My last house was a log cabin with a metal roof. Everybody loved this house and very well knew in the area. I too ‘loved’ it had everything from a huge shop, garage and pool however the green metal roofs. I hated the metal roofing. 1st year had to re-torque all the screws not too bad all in all but that had become a yearly to do, blocked cell phone service, and when it rained it was loud. Happy now in a new house with asphalt shingle roof. Good video really like the disconnect. That Jeep came a long way from when y’all started on it.

The noise coming from your bandsaw is mostly from the pulleys rubbing against their housing. You can bend the housing back toward the motor to prevent this. I also found that bending the tab that holds the door shut to be a little tighter helps too. Do you get your steel from triple-s in Knox? That's the cheapest place I have found for new material around here.

For crossmembers I prefer to use 2 bolt flanges for some of the reasons you pointed out as far as space and distance off the hoop. Plus the weight on the interlocking is ridiculous. 3rd advantage is super easy to remove. Those interlocking ones can be a bear if anything tweaks. Enjoy watching the build and the trial and error.

Awesome vid. I noticed that prop Rod didn't drop down too far into that socket or that nut that it was dropped into. I think I would add a bungee that would hook and bring a little downward pressure from the hood so that if you got your head under there on a Gusty day it doesn't blow up and fall down on your head I've had that happen before

You should clean your metal before welding or tacking them up. Metal has a coating from factory to keep them from rusting. You can have some very pretty welds that will fail because of lack of penetration do to the coating

Before you put the plugs and wires on make a paint mark @ the top of the boot where it meets the wire and install it, hopefully w/ a click. Measure the distance between the bottom of the boot and the hex on the plug. Then repeat that process for all the others. That's a common issue. Sometimes they don't click but if it's on, it's on. High voltage will find it's way, I hate spark plugs wires😁

Matt I'd bet the dielectric grease is creating a air pocket. Essentially making the plug wires more difficult to install. Try applying the dielectric down towards the base of the plugs instead, just at the interface. That is the beefiest relay mount ever😂.
