Just a word of caution, follow the six inch rule when using a air nailer or power nailer. Keep your free hand at least six inches away from where your nailing. You will eventually have a nail hit a knot or grain and turn out of the wood toward your hand. If you have ever accidentally run a nail into your hand you will never let it happen again. Don't ask me how I know!

@HanbleceyaRanch 2 года назад

I can only assume you’re speaking from experience…. (Ouch!!). Since this video, I’ve changed how I use my nailer to ensure that doesn’t happen. Thanks for the tip! 😊

@jeffhowell667 3 года назад

Put some flashing on the wood siding side. And put some z flashing on the Eve side under the drip edge down over the 1×4 that would stop water from getting behind it. Cut a slot in the siding side so the flashing can slide inside it then silicone it.

@HanbleceyaRanch 3 года назад

That makes a lot more sense than just adding silicone 🤦‍♂️. Gonna look into that. Appreciate the info!

so this is what we were thinking for our family... Buying some land and then either buying two sheds or buying one and setting it up to afford the other.. was thinking of how we could connect them. Thanks for this process! i am glad we could actually connect them in some way. we thought we have to do some kind of porch.. looks great!

We were in the same thought process as you are now. I couldn’t find anything online on how to connect mine so I just went for it. A year and a half later and we couldn’t be happier. Be sure to check out my “1 yr later” follow up to this. Best of luck to you! 😊

@karenchesser7874 2 года назад

That is what I did. I sprayed foam in the areas that are open just to keep the squirrels out. But I found out that bugs still will gets through. So use the green can of expandable foam for pests mixed with a large open stainless steel mesh. (It is the one you can get in the kitchen section you use to scrub pans with.) Don't use just steel but the stainless steel or copper pads. Learned that the hard way. The gray foam form works for awhile but the squirrels pull it out.

@HanbleceyaRanch 2 года назад

I like the idea of SS mesh and the pest foam. Am going to dig a bit deeper into that. 😊

@charlestrainor4133 Год назад

I found if you don't tuck the foam rubber sealing strip in away from the edge of a roof cap strip, ravens can and will peck at it and pull it out just because they can.

@sandravanlankvelt7975 3 года назад

Maybe consider running a strip of white gutter from the high end to the low end and attach it to your building so it would overhang over the roofing on the house extension below. Also important there are foam strip pieces that you need to stick on ends of your metal roofing that overhangs an inch or so to keep the ants, bee's etc. from getting up underneath your roofing panels. The grey foam strips have the same design as your roof panels. You could call a metal roofing company and ask them if they have any to sell or where you can get it. You should take a piece of your metal roofing with you in order to get the correct pieces. It's an easy install.

@HanbleceyaRanch 3 года назад

Hi Sandra, yep we have the foam strips and are installing those at the top and bottom of the roofing. As for the gutters we do plan to utilize them near the end of the hallway roof. Thanks for the comment!!! 😊

@mattide7348 3 года назад

When you are using the nail gun keep your free hand as far away from where you are shooting the nail as possible. If the nail hits a knot it will bend and go out the side. I've had it happen to me and I've seen it happen to many people. It really hurts when it shoots into your hand lol

@kurt16950 3 года назад

several things to help you not have water issues... 1. bend flashing so it goes under the drip edge and over your rib on wood side. 2. with a low slope roof you can have siphoning effect, so put the ag panel seals between flashing under the edge of the steel on low side to prevent siphoning along with ag panel gasket to seal (and keep out critters). 3. On your walls, put in J channel. You can silicone the wood - J channel seam. Good luck with your learning process! Read the comments people have written and then check with someone in your area that has experience.

