1" of snow caused me to stay off of the roof. I picked up my Tyvek so I thouht I'd better get it done before snow really flies. It went up surprisingly fast. I'll finish the second story tomorrow.

I've worked a few houses in the mud and a good idea would be to take rolled hay or bales and put it all around the house and where you will be walking, keeps the feet drier and will also help with the splash back onto the house. I've been watching all along and had plenty to point out but haven't wanted to add to the comments. I think we are cut from the same cloth as I built a 3500 sq ft house for myself in 06 and had help till the second floor box and pretty much finished it out by myself. I worked my day job and worked on the house in the evenings and weekends. It took me 9 straight months with two days off, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I would get home at 9:30 or 10, get a shower and get to bed. Stay the course and step it out and whittle her down.!
Ingenious! Clever man and thorough worker. It's more than craftsmanship when you do it for your family. Keep the ball moving forward! Great job.
You totally amaze me with the little innovations that you do where one man can handle a task. I loved how you drop the Tyvek with a rope and use that as a pivot point when I did Tyvek on my house I carried the roll around and stretched it out, boy what a job that was.
Oh now that's slick my friend. Never seen that one man tyvek trick. Looking great. Add windows and heat and your in business
That was the slickest trick I have seen in a while. Always looking for helpful tips to use when I'm working on stuff myself.. :)
Age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill.
one thing that sets you apart from a lot DIY or semi-professional and even some professional craftsman/people is your eye for detail and not being afraid to put a little time into your project. Kudos to you
Hello from southern England, where it is cold, but no snow and unlikely to see the kind of temperatures you’ll get over the winter. I’ve been watching your videos from first to last and finally caught up after about four weeks of watching several a day - I’m sure you do know how many you’ve put on UA-cam, but probably not calculated the sheer entertainment value of sharing your life and progress with others. It has been fantastic seeing how much you have achieved and the only downside for me now is that I will have to wait for each new video rather than watching a batch at a time! You are an inspiration and I wish you and your family all the best for the coming festive season and the future. Kind regards, Gerry
Gerry Heynes thank you for the support!
Red Poppy Ranch you are very welcome and reflecting on your comments about the ‘friend’ who let you down over the building codes, there are far more good people in the world who want you to succeed and who warrant your trust, so don’t let one bad experience colour your trust in others. You are a good man and deserve the best. I’ve never encountered a person with so much energy and resolve, so I have no doubts that you are destined to fulfil your dreams and those of your family. All the best, Gerry
unbelievable progress working by yourself
I worked for 35 yrs at a one-man contracting too! Id recommend getting some pump jacks set up! It would make the siding,windows and all go much safer and faster! They are cheap and would get you everywhere you need to,just move your pick board around!
Do you know what? Watching your channel and progress on your home is an absolute pleasure. I have been watching another couple building a home on another channel and I have nothing but respect for you as you have pretty much grafted day in day out to get this amazing home for your families future. Really well done.
Your making good progress. Hopefully the weather holds out for you. Good luck. Stay safe.
Looking good.. That was a pretty slick way of wrapping the Tyvek on the lower half.. Looking forward to seeing how you do the upper half.. And of course the windows...
great way of doing it well done
That is the neatest thing I have ever seen .Sixteen thumbs up bro'
see if you can get the screws with the washer moulded into the heads. They do not mash the gasket out from underneath but instead cap down over it and pull it in tight. Upshot is, NO LEAKS EVER and your rubber seal is protected from the elements so no dry rot.
Hanging the Tyvec like you did, is genious !!! I've never seen it like that before !!!!
Absolutely LOVE the one person Tyvek application!! Genius!! We so enjoy your channel and hopefully we will be doing the same one day sooner rather than later!! Thank you for sharing!
Get it seal and get the basic wiring roughed in and then insulate and you then can finish it over the winter.
Great idea, have never seen the cap fasteners before. Hope the weather holds for you so you can get the roof on. Looking great!! One man show!!
Great job on the Tyvek
Looking great. Keep up the hard work, it is really paying off. Thanks for sharing
Excellent video. Ingenous application. Great attention to detail! Thanks for posting
MY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY! AND GIVE YOU STRENGTH TO BUILD YOUR FAMILY HOME. YOUR KIDS WILL GROW UP AND SEE WHAT HARD WORK AND AMAZON JOB YOU DID IN BUILDING THIS FOR THEM. I ENJOY THE INFORMATION YOU GIVE ABOUT THE PRODUCTS (TYVEK) GREAT VIDEOS!!! GOD BLESS .
Hi Redpoppyranch . Great ideal on the rope and roller,worked like a charm. Much respect to you Sir.
All my very best,to you and yours.
