Which floorplan are you building?

Aka, the dog house

On the east coast we put the “v” detail down so it becomes the ceiling, loft floor would be flat. Interesting differences between the west and east coasts.

Ya put the planks upside down!! Lol sweeping all the gooves will be fun. I hope you see this in time.

I don’t think I would cut the over hang off on the flooring TNG. Not until you put up the banister. You find you like that over hang as a decorative shelf on the outside of the banister.

We put the grooves down to the ceiling in my parents house. I like it better that way, and no dirt and dust in the divots. What a beautiful building. It will last forever.

Also going to say the same. Our timberframe home as this for all our floors and the finished ceiling with the grooves down is the way we went.

You taught me a good lesson here Cody, don’t waste time fretting about the mistake or trying to find another way around, just back up and fix it right. It’s faster and simpler. :)

I admire that you showed the hiccup. Respectable

Yea that content that earns money and really doesn't take away from his reputation at all... I mean respect how could one put that on the internet.

Just saying that as a filthy East Coast carpenter of 40 years, you installed them upside down with those fancy tools.

Filthy Midwest carpenter here agrees... Lol.

I despise do overs. My dad was a contractor and I had the unfortunate experience of being forced to work with him. If I screwed up it was hell and a mandatory do over.

Not regarded as do overs, should already expect this. 😊

Yup! My Drill Sargent, i mean Boss is like that! He even blows up on you for no reason or because of something someone else did!

I bet the smell working in that cabin is absolutely wonderful. Nice work. Cheers.

Just an observation, wouldn't you want the smooth side up for the floor and the beveled side down for the ceiling? just looked to me like you installed them upside down.

They are but taking them off the second time is the west coast way

Chamfered side might be better facing down. I only know this because I did the same thing installing a similar product but realized too late and was unable to fix it 😅

Right, because now you'll have to try and sweep or vacuum in the channels between each board. Smooth side should have been up

The grooves are just decorative, they are meant to be seen from the underside or on your wall. If you are using them as flooring then the flat side always goes uppermost because it simplifies cleaning, a shame Mrs W didn't notice in time because you wouldn't have realised the issue. I hope just like the misaligned power panel that you'll correct this 🙂

Silly west coast man used a chain saw for a finish kerf. The guy who played with dove tail saws just a few years ago.

Rebuilt a log home over about 8 years. Loved that house. Silkens/PG makes a beautiful exterior stain for log homes and hold up against the PNW weather brilliantly. Best of luck and cool cabin!

I really, really dislike our log home. It is beautiful and cozy, but everything eats it. It’s going to be a lifetime chore chasing the critters that want to gobble up my home. The settling has opened up cracks in the logs that need to regularly be chinked. Wood roaches are the worst. We finally got ahold on the rodent problem, but I expect to have to replace the poison in the crawl space regularly, even though it’s supposedly “sealed.” We never had anything like this at our slab traditional built house. Nothing got in that sucker. Even though I love this property I find it very hard to be okay with staying here forever. I know how much money is going to be thrown away every year between the pest control, chinking, and refinishing the logs every seven to ten years. The upkeep is just more money than I want to constantly spend.

V groove goes down not facing up

Wouls have it been eaisier to plane down one of the planks to fit in the groove? Part of my thinking, is you only have one chance with the chainsaw 😂

Whoever has to sweep that 2nd story is gunna wish you flipped those boards the other way

Love it brother. Thank you for sharing. I will probably buy this for my shop. Looks really good. Keep up the good work. God Bless

Deck boards look upside down

may be for the esthetics form below? Donno. haa, give him an out there.

Love these types of vids . Nice work! 👌 I’m a carpenter in Australia and seeing a log cabin like this is really cool

I love that you show when you make a mistake, handle it and go on with the project. Beautiful cabin.

Cody straight up looking like a village person…

WoW looking really good Cody, the selected wood is beautiful, and floor and ceiling in one board is fantastic. Your place reminds me of wintertime, and a good bowl of Texas Chili yumm.. Like the video as always - keep them coming as you can.. thanks ❤💯🙏

I would run the ladder up where it's easy to reach the upstairs light switch.

Better to mess up 1/2 way than when you've finished. Always an inspiration to see your response to the mess-ups. Keep going, my friend.

I always enjoy your videos, they make me think about and appreciate life. Thank you!

Love these cabin videos! Keep them coming!

Project is coming along nicely!

OH wow that little cabin is looking beautiful! good job!

Cody, you may want to consider using BX(sheilded) cable and leaving the Romex for another project. Romex can be chewed by Rodents and can get a bit warm for dry timber making your cabin a giant tinderbox. Just a suggestion. Here in NYC BX cable is required because of rats. I may be an eastcoast sh-thouse handyman but i know a few things because here, an error in judgment can be deadly for all who live above, below, and all sides of the job site. That is an on comming conflict that can certainly be avoided.

Love the tool list at the end. Nice touch

The roof fall air hose snafu/commentary had me rolling! Looks like the top side has grooves between the boards and the underside is flush perhaps?

Fantastic reaction! Just more work. its going to be done might as well do it right! Nice to show the humility of imperfection.

Very impressive ! Prayers !!! God Bless!!!

Appreciate that you share so much of your life with us Cody. Thank you for the video

High ceilings are the most important factor to making a house feel big and not claustrophobic. 8'3" is a pretty good height for practicality.

