The roof screws should go on the hills of the iron and not in the valley where you have put them . With the screws there you have created future leak points .During heavy rain those screws will be submerged in water . Rust never sleeps .

@errolseager1292 4 місяці тому

I am of the same opinion, however I have seen quite a few videos where they have done the exact same thing, I suppose it gives a cleaner look but as you say, it will create a leak problem, the other issue is the lack of a moisture barrier under the roofing iron to deal with the inevitable condensation and water dripping of the underside of the iron

@ckm-mkc 4 місяці тому

Like I noted above, this is actually the way they are supposed to be installed. The screws are too short for ridge install, and the panels would crush unless they were supported. It's a stupid design, but he did it the way it was designed.

@jerrycooke6511 4 місяці тому

Well, that's true. He also should take every screw into every wood frame out, dip it in polyurethane sealant (Sikaflex), and screw it back in. As it is, water is going to wick down the screws and rot the frames. The roof screws should have Tefgel....expensive...but would be happy if you coated them in sealant too. Water will advance the reaction between metals. On old metal sheds on farms they always rust out at the screws.

@teeanahera8949 4 місяці тому

@@ckm-mkcIn Australia all roofs are corrugated steel. All screws go on the ridges, the screws are longer to accommodate this. The screws do not crush the ridge down as the screws have a short length of thread at the top to hold the sheet, a smooth shaft and then thread at the pointy end to self tap into the steel roofing frame.

Hi my German friend, Nice to see how your floating and sailing boat is developing. It will be a very nice and space efficient home when everything will be finished. I guess this is the last vlog of yours for this year so also on behalf of my wife WIlleke, I wish you and your relatives a very merry Christmas and a happy new year plus I send you love from the Netherlands

@teeanahera8949 4 місяці тому

13:21 All newish Aussie homes have corrugated sheet roofs. There’s one really important step to take, all the screws must be on the TOP of each longitudinal corrugation ie the high part, not in the trough. This prevents water from eventually finding its way down a screw thread. The top of each longitudinal ridge will not have water sitting on it like the troughs will. Specialised screws are used which are self tapping into metal but there is a few millimetres of thread at the top of the screw, bare shank and then thread again where the screw goes into the roof beams. Silicone washer underneath. These are also used for corrugated transparent acrylic sheet, these are great to intersperse with the steel sheets to allow light in. They are hail and UV proof.

Great to see you back ,was starting to think you had decided to live on land . The progress is quite a surprise, as you are close to living aboard now , overall the build has a cool modern look ,and with a well planned fit out should provide you with Comfortable living conditions . All that's needed now are regular vids for the faithful. Already looking forward to your next episode, best wishes for a safe & happy Christmas . Respect....!

Amazing work 👏 i really hope that you plan to insulate under the roof too! Having triple glazed Windows is great but if your thin metal roof is uninsulated it won't be of much benefit

fantastic! I haven't seen your channel since you were patching holes in the hull! You've come a long way and I am pleasantly surprised to see what you've accomplished. I however have grown rusty with complacency and fear I am still sitting in my too expensive apartment going closer to loss of it all. But I'm glad to see your video.

@TheMikesylv Місяць тому

These panels are used for sectional overhead garages doors . When we added wood for reinforcement we always primed them with water proof exterior paint. The wood will always get wet unless you throughly seal them with caulk. Just my personal experience. The build is coming along nicely well done. Sincerely Michael Sylvester

@jesselaporte7184 4 місяці тому

Correct me if I’m wrong but the lumber used in window and door frames should have been treated lumber to avoid inevitable rot.

@ElleDelSol 4 місяці тому

If they're properly flashed, moisture shouldn't get to them. Personally, I'd limit the amount of treated lumber in both my living space and in/around the water. Of course you'd use treated lumber down on the bottom if it touched the deck, or in a normal building where they're touching concrete. If he gets water intrusion into the wall panels, he's going to have way worse problems than rotted wood. That open cell foam is like a sponge. I'd be the wall panels would fail before even the untreated wood would rot.

@johndario88 4 місяці тому

He said in the long run it would work out better for him. I agree with him. As if it ever rots he can just remove the window and do it again but better. He’s leaving room for improvement. As he knows he’s not super experienced. I respect it. ✌️

Just finished binge watching all your videos over the last few Days, what an adventure you have been on. I understand that in no way are you saying this is the way to do it, but it is A way. Obviously there are things I would have done different (not that I expect I would have started in the first place) and lots of things you would probably do different with hindsight. Thank you VERY much for entertaining me over the last few Days. I have enjoyed the way you present and your learning process from a box of old tool to where you are now. Cant help wondering what has happened to your old floating platform though. Wish you best of luck in this New Year, I will continue following your progress with interest. Also you now have a new Subscriber 🙂

Looking good, and an A for effort,but,we dont know what we dont know, till its taken twice as long, and double the cost.That roof will leak in no time, you don't screw through the pan, you fix on the top of the "A" at the highest part.The pan is where the water runs.PS Roof flashing is an art, get some advice on how to seal the roof, properly the first time, beats chasing and fixing leaks down the track.

