simply add two more 2x boards on the outside of that side of the cut R-panel, and then the side trim would cover it all and still be waterproof, eh?!
I think anyone can do anything they set their mind on, just take a little time to find out how to do it right, nice work on your cabin just make the next one with a 21 foot roof and 7 sheets with work out perfectly, ask me how I know,, lol

I appreciate that. And you watching it!
Glad the roof is done so dangerous do appreciate the tips
🙏
Having put a metal roof on an easier pitch. Great job
Thanks so much!
You could enlarge the roof by an inch or two by adding a 2x to your barge board and use the trim you already have.
OK,,,I'm here,,ready to work. lov from south alabama.
Patrick, your metal roof looks very nice. You would almost think a professional company installed the metal. Blessings to you.
Your the guy people need to watch on this stuff, do you ever paint your cut metal edges, and will you show people what right hand left hand and straight snips are really for when you do the trim downstairs, nice job

Nice job patrick..
I'd put on the osb and wrap before the snows or rains are going to starting hitting the wood/floor
same here... get it closed in asap
Thanks so much, and that would make the most sense IMO.
I love it when people tell me I can't do something. Its the inspiration I use to prove them wrong. Finish the sheathing and windows before the snows hit. great progress so far!
I just finished a small metal roof myself on a 10/12 pitch. Always interesting doing it by yourself...
Ah nice job done! I appreciate you watching.
Glad I could help with the roof! It’s a bear to do by yourself!! And potentially dangerous or a high likelihood for accidents if not careful! Doing great Patrick me boy! I say get that cabin closed up and dried in. Winter is coming soon! Leave the trees and that stuff for spring. JMHO!

I did a 18X40 cabin by myself. took 18 months, of course I was still working my job, BUT BY FAR,,,,,,THE ROOF WAS A TOUGH THING TO DO BY YOURSELF..
Drill 3" from bottom.. Then 2' from there.. Don't drill the top most row...ridge cap will take care of that

Great video. What is your strategy going to be for roof insulation? I thought I had it figured until I saw the paper and gasket taped ridge cap over what I expected to be a vented ridge.
Just good ole batted insulation. That ridge still breathes enough for this cabin. In this climate and for the time this will be heated, I’m confident the moisture won’t be an issue. Thanks for asking and for watching!
@@LifeontheMoose are the batts going to stood off the inner roof skin in any way? I assume your vapor barrier will be on the inner surface of the rafters? I'm at ~7500ft in the Rockies but everything I learned about building was in the Midwest, so I am constantly finding my intuition about the necessary course of action to be wrong😂
Most drill have a clutch on them so you don't over tight the screws
Oh jeeeze. I damn near fell off the top of the roof when you were putting the ridge cap on. But, pretty soon I'll be building the wall on the carport, thinking about ""Do I match the exterior wall on the other side of the garage, or do something different?" So if I put siding on both then I match without having to match the patterned plywood or color. Thought about vinyl but more likely thinking about roofing tin. I need to frame, insulate, and skirt the wooden floor side as it's sitting on concrete block pillars opened to air. Great to watch this one again. Always gives me food for thought.
I’ll provide the food, you provide the thought! 🤔
Thanks again for watching like you do!🙏
Hi Patrick! I vote for sheathing and something to keep the critters from getting up underneath and doing damage as they enjoy your structure for the winter
One of those just may happen…thanks for tuning in!
Looks good, but why do Canadians & Americans put the screws in the flat bit of the tin..Does my head in..Here in Australia we put the screws in the ridge so if/when the rubber seals break water flows away from screw hole and down.
I believe most manufacturers recommend the flats, because the positive contact between metal and roof deck on the flat is superior to on the ridge. But as they say, “when in Australia…”
Thanks for watching!
I just made a catch that screwed to my facia like you did for my roof. If you build another ice guard the overhang. I usually do 6/12 roofs on my skillion roofs. Put the song and artist in description.
I started doing JUST THAT with the music…2 videos ago.
I’ve been watching all of this build and I have to say, You are the Bomb!!! You’re awesome!! Such a great job overall! Well how bout getting the walls done on the sheathing, and get dried in? Then do that fire pit thing done.
And I STILL haven’t gotten to the fire pit…
Note: not sure why but SKETCHERS shoes are excellent for NOT slipping on a metal roof. Why no ridge vent?
All things considered, I don’t think it’s needed. I would surmise it could still ‘breath’ there. It’s not going to be heated for weeks at a time, and this climate is overall dry.

6 minutes: most excellent… Safety first.
I am building a cabin in the middle of nowhere and it has a 12/12 pitch. I totally get going up and down the ladder a million times. Ladder management becomes important. I cannot wait for the day I am done with ladder work.
You get it! Keep me posted.
You could simply add two more 2x boards on the outside of that side of the cut R-panel, and then the side trim would cover it all and still be waterproof, eh?!
I thought about that! But it all worked out in the end. Thank you for watching!
if you made the roof just short of 21ft your trim would have fit and only had to trim off 1 rib
I think I mentioned that in the video!
First question is.. Why do you have OSB on a roof that is getting metal??? 2x4 perlins is all that is required.. With single bubble or double bubble
Racking strength, insulation, ease…I appreciate you watching!
@@LifeontheMoose its not necessary.. Just added expense and work
@@LifeontheMoose And added deadening the sound of a downpour.
I’ll bet you wish there was a plan to walk across the Eve ends. 😅 fun time’s, & good show.
Ha! I appreciate that!
I think anyone can do anything they set their mind on, just take a little time to find out how to do it right, nice work on your cabin just make the next one with a 21 foot roof and 7 sheets with work out perfectly, ask me how I know,, lol
Hmmm…
Congratulations for the new roof! Best steel cutter ever seen...with still 10 fingers 😉👍🏼
So far so good! 🙏
If you screw on the ribs the sheets tend to creep ahead
The first snow on the mountains is called "termination dust", in Alaska. That is when the non Alaskans pack up and go home.
I like it!
Roof looks great and that view is awesome!
Thanks and agreed! I appreciate you watching. 🙏
Hi Patrick, first I love the videos! Second, are you gonna have a wood stove in the cabin to heat it? Thanks again.
Not sure…I doubt it will be a wood stove, tho. Thank you for watching!
Why are the sheets different colors ?
Maybe you said in the video, but i ff through the slow bits 👍🙂🇦🇺
You did WHAT?! Lol
A couple panels were just dusty.
Patrick, my husband said the next one you need to go fishing!! I am glad you are done with the roof.
I like your husband’s style! And me, too! 🙏
Very creative! Great job!
Thanks so much!
I vote for siding.
Smart vote!
Looking awesome
I would OSB all round, cut windows and house wrap next
You must be clairvoyant! 😬 stay tuned…🙏
Brilliant solution! Awesome...
I think this project would have been a lot easier if you had just one available friend.
You are not wrong! 😅
Finish the exterior OSB. Once done, its just windows and doors and then you are ready for winter!
Smart! Appreciate you watching!
Just found your channel and so far have really enjoyed all the videos I have watched.
I’m so glad you found it! Thank you!🙏