Awesome video! Thanks for sharing!

Looks great

Love your honesty and hard work brother. Safe travels

1334. Tomorrow we'll be able to start taking that floor up to do it correctly

The floor in the loft looks great. That sucks you had to remove some of it to run the wiring. there is lots of height in the loft and on the main floor . Mrs W always bring you the best looking meals Cant wait to see the finished Cabin. have you thought about doing a video on what it takes to make the cabin from the designing it to cutting the logs and laying it out in the yard to building it on the lot.

Tucking the floor under the walls - looks great!

looks awesome!

Great work you are doing a fantastic job....greeting from Wicklow Ireland 👍

The amount of flex in that chain saw while its idling on the ground was crazy. Very cool to see.

Looking good 👍

Beautiful

The wood and everything is beautiful. Hope y’all have a great day. Love y’all God bless.❤️

Good to see you finally had something to use your wood mill and all the other toyls for, cant wait to see how you hand built this from trees

Looks great!

Very cool. I'm working on a cabin house also

The spot where you put the wooden ladder seems ideal if you want to keep it out of the way. Thanks for sharing Mr. W.

You should have snapped 2 chalk lines, to form a T to verify your assumed lines were correct.

You never seizes to amaze me . Always doing something different , and getting it done . Good on you

We used the same decking for the second floor of my childhood log home. It was awesome, but milled incorrectly so they didn't meet up properly when we put them together, resulting in an uneven surface between each board on the topside. It got carpeted, so you don't see it now, but looks great from below.

Really enjoying the series! It’s exciting watching the build coming together, it looks great! Probably a silly question….will the exterior of the cabin need treated at some point or is it good as is?

Looks so good! Loving it

I'm building a new homestead and appreciate those "oh crap" moments. They teach us patience and to think ahead, lol.

Wow…beautiful cabin Cody. The do overs was worth it. Very comfortable ❤

Starting with a power saw ! Having the right tools to complete any job allows for the work to be carried out with less frustration and great efficiency and confidence in quality over all work. A craftsman is a part of his or her toolbox.. Joe from California

That decking is beautiful. Nice job.

School boy error with the cables there mate but you have done a great job brother. We don't see this in the UK so it's great to watch 👍👍👍

It’s looking great.!!!

Well done

That flooring came out very nice.

great job on the cabin

you are still as great as ever and i love the finish on the floor and the look from underneath and much love from SWEDEN

The cabin is looking fantastic!

That wall cut out, logs “get compacted trough the years, so your dec probably will get all weight of upper part of building and warp. There should be some movement space for logs to settle down

Cordless Milwaukee fuel are the first cordless tools I bought and I love them. I like that you can hit a button and see the charge before you climb the ladder LOL

That's turning out beautifully.

Beautiful cabin.

My father is an alcoholic. We just never had those crucial bonding moments that a father and son NEED growing up. It's videos like these that, not only inspire me, but they offer a doorway into those critical moments that people like me never got to experience as a young man. Thanks.

Bravo!

Everything is looking beautiful.

I’ve always said if you have to jump out of plane without a parachute I’d want an extension cord or a hose because the cord or hose will get tangled up on something before I hit the ground.

CODY! THAT IS BEAUTIFUL AND NICE PLACE TO BE!!👌👍☺️✌️🙏🌻☀️

Love this project. Very cool.

Steady hand needed for the chainsaw trimming. Floor/ ceiling looks great and strong!

Really nice looking decking.

Man that’s a sweet log cabin. Great job 👍

Repeats and all, one sweet looking project!

The looks awesome. I want one now

I have that same little Husk chainsaw. Love that little thing

Beautiful craftsmanship! Thanks for sharing your experience and life’s adventures.. I still have great memories of the very beginning like when you got jack , his first Axe I’ve been a fan all these years, I’m just a fan of your art .. ( the blessed way of gods true lifestyle ) Joe the tree guy.

It's absolutely beautiful. I'd say I'm jealous, but I'm really just very happy for you. I think you've earned it! You got with with that video title! When I saw you take the chainsaw to the wall I physically cringed! 😬

Great job and GOD bless you and your whole family

Nice video!

I don't know your set up plans but I like the stairs in the corner looked good

Interesting. You are excited. I have watched you for about 5 years. Taught me a lot! It’s funny you don’t like electric very much. I guess I don’t like woodworking details very much. Anyways- It’s cool to see you happy with what ur doing. I think that’s the secret to life. Go get em. And yes. Ur always in my prayers.

Looks really nice. Best regards from Denmark.

Those logs are beautiful

I have to point this out but you installed that T@G upside down 🙃. I’ve milled and installed countless board feet of T@G and with that chamfer being as big as it is will be a dirt collector for a floor. Now there are a million ways to skin a cat as it were so I won’t hold it against you.😊 The only time Ive have seen a chamfer up like that is on prefinished engineered flooring. With just the tiniest bevel. But no harm still looks wonderful and the chances of you ever having to resand and finish that loft flooring are slim to none. P.S Great work with the chainsaw, A straight cut freehand is hard enough but with a chainsaw, that shows talent.

The airline hooked on the tool belt, “I couldn’t do that if i tried…” 😂

Looks very nice.

That is one cool cabin.😌

Very satisfying video

Looking good Cody

Where can I get that t&g decking? Love the red of the Doug fir.
