Cold house, building that 1st fire, hearing the kindling pop & crack. That's the sound of home to me.

I totally agree that sound of cracking wood on fire is an awesome warm feeling and moment! Ive so enjoyed following you on your cabin build. Im 72 and have always wanted a cabin. I guess i live through you and everyone else who has built your cabins! Beautiful just beautiful Nik.

I believe regular television is in deep trouble. When you can watch a show like this on KZread with the high level of production and just wonderful feelings you get from watching Nick and his family. Truly this man is talented and we are lucky to have this media to watch them on

I said it before and will say it again...Nik, you are an "Old Soul". To see the joy in your eyes once the stove pipe was in and to hear you talk about it. More than just the fire was kindled that day. All the hard work was well worth it to have your first Christmas in the Log Cabin.

Волшебная ёлка, сказочный лес, очаровательные детки,жена красавица а муж просто настоящий мужчина, каких мало. Будьте счастливы вместе. Счастливого Рождества.❤🇧🇾👋

After all this time watching your journey, this video is such a blessing. You and your sweet family must be so proud of your accomplishment. A blessed 2022 to all.

Really appreciate your sharing your beautiful family, faith, and children innocence!! Sweet memories for y’all!! ✌️❤️🌴

Watching you and your beautiful family decorate the tree, I was blown away at the quality of the amazing workmanship you put into your home! Outstanding work and you should be very proud of yourself!

The many special moments that you share with your family are encapsulated in the darkened trees that make the base of this lovely home. Without your family, it would just be a building in the woods done by a craftsman for sure, its family that makes it so grand. What a great touch the tree telling a story as well of how nature is in charge. We only rearrange things for a while and then she takes it back. As I age, I realize I too shall be a part of the soil again. Your talents Nik are incredible as we see what you see from your standpoint. You are a great man in my books

У нас в Росси много снега в этом году, и это прекрасно. Всём привет, всём мира и счастья. Ник спасибо за хорошие ролики 😁

Hi Nik and family, what great moments you all have together. I really like your wood stove it looks fanrastic and it looks like it will throw a lot of heat out. Your tree is beautiful as well. You are a very lucky man to have such a family. Wish you all the luck in the new year.

Watching your children’s excitement decorating the tree is amazingly beautiful. Have a blessed 2022 knowing God is watching over you and your beautiful family.

Nobody beats the Italians! Beautiful job

It was heartwarming to see you and your family! Family time celebrating the birth of Jesus is the most special time of year to me, so much love in the air! Hearing the sounds of your daughter’s voice and excitement was a joy. And to see your son help you is grand. The tree is beautiful with moss added to bottom. When I saw baby Jesus placed under the tree that blessed me seeing He had a place in your log cabin. It didn’t surprise me when in came the wood stove, yes, a good quality stove like everything you do. I loved looking at your log walls during the video and seeing such beautiful work with those logs sealed together jam packed nice. And when I look at your face I see a man who gives life a good shot. Loved seeing the love and affection shown to your woman and you together as a family living life with fun together. I can’t wait to see your next video! I always look forward to seeing you! God bless you and all yours!

It’s really becoming a home now. I was glad to see a new video. I have watched from the beginning of the ground work to now putting up the Christmas tree. Still looking forward to seeing more. This has been a great journey so far. Keep up the great work Nik 🤙

I love the nature-filming, and the playing in the snow. 😊

Дай Бог вашей дочке счастья и здоровья,она у вас золото.Берегите её.

I cant describe how happy this video made me. God has truly blessed you with skill, ability, determination and will. He has blessed you with a wonderful family and a connection with nature. I was smiling the whole time. God bless you and your family. This truly made my day. So happy for you.

Смотрю и Восхищаюсь Вами👏👏👏

Восхитительно !👌👌👌 ПРОФЕССИОНАЛЬНО !! 👍👍👍

You have built a beautiful home for your beautiful family, I hope your descendents live in it for centuries to come.

Such a great scene Nik. The cabin lit only by the Christmas lights and the glow from the wood stove. That's a night you'll always remember. Thanks for sharing the moment.

Not only excellent craftsman skills, but the editing skills shown at the end of this video and throughout are very very good. Well done Nik on both.

Never clicked so fast! Happy to see a new video! And now the cabin keeps you guys warm!

