Awesome roof! 🌀💚🌀

Many commenting on the waterproof layer. Indeed worth it if you ask me, please check out Ekoplus based in the south of the Netherlands. They have a whole assortment of building materials with more proper background. This same foil comes also from the brand proclima. I used it myself and feels quite the same as well known brands like dupont. Their knowledge is very valuable…

If you want to do your videos in English, it might be a good idea to have the spoken parts done by someone who can actually pronounce English at a basic level. This video is an example of not succeeding at that.

Maybe you could have used 'tar paper' good for waterproofing, but no so good as a vapour barrier. Still I think sometimes a compromise between natural and synthetic is necessary, so good choice.

I don't know why, but the chalk covered string line really made me smile

Looking awesome! Great work all of you

No skylight for natural lighting?

Why not make the roof out of glass..
My only dis so far is yall do repairs but don't think of future problems and the way your repairs look in comparison to nature..
I think they shouldn't standout so much.

@8:45 is that oil on the beams?

Hahaha "you have good insurance?" 😂😂😂😂

Well done guys!

I'm portuguese and I'm not sure hot building and rebuilding old buildings works, it it legal? don't you need to have a plan and show it to the governament?

The supporting beam doesnt even touch the ceiling. I dont think one support beam at the entrance just magically fixes aka reinforces the bottom part of the building. And the walls dont look particular strong. I dont think this building is safe.

dont know how much structure support that metal door frame did the load bearing wall is on the outside from what I see and the upper granite above that door is the main support, this beam isnt connected to that just bolts on the end and even connected wouldt do much you should have removed the rotten granite and put the steel in its place

so impressive to see you do hard work like that 🙂

I didn’t understand the waterproof layer either when building a small camper, but then my friend reminded me how soda cans condensate with liquid when temperatures vary from inside to outside. The same thing can happen with the structure even if it’s not rainy. Im sure there is a more sciency explanation. Definitely worth having!

Genios!

I want to live there

make it a little bit safe…good idea

Hi. I was thinking the tiles are also waterproof. When does the plastic help? (Except for when a tile breaks). Are there other circumstances / reasons the plastic helps?

what kind of product did you use on the wood before installation?

It looks like u have a layer of damp-open, waterproof textile.
Best practice is to have a water-tight layer (plastic) just under your render on the inside (for instance plasterboard) because the warm moist-laden air is mostly inside, to prevent that from entering your wall. On the outside you better have a damp-open layer (like you got there), to let any moisture out, but still want it waterproof. You'd prefer to have a cavity wall. So ideally, you have a skin on your building that keeps rain, wind and direct sun off your inner insulated wall. The cavity between your layers must be ventilated to prevent condensation. The ventilation holes should be top & bottom, preferably close to corners and ends of the cavities to prevent stale air, and should be meshed with stainless mesh to prevent vermin like yellow jackets or mice to enter the cavity and cause problems.
Cheers ;o)

There was this cork that actually went inside the bottle

waiting for long time

Thanks for posting and sharing. Glad to see the progress on the ruin.

You guys changed..what happened

What a sNON-sustainable way to 'fix' an demolised building. The building you guys 'renovated' will last 15-20 years at most in Portugal. And then I'm not counting any huge storms and extreme drought.
Why don't you guys make from scratch a REAL sustainable building? Looking at this video you guys bought new: the wooden construction, the insolation, the windows, the roof and some more structure fixing materials… WHY? This building is very small, is not warm in the winter (needs a lot of heating) and is not cold in the summer (except the moisty basement).

You guys work so hard! Thanks for another great vlog 👍

Love the channel but howecome do 2022 nature lovers look like 70”s pornstars?

Did you buy that land?

Cool video and great work.

<3

Guys you added a waterproof layer and then you punctured it to secure the battens. Usually the membrane goes over the battens and you nail the membrane to the battens. This way you get a kind of channel through which water is drained, with no holes where the water can infiltrate through. The membrane is only puncture on the high part of the channel where water will never run through

Cork is a great insulation material, hopefully you got it at a good price since it's local, but here in France it's very expensive. Good job! Also, less music maybe or something softer.

I would have knocked that building down without a second thought, what you guys are doing to keep this and “up cycle” what you had to work with is amazing, great commitment to your mission

Be sure that the support touches the part which it should support. So its best to knock some wooden dowels in between the beam and the roof at the girders of the roof. I know this because ive read a lot of mining books. So its either the support touches the thing it is trying to support, or its not supporting at all, and if it comes down, it will take the support with it. A thing in motion as a lot more energy in it than a thing that is not moving at all.

I think your project is really cool!

Dont you guys want a harness that attaches to the top of the roof, so you cant fall down off the roof? I bought me two of those, because i felt unsecure when i was cutting some branches off a tree. So i had to get them. It was cheap second hand army surplus stuff, but it looks like its really strong and heavy duty. For 15,- a piece, not too bad.. 🙂

He if you want to check out some awesome books on building buildings, and machining stuff etc. etc. I have uploaded all my books on my archive page. Link is on my page.

The waterproof layer is well worth it. You want to have it. Also what you want to have is to treat the wood with some wood preservative that keeps insects, and fungus from harming the wood. I saw something go on the wood. But make sure that it is all the wood. And that if bugs eat the wood, they die (i know that sounds a bit rough, but these bugs are hardcore building destroyers).

Any way, good luck! It is starting to look really good.

Maybe with all the experience, you can start to build your own buildings from the ground up.

Feels like Dave is back with his weekly updates even though there is no Dave in the video:)

Rafters need to be fastened on top where they meet. Steel planks tied with screws or a piece of wood would do it.
I personally did wider rafters and put insulation between them, on top a one-way roof membrane to let condensation out the house. The beams-counterbeams net I attached directly to the rafters, which is more stable for earthquakes and gusty winds that will try to pick the entire roof up. My shingles are metal, yes not natural, but very durable and light.

Where's the 3d model?

very nice, and sounds like an American has joined the Kamp

I work at a world renowned architecture firm and I tell all my interns to watch your videos and to sign up.😀
