You Only Get One Roof & Here’s How To Make It Last!

Описание: The roof is finally on—and we’re 100% watertight!

In this video, I walk you through the full process of installing the roof on my off-grid cabin, including flashing, rigid insulation, and sealing everything with blue skin. It wasn’t all smooth sailing—there were a few missteps, sharp edges, and one very confusing rib alignment—but in the end, everything came together.

I also talk about:
-Why I chose rigid foam insulation for the roof
-How I handled freeze/thaw protection and flashing overlaps
-Tips for avoiding screw mistakes and getting a tight seal
-What to do when things don’t line up and you’ve already started screwing in tin…

This video is packed with helpful insights for anyone tackling a metal roof on a cabin, tiny home, or off-grid build. Plus, the weather tried to slow me down again—but with a little persistence (and a lot of caulking), we got it done.

Questions for You:
1. Have you ever tackled a metal roofing project? What would you have done differently?
2. What’s your go-to material for insulating and waterproofing in off-grid builds?
3. Would you have used caulking or another method to seal the tricky roof edges?
