let's go Brown here and today's exciting episode we are helping another builder redo this whole
roof ruff - ruff the patches we're hoping we can remove this old roof and put a new
roof down before the rain comes this weekend so like any demolition we start in Reverse so
the last thing you do when you do a roof is the ridge cap and that's what we're taking off just
in case people are worried that I've replaced Potter with Cameron here don't worry I haven't
partly just arrived Cameron has sort of being part of the channel for a while now he's one of
the let me borrow the capex and a few other tools and she's another builder in Auckland
and we try to help each other out so that's what we're doing with this roof that's this effete or
soffit pretty much what we expected I would native timber cooling native timber framing
check this cutout you see the roof here so we're just standing on these things but they are
supported by these trusses you see all the roof space here that's been insulated so far so good
apart from a little bit of rot on the purlins at the bottom here so that there will need to replace
so this is the new iron here powder-coated before
it arrives and it's cut to length as well so all we do is flip it around
so the underside is rubbing on the scaffold there and then we slide it up
I just such a great job Potter keep it up fiction every time so you can probably tell that
there was no paper underneath the order that's fairly standard with these Odin zealand houses
alright managed to drop my ruler my lens cap and my vacuum cleaner just
kidding that was bored down here let's go have a look at the roofer
we made some progress guys as you can imagine it's an old roof so there was surprises so
under there is just two big holes they go down two bathrooms cut them out later when the new
windows are made will skylights you know what I mean this already started spitting the clouds
gathering and to the end how goal was to do this in two days and tomorrow which is going to be
as soon as I took this camera or whether it'll be tomorrow we'll show you how these rafters are made
so let's have a look at that now here it is the structure it's literally a hundred by
fifty going from here the a pictu the roof all the way down to there and as
you can imagine it's very bouncy Cameron's found some structural support down here to
785 45 over here hundred eighty about 45 far out another news Potter and I
decided to wear our uniforms today completely unarranged but hey good friends think alike
time for a Scott Brown carpentry with that update a bit of cloud but you know nothing
too drastic fine we gonna put that tomorrow though Friday or today if
you're watching this 90% 90% rain so we got to get this roof done today or else
we are up to a tremendous start from the side we had to replace a few pillars
we've this new roofing we just put a couple of screws in each sheet so we can
get them all down and then it's easier to screw in a straight line after that
yeah see that rafter there that goes from the wall to the other wall but
right in the middle there just yeah clean cut it so I'm gonna have to reach support
there it looks like maybe there's a chimney there or something in the past
blast old sheets so no [ __ ] that's what kidding
we did a birth we did it I didn't work this thing have you bought Cameron trying
on there yeah but like it's like stuck on camera the way to celebrate any completion
of a roof is to fly a drone about how cool is it anyway briefs done
