We are excited to do some sawmilling on location at the cabin this fall to prepare our exterior siding for this spring! There are endless things to do and the wood stove is on my mind to finish, though I discovered a broken ear on the flu collar which is proprietary and also cast. So more to come on that fix. Also I acquired a DeWalt Cordless limbing saw that I would love to do a review video on as I clean up some tree bases at the mountain! Thank you, as always for checking out my channel!

I loved your quote, "I'd rather know someone that can build a house than someone with a bunch a pieces of paper on the wall", or however you put it. Great build, mate. Absolutely fantastic.

We built our house on four acres years ago we finally sold it . Where both a little older I’am 71 and my husband is 69 we purchased a lot in a small town. The adventure of building our retirement home is exciting. We drew up our plans a year ago after my husband had his cancer surgery so we decided it was time to take on the last building project a small two bedroom 1360 sq ft house with a large garage. My husband wants a shop to work on our motorcycles. Our plan is to start in February if every things go well.

A tip for your ‘layout’ phase. Screw the bearers together (including triangular bracing) and lay it where you want the structure. Use markup paint to describe your footings. Move the bearer frame slightly off to expose each footing a dig them out. When you are ready to pour the concrete, sit the bearer frame back over the holes, using scrap 2x4s to hold it level with the stirrups into the holes ( I usually weld the stirrups onto a small rebar cage and coat liberally with cold-galv paint). Then just pour the concrete, use a jigsaw or other vibrating or oscillating tool onto the stirrup to vibrate the concrete as you go.

Great overview of your cabin. Really enjoyed watching it progress. Thanks for sharing and inspiring others. 👍

Awesome job, thoroughly enjoyed your build. More doing and less talking is an excellent way to do it. Too many DIYers tend to try and dazzle their audience with some semblance of know-how with their incessant verbal babble about what they are doing, how they are doing, and their attempt at leaving their audience with the notion that they are experienced. So good to watch someone who has experience building. Sometimes it hurts my brain to watch struggling DIYers who have no idea what they are doing. Personally, I have a bit more than 30 years of building experience, 10 years in the field building apartment buildings and some commercial; 21 years in an Architect firm designing and drafting commercial properties.

I can build one myself cheaper, Yes I can but I can't build one for much cheaper plus it's more convient, I can have one put in place and literally sleep in that night and continue to sleep in while I finish it out, i don't have to wait for the weather to get in dried in, it comes dried in.

I think because of the digging and the concrete, it would be about a 2 week straight project if you could condense it and you were really moving. All in, just south of 5K, but these are used windows, doors, self- milled beams and stairs, a lot of penny pinching.

I know some people with paper on a wall and their ok but in bad situation they would be the last ones I would go to. The roof also kept me thinking all the time. Now that it's done I can say that was the worst part of the build so far. Almost fell off twice. An old guy did give me a tip about how to walk on the metal without sliding. He said spray soda on the panels when it dries its sticky. That worked great on the 9 12 pitch and the first rain washed it off.

I can definitely see where you are coming from Bengt. And to do what you are saying would have been much easier, not having to work around so many trees. But this is supposed to be a different experience for me and my family than a traditional home. I want it IN the woods, not surrounded by trees 50' away. If a fire even gets close to this area, the cabin is just gone. If a tree falls, well shoot, I mean they are all pretty darn healthy. But since I love to build cabins - if it is my fate to lose this one, we will have a bunch of new videos of the next build. : )
