Alaskan Off Grid Log Cabin Project……roofing the cabin !
On this episode of the Alaska Off Grid Cabin Project I put on the roof metal. Everything goes smooth until the last sheet!!!
The equipment used to build this cabin is in the links below…
log 2 siding jig "Hadden Lumber maker"
Jackson contractor wheelbarrow
Timber tuff Chainsaw mill
Stabila 4' level
Canon Vixia HF g20 camera
Manfrotto tripod
The cabin looks great. I am interested to see you don’t use any underlay. How does the roof deal with condensation under the metal? Thanks.
Ah, I see you have answered my question below in responding to an earlier comment. Thanks.
For roofing my dad would tie two aluminum ladders together across the peak. You could just shift it over whenever, and it could hold a person on each side.
A long ladder anchored really well is how I did the last sheet on my barn, & the ridge cap… I used a chimney knot on my rope, it’s like a prusik and won’t slip till you want it to….
Looks really nice! Great job, looking for the finished product in a few months.
Nice video, and timely, I’m getting ready to start this tomorrow. My cabin is also 12/12, that bit about getting the last peace in…not looking forward to that.
I have another video on this channel …..about building my very first cabin.It was a 12×12 , my wife and I lived in it for 2.5 years!
Great cabin. Really enjoyed this series. Looking forward to seeing the rest of it completely next year.
You coming up to visit , or just gonna watch the videos?
Loving this cabin! You guys do awesome work! What a beautiful place :>)

Dave Really interesting series, I’ve enjoyed watching your progress with the cabin . Enjoy the road trip . Take good care.
thanks.
I made a roof ladder out of an old ladder I had laying around. Installed large hooks on the end, worked great.
awesome. I knew there must be a better way. LOL
Hi, I build all the buildings and house on the farm and did the same to help me sheet the roof by making a hook on to a ladder that I could move on my own. Worked well and I never fell off from the roof that was twenty feet off the ground!
