Cody, It's so kind of you to build this cabin for a single mom and her 3 kids from 3 different daddies.

Man I’m really enjoying these daily episodes Cody, please if possible continue to do it like this expect for your off days brother!
Loving these. Currently building my own offgrid cabin in tropical Australia. Bought the land outright and now doing all the building myself while living in a leaky 1970s caravan. Good times, praise God for the opportunity.
When I saw the title I thought "Damn that was quick". You got me 😆

At this rate, be lucky to see the real roof on before the snow falls in 2026.
I know we have experimented with a lot of different styles of videos on this channel. This, by far, is my favorite and why I keep coming back to this channel.
Cody, your work is truly a masterpiece, exhibiting exceptional attention to detail. Pay no mind to any voices of haste; quality workmanship rightfully demands its due time.
The shot of you ripping boards with the snow capped mountains in the background was pure art.
The last minute of the video was incredible made me reflect on how simple some things can be but they are so important in the end, very important to never leave any stone unturned in a project finish it completely
He’s never in a hurry. Steady, but never hurried. Maybe that’s part of why he has quality work instead of rushing
I'm guessing Cody produces these videos; kudos to him for that, and also his far-ranging practical knowledge on many hands-on topics, sense of style and humor, willingness to show his imperfections and flaunt his idiosyncrasies.
The music at the end was a beautiful touch. Really helped me forget about all the worries of the world and focus on the joy of building in a lovely nature scene, even if it was just for a few seconds. Thank you.

You're very welcome!
Really enjoying this series, sir, thank you! One of the great joys in my life has been the time spent in the shop and garage with my dad building furniture or finishing renos on a house, and watching you do this project step-by-step, methodically, is a wonderful reminder of that. Makes me realize I haven't appreciated that time enough though.
Afternoon Cody, really enjoying this series, had stopped watching you for quite some time so it nice to go back to my old habits watching you, turn on iPad, go to KZread, select your latest video, hit like AND Then be entertained and educated, well done. Also noticed you look much fitter than a couple of years ago, take care
Board and batten the back that would look awesome!! killer job
Literally saying all the words my grandpa used to say when I was 9 and I had no idea what they were, and always wanted to. Thank you!!! If you could do a Vocab post for the noobs and city mice, I know we would all love it! Thanks for the content! You’re the man! 👍🏼

Making progress! I want to build a kayak rack with a small roof over it. This gives me some ideas.
if this power hookup house isn't finished in the next three episodes my head is going to explode!
Simply beautiful, beloved.

Thank you so much!
Hard not to be inspired working with that scenery.
That smooth motion behind the saw....now there's control for you!
Looks like Wranglerstar is really "raising the roof" with those rafters!
Enjoying the slower series. Great watch!
I used to be a professional builder, custom log home repair and renovation was my favorite thing to do. I was in renovation and got known for custom carpentry reno work. I used to use fancy tool belts. Back injuries have gotten to me so I use a nail bag, with a rasp, a tape, a nail set, utility knife, and sometimes a small utility side cutter. Lol that's my kit these days. I'll still do small custom things if someone asks for help or teach them in the process. Always wear suspenders now too.

Same here! The last few years that I worked, I had suspenders on my toolbags!
Those tight rings on that lumber is SO much ! I always look for the tightest grain I can find when picking handles for strength (front to back, of course) .
Well, now that gives me the fizz..... the roof and the view. Very, very nice.
Amazes me that viewers won't hit that like button. If I watch something even for a fraction of the time it plays out I still hit it. Come on guys.
The beautiful mountain in the background! Very nice property!
Quite the view you have there sir.
Very nice!
The mountains in the back or some would say mountain is breathtaking
What a picturesque homestead you have!
Nice, loved the Mr Roger's feel of this video.
Episode 15: time to plan the cabin
The birds are gonna love to nest under it ~
if you use a longer holder (perhaps 6 inch) for your P2 driver bit, you will find its easier to see that it is in line to the screwhead, reduce skidding and thus damage to both. I find that a longer holder only rarely gets in the way of driving.
When ripping on the table saw, slip a couple of fingers of the pushing hand over the fence. If something goes wrong, this helps keep the hand from being thrown into the blade.
That's giving me the fizz Amazing Smooth work cody!
Well now, that is a beautiful little rafter roof!
Vintage Wranglerstar vibes in this series!
This is the best channel
Great work! Start as you mean to go on.
Beautiful work. For a west coast man raised by a single mom.
Wranglerstar, Your videos always make me happy, so I subscribed!
Looks awesome 👌
wow, so pretty. I'm having an awesome time with watching this project.
Love this series
Thank you 🙏🏼 you are blessed 😊
Absolute genius at subtle ways to trigger comments.
Cutting off the bull nose to make it look like you harvested the wood lol
How strange, I've watched every video of yours as soon as it came out for the past 6 months, but the last 3 videos you put out were never suggested to me on my home page. I had to go to my subscription feed to see you posted. Either way, I'll keep watching! Loving the series
That's going to drive me crazy!
For a moment I thought the roof was skew, how could I have doubted you Mr Wranglestar.
I love the new cordless drills with a clutch, to help prevent stripping out screws!!!!!

Now you're going to have to put some V'ed edge 1x6 T&G vertically across the back to give it a finished look from the road.
When he sat the roof on top of the posts along with paino music, it was just like whenever Linus wrapped his blanket around Charlie Brown's Christmas tree.
Good timing for me with this awesome series. I need to start building a similar meter stand this weekend.

There are a few things that are better than framing outdoors on a sunny day. 🌞
Now you need some nice lattice our louvers on the road side of the box to help it blend in.

So sorry that big white mound is blocking your view in the background. I know some guys that have very specific skill sets that can remove that eyesore if you want?🤣Great video as usual!
Tough to beat that backdrop
Nice touch roofing the electric panel....if you are gonna build anything build it right. Looking forward to the rest of this build.

More to come!
If you are going through the trouble of ripping the bullnose off the boards its often a good idea to just buy bigger dimensional lumber auch as 2x12's for your rips because the lumber tends to be higher quality than 2x4's and you can choose something that will get you some quarter sawn grain for better stabilty long term.
DeWalt table saws come with a push stick. For someone who seems to be all PPE, apparently you like to risk your fingers 😉
Homemade shingles? Maybe ceramic or aluminum protected roof? Solar hot water storage/ heated flooring/ radiant wallls.
Next build will be an output table for the tablesaw.
Beautiful! I really do like that Mountain. Hand split Cedar shakes for the roof?
Cody, please use pushsticks on your tablesaw it only takes one mistake to get a kickback and the saw pulls your hand thru.
A+ Would Reccomend.
Let’s Go 👍👌😎
I get all the table saw comments and also practice safety at all time...funny though that all the table saw accidents i ever saw on youtube happened on the suggested standing spot...cant recall seeing one where the operator is where Cody stood...maybe the innocent bystander walking past the correct side of the saw...lol
Loving the series. I'm a finish carpenter by heart so I appreciate the 'extra steps' to make everything look better. Quick question: Why didn't you face screw the first set of rafter trusses to avoid the screws hitting each other when you installed the second side? Perhaps I missed it in the video but something you probably compensated for off camera.

Electricians are messy, but I've had to clean up after a lot of messy carpenters, too.

Very beautiful Proho, but why didn't proho turn chop saw around as to not get a faceful of Sawdust every cut?
It's hard not to be jealous
What’s up with the weird upload times? Any reason in particular? I’d be surprised if your engagement is higher during these late western hours
Wranglerstar, or chat how long do the batteries on the miter saw last? In the market soon for a new miter saw.
