The county inspector came out today and failed me on three points. two of the three points were easy fixes but one of the issues I worried would turn into a huge issue. It turned out to be an easy fix. We are now cleared to move forward with Tyvek and windows...

Alas, you have found the 1 in 20 helpful inspector. Inspector power trips are one of the very few reasons I got out of construction. Glad they were all basically simple fixes, Not that they won't take some time, but simple is quicker than tear-off and redo, so that's awesome. keep the faith brother, accept help graciously, and keep on trucking' you'll get there.
When you’re doing something of value you know you’re on the right path when other people go out their way to put you down. It’s because they feel that they aren’t doing anything of value so they want you to fail so they feel better about themselves. Don’t sweat it it’s part of the process and time for you to make new friends and have better quality relationships with people who actually care about you and will root for you, like that inspector. He’s a real friend;)
I agree!
The jerk that you thought was your friend is probably jealous that you and your family are bettering yourselves. Keep up the good work.
AMEN!
I am very happy you have decided to take the help offered, by viewers.
I am so impressed that you're out there building your own house! How many people can say they've done something like that?! I've watched a few of your videos and I can't believe how big your kids are now! It's obvious that you and Cedar are good parents because they seem like such good, well-balanced kids. Good luck on the roof!
You're a good person. very genuine and honorable. I like seeing how you are with your family. the fact that you are hesitant to get help is nice to see. people feel more comfortable supporting that kind of person. So keep being who you are and living your dream. congrats.
Young man, I think you are worth your weight in Diamonds, at 72 I have lived my life under corrugated iron, with the screws on the ridge, or lead heads on the ridge, keep it that way, only on the ridge. You are doing so very, very well, keep it up and remember your Knockers are probably just pissed off because you can actually do and they can not.
Sounds logical and reasonable.
Graeme Dunstan I love old timers man they are practical, logical but never ever critical . What works works right
Wow, New Zealand lives under long run. ALWAYS fix on the ridge.......best of luck
screws should be in the flat you dont want screws 3/4 inch above the framing
thats a good point he was probably jealous as hell
You are right. Some people let their position become a power play, I am considering building on a much smaller scale a 500-700 sq ft house in North Carolina. The idea of getting approval for various systems that need to be build does concern me. I think you have been upfront with the inspectors. I have enjoyed your build and your thought processes.
The inspector is a decent human being, one that has a conscience. Personally I would not put the screws in the valleys because putting them on the ridges would be less likely to leak
yeah i agree! sinking screws in the vally is just setting yourself up for failier like trying to build a cabin in the middle of a river on arm floaties
Nice of you to give credit and praise to the County Inspector for his help in giving you advice on how to overcome any mistakes.
You've done an outstanding job! If you can successfully frame walls, door and window openings, floor joists, subfloor, stairs, and rafters and get the walls set up straight, you are a carpenter now. I trained as a Union Carpenter, which included 17 week long courses and 4800 hours of field experience. The experts have had to pull stuff apart on job sites because they did it wrong. There are things I missed, otherwise I would be an A+ student all the way. Over time, I would likely discover those issues via an Inspector or two. The Union bosses always said if you can build stairs and a roof, you are a carpenter. Great Inspection Report! p.s. Glad you asked for some financial help. Most all of us can use some financial mercy and a helping hand. We all want to receive a blessing, especially a financial one.
You are doing an amazing job!! You have beautiful sight there! Be safe!
Glad it will be easy fixes. Be super careful up there.
It's coming along nicely!
I'm proud of you. You did it yourself which is more than most people could say. And it's a blessing because all those corrections is where you learn and you will always remember how to do it. Good job. And props to you to tell us your mistakes cause most people like myself are prideful. I'll learn from you.
He wanted to help you because you are good people. The things is people that do it all the time deliberately do that take short cuts.
from ireland watch all your videos im a retired small builder myself so i have tremendious respect for what your doing love your vids take your friends advice dont thrust nailing in the valleys otherwise good luck to you and your family
Right on man, good luck with the rest of the build. Doing the same next spring.
