The roof screws should go on the hills of the iron and not in the valley where you have put them . With the screws there you have created future leak points .During heavy rain those screws will be submerged in water . Rust never sleeps .
I am of the same opinion, however I have seen quite a few videos where they have done the exact same thing, I suppose it gives a cleaner look but as you say, it will create a leak problem, the other issue is the lack of a moisture barrier under the roofing iron to deal with the inevitable condensation and water dripping of the underside of the iron
Like I noted above, this is actually the way they are supposed to be installed. The screws are too short for ridge install, and the panels would crush unless they were supported. It's a stupid design, but he did it the way it was designed.
Well, that's true. He also should take every screw into every wood frame out, dip it in polyurethane sealant (Sikaflex), and screw it back in. As it is, water is going to wick down the screws and rot the frames. The roof screws should have Tefgel....expensive...but would be happy if you coated them in sealant too. Water will advance the reaction between metals. On old metal sheds on farms they always rust out at the screws.
@@ckm-mkcIn Australia all roofs are corrugated steel. All screws go on the ridges, the screws are longer to accommodate this. The screws do not crush the ridge down as the screws have a short length of thread at the top to hold the sheet, a smooth shaft and then thread at the pointy end to self tap into the steel roofing frame.
Amazing work 👏 i really hope that you plan to insulate under the roof too! Having triple glazed Windows is great but if your thin metal roof is uninsulated it won't be of much benefit
These panels are used for sectional overhead garages doors . When we added wood for reinforcement we always primed them with water proof exterior paint. The wood will always get wet unless you throughly seal them with caulk. Just my personal experience. The build is coming along nicely well done. Sincerely Michael Sylvester
If they're properly flashed, moisture shouldn't get to them. Personally, I'd limit the amount of treated lumber in both my living space and in/around the water. Of course you'd use treated lumber down on the bottom if it touched the deck, or in a normal building where they're touching concrete. If he gets water intrusion into the wall panels, he's going to have way worse problems than rotted wood. That open cell foam is like a sponge. I'd be the wall panels would fail before even the untreated wood would rot.
He said in the long run it would work out better for him. I agree with him. As if it ever rots he can just remove the window and do it again but better. He’s leaving room for improvement. As he knows he’s not super experienced. I respect it. ✌️
Apart from being more suitable , treated timber is also cheaper than non treated . Non treated (CLS) is only for internal stud work , definitely not on boats
13:21 All newish Aussie homes have corrugated sheet roofs. There’s one really important step to take, all the screws must be on the TOP of each longitudinal corrugation ie the high part, not in the trough. This prevents water from eventually finding its way down a screw thread. The top of each longitudinal ridge will not have water sitting on it like the troughs will. Specialised screws are used which are self tapping into metal but there is a few millimetres of thread at the top of the screw, bare shank and then thread again where the screw goes into the roof beams. Silicone washer underneath. These are also used for corrugated transparent acrylic sheet, these are great to intersperse with the steel sheets to allow light in. They are hail and UV proof.
You sir are a true Englishman, as in.. you open the box and never read the instructions 😉 Looks good and I hope you have enjoyed your hard work.. GL with your next phase to a new comfortable home..
What a great recovery from a frustrating situation. You have resilience and that is a great way to enjoy being a life long student. Thanks for sharing this.
Hi my German friend, Nice to see how your floating and sailing boat is developing. It will be a very nice and space efficient home when everything will be finished. I guess this is the last vlog of yours for this year so also on behalf of my wife WIlleke, I wish you and your relatives a very merry Christmas and a happy new year plus I send you love from the Netherlands
Great to see you back ,was starting to think you had decided to live on land . The progress is quite a surprise, as you are close to living aboard now , overall the build has a cool modern look ,and with a well planned fit out should provide you with Comfortable living conditions . All that's needed now are regular vids for the faithful. Already looking forward to your next episode, best wishes for a safe & happy Christmas . Respect....!
Oh, da hat sich einer viel Arbeit gemacht und seinen Traum verwirklicht. Ich bin sehr angetan, und es war sicherlich ein sehr weiter/ langer weg zum Ziel. I ch wünsche vom ganzen Herz viel Freude mit dem hübschen Hausboot.
