After a lifetime of solving problems with stick built, the whole concept of anticipating a 5-6 inch settle just pickles my mind! This whole build has been a masterclass. Totally engrossed by your vision!

I went for a 600 mile drive from Sudbury to the Muskoka back roads last Sunday. It was glorious! I've decided my dream is to live in Cold Water. We all fell in love with that little town. The colours were brilliant. I'm so happy to live in a place with four seasons. I think you did a miracle by doing that roof all alone but I didn't expect anything else from you. You must have a great sense of accomplishment and you must sleep like a log. All of this and still time for Cali. You just never disappoint.

The insulation that Shawn just installed and the planks underneath the membrane level will dampen most of the sound. I would also assume that Shawn will put some insulation in the spaces between the wooden structure underneath the roof (which are now only accessible from inside, so under the planks which will I guess will have larger wooden boards screwed onto them).

Nicely done. You had some challenging intersects on that roof. I'm interested to see how you finish the chimney with a secondary roof jack. In 50 years of S/M I have seen problems with exposed fastener systems so I generally preferred concealed systems. Probably getting too late in the year to deal with the extra time needed to one-hand that type of system. Anyway I've admired your adventure almost from the beginning and vicariously enjoyed your progress.

In Florida we have to apply rubberizing sealant between the seams and adhesive rubber sheeting between the overlaps of metal roof panels before screwing down the metal roof. High winds during hurricanes cause the seams and sheets to flex and rain syphons up through openings created when the seams flex into the attic otherwise (I learned this the hard way) Also, the screws have to be replaced with longer and wider screws each time and seams resealed every 10 years due to loosening during hurricanes. Metal roofs need regular maintenance, but they never need to be replaced

Cool. I plan to tear down 1/2 of my cabin now standing on pilars, and then build a new section on a solid base with a frost free and stable basement. The problem is that the existing section is 'rooted' above the frost level and the entire cabin moves upwards in winter. (I don't want to demolish the entire cabin as it has a beautiful interior). This video gave me some ideas how to fuse the two sections.

I’ve got a metal roof on my cabin with foam insulation. My leaks have always been around the cone of the metal chimney. I have resealed it several times. I believe the metal expands and shrinks and breaks the seal. The other issue is the screws work their way out as the metal roof expands and contracts. I have refastened several areas and sealed each hole with silicone. They now make larger screws (bigger threads) that may work better. My roofer friend says all metal roofs with exposed screws suffer from the screws working loose over time.
