Installing a Wood Ceiling in My Off Grid Log Cabin

December 1 - I install charred pine boards on half of the vaulted ceiling in the off grid log cabin I'm building alone in the wilderness. For lunch, in a cast iron pan on the wood stove, I fry venison steaks in pork fat with onions.
On this channel, for at least the month of December, I'll be uploading almost daily videos showing more of what I do each day, and then at the end of the week, I condense those videos into one longer, but more interesting and relaxing video on my main channel, My Self Reliance. If you prefer the format on this channel, please let me know in the comments below, but also let me know if you think this ruins your viewing experience on the other channel each Friday.
I know the lighting is poor in this and a few other videos lately. I'm adjusting to a new camera but also working on lighting for filming inside the cabin. For daily living, I prefer the dark interior of the cabin, but I realize it doesn't make for the best filming conditions so I will fix this in future videos.
Thanks for watching and have a great day!

    Watching you work on the interior is not tedious Shawn, not in the slightest. Watching it progress and knowing the effort and skill that you put into it is amazing. Thank you for sharing with us. I love how you explain your plans and then explaining why or if they change. So engrossing and wholesome. Your roof is obviously very well insulated for the snow to stay put. Thanks again.

    This is the best part. When you start to build the cool finishing touches.

    I don’t believe the daily videos on this channel ruin the longer video on your other channel. I just appreciate watching anything you do. I also appreciated the nuggets of wisdom you use to share while building your other cabin.

    Like watching your smaller, more detailed videos during the week, along with your Friday videos, it feels like I'm there at the cabin with you.

    I love both formats - I love the daily updates AND then the longer relaxing one on Friday - easing me out of the week and into the weekend. I watch both, catching some elements I may not have picked up on first time round. Thank you.

    I'm from a small but very busy town in the UK and I just love watching you build your own home,ivr been watching since you was at the other cabin and my mind is blown by what you have done by yourself and no power tolls. Cali is a joy and thank you.

    I would love to see a pano video of the interior cabin from the entrance to get a perspective of just how much living space you have. Maybe one from each entrance?

    Pretty amazing how much better built this one is from the last one. Can’t wait to see the rest of your ideas come to life. Jim from Minneapolis

    Now I know why internal roofers always have an apprentice working alongside them, for the best part they are the humpers and lumpers. So every overhead job that needs completion has a standby pair of hands, just in case a nail or screw affixed into the wrong position, does not mean a trip to the local A&E Dept. Cheers Shawn and Cali "Who I'm sure said - Well if your cooking Dad then I am looking."
