My Dream Shop Ep-34: Standing Seam Metal Roof Start! 

I just love it when Cole yawns real big in the background while dad is talking... reminds me of my sons.

“Ooooh I get it”.. priceless

I worked with my dad quite a bit when I was Cole's age. Looking back, those times are some of my fondest memories...even more so now that he's gone. I'm really enjoying seeing the two of you work together. You should be very proud of the young man you're raising. Keep up the good work.

Birds and the bees talk is always less awkward when working

Cole saying no to needing to have a conversation only to realize 5 minutes later what you actually meant 😂

So THAT is where all the R23 Rockwool went. I've been having a heck of a time finding some for my workshop.

The quality and craftsmanship you put into these projects is incredible. Way above beyond typical buildings of this type.

That's the detail that I wanted to see. I've seen it before but it's nice to see it again with a little more detailed explanation. I'll be using the same materials that you have used so far on my next post frame. Thanks!

Quality Sells Itself All Day Long! 🇺🇸

Yeah let's go 12:30 at night up for work at 6 but got to watch first😂

Having the right tools makes a great difference 😊, keep up the good work.

Wow we are at ep 34 already

looking forward to the series

Good morning 👍👍

Thank you for teaching Cole. Hopefully one day this will be the longest running family channel 😂

Great job Cole. Dad you’re a very lucky man.

Son Cole didn't want that male/female talk. It's your other son, Greg, that worries me. 🤣

The layout math everyone was waiting for is in this video!

Awesome job, Sir! You guys are legends! God bless!

Loys of work. Looking forward to the roof.

Another brilliant video. Great info shared and something to learn from every video.

Love your channel, thanks for sharing your experience and expertise.

Contractors must hate your videos. Thats a good thing

As a 20+ year contractor and over 30 years in the trade, I still pay attention. Always trying to learn 👍🏼

Great job as always guys. 👍👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Go ahead, Dad 😊.

That notching machine is bad assssss , once set up the time saving is so huge it pays for itself inside of 5 jobs I bet. I don’t know how many standing seam snap lock panels I’ve hand hemmed but it’s a bunch, if I ever get into doing more roofs I’ll be buying one of them.

Shout out to Cole. Very quick study and super attitude! Not to mention a great head of hair!!!

Word of the day-pendulum. OUCH!

Being from Europe Im blown away at how much time and different components do you use. Sheeting, taping, vapor barrier taping, window taping, sheet metal cut in 10000 places so it would fit, trim details…like however good it looks it takes sooooo much time. An industriap workshop here in Europe, it would just be built with prefabricated steel frame and walls as well as roof would be done with PU foam filled sheet metal sandwiches and that is id, done. Same water protection, same heat efficiency, same or even better structural strength and probably maybe even cheaper.

Did I hear a birds and the bees joke in there?😂

I wish Kyle would adopt me. Jokes aside, I hope Cole takes advantage of all the knowledge his Dad has to offer. Cole could slide right into a very successful construction business.

The roof I'm doing right now has the same sort of layout for the panels. Using a mesh that's called meta matrix, thought it would be a pain to use but isn't that bad. First time using it too, but the cap details are a bit different from what I'm used to. It's a 4 sided rectangle roof too. For the capping we have to put the z bar down, then caulk the joints where the z bar ends between panels. Then we run a piece of butyl on the top side of the z bar, then I put on a "clip" which is basically just another cap piece that's a 1/2" shorter then the actual capping, basically the same way Z bar is but it's a continuous full piece and a second layer of cap pretty much, we then screw the clip/cap to the z bar so the z bar is about 2" back from the edge of the like starter cap. It makes putting the cap on go by so smoothly especially for being on hips.

You use an underlay under lead roofing too, saves any kind of adhesion, so the lead can move freely and not wrinkle and tear itself.

This barn will have a better roof than most people's houses... I'd say overkill, but it is Kyle's Shop!! lol

Try to find some 6 foot lanyard with breakaway stitch section, and a pelican hook. You then use that to connect to your YoYo. Much easier to use, so you are more likely to actually attach, it is also great to use on the scisor lift or man basket when you are leaning out beyond the OSHA reach line.

Any contractor who has two Gregs has got the world by the balls.

If someone falls off your roof, I sure hope you don't leave them hanging like you did with us by ending the video like that.

Appreciate the detailed explanation and the ‘why’ you do what you do. From a fellow contractor, I have learned a lot from watching your videos. Thank you.

“This is kind of above and beyond” Kyle. That roof is above and beyond, beyond, beyond💀 Probably the only structure in the US built to this quality

From one contractor to another you do great work and if all contractors would have that type of work ethics, customers with complaints would be far more less likely to have a reason to complain, just saying, and I love your videos for they help me to think more about what I am doing and why; putting myself in my clients place and asking the question, " Is the project done correctly, does it look right, does it or will it function as it is supposed too, and am I completely satisfied with the end product? Thanks for helping me to ask better questions in my business so that it continues to grow.

👍

I always think about my son watching this channel. Cool dad! Been watching for years. Gimme a heart Kyle!

There already is a drainage plane built into the metal roofing panels. Not only at the seams, but also in the accent ribs.

My dad used to take me onto his job sites and show me some stuff? All I could think about was girls? Everything looked like a women? Until I could make some excuse to go? But later on I choose another career path and eventually after finishing it out I came back to my passion ? Carpentry; cabinets and finish! My shop never will get that big though ? Cole looks like a nice young man way to Kyle oh and Mom too.

My local metal supplier will now prep the ends (notched and tabbed) at the factory, only $1/sheet. gotta get Metal sales to do that for you

I’d love to see what you decide to do with the electric

Are you planning to have the roof finished by St. Paddy's Day? Bet it looks awesome when done. 👍👍👍

Get that next video up I'm starting to have withdrawals!

