Dangerous Work on the Roof: Can We Seal Grandma's Cabin Before Winter Freezes? ❄️⚠️

***

In today’s emotional journey, we travel deep into the remote Zagros mountains to visit our solitary, resilient grandmother.

With freezing winter temperatures and heavy snowstorms fast approaching, her rustic stone cabin urgently needed protection against leaks and harsh rains. To help her stay safe and dry, I brought several buckets of roofing tar and essential tools to seal the roof.

When I arrived with the supplies, grandma had hiked into the woods to collect firewood. Soon after, she returned carrying a heavy load of oak logs on her back.

We carried all the materials behind the cottage, lit a warm oak fire, swept the dry dirt and debris off the stone roof, and placed the tar buckets over the flames to melt.

Working on the rooftop can be dangerous—grandma carefully handed up the buckets of steaming hot tar while I poured and smoothed it across every section with a rubber squeegee to seal every crack.

Throughout this demanding day in the chilly mountain air, grandma paused to feed grain to her chickens and tend to her loyal donkey, keeping memories of her sweet cat Mickey close to her heart.

She brewed fresh wood-fired tea over hot embers, prepared a traditional nomadic campfire lunch outdoors, and then climbed up to help finish the final touches on the roof.

Thanks to this hard work, grandma now has a strong, weatherproof stone shelter ready to endure the bone-chilling winter cold. We ended our long day gathered inside the stone cabin, sharing a delicious, warm home-cooked meal together.

About the Channel:

This channel documents the authentic life of a solitary, hardworking, and kind grandmother living deep in the remote mountains.

In her ancient stone-and-mud cabin, far away from modern city life, she perseveres daily to build a home, survive harsh natural elements, and sustain a peaceful off-grid village lifestyle.

Follow our journey as we restore her historic home, construct mountain shelters, repair roofs, seal structures against rain and snow, carry heavy construction materials up steep trails, and prepare for freezing winter conditions.

Alongside these building projects, you will experience the quiet beauty of rural life: gathering firewood, baking traditional bread, outdoor campfire cooking, brewing tea on hot coals, caring for animals, and listening to the peaceful sounds of untouched mountain nature.

Our goal is not just about building walls—it is about sharing a heartfelt story of endurance, hope, and love for simple living.
