A Simple Project Became Anything But That / Off Grid LOG CABIN Building

This was a perfect example of wanting to do something very simple and quick and then I got carried away and made a much more complicated thing out of it. Maybe too much for a clothes hanger? I don't regret it and it's a unique piece in the cabin with a lot of interesting details. Having the possibility to build the log cabin myself, what I like the most is being able to do things as they come to my imagination.
Thank you for watching!

    The craftsmanship, dedication, and perseverance you share with us and the calmness you radiate are so unique and admirable that you absolutely deserve the beautiful words and credits you get! And how you've filmed it all, from the moment of lifting the heavy logs on your own using your tractor from different angels until today is also beautiful! I still enjoy it and always look forward to the next one. Keep up the good work!

Tudi tvoja družinica je čudovita, prav tako način kako vzgajata otroke v pridne in ustvarjalne ljudi. Da nebom preveč osladen pa še ena rahlo kritična....v vseh teh letih odkar spremljam tvoje prispevke tvoje drage in otrok še nisem slišal spregovoriti slovenske besede ali pa se motim? Italijanski jezik imam sicer rad in ga tudi precej razumem , vem, da je to tudi njihov materin jezik pa vseeno bi bilo lepo tudi iz njihovih ust slišati tudi kako slovensko besedo.......

Also, the simple engineering in teh pulley system. Art, engineering, craftsmanship all in one piece.