Hi, if you have to cut your roofing iron please make sure that you prime the cut edges, anything you do to stop rust will help you in the long run. I now use pre-cut and pre painted sheets as they last longer and saves time and labour. Keep up the good work.
There is always someone out there that thinks they're better then everyone else! Don't let it get to you! Your doing a fantastic job on your project! Thanks for sharing!
It took me two and a half years to build my house I feel your pain I know where you're coming from but for you to do this all by yourself is truly amazing great job buddy and be safe.
You are absolutely right, no need for negative talk, you have an angle helping you threw your build! Good job and thank you. Wow, people sure are generous. Lucky, and God bless those who are able to give.
Not bad on the inspection! I mean since you never did this before! Fantastic job! Use safety protection please! We want you to be able to enjoy your creation! You know sometimes we just have to chalk things up as unhealthy relationships and walk away. It stings, true. Move forward, stay focused! Y'all got this! Blessings!
I used to do new construction and I was the one that had to go in after the framers and fix everything they did wrong. If thats all the inspector found you did a remarkable framing job. And "code" is the minimum standard. A high quality build will far exceed code.
Dude you're a true inspiration for me i hope to one day build my own place too... dont let them get you down there will always be negative people trying to keep you down.. shake it off and continue following your goals and dreams
I work for Habitat for Humanity as a Construction Crew Lead. We usually have 2-3 houses going at once and inspections weekly. So far all of my experiences with inspectors have been pretty good. Whenever we fail they explain why and sometimes wait for us to fix it so they don't have to come out again. I think they are more generous with us considering we are a charity and they know a lot has been built by inexperienced volunteers. We do our best to ensure everything is done right but occasionally you will have someone leave off a nail in the end of a joist or an electrician will forget a stud plate. Even in my personal experiences with remodeling my home and having inspections I have never had a bad one. They have always been kind and explained any issue. Ultimately they just want it to code so your structure is safe.
Awesome inspector willing to provide solutions. Other inspectors may just not know enough to provide solutions.
In Australia corrugated roofs are common we never put the screws in the valley
hello love the build, corrugated roofing is used a lot here in Australia and screws are never placed in the valley of the iron.
Like your channel. Took 6 years to build my house, no inspectors early 70s. Lived here 42 years,. Had to build house around a 40 hour a week job.
All the best from Berlin, Germany to all of you guys, I hope you are making good progress with your project. Stay healthy and do not get lost. Br Marcus
Glad you found a great inspector. It’s hard to say what motivates other people. Sometimes what a person thinks is helping isn’t and sometimes they are just very unhappy people who want everyone around them unhappy. Blessings!
Seems that good people are harder and harder to find. Its a shame that people seem to want to make drama for everyone else. Love what you are doing and cant wait to see it finished. :)
Koality of Life Me too :)
I know how you feel i always trust people and always get backstabbed. But as i get older i hold back on privet things i say to people now even family members. But stay focused don't let that energy get you down. Stay blessed and keep on trucking
Man u have come a long way n still going strong. Keep it up n finish it for us 2 see.
Great job and an inspiration. Just two things, stay safe on the roof, you only get one shot from that height and as others have said, never screw in the valleys as it is a sure fire way of getting leaks. Also be careful not to over tighten the fixings as this will cause the rubber washer to flatten and deteriorate quicker.
Good luck and happiness.
Enjoying your adventure
Just few little fixing and you've done a great job.
For the other matters : Envy & jealousy from other people is negative so just erase them from your life.
You are a good man who is doing great for his family ❤
I used metal on my entire building/home and purchased my metal from Metal Sales out of Salem IN. They provided me with a screw location pattern. They have the the PDF sheet on there web site. I started out not over lapping the metal incorrect and then was warned to overlap away from the direction of weather. Looking great. I'm happy you did a paypal. I am sure the enjoyment people receive from watching your content has a value and are honored to contribute. We will be contributing.
