After the walls, time to start building the Cabin Roof, this time-lapse covers weeks of work building all the roof with a ridge beam, rafters, soffit and roof overhang.

I am Tristan, I am building a 400 SF cabin at the back of my house. I plan on doing it all by myself. I plan on sharing this journey here on Youtube where I will show you every step of the way, all the struggles I run into and everything I will learn from this experience. I will then rent the cabin as a short term rental in hope of covering most, if not, all my house mortgage (House Hacking). Follow me here as this will absolutely be one of a kind journey.

Young man I don't know what you do for a living but if it isn't building houses you missed your calling. Absolutely awesome.

[arnieboyd]

this shack is never going to fall down a nice gift for the future great great grand children

[Tarassio]

I'm enchanted 🤔✌️! The quality is immediately visible. Respect

My grandmother built a huge house like this. Walls made from 2x6's, everything went up 2 inches in dimension so instead of 2x4 it was 2x6, instead of 2x6 it was 2x8's and so on. It was built in 1952. I was in that house in an F4 tornado and all it did was take down trees in the yard and pull a few shingles off the roof but the house stood strong. The house has a brick and natural rock facade 8 inches thick as well. The house is still there 70 years later.

Holy cow! This is probably the first time I’ve seen someone using safety gear on a roof!!

[supermo]

I like how you framed in the eaves that tied into your rafters.

[XPLRNW]

great job on your project thus far... for sure one of the best build/film jobs I've seen on YouTube ... great job...

[heathdaese]

If a developer had houses built this well they'd charge 2 mil a house. Top notch work!

[dwaynemaxima]

You're doing such an excellent job. Keep it up, bro.

[jamesoncross]

Good That will last 200 years if taken care of.

[JunktionJack]

Classic example of if you want something done right you need to figure it out and do it yourself

[norrisabram]

I know a professional when I see one, job well done 😎

Little late now, but for others looking to build their own place, buy yourself some scaffolding and get off the ladders.. just a few sections can be a game changer… and much safer

Good Day Tristan ; Very good video I liked it alot . Maybe you can tell me, why is dowling always so expensive ?

[michaelbradford]

Building a scaffold (wall blocks, arms and legs would save a ton of time and the labor of ladder work when doing overhangs, flatwork and gables. Takes little time and you load them with material needed and work comfortably and in position being able to walk instead of moving the ladder and going up and down 1000 times. Trust me, I know.

[Bolinbowls]

There is no way that build will fall apart. 😮

[elmovt]

Curious as to the reason for spacing all of your plywood. I've never seen anyone do that before and never seen it mentioned in a plywood spec.

[halfnelson]

It's been a while since I saw someone build a roof using rafters.

[josephbXIX]

What are the specs on that nail gun? And the pressure equipment? Cause i keep on searching and in Brasil i cant find an answer that is below 400k and no one lends these. I miss the powder charge ones...