You should have baked a Christmas goose and a figgy pudding, I have no idea what a figgy pudding is but it must be great. Being with the ones you love, having children around who still love the magic of Christmas is what really makes the season. That is an amazing looking heating and cooking piece of equipment.

How beautiful Nik, there is nothing more beautiful in life than fulfilling our dreams, you deserve everything good. Every time I watch your videos I learn many things. Congratulations to you and all your beautiful family. A hug

WOW, Nik, who needs big fancy wrapped gifts when you have it all! I especially like your intro and end shots of the outside, sunset, snow scenes with your family…and dog. Looks like something out of a movie scene. I have not been with you since the beginning but I’ve seen the last 10-12 episodes and I have to ask where you are located. What I especially see in this video is total and complete happiness, contentment, and loving and caring for life..your family. Congrats brother, you are an inspiration for every man.

Same here in South Texas, fellow watcher, no snow just cold weather dropping to the low 30 degrees Fahrenheit; but alas, not enough moisture to bring us any snow. I've also been watching Nik’a build from the beginning, and while I also would love to see more content from his channel I understand it must be tough. Nik has to balance his family, work, build the cabin, and edit/upload all the content he makes. That takes a lot of time, so, understandably, his releases are sparse. I look at it from the point of quality over quantity, sure he could release a bunch of crappy videos or he can release them slowly.and take his time making them the best quality possible. It's like a diamond, when you find it it just looks like an ordinary piece of crystal, but give that to a jeweler, and he will make a beautiful gem out of it. This is what Nik is giving us, only the best.

The world is a better place because of you Nik and your wonderful family. The Love, patience, and dedication that you have for all that you do and have is an absolute inspiration to us all. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing these moments with the rest of us.

Haha that dachshund he wants to go back. Haha. Looking back all the time. Haha love it! And he is a little cold

You guys have so much fun together in nature, teaching your children values. You are amazing. Well done.

Yes I also think you should have protection of the wood wall behind the stove. I don't know anything about it but I often see some stones in this place behind the stove in wood walls, so that must be a concern somehow.

Thanks so much for sharing all the video of the pursuit of your dreams. I started down this path in 1997 only to injure myself and have to give it up in 2001. You have such a wonderful family. I've noticed, at least it seems to me, that you all follow some strong spiritual beliefs. I love the black shirt you're wearing when you installed the stove. It also seemed to show your love and connection to nature in a couple of videos with your wife and kids. You are immensely blessed, and you share your blessings with the world. Can't ask for, or do more, than this. Thanks again, from The Rockies in Colorado, USA.

Your cinematography, and artistic touches with this video are amazing, The amount of shear physical work you put in is already off the charts, but your editing and video/sound processing skills are top notch. The music, and the absolute joy and love that you and your family have for each other and this special place. Thank you for sharing it with us, knowing there are still great and wonderful souls out there gives us all hope!!

Woodsman, carpenter, sculptor, engineer,artist,athlete,Father,dog whisperer,Mechanic, architect, husband,craftsman, film maker, teacher .....Thank you Nik.

Stove looks like it's the lightest piece of furniture so far . Looks good .

I love the stove and hope once you have built the backing and floor standing you can move it into place again. It's a bit much when the dining table weighs more than the stove though lol

I've been watching your videos since day one. What a beautiful cabin you've built for you and family. Thanks so much for sharing and God bless 🙏🏻🙏🏻

You have a nice family ,with the hard work you are finishing wonderful house

Have been watching from the start; you’re a strong man. The little girl has the knack for building. You’re making great family memories too. Thank you for sharing.

Lovely stove Nik, it’s nice that it offers the option to cook as well provide heat for the cabin. Cooking on it will be great on those cold winter days. I also love the way you decorated the base of your Christmas tree. May 2022 bring you and your family many wonderful times at the cabin. 🇨🇦

Congratulations, Nik! Your cabin now has a beating heart :-) And it was born on Christmas Day, just like baby Jesus :)) Watching this leaves me with a big smile on my face!

Talk about a picturesque traditional Christmas… Wow!

Dream movie come true!

You have been a source of inspiration for two years in my life now. I really see you as a role model in many regards, and it's a dream of mine to build a log cabin (it will be in Portugal). Your dedication, mindfulness, connection to nature but also your skills as a filmmaker are truly inspirational and unique on KZread. Wishing you and your family all the best and hope you will still take us with you on your building journey for a while.