Congratulations Heath! 3 easily fixable dings are awesome considering this is your first run at building a house! So inspiring my friend! Don't let you experience with the "friend" deter you from seeing good in people and being you. Best advice I've had from an older experienced friend, is to play my "cards" closer to my chest when talking/sharing with people. I don't always, but I am more selective of people I let into the inner circle. God is merciful always my friend! Keep up the great job!
This is a dang hard worker he is an inspiration to alot of us.... keep up the good work
Good job and good luck. Keep on marching forward and don't look back.
Thanks for the update, looking good. Put the screws on the ridge, those rubber washers harden and will begin to leak at some point, IMO.
I`m glad that everything went ok with the inspection, it`s people out there that have fun making others life difficult. Just realize that there also people out there to make it ok too and thst those people are sent from the man upstairs!!!!your friend from baltimore Ronnie PS keep up the good work and fight
Do yourself a favor do not put the screws in the valley. There will always be a few that will leak. Overtime more will leak. Do not put them in the valley.
I agree.
I agree. I have seen these screws back out of OSB here at home. and these were long screws.
Agreed 100%
Same here.... no valleys!
Agreed. Don't put them in the valleys. Even if they don't back themselves out over time the rubber washers will rot and start to leak.
Sounds like that inspector is very helpful. Some inspectors will never jump off their high horses and help a homeowner like yourself. I've been dealing with inspectors 20 yrs + they are definitely a mixed bag of individuals. A good inspector will only shut progress down if major, critical flaws keep recurring. Your house is framed stronger, cleaner, more precise than 99% of the production tract homes that are being built in today's major subdivisions. I cant contribute $ but would love to spend a week with you fine tuning and getting you to that finish staged you are looking for. 20 years of custom home building experience. 12 years on my own. side note. God bless and Much Love to you and your Family, be safe my brother!
If I were putting corrugated sheets on this roof I would run a wide batten across the roof, maybe 4ft centres. Either 2x1 or 3x1 treated timber, fix it through the osb into the rafters. That way you create a good air gap to get rid of the condensation that occurs. This condensation can rot the membrane and the roof sheets if the roof sheet is sat directly on the membrane this is far more likely to occur. The battern will also give the screw a really good fixing compared to the ones that end up in the osb avoiding problems mentioned elsewhere.
Other problems are generated I know, flashing the raised sheets and the air gap actually needs the ability to circulate air to dry out the condensation. The nature of the product causes condensation and the corrugation causes an air gap. You will get condensation which will constantly test the roof membrane. If you have air flow it will dry out the condensation more regularly saving the membrane from rotting..
In the uk we had issues years ago with non breathable membranes stopping air flow and then rotting. The same issue has happened when people have insulated touching the breathable membrane, stopping airflow and enabled the insulation to draw condensation through the breathable membrane. If it can't dry out it eventually rots..
Awesome channel, your providing a service discovery simply couldn't buy. You guys deserve some ££ for the time you put in to the vids if nothing else👍🇬🇧
You're doing an amazing job up there. keep it up.
As a city inspector myself in Texas....I will chime in. My area is in a economic boom and sometimes our department can run several hundred TOTAL inspections per day. I frequently run 15-30 inspections per day and I do ALL trades. I have all those trades plus the energy code to keep in my head. I don't know everything and get asked some really random questions that I'm expected to know right off the top of my head. That being said. I love to help people that are sincerely just trying to learn and to get it right. My patience and tolerance goes out the window when contractors and I mean ALL trades, try to bullcrap me and pull one over on me. There's always two sides to a situation. Yes, I have fellow inspector that were jerks at first, but have chilled out and really learned how to deal with people. In my 15 years experience as an inspector, I'm a Jekyll and Hyde. I can smell out honesty and sincerity in about 60 seconds. I can also become the reaper and and worst day for a contractor trying to pull one over on me. I've seen the fear of people as I drive up not knowing what to expect. I really enjoy being able to leave the jobsite with them shaking my hand and thanking me for all my help...no longer afraid. The take away is this: There are good and bad inspectors, just like in all walks of life. Overall, don't fear them. Most are just trying to help, but they can get jaded too and lose hope in humanity.
