hey everyone sam here and angela and we're green acre homestead
are you ready i hope i'm ready we're gonna let the cat out of the bag
oh no you want to untie the bag and let the cat out
sure all right so we put out the teaser video
of a new project and sorry to tease you guys but
hey we had fun hopefully you had fun too but we're here to go ahead and tell you
guys what the new project is
and it is a new roof a new roof for the house yes this is um
something that's really been on our wish list for a very long time several years
probably ever since we got this thing we were like okay we know we want to do
this project someday it seems like some day is
actually maybe closer it's not today but it's
closer i hope yeah yeah me too
so we've got all of the plywood which you saw on the previous video
there's also two by sixes there which are going to be used to
build out the fascia or the overhang kind of what you see
of the roof overhanging with the house and then there's underlayment
along with that there's a handful of other tools and stuff that i've been
getting over the past couple of months probably yeah and um
we're gonna get rained on we are all right we moved inside the greenhouse
we um got a little rainstorm coming through hopefully you guys be able to
hear us okay all right so where were we you've been
gathering tools that's right i have been gathering tools
things such as a cordless nailer a tool belt rig
apparatus you know suspenders holding tools
and the special staplers and other things we need for this project
the main problem we've had recently is we've been having
a lot of thunderstorms just kind of not showing up on the radar but
they kind of pop in on us in the afternoons so we don't want to get
the wood up on the roof and then all of a sudden a rainstorm hit
um i know some of our friends that happened to
doug and ashley i think a lot of people watching will know them
if not there's a link down below they got their
roof open and we're getting ready to put plywood i guess up and they're
shooting yep a big rainstorm came through so
our roof should not be open but we still don't want
the wood that we're putting up there to get wet and warped or whatever
right so we are keeping an eye out on the weather
and it's really been hot here and um hot and humid yeah it's um early
august mid august we've kind of been watching for a couple weeks
and we've had temperatures mid 90s with no no break high humidity so
between the heat and the weather we've kind of honestly been sitting on
these materials for close to a month haven't we yes yeah in
the that video if you look closely you'll
see in the background the greenhouse wasn't finished we hadn't had the
plastic on it and stuff so a little preview of how long things
actually take in reality versus popping videos out in a series youtube
world yeah youtube land so the game plan for this
roof over is to leave our mobile homes metal roof
intact as it is i'm gonna lay down the plywood
sheathing over top i'm gonna have it overhang the house all
around that way we'll have overhangs on the roof
and that way when it rains the water won't run straight down the side of the
house and on the windows and in around the window
air conditioners and everything if if anyone of you out
there have ever lived in a older mobile home or you do now
you know exactly what we're talking about once the plywood's down
we'll cover it with underlayment a good synthetic and then we plan
to do a corrugated metal roof for this it's one thing we've really wanted to do
not only for the benefit of it's actually lighter than shingles
i think a metal roof would be lighter than doing shingles but also the ability
to collect rainwater from it um just kind
of want to be one of those things once and done
i never got to get up there again and it'll match
the metal roof of my workshop and the outdoor kitchen
and the boys playground kind of it's all this same color metal roofing anyway so
we'll match we will match google earth will be happy
i haven't got the metal roofing just yet but i want to get that very soon
just in case there's any hiccups with manufacturing
um right now there's a lot of weirdness going on with lumber shortages
everyone in the world is building decks apparently so
as long as i'm gonna let the cat out of the bag too bad they shouldn't hear it
we're doing metal roofs so we should be good on that but
we'll see i just remembered one of the other toys
that you got mainly for this project oh yes well taylor i know what you're
talking about so his main punch line or whatever
for getting the drone was for doing the roof
that it would how about compromise you've been you have been very um
persuasive that you want the roof done because of
other things you want done i've always said well we gotta do the roof first
and so compromise was okay get the drone and we'll do the roof sooner
so that is something that should help us get a lot better angles and show
some cool real really cool shots yep plus you'll be able to fly it
while i'm up there working you'll be able to basically put a camera up there
where i don't think you're working i don't
have to go yeah i don't think you're going on the roof at all probably during
this project probably not not if you can help it yeah um that's
going to be one thing it's a challenge um this will be a pretty much solo
project between the two of us probably i'll be doing a lot of the work
myself up on the roof on top of the house for sure um