Poly panel or EPS can be bent .... especially gentle curves as you have. The inside face is saw cut 2/3 of the way through as many as is required to create the curve .... works well.😊
Looking good, and an A for effort,but,we dont know what we dont know, till its taken twice as long, and double the cost.That roof will leak in no time, you don't screw through the pan, you fix on the top of the "A" at the highest part.The pan is where the water runs.PS Roof flashing is an art, get some advice on how to seal the roof, properly the first time, beats chasing and fixing leaks down the track.
for the roof I think you made a mistake by placing the screws in the water channel instead of the ridge when it rains there is a higher chance of you getting leaks as time passes, great content
True, but pretty much all corrugated roofs are designed like that. The screws are not long enough to be installed on the ridges. The only other option is a standing seam roof with no screws, but that is much more expensive.
@ckm-mkc corrugated roofs are the most common where I am and have been for decades, and I think every roof I've seen old or new has the screws, or historically roofing nails, on the peaks of the sheets. So unsure why it is impossible to get longer screws there.
Well done, you achieved a great result and learned many things in the process - you will be able to do your next barge in a year easy.😉 Don’t focus on the mistakes - that’s the price of gaining experience and the people who have never made mistakes have generally not made anything.
In Australia the screws are put thruough the steel through the high part of the sheet ( to a given tension that didn't crush the sheet) NOT the low part of the curve. This means they don't have water running along the screwed section, which reduces the chances of leaks.
fantastic! I haven't seen your channel since you were patching holes in the hull! You've come a long way and I am pleasantly surprised to see what you've accomplished. I however have grown rusty with complacency and fear I am still sitting in my too expensive apartment going closer to loss of it all. But I'm glad to see your video.
In windy ocean type climates where folks have thatch (even even slate) roofs, the locals run rope over the roof line and hang stones to keep everything in place during high wind conditions. Your roofing material, when high winds hit it, will fly right off. The metal will tear off around the roof screws. Think about how you can reinforce the roof to make it more wind worthy, and not get in your way. Perhaps a cargo net or cloth.
It looks fantastic. You compensated your mistake with excellent planning. In my opinion. With narrow doors where needed, and sliding windows. I'm curious about the Helm platform. Will it always be exposed to the elements? Any plan for enclosing it? Thank you for sharing the progress! It's a beauty!
How are you gonna get a sofa in there? 😮 you should have put a double door in the front 😣 where the 3 windows are and then have the to on the side as fixed windows.. but loving the build 🙂 you are doing great stuff 😊
The roof construction as is, is more for a shed than a living space. We usually place a waterproof membrane then the sheet metal. Also we add battening between the roofing material and the water proofing. quite important when you have metal that will expand and shrink in winter and summer weather. These screws will leak sooner rather than later.
The professionals really came out of the wood work on this build video 😂 he used the right materials on the roof the screws are bought for that roofing
When you finish your project and start using it, it would be extremely interesting to know your fuel consumption and speed figures in different modes. Or maybe you already can share some preliminar numbers. Thank you
Learn from your mistakes and inexperience. Planning will be much different on the next one. You have maxed out the usable deck living/entertainment area. Leaving little or none for the sides, bow and aft (cleaning, maintenance, etc). Any plans for insulation and sound suppression (rain, falling objects, wind, snow) below the metal sheets? Not perfect but will do. The laser engraver seemed okay. Enough time for practice.
Just finished binge watching all your videos over the last few Days, what an adventure you have been on. I understand that in no way are you saying this is the way to do it, but it is A way. Obviously there are things I would have done different (not that I expect I would have started in the first place) and lots of things you would probably do different with hindsight. Thank you VERY much for entertaining me over the last few Days. I have enjoyed the way you present and your learning process from a box of old tool to where you are now. Cant help wondering what has happened to your old floating platform though. Wish you best of luck in this New Year, I will continue following your progress with interest. Also you now have a new Subscriber 🙂
i just watched this amazing video. i am so jealous.... may i suggest you install an array of 12 volt car batteries 2 or 3 will be enough. Then just use cheap 12 volt clear beam lighting and cheap 12 volt oscillating fans for your ligr light and internal air flow. The car batteries will be good for 4-5 years if you charge cycle them appropriately... gives you very low cost electricity.