It's looking great
Fantastic attitude & work man!!
2 Thing with sheet metal roof, you should always use water proof underlayment because of metal condensation and possible leaks from screw holes doesn't matter if those are in ridge or valley some will leak for sure.
Every manufacturer in my country recommends fixing from valleys and why...it's more rigid way to fasten sheets you get screw tight enough that rubber seal will push firmly against surface.
Screw on ridge start forming larger hole every time roof moves from wind or thermal expansion and after that it will leak.
I just rebuilt one barn sheet metal roof it was installed about 40 years ago from ridges and every screw hole was leaking there was even many screw missing.
We have some good inspectors here in Alabama, too. Most really want to let you know the correct way to do things pleasantly. Love those kind of inspectors🥰🥰great video!
I enjoy your videos so much! I'm glad you had a good, helpful inspector..it's how it's supposed to be! You are creating an amazing home! Please take care of yourself..you are no good to your family if you don't. : )
Wow love the work for being ur first framing job.. Be safe my friend dont forget u gotta enjoy ur creation after finishing.
Respect for what you are doing! all by you selve!
when i heard you missed something, first thing i thought was you missed squash blocks, lol. Actually most inspectors are good and like to help. When a bad district has a bad inspector you know you got some work to do. Great job and great video!
considering that's your first self-done house, that's pretty good. people that pretend never doing mistakes are lying ;-)
Congratulations and thank you for such a great video absolutely informative 🙏🏼
you did a wonderful job just by seeing what I can so keep up the good work. there always someone to throw a stick in the spokes especially when they have POWER!!!
Glad things are moving ahead. God bless
How can someone dislike these videos. I have never seen a person more passionate and trully involved in his dream and work than this Man. Nice family, nice friends, i mean those who are true friends. Everything he does is good and makes you want to do something precious as well. Really, people, keep your dislikes to be written on your own mirrors.
Just found your channel, we are going to be building our own homestead home (single story) and this channel is a huge help. Thank you, I guess we will be very busy over the next few days watching through all your videos!! lol
You are living our dream. You got this!! My family is in Philadelphia and literally dying to get out of here.
looking good man... im quite impressed at your work since you dont frame for a living... im a hvac contractor and wish i had the balls to build myself!! good luck moving forward!
All good,,,thanks for sharing,,,we learn the most on sharing that sort of thing
Looks great man good job
Fully agree about inspectors. We had a similar situation with adding on to our home.
Love this guy. Keep grinding
I love watching your stuff .. Haters are going to hate because they dont have the stones to do it for them selfs. You keep up the great work and thanks for letting us be a part of your journey.. Cant wait to see that big ass backhoe fired up and you developing your spring and pond build..
I've enjoyed your videos , I find them very informative.
Thank you for making the time to shoot and post..
Thank you for watching!
Looks like you did a really good job I got a framing project I'm doing in my backyard and my advice I can give you is don't worry about those that are trying to put you down
I did the same thing on my shed. I put the OSB roofing on vertically and I had 24" rafters. My wavy roof bothered me every time I looked up there for 12 years, until I sold the old homestead. More blocking is a great idea. I never bothered. We don't have snow down here.
I redid my roof with metal. I put the screws in the lower areas/ valleys. This is in Arizona mind you. rain fall is like 5" per year . I've never had a leak. I don't think it makes a difference much as the new type screws have rubber seals. I go up on the roof once a year and check out the screws, every once in a while I'll find one that needs to be tightened. The roof is like six years out now. still looks great.
