    You should never put the screw in the valley of the corrugated iron, it’s more likely to create a leak in your roof. Only install your screws on the high ridge of the iron.

      Any tradesman who screwed custom orb of like you did in the valley, isn’t a tradesman. Even over screwing on the ridge can leak.

    Putting the chicken wire under the screw gasget leaves a small opening for water to leak. Another sealer should be used in conjunction of the gasget.

    My favorite thing is your drama and dramatic pauses, ("it's just resting" pause...) special effects (green tinge on ur face & the hexagon effect in another video) and humor (wind & rain simulation, etc...). It reminds me of Neil Patrick Harris' delivery ...
    Pretty sure I'll never employ the practical knowledge you share but I enjoy these videos regardless. Altho I do love geometry , esp sacred geometry. Your groovy doors and the constellation woodwork at desert cabinland are amazing.

    I had to wait until 6:30 before he explained why he was putting moss on the roof. That should have been in the first 1 minute. Guys have to remember that nobody understands why you're doing something until you tell them or its a common occurrence. Putting moss on a cabin roof isn't a common occurrence.

      well the moss isnt put in for the purpose of protecting the roof its there for the look because they build woodland cabins. it just also happens to protect the metal. most of the people on this video are viewers of their channel and are watching because they already want to moss their roof.