Bobby
what a freaking awesome way for one person to put up tyvek!!! brilliant....watching you put up this house is just mezmerizing!!! you have a great homestead vision my friend, I am honored to watch it come true for you!!!
Oh, you clever fellow!!!!!!!!
Never seen that one man tyvek trick. Looking great. Add windows and heat and your in business
its looking good i like it
I'm impressed!
Looks like you got that roof on just in time! How wonderful!
Makin' in happen! You'll be happy once the Tyvek is up and your windows are in. Beat the winter!
Would be nice if you and busted wagon ranch could go together on some scaffolding.
Make your second story walls easier...
Maybe it's something you could rent out to neighbors...
Undercutting rental yards...
Over years could be a money maker...????
Nice Idea / Roll.

Good video. As allways .
This seriously saved me a bunch of time doing my own build and you saved me so much time by showing me this method. Thank you!
Great video, very therapeutic to watch. Awesome idea using the rope to get the job done solo!
You’re good at making videos and houses.
Looking good and tight. Absolutely awesome job on the Tyvek all by yourself. I forgot you had the windows already and was fussing at you for cutting the window holes, but alas, you cleared the confusion in your end talk. My mistake.
Keep on rocking and it'll be dry and warm inside in no time. So impressed with the one man hanging Tyvek trick. That's awesome. See ya next time.
using foam board over the exterior of the walls will make the home a lot more energy efficient if done right. I would go with 2'' foam board on the outside. Will need window extensions and furring strips for the siding if 2'' is used. .Form board on the ceiling also.With windows and doors the house would be warm with just a little heat in the winter.
Good Evening I always watch your videos with interest, and you sure work hard and deserve all the luck you can get. Take Care.
Any thoughts on finding a wrecked bucket truck/van to harvest the arm and bucket to mount on the backhoe or tractor? A light duty cable installer bucket would have no problem running off a tractors hydraulics so wouldn't even need much modifying past the 3 point hitch mounts.
Faster access to the second level and can use later on when working with trees/fruit picking.
With all the care and detail going into this building, I wonder if this is a house with a workshop, or a workshop with a living space. Rally interested in seeing the house when you get to it.
Great job although 2 feet of marine plywood at the bottom of the frame instead of OSB board wood have been extra insurance.
Going to be interesting to see how you figure out the top half.
Clever trick. Thanks!
A labor of love. Carry on sir.
Thanks for posting this video
Congrats! You have come such a long way with your home. It's very inspiring.
Brilliant !! Keep at it. You are inspiring to all.
Ingenious way to install the tyvek
gravel on the drive way would really help now even in winter.
Always cut the window opening in the shape of the capital letter I. By doing so you eliminate water entering into the opening at the head of the window. Once the opening is cut you should then cut the 45 degree angels in the upper corners and flap up the tyvek before installing your window. If more information is needed contact your local Tyvek Building Envelope Specialist.
great idea, and nice calming music to end a long hard day, good video man.
Great job
Thank you for the video, i will try to put the tyvek on my cabin in Houston, ak today.
Loved your tyvek jig!!!
Wow ! I'm jealous. I hired a contractor to remove and redo the siding and insulation around the house. It took 3 guys to wrap 3 of 4 walls around the house (avg family house) and I fired the guys after 8 days when I saw their work. They wrapped my house like their first xmas gift .... Now I'm left with a badli insulated and wrapped house amnd cant find anybody to do the job. Can't believe this happened to me.
Normally you use wall brackets and planks. If you don't have that stuff it's going to be very time consuming. You are doing great!!!
That’s why you put the tyvek on the walls before you stand them, that way you don’t have to struggle with this
Thanks!! Very informative!
Nice job!
Lot a work 1 man crew A ' lol
Congrats! Ingenious way to install Tyvek without a helper - and one of the rare video's on UA-cam showing the correct use of a Cap Stapler rather than staples! I assume you tacked your rope to the soffit and side wall or ground and did the second story the same way...
Greetings from Down Under (Australia). Love your work and the environment you live in. You mentioned that your local area didn't have a Standard for Steel roofing. In Australia Steel Roofing for housing is common so we have Australian and New Zealand Standards for installation and maintenance. Search for Australian Steel Roofing Standards and you may find something to assist.
I would give some consideration to using rigid foam on the exterior as well as interior insulation. Now is the time. Gives a great thermal break in a continuous layer. I used Tyvek Housewrap against my sheathing on my shop expansion then two layers of foam for 3" with Tyvek Drainwrap over that. Steel siding put up vertically to finish it off. I hand drove cap nails as I had heard too many stories of the stinger always jamming. How did you find it to use? Take care. Doug
Douglas Thompson stinger worked great!