Always will be someone who never had what you have, they are the jealous and miseries amongst us.
Keep up with what your doing it’s yours and be proud of it, I had 3 different inspections for footings by 3 different inspectors and each wanted something different. I also have a some one object to what I’m doing with no grounds, it even happens in the uk.
Good job, a great milestone to be at. Weatherproof.
Great job, I appreciate and respect the way you speak, you portray yourself as being a level headed man. Forget the people holding you back, a quote that helps me with difficult people goes as follows, "When a person can no longer control you they will try to test you down starting with your reputation, be the bigger person and prove them wrong." Also i aspire to build my own house and people like you help me keep that goal in sight.
Glad its a simple fixesss , looks really godd
Watching your episodes is uplifting to me. Reading the comments you have developed a strong fan base. Best regards. Stay Safe.
Looks like a pretty impressive structure. It is well to keep all plumbing on interior walls.
In cold country it's not the best but I'll insulate around it really well.
Glad to see your video. Thanks
you have done a great job and you are a hard worker
I am convinced that many of these guys are on a power trip. I caught two guys talking about how they would do things differently if they lived in such a nice house. They hushed up when they saw me in the window.
Be very proud of yourself you’re doing a fantastic job God bless good luck
You do what you got to do. Haters are hard to avoid completely these days. So forget them. I love what your doing there. And even more that your sharing your experience with me. Peace.
I want to sing praises and respect to your county inspector. I hope many of your followers join in. He sounds like an honorable man.
Best wishes from Arizona.
Good job man! Congrats! Nice to see others on youtube doing an owner-builder project! There are people that can't feel good about themselves unless they stand on top of others.. they are the ones needing help, not you.. ;) keep going - great job!
Love the videos , keep it up , you're doing a great job for you and your family ..
When it comes to Inspections and Inspectors , in most cases, they are not your friends.. Saying anything more then you have to is an issue you may have to contend with down the road.. Their job is to recite the CODE without having to look at the BOOK.. Well.. Most of them lets you know that.. The energy your family requires to do this project is beyond imagination.. This is SO NICE..
Well done we know you could do it Keep up the great work
Understand where you're coming from, best of luck to your house. Looks great.
as an aussie in tasmania where it snows never put the screws in the valley the snow will pool then rust and leak one dent where the screws are is all it takes then all the sheets are compremised from moisture and you will have to take it all down and replace underlay and sheets.
Fellow Tassie guy here. 👍
i know it late to this video but when your done with everything doesn't hurt to give the inspector a thank you gift.
You're doing a fantastic job!! Keep on keeping on, don't let the naysayers get to you.
Nice work so far. Modern homes seem so easy, but are also so much more complex than my 1860's solid brick house.
The roof is very strong with 16 inch spaced rafters. Then there is all the extra hurricane straps you put in. Then now your putting in extra 2x4s on the OSB so it will be so extra stout. it will sure be a good roof and frame. It all for the best. Thanks for the upload I find this interesting.
Great job. I can't believe you never build before . keep up the good work. Jealousy is a bad thing.
Sorry about your friend...humans are sometimes like that. I hope he's rooting for you now and if not...we're here rooting for you and drawing inspiration from you as well.
I have watched some of your videos when you were just started on the property, then I evolved myself in other projects. now I have found your channel again it will take me sometime to catch up, sorry I've been away so long. sometimes people have good days and bad, we should only speak good about others and let God take care of everything else. May God bless you and may God bless America and make this great nation great again.
The problem with inspectors is that they can’t build anything but sure know how to tell someone else how to do it
They probably even considered building a shed once but realized it would not pass their own standards so they bought a plastic one.
I wish him and his wife well.
Hahahaha!
perfectly said
If contractors were not such lazy, profiteering cucks there would not be a reason for inspectors.
Live & learn , Buddy , Hang in there .