@thouartit 4 місяці тому

In windy ocean type climates where folks have thatch (even even slate) roofs, the locals run rope over the roof line and hang stones to keep everything in place during high wind conditions. Your roofing material, when high winds hit it, will fly right off. The metal will tear off around the roof screws. Think about how you can reinforce the roof to make it more wind worthy, and not get in your way. Perhaps a cargo net or cloth.

@wyattfamily8997 3 місяці тому

In Australia the screws are put thruough the steel through the high part of the sheet ( to a given tension that didn't crush the sheet) NOT the low part of the curve. This means they don't have water running along the screwed section, which reduces the chances of leaks.

@licencetoswill 3 місяці тому

yep, not just australia, all of the world. there is even a roofing code standard somewhere that explains this.

i just watched this amazing video. i am so jealous.... may i suggest you install an array of 12 volt car batteries 2 or 3 will be enough. Then just use cheap 12 volt clear beam lighting and cheap 12 volt oscillating fans for your ligr light and internal air flow. The car batteries will be good for 4-5 years if you charge cycle them appropriately... gives you very low cost electricity.

@javiermartinez701 4 місяці тому

Nice job! I´ve seen your project since you started and I thought you were to build a terrace or a viewpoint on top, not a whole flat roof. That´s the main attractive of any boat to enjoy the panorama and relaxing place but it' s my thinking and maybe you have different plan for your boat. Am I right?

@assmanxhire 4 місяці тому

I didn't see any insulation for the roof, is that a good idea? The boat is looking better and better, can't wait to see the final result. I wonder what will it feel to be in it in the winter, I guess you already have a heat source in mind. I like your work. Kudos.

@ChrisHarding-lk3jj 4 місяці тому

Are you using insulated freezer panels for the exterior walls? About 20 years ago I started building structure using insulated freezer panels. The panels I use are 6" think and I had to figure out on my own how to work and build with freezer panels. When installing doors and windows in the panels I cut the foam out and insert wood, I use a efis hot knife to cut out the foam to insert wood and it takes seconds to do it and there is no mess.

@gordonagent7037 4 місяці тому

@rolandtb3 4 місяці тому

Learn from your mistakes and inexperience. Planning will be much different on the next one. You have maxed out the usable deck living/entertainment area. Leaving little or none for the sides, bow and aft (cleaning, maintenance, etc). Any plans for insulation and sound suppression (rain, falling objects, wind, snow) below the metal sheets? Not perfect but will do. The laser engraver seemed okay. Enough time for practice.

Für das Ausschäumen der Fenster hättest Du eher wasserresistenten “Brunnenschaum“ verwenden sollen. Nachdem Du nun Holz in Deinen Sandwichwänden hast, kann dieses durch Feuchtigkeit schnell verrotten. Du solltest Dir nun Gedanken machen, wie Du die Fenster von außen dauerhaft, dauerelastisch und UV-beständig mit einer Leiste abdecken kannst.

for the roof I think you made a mistake by placing the screws in the water channel instead of the ridge when it rains there is a higher chance of you getting leaks as time passes, great content

@ckm-mkc 4 місяці тому

True, but pretty much all corrugated roofs are designed like that. The screws are not long enough to be installed on the ridges. The only other option is a standing seam roof with no screws, but that is much more expensive.

@benmac940 4 місяці тому

@ckm-mkc corrugated roofs are the most common where I am and have been for decades, and I think every roof I've seen old or new has the screws, or historically roofing nails, on the peaks of the sheets. So unsure why it is impossible to get longer screws there.

@cousinjack2841 4 місяці тому

Doors and window are a bugger to do but wait until you try a staircase....Please tell me; what happened to the old tug?

@Sequesterer 4 місяці тому

The roof construction as is, is more for a shed than a living space. We usually place a waterproof membrane then the sheet metal. Also we add battening between the roofing material and the water proofing. quite important when you have metal that will expand and shrink in winter and summer weather. These screws will leak sooner rather than later.

@matt060383 4 місяці тому

Good work but you should have screwed the roof down with screws going through the higher of the ridges on the metal sheets not the lower ones. that will definitely leak now as that rubber around the screws doesnt last long

@mikeanderson2730 4 місяці тому

Wonderful build, i wanted to build a boat like this my entire life, but i never could afford it beeing a one person household. The messurement to windows and doors seems strange, i am a carpenter, and when you order window/doors you order them in decimeters like 6*10 etc. And the real messurements are always 2cm smaller on hight and with, so you have place for your insulation. This is a standard, so how could it be wrong..?