Nic. This was absolutely one of the most beautiful videos that I have ever seen. You captured so many beautiful triumphs and lovely family memories how could one remain without JOY in their heart. It was pure Magic. Your nature shots were breathtaking!!! Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful moments with us. Cheers my Friend!!!!

The very best Christmas tree representation of the true meaning of Christmas, which is the birth of Jesus. Wonderful video. Great job on the very difficult installation of the new stove. Dealing with the room and all. Bravo my friend. The Bear 🐻 🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Your Christmas kiss was a gift indeed for us to witness. I'm always amazed with your strength Nik, but you are most powerful with the patience you show with teaching those kids. Your girlfriend knew that you would make a perfect partner to complete her family. Now, put a ring on her and start another "build"-a baby to add to your log cabin. Thank you for the journey!

what a beautiful family you have Nik. I wish all good things come your way. Happy New Year

Your cabin is looking very beautiful. I hope this is the first of generations of Christmas Days you and your family will enjoy this special place.

This episode just made an old man smile, love it!

Having the two special moments of Christmas and 1st fire will be imbedded in your children's soul forever.! The Kresh keeps the origin of Christmas remembered.

What a lovely video. A family that works and plays together with such love and tenderness, is a wholesome unity. Such emotional feelings warranted for working and fulfilling your dreams, and I appreciate that you shared over the years. What a fabulous ending for 2021, may 2022 be filled with blessings throughout. :)

Lovely Video, and with the Family around to share what you have achieved over the last three years , congratulations just shows how hard work brings its rewards, looking forward to more of same.

This episode gave me goosebumps more than once. Your time as a family lighting your first fire was a special moment to witness. I was especially moved when you finished everything in time for Christmas and used the occasion to put the finishing touches on a beautiful nativity scene in honor and celebration of Christ's birth. Finally, the scenes at the end showing the beauty of nature even in the harshness of winter. Nik this channel is truly a blessing to all of us that you are sharing your adventures with. Thank you for being such a beautiful man.

Wauw. The last 3 minutes was so beautiful

You guys rock. Great job. I can't wait for the final video with all the furniture in place. I know you still have a lot more to do and we're looking forward to watching all of them.

I'm so happy for you that you've gotten your wood stove and installed it. Wonderful scenery and so enjoyed your video. Stay safe, be careful, take it easy and keep warm and dry. Wishing all of you the very best in the coming years.

The snow videos! What beauty and magnificence!

That expression on your face when you joined the stovepipe to the chimney pipe was pretty much self explanatory 😁

Beautiful wood stove, the cabin is looking amazing. You’re a true artisan.

You made the best Christmas flog I've seen yet. I hope you had a great Christmas and I wish you a great 2022. And I hope I can enjoy your flogs many more times this year!!

I cried tears of joy watching this lovely touching video...so much hard work for so long...has finally paid off....such a beautiful video seeing your Christmas traditions and the snow scenes...so amazing...Thank-you for Sharing your beautiful life and family with us..you are so blessed....

@@AhmetMurati Yes, Nik needs to be very concerned. I build a fireplace and the brick in fount of the fireplace was laid on a wood subfloor Brick and concrete does reflect heat very good. But it retains heat and gets hot and hotter. It will burn the floor. A metal shield in back and below the stove with an air gap would well well. I was very close to burning my home down so I learned the hard way. Stone looks good but does very little to protect to wood. AIR is a great insulator.

Hi Nick, I've been following you for about two years, I really do not know how to say, you are a perfect human being and a man, if I say you are, it may not be a good word, but you are much more than perfect, you are extraordinary, you are exceptional, you have crossed all boundaries and standards in being good, I am from you I learned a lot. Congratulations to the family you have and to yourself for having such a kind and loving family, but I have a question for you, maybe many others have asked, how can you do all this hard work alone ??? From the first days you started to build this beautiful house, I watched all your clips, I saw how you walked in the coldest weather and alone, those very big and big trees in the mountains from a way far away from where you built them. After cutting with difficulty with a tractor alone, Also, if there is a mistake in this message, forgive me, because I wrote this text with the help of Google Translator. I wish the best for you and your family and especially that lovely little girl .

Nik, We had a wood burning stove back in the 80s, so I'm sure the technology/attributes have evolved but I'm curious if they suggest putting any kind of protective barrier between the back of the stove and the wall? Or the bottom of the stove and the floor?
