    Hej Kalle! KZread rekommenderade en av dina videos till mig för ca 10 timmar sedan, och sedan dess har jag suttit fastklistrad vid datorn och tittat på dina fantastiska videon. Du har inspirerat mig så oerhört mycket så att jag kan inte tacka dig nog!🙏😊 Jag har drömt om att göra min egna version av det som du gör, och dina videon har övertygad mig om att jag kan göra det!❤ Precis som dig har jag många gånger känt att jag ligger efter i livet, att alla andra har full koll på läget men inte jag... Men tack vare ditt content börjar jag inse mer och mer att allt som har hänt, framförallt det som jag tidigare har betraktat som misslyckanden, har bara pushat mig i den riktningen som jag är ämnad att följa. Du har berättat så mycket i dina videon som jag kan relatera till så att det är nästan läskigt. Tusen tack Kalle🙏 "Who dares wins"

    I don’t normally comment or like videos, but I think this needs to be spread through KZread like you said. There’s something so peaceful and natural about building a house or cabin in the middle of the woods. I think more people need this inspiration to get out of the city and go be in nature, even if it’s just long enough to build a cabin and stay in it on weekends or just when a getaway is needed. There’s something amazing about having somewhere to escape to for some peace and relaxation. Thanks for sharing this build. The algorithm worked because this is the first time I’ve seen your channel, and I’ll be checking out more!

    Design wise it looks beautiful. Few advices, since I built similar structure recently: 1. OSB is very unstable for torsion and bearing. I find it very unusual to see it as construction element supposed to "carry" weight. I see it is framed but I would definitely reccomend you to add more horizontal strengthening between triangels. For construction (weight bearing elements) beams I usually use pine wood. 2. Your lowest wooden beam is too close to the ground, moisture evaporating from the soil will fasten the rotting effect. I tried to lift it at least 50cm from the ground to allow air to circulate. Also I treated it with several layers of impregnation and paint. You could also just burn it on the outer layer. In my region (e.g. Northern Croatia in hills or mountains) there are wooden buildings 100+ years old, using the burning wood technique. Traditional construction technics can be a great learning source.

I don’t share all of your opinions, but you and your girlfriend are honest, decedent people and very likeable. We do live a very different life from the one you are living now, but I see why you do it. And we are currently remodelling an old house so I know about building and what it costs. I‘ve been to Sweden more than once, but never made it north of Uppsala. But you made me curious, so I will put visiting your area on my bucket list. I wish you very good luck with the new cabin and your life in the woods. Greetings from Germany!

    This is so exciting Kalle 🤩 I signed up for your Curiosity Stream/Nebula bundle about 6 months ago and I'm enjoying it so much! So many great documentaries!! You really can't beat this deal! Now I can watch part 2 of this A-frame build 😄

    Love the build and the hard work you put into it. Can’t wait to see the finished A frame. I never saw your channel but came across this video and am glad I watched it. ❤
