Building Cabin Using a Sawmill! - Red Roof, Chimney Flashing, Fireplace Installation Ep8

Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1

It's time to install our beautiful red tin roof by Vic West on our small off grid cabin in the Canadian forest! Roof was supplied by Vicwest Building Products (Roof): The roof is fastened together with metal screws with a rubber gasket that makes the roof remain waterproof. Installation is over milled strapping 2 foot on center in each rib of the metal roof. The completed roof went up in about 2. 5 days including the tricky part, installing the gasket around the chimney pipe. We did this using a metal sleeve, prefabricated and insulated double wall chimney pipe through the ceiling. We really wanted to install the chimney correctly so that it wouldn't leak and would be safe to use. Norwood Portable Sawmill: On this off grid cabin build project we put our sawmill to use by milling wood on the spot to create an off grid small cabin in the forest. We are hoping to beat the Canadian winter and get a cabin that is comfortable enough to sleep a few people. The main goal is to produce something that brings us closer to nature, not something that helps us escape. Life is really about producing balance. Later will will us the Norwood Portable Sawmill to turn dead standing trees into lumber, which is the goal of this build; use materials around us to create something beautiful. This whole series is about building an all-seasons cabin that will house more than a few people. The idea is team-work, use of tools, hand tools and power tools when possible to construct something great that will bring us closer to nature and provide balance to our lives that we so desperately crave. This isn't about escaping the rat race, this is about getting close to things that help us get balance in our lives. Too much of anything, including isolation is horrible for the soul. In this series we use materials around us to construct a small forest cabin. We'll use cedar, pine, ash, maple, and whatever else we can scrounge up from the 30 acres around us. The aim is to avoid using as much store bought material as possible and keep the budget reasonably low. Originally we set a budget of -1000, but that included the use of a frame from an old camper trailer. As we build, the budget will remain flexible in effort to produce a cabin that we are proud of and one that will last a long while, be comfortable, and sleep real human beings. In episode 1, we dig in our foundation from reclaimed pressure treated 6x6 posts, level, and set the lower foundation in place which will then accept the first floor of the cabin

Great video nice roof. but no honesty you were giving me severe anxiety when you were sliding that still up that ladder. if you ever do this again when sliding steel up a ladder once the person on the roof has a hold of it step off to the side please so you don't get decapitated if something goes wrong

Very nice looking cabin--but you improperly installed the chimney pipe. The pipe sections should be installed so that the upper section slides into the inside of the lower section. That way any creosote or other tars will flow down into the stove and not out the sides of the joints.

Lol you say the squirrels are going to slide off the roof, I imagine they'll learn to be mountain climbers hanging off one paw to the next off the heads of the screws sticking out. I never thought I'd be waiting on the edge of my seat for the next cabin building video.

Having watched the all-in-one video I was curious why the roof didn't go up first and all in one day. I'm guessing that somewhere between the sponsor's delivery schedule and weather and availability of your friends and family work crew lies the reason. Close?

VicWest gets my business! They sponsor your cabin, you give them free advertisement. And the cabin looks fantastic! Excellent for both you and the company.

Should have started roof at center of chimney and worked in both directions. They make sealer pieces to go under roof overlap. You need more flashing.

I may have missed it, is the stove directly on the wooden floor or is there something between the stove e and the wooden floor?

Steve
um. you are screwing on the hill rather than the valley. That's wrong, at least acording to what I've ever seen or been told.