Nice job! I´ve seen your project since you started and I thought you were to build a terrace or a viewpoint on top, not a whole flat roof. That´s the main attractive of any boat to enjoy the panorama and relaxing place but it' s my thinking and maybe you have different plan for your boat. Am I right?
LOL... I work for LightBurn and just got off work for my 4 day xmas weekend... And another laser.... Hey! this was supposed to be my relax after work and not think about lasers! Good job on your first burn though. You can use a light sanding to remove any debris from around the text.
Für das Ausschäumen der Fenster hättest Du eher wasserresistenten “Brunnenschaum“ verwenden sollen. Nachdem Du nun Holz in Deinen Sandwichwänden hast, kann dieses durch Feuchtigkeit schnell verrotten. Du solltest Dir nun Gedanken machen, wie Du die Fenster von außen dauerhaft, dauerelastisch und UV-beständig mit einer Leiste abdecken kannst.
Good work but you should have screwed the roof down with screws going through the higher of the ridges on the metal sheets not the lower ones. that will definitely leak now as that rubber around the screws doesnt last long
Hello from Houston Texas, the barge boat is looking very nice are you planning to make it into your main living space or something else . Merry Christmas to you ❤😊
Please take this as the sincere compliment that it is. You're like the Bob Ross of boat building. Calm, relaxed, rolling with mistakes, learning from them, and making a work of art.
Mate, I admire your work ethic but I think your videos are more a how not to do this type of work as your efforts are painful to say the least but still you must be congratulated for getting a good result and that’s what it’s all about, so well done.
I didn't see any insulation for the roof, is that a good idea? The boat is looking better and better, can't wait to see the final result. I wonder what will it feel to be in it in the winter, I guess you already have a heat source in mind. I like your work. Kudos.
Wonderful build, i wanted to build a boat like this my entire life, but i never could afford it beeing a one person household. The messurement to windows and doors seems strange, i am a carpenter, and when you order window/doors you order them in decimeters like 6*10 etc. And the real messurements are always 2cm smaller on hight and with, so you have place for your insulation. This is a standard, so how could it be wrong..?
I'm curious - shouldn't the roof screws be on the raised parts so you don't have any chance of water seepage? Btw, merry Christmas to you and your loved ones and here's to a better 2024.
Are you using insulated freezer panels for the exterior walls? About 20 years ago I started building structure using insulated freezer panels. The panels I use are 6" think and I had to figure out on my own how to work and build with freezer panels. When installing doors and windows in the panels I cut the foam out and insert wood, I use a efis hot knife to cut out the foam to insert wood and it takes seconds to do it and there is no mess.
You should have installed the roof screws on the high spots, not the valleys. Water rests in the valley more than the high spots creating greater chances of leaks and corrosion.
Well. The roof construction as is, is more for a shed than a living space. We usually place a waterproof membrane then the sheet metal. Also we add battening between the roofing material and the water proofing. quite important when you have metal that will expand and shrink in winter and summer weather.

Conception de bateau très intéressante. Pour les fenêtrse; Avez-vous des fenêtres qui s'ouvrent vertical a l'extérieur pour laisser entrer l'air et non l'eau lorsqu'elle pleut dehors ?
what a cool boat. been following you for ages and its always wild to see the dream become a reality. with so many boats. do you plan on down sizing some at all?
One thing regarding the roof! You put in the screws right into the drainage spots of your roof which is the worst location you can put them! At this position all the water from your whole roof will float over the screw and the one little seal covering the hole to the inside. 5 cm to the left and you have them on the highest spot so they have no possibility to stay under water at any point in time. I mean now it is done but this really is a stupid spot because all that is preventing your screw from leaking through the roof is its little seal which is not pressure tight. I would personally screw out the screws a few cm, cover the seal and screw with Sikaflex and tighten them up, and then I would cover the hole thing in Sika just to be sure there is no leakage. In my opinion, the screws seal alone at this position will fail, and it will cause you pain if not treated.

I love this project, however I’m very concerned with the weight added particularly using all that steel and the large glass windows. As others have stated here I would have used sikaflex compounds on every seam and panel coming into contact with each other water will find a way in anywhere given the chance. You. Probably are very aware of the windage area added with the closing in of the walls.
Just a thought, are you going to fit a camera/camera's to the front of the barge so you can see better from the helm. Seeya Rob...........Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year mate.