For some reason the ribs on most metal where I'm from are 7/8" high so I gotta go that or lower with the bends or else the gable trim sticks up funny. Also with ASC metal in the pacific northwest the panels aren't 16" they are like 16 and 1/10" so every 10 panels you gain an inch making layout more complicated.

New drinking game. Take a drink everytime Cole yawns

Hey Kyle love your channel, wether you install the Cedar Breather or not, when you install the steel with the hem at the bottom, when the moisture runs down the membrane, where does the water go, how does it escape the hem????

Oh…. I get it😂

I hope tomorrows episode does a lot

Bloody hell, how much stuff goes on this roof before the tin

Its great your working with your son, However I have worked with my sons when they were your sons age and they drove me nuts.... Now they are grow we work great together. Its their sons driving them crazy. Funny how that works. LOL Ron

Could have done a full piece down the center. Meaning the center of the piece would be on the center of the ridge. And you would have started with an 14” and you’d end with an 14”. Making them bigger on the gables and not having the so small on the ends.

The poor guy! He probably was gaming the whole night and you wake him up so early in the morning? 😂😂

😁👍🏼

Cole just yawning . Haha

That was a professional dad sigh

They DO NOT make contractors like this guy anymore.

I was glad to see you are wearing a safety harness while working on the roof…but then I wondered what would happen if you actually slipped off. How do you get down to the ground? Or back onto the roof? The safety rope to harness is behind your back. I skimmed a couple of videos - they’re good at set-up but none showed what happens after a fall.

Scratching my head to understand why you ripped a panel to have 2x 8" on either end, rather than just shift the whole roof over by 8" and then starting and ending on a full piece? Something to do with gaining symmetry with the meeting peaks of other roof sections? Btw, I'm a desk jockey so have nooooo clue, so apologies if this is a mega dumb question!

👍✌

I am looking at doing standing seam on my house build and I can appreciate you guys going above and beyond on your builds for sure. But do I actually need osb and underlayment on the underside of the metal roof if i'm going to be doing 3" of closed cell sprayed on the roof for sealing envelope? Trying to learn from your vids and other sources to create a " most efficient build for the money " post frame home. So I can get the most out of my money on a lower budget. Thanks for all the videos and keep it going!!

Hi Kyle, great video series. I´m wondering why you don´t use a ventilation layer, between your roof sheeting and the metal roofing. I´m a carpenter tradesman in Germany, we more often then not use tiles on residential buildings, but there is a rerquirement for all roofing materials that they are ventilated on the underside by a continuous layer of 4cm roughly 1 and1/2 inches, from the gutter to the rigde. Especially on metal roofs that is important, since thesy get extremely hot in the summer, warming up the room below.

😃👍🏼👊🏼

Hi. In Europe (Czech R.) we can order steel/aluminium panels from factory with already cut male/female and with the bend. From faktory is alredy made on both ends, so you can chose layout direction you want… thats big timesaver. Can you order it at you plase? Faktory can not do hip and waleys…

Hey guys how is it going

Kyle, I tolaly agree with the membrane and the screen. I'm just confused with the weather logic. Why not just osb. Please explain.

Put a mark on your shear to bring the end of your sheet to then you dont have to mark every piece

You should have started 14”

Do you have to drive between people's houses to get to the shop? I've always wondered that.

you look like carpenter Canelo Alavarez

I see you got your new badger toolbelt, saw Joel‘s post on Instagram that he was building one for you. Can you do a video on it and tell us what you think about it? I have diamondback bags now, but think I want to order a custom badger set. Any thoughts would be helpful.

What are your thoughts on how Matt Risinger creates his air gap/drainage plane under his metal roofs by adding angled pieces of wood his metal panels attach to compared to a material like this cedar breather?

I was curious how much the under layment and breather cost. Looked it up. An additional $2 a sqft approx. Dang that is one expensive roof!

How much did that machine set you back kyle?

Looks like a bomber roof! Are you going to use cedar breather or another rain screen behind your LP smartside?

He REALLY loves product brand names

With using the vapordry SA do you think taping the LP on the roof is still necessary?

Kyle, rather than measuring every 16” wouldn’t it be easier to cut a board at 16” and use it to mark?

Do you have to do in app purchases for your Construction Pro app? I saw Lowe’s or Home Depot had Construction Pro 5 for 39 dollars. I’m just wondering if the app has features added that warrant the monthly payment for the app?

What are the new bags? Those the Badgers?

Be honest, how hard was it to pop that first nail through that ice and water :)

Kyle, not related to standing seam, but do you ever use LVL for stair stringers? I’ve ran into issues with 2x12 developing a very bad crown once the steps are cutout. I blame it on internal stress in the wood. Would love to know your thoughts.

Been needing to ask; does LP Weather Logic have R9 panels like Zip?

I would never guess in a million years that Cole is the son of Kyle

When did Richard Simmons' hair cut start making a cime back?

If you started with the center of the panel instead of the center of the rib, you would have a 14” beginning and end pieces as well as used 1 less piece on that side of the roof. I’m assuming you want the ribs to line up on the opposite side and may need the rib for support of the valley trim pieces?

Where is the building and trades students??? The school system should send them to RR for an internship...

"OCD Alert" OMG, look at all that oil drippings on your new clean cement floors...

morning Kyle, do you guys do work all over the country or just in Illinois?

Freebie?

What type of harness is that ?

so this is a standing seam metal roof. What type of metal roof is typical on your post frames? I see the word AG panel thrown around but i'd like to know what to search for and who installs it in my area =)

Instead of starting with a rib in the middle, why not start with the center of the sheet in the middle? you would end up with almost a full sheet on each end.

Who is your camera person?