just one of those things that's how we do we always do stuff ourselves so
yes um we considered you know hiring a company to do this but
the fact that i know this is something we can do ourselves
i'm like it makes it really hard it makes it really really hard
to do to pay someone else to do it whenever we can do it ourselves
all right so let's talk about some of those guesses you guys had as of the
shooting of this video we had about 220 guesses that's really good on what the
materials were for what project we had going on
that was really really awesome so what was the most common
all right so let me go ahead and overlay this really geeky
pie graph that i made so check this one out i extrapolated all the comments we
had up to this point grouped them by subject
and organized them by most popular least
popular that told you is geeking out you are
geeking out so the most popular one was actually that we're gonna do an addition
that would be wonderful yeah you guys know us like
of what we want or need the most in addition is definitely it
but it's not time for the addition just yet we would love to do one though
seriously the second most popular was the roof so
we've got some smart cookies out there watching us
they know what's going down okay and what came in at number three
number three was ace i'm going to slur and mess it up so yeah stitch it
soap shed or a place for angela like a she shed
or a soap room or something of the sort um
which again you guys know us we would love to have something like that
that would be very nice to do one of the other um
good guesses was siding was that yes that was in the top ten for sure but um
that is something that we really want to do
it is in our list of things we want to do to the house
we just don't know in what order they're going to be done we know the roofs first
because and it's something we've talked about for years but we're talking about
on the camera now um you know we want to do siding because
we love to do a nice porch we'd like to do nice deck or
something of the sort but it's like how do you put siding up
whenever you're still dealing with a roof with no overhangs no eaves
so it's like the starting point for us is the roof so what about some weird
ones what were some all right here was my favorite ones as
they came in i would chuckle and i told you
i don't i think i told you the first one come through and uh
let's just see if we can recreate this one all right okay so let's let's
pretend oh just got a comment on the video yeah
this one's funny someone guessed nursery for the new baby
what no no more babies not if we can help it
we are good with our tube and we've known that since we got
pregnant with the second one yeah that two is our complete family
yeah i feel good that way um apparently i may have
hinted or give some people the idea because at the end of the video i was
like something rolled up our sleeves or pink
tank top i was just commenting that she was
wearing a pink tank top and actually i comment often that's like your youtube
shirt it seems like a lot of videos you're
wearing the pink tank top it's kind of like me in the blue and
white button-up shirt that i'm not wearing today no you're not sorry you're
not wearing your pink tank top nope so that was humorous thank you for
the chuckles um but nursery is not in our plans ever
if look it's right here that's our closest thing yeah
and this is an indication though anyway that's a separate video
um i think my most humorous guest we got was somebody just just being fun
they said a four-hole outhouse there you go hey the family that
outhouses together one of the other top comments and
everything was the boys room like the boys floor that is on the list
the boys bedroom and the flooring in our house is not bad
no it's not like we're jumping over pits of despair and stuff like that
um it's just you know not perfect we've done the really really bad spots in
really bad flooring areas so don't worry we're not like making the
kids jump over holes and stuff like that
they're safe they're good um that'll probably be a winter project though
kind of like how we did the kitchen and dining room last winter we'll probably
do the boys bedroom and our bedroom this year
we are very excited to start a new project and get something else going
it's been kind of a weird year for everybody
and this summer has been very hot and humid
and then starting in with the rain and so it's just kind of thrown off what we
wanted to do project wise but i think we're gonna try and push
forward just to make progress yeah i think um the last video we put up
being about diy project really showed us probably what most of you guys are here
for what you like to see right right you might like us good
enough but diy home renovation is probably what
you're here for oh you know what we won't have this time
demo no demolition man really
wow i don't think we will i guess that's but that's what i'm so
good at i'll find some demo for you don't worry
i'll get you on the roof there'll be some demo
no well guys thanks for coming along and finding out finally what our new
project is going to be and stay tuned um hopefully we will
start soon pending weather and weather that
type thing yeah we're just waiting on the weather
to clear and cool off so um if you have any questions or
comments please leave them below we'd love to read them
um and otherwise i guess we'll see you guys next time
thanks for watching bye bye
you