We used house wrap then one inch foam on the outside, then 2 layers of tar paper, then the stucco crew used wire and then stucco. We had 2 X 4 walls. spray in foam, then another of foil backed foam on the inside. It works well except a couple drywall (nail pops) screws showing up later. We took lots of pictures but it is still hard to find the studs to hang cabinets, closet shelving etc.
Sounds like you used poly iso. Any concern with creating a wall cavity that doesn't dry to either side very well?
Around here we have to use a drainable 2-ply wrap such as Hydrotex to meet code.
Hi I'm in England and have binge watched your videos from the start of building your house.The last I was able to see was after you sold your truck and were part way through dry walling the downstairs.You were having a talk with your wife on the porch about how she visualised the kitchen etc and you said 28 days to moving in.That's the last I can get .Have you made any videos or vlogs since that.If so I wonder why I can't get them.
This is a great video
Nice tip!
Hello there...I was going to mention this on your last video and didn't but anyway a tin roof is going to be extremely noisy especially when rain falls onto it which may be a little distressing to you and your family. All I say is maybe review your decision to use tin, maybe consider other materials maybe shingles. The best wishes to you on your build.
Great effort .
Sasquatch bumped your camera at 6:25.
J Babb Casper...
Time to ask for help from your friends for the upper wrap.
Fucking genius!
Ive beeb builing for 30,s I can overlook some stuff. but you should have cosulted a builder firsst. o that note, it looks awesome
would it not have been a option to keep those windows covered by the foil until you put the windows in? by the way, finaly someone who works smart, doing it al alone needs indeed a handy person.! (y) .)
Watch other vids on tyvex and window prep this is old school way, new school will weather proof that window opening
We had an Inch of snow this morning.
take a small piece off the north side in a year. then youll knoe
This is so hard to do alone
What will Tyvek help with/for??? Isn't just,,,,paper???? :D
synthetic material that protects the wood from the elements
Ahh ok, cuz I never seen this on houses in Sweden but we have maybe something else you "have" to put on the walls to follow the regulations Ty for the answer :D.
I am watching your oneyearback familyhistory films. There was some very old child coverall found in the family shed given to you by the new owners. Is it stil around? Can you show it
Pretty clever..
Question..
What is the blue on the side by the big door...
I'm curious, too.
At the osb factory they paint the edges of an entire unit at a time. The top and bottom sheets usually get a lot of overspray and I think that's what we're seeing.
They paint the top sheet of the pallet to keep it from soaking up moisture.
We don't use Tyvek in Australia, we use sarking which comes in a 4.4' roll. It is a breathable polymer backed with a woven polymer, adhesive then aluminium foil. We use it for walls and roofs where under the Building Codes of Australia, it is mandatory under tiles. It also has an R value of R0.95 in the roof and R2.75 in the wall in winter and R1.51 in the roof and R2.62 in the walls in summer. We don't skin the walls and roof and it is fastened directly to the wall studs and the rafters. We then insulater the walls and ceiling without internal vapour barriers. I cut my rolls to length then using bulldog clips, I started at the centre of each roll and moved out. ua-cam.com/video/LEti1Oj6jd0/v-deo.html
Hello bro, could you share the model of the stapler that you are using for installing it?
Hi, how long does it take to wrap a full single house and what did you put between the wrap? looking to get into the business
Great job but tyvek has a 90 day sun guarantee , have used it but 30 lb felt will out last it 75 years .
Back in the day we had to use tar paper. Times have changed.
DON'T BUY BOSTICH NAIL GUNS. Your house wrap went a lot easier than mine , I had 300 ft of wall on the duplex. I bought a Bostich staple button gun that was supposed to automatically feed the orange plastic washers but it quit working before I was half way done My Bostich finish nail gun had problems so I took both to the repair shop. the finish gun wasn't very old but repair [parts were no longer available. The rubber hose on the auto feeder was bad and the repairman said to wait for a better repair kit to be available. He had a lot of call backs with the same parts failing
Whats the staple gun brand never seen those ones ??
Just asking at what point did you decide to make this your house instead of shop house
why woudnt you do the roof first! sometimes I wonder!!!!
Love Tyvek but the zip system will soon replace tyvek
Can you not put the tyvec on before you lift the walls
Tyvek is ahead of the curve? Was this filmed 15 years ago? I can think of 5 other systems that would work so much better. Especially since his house is sitting on grade. I would use fluid apply the first 3 feet all the way around.
Why be in a rush to cut the plywood and tyvek at each door and window? Maybe a few for light, but get the rest sealed up. Dude waste so much time
why didnt u use zip
What's the name of the stapler
nigga i would have quit the second it started raining let alone snowing... fuck that
tyveck not nessary. causes moiture to buiild. youll see
Background music done it for me . Goodbye
Ahead of the curve? That stuff is trash all housewrap is.