@HanbleceyaRanch 3 года назад

Hi Kurt, thanks for commenting!! Yes we made improvements to the roof using the flex flashing. We made a follow up video showing that. We’ve seen some intense storms recently and the improvements have held up beautifully. We’ll make another follow up here in a few months to review and see how it’s holding up. Thanks again!! 😊

New subscriber, Chad from Adler Farms sent me over to say hi. We're eventually going to put a couple tiny homes on our property we just purchased. We have major construction going on right now on the house. I will be moving my 75 year old mother onto our country property hopefully in the next 6 months. I believe that we have decided to go with a tiny house for her. We also have two disabled adult children and a grandson with Asperger's (autism) that currently live with us but to give them independence we're most likely going to add tiny homes for them as well. So far I enjoyed watching how you put the two homes together. I will definitely keep watching as time goes by to get great ideas as to how the layout might go on these homes we're putting on our property. Love how humble you are, the fact that you say you're not a carpenter is great. As my grandmother would say "you never know if you're going to accomplish your dream if you don't give it a try!" Great content! Much Love from our family to your family 💞

So happy you stopped by! 👋 Sounds like you are going to have your own little neighborhood! ❤️ I love the idea of the tiny homes for everyone so they all have their own piece of heaven!☀️ If you have any questions on our layout or anything we have done please reach out.

When you put that siding up . You should allow the quarter inch gap for expansion and attraction and the best way to do it too is put the silicone on the end of the piece it would before you put it in it helps seal it up

On your pitch issue in the ceiling you should have put that 2 x 4 on top of the rafter instead of under you would've still gotten the pitch on the roof but your ceiling would've been flat. Looks good though for having no experience just keep that on mind for the next time.

@Sleekfalcon 2 года назад

I would have used metal flashing instead of the piece of pine. I also noticed there were no 2x4 sections to support above the window. If you'll have the weight you were discussing up there I'd definitely add them if not to late to do so. You have one horizontal framework you need vertical structural ones to take the weight off the window and distribute it to the wall.

@HanbleceyaRanch 2 года назад

Hi Eric, at the time I built this I had no idea about framing the window properly. I’ve since built a few things and learned a few things… you’re right about the window and that’s something we’ll revisit in a year or so. It’s performed well for the past year.

The right way is to open up both roofs and build a joining roof to make them as one! If you don't know how, then hire it done! Otherwise, it's going to look like crap and rot the wood then leak.

@HanbleceyaRanch 2 года назад

Not arguing that attaching the rafters is a good way to do it, but we like the way we did it just fine. We did a “one year later” video you may want to check out. We really like the look and feel of it as it is. 😊

@julien2912 Год назад

I always dreamed of connecting 2 tiny homes like this together to make a bigger one. But alway imagined just butting them up against each other to make a shape of a T or an L, without making a connecting hallway like you did. Couldn't you have just butted them up against each other to connect them?

@HanbleceyaRanch Год назад

We get a lot of snow in Maine and so when I designed the hallway, it was with snow in mind…it needed somewhere to go from the roof. So I figured I’d add the hallway so the snow could still slide down, then down the hallway. It works very well so long as we take it, which is t much of an issue since we rake our roofs anyways. Hope that helps!

@why-be-normal7014 2 года назад

One thing I’ve learned over the years that just about everyone doesn’t do and to me is a big difference is when u cut any wood I try to keep the saw wider part one the bigger side of the wood that’s on the horse or that’s not going to be the piece that falls off .bin doing it the other way for so long and the cuts always end up with a little wave in it or cut off the 90deg cut ,just something so simple to me made a big difference down the road especially out in the woods trying not to waist anything.

You might think about putting some gasket material on the ends of the panels that matches your tin roof. Keeps out small pests

@HanbleceyaRanch 3 года назад

We plan on adding some steel wool and either silicone or a gasket material in each opening. Appreciate the suggestion!

@NanaMom104A 2 года назад

That roof needed metal flashing. And that pine will rot much sooner that you realize.

@HanbleceyaRanch 2 года назад

Hi Cathy, we did a follow video where we improved the roof with flashing, then did a 1 year later video. No issues as of yet though it needs a bit of attention before winter 👍

We have a cabin in north New Hampshire almost like the ones you have that was made in Limerick ME. Yes, you are right. The snow will tell you if you have a problem. I think it looks good.

@HanbleceyaRanch 2 года назад

Hi Peter, ours came from Smyrna so not far from Limerick. We made it through the winter and the rainy season with no issues. Stay tuned for an update on how it performed.

@louisejohnson6625 2 года назад

When you cut the tin off the bottom nail it on top to match the roof.

@HanbleceyaRanch 2 года назад

@timmygrosso9406 2 года назад

I've been framing for many of years what you did looks like it could work I like the idea the other guy had of putting the z flashing in if you do that I think you'll definitely be dried in

Very nice job, a difficult situation to attach the houses no matter how you do it, I love your channel I am happy for you guys. My husband and I have the same dream, but we have to stay in CT for a couple more years until the kids are off to or done with collage then we are selling everything and heading up to Northern Maine God willing. Hope to see you sometime up there. We are looking at Houlton area.

Thank you for the kind words. That’s our neck of the woods so we may just cross paths 😉

@josephbias2524 2 года назад

Not bad job for beginner but I might have raised the roof a little higher on one side for the snow to slide down but I'm like you a beginner

@HanbleceyaRanch 2 года назад

Thank you for the kind words Joseph. There is a small pitch but you’re right, it could’ve been a little steeper.

@charlestrainor4133 Год назад

What you just did, I will probably be doing eventually. The plan is to get the first cabin in place then place the second cabin as you have, in an el. At this point I'm leaning toward putting the first cabin higher than the second. It would be high enough that I could make the second cabin roof, a single pitch, leanto design, set it lower to the ground, butted right up against the first. The roof could fit right under the eaves and a short staircase inside would accommodate the difference in floor level. The heater would be in the lower of the two structures so heat would migrate into the higher cabin.

@HanbleceyaRanch Год назад

Love the concept! We considered an “L” shape but decided against it because I was afraid of the amount of snow we’d have built up between the “L”. We ultimately decided to go this route and we absolutely love it! Wishing you the best on your future build! 😊

@@HanbleceyaRanch I'll be down there (Belfast) on the 16th of October to start sizing up my plan. You're way up north I gather. Maybe if we decide to do some driving, we can swing by for a closeup. As acquainted as I am with insulation, I think I'll have at least 6" in the walls. I'm looking at a mini ice age on the horizon. Later, Jarhead.

@HanbleceyaRanch Год назад

@@charlestrainor4133 We’re up a bit north of Belfast. So here’s my 2 cents on insulation after a winter here… we used 4” Johns Manville R13 in the walls and ceiling…while running both wood stoves, our cabin was quite toasty (even at night) in -20. I’d say R13 is the minimum and anything greater than that would be improvement. That said, it was not uncommon for us to have a handful of windows open even when the temps outside were in the negative. 👍🇺🇸

@guyh.4553 6 месяцев назад

Why didn't you toenail the nails instead of going straight in? I didn’t understand that. As far as the hallway goes, you need to have more stringers on the top then lay down plywood then your metal roof. For the winter, put down some roof heating cords to melt snow off.

@HanbleceyaRanch 6 месяцев назад

Thanks for the comment! For the small size of the hallway, it didn’t make sense to add the heating wire for the snow, it takes a minute but using the rake works for us. As for the hallway build, I built it with what I knew, in hindsight there are a few things I would do differently, but ya know, it works great as it is. Thanks again! 😊

@sarahbolger6886 2 года назад

You said that you would have to a sloped ceiling and how to rectify it. Nail some 1x3 to the existing ceiling joists but nail them horizontal to the floor and then nail your lattes or slab board to the 1x3 and then you won’t have a sloped ceiling any more

@HanbleceyaRanch 2 года назад

Woah! What a great idea! We plan on revisiting the hallway next year(ish) and I’ll look into this. Thanks for the input! 😊

@brendahaire8824 2 года назад

You need someone that specializes in roofs to do this. It may cost some money up front but, it will be less money in the long run from damage caused from weather.

I'm sorry, I just could not remain silent on this one. I don't think I've ever seen a DIY project where I constantly cringed and shook my head through the entire thing. I wanted so bad to yell at the screen and tell the guy he's doing everything WRONG! Sadly it's too late for that, and he will pay the price for it. I just wish he would have consulted a professional on how to do all that.
