That's terrific. I am guessing that giving her the gift of using the safety harness was the best way possible to celebrate Father's Day. Speaking of which, I was thinking of your Dad the other day and this, his first Fathers Day without your Mom. Just wanted to send some caring as we were able to celebrate with my husband and son in law, my daughter, my son and our grandkids. I hope your daughter's hugs provide a bit of comfort to your dad. Another great video - we look forward to seeing your family enjoying it together.

WELCOME back my friend... Glad to see you again. Hope and Pray all is well with your wife. Glad to see you in a safety harness. Know that they are a pain, but..like you said "better safe than sorry ".

The Outsider That’s good news my friend.

I do get notifications about your channel.. I get so pumped up knowing there is another episode coming. I am still so impressed by your skill as a craftsman, your caring as a husband , a Dad and as a God loving man...please give my best to your wife. I keep her in my prayers nightly.

I started watching your videos on building your log cabin on a budget many years after it was completed. I watch 3 to 4 videos at a time and come back later. It’s great fun to watch the project grow along with following your life’s adventures.

The beams look beautiful and straight. From the inside it’s gonna be a show stopper. You and Sr O have really come along way. I’m glad you and your dad get all the wonderful years of memories from the build. Be safe. God bless 🌲🪓🔦 PS Very, very happy to see the harness. We want you safe for years to come.

Just taken a look back at the build and I have been following for at least 4 years. I watch all the updates then don't watch anything for months then binge watch to catch up. It's crazy how many times it's been winter again at the build, time flies!

Slow and steady wins the day. Solid building techniques too. So satisfying to see your progress on the roof.

Thank you for sharing this video. I appreciate your videography as well as all of the behind scenes views and educational commentary. Trusting that your daughter and bride are well. It was great seeing your dad in this episode too. Wishing you and your family Peace, health and happiness as the pandemic continues to evolve and spread. Peace brother,

Safety first good for you. Love your cabin and the peace of watching you and your Dad build. May God keep his healing arms around your wife. Blessings to all. 🙂🇺🇸

Amen. Thank you sister.

Thanks for making up a list, it makes it much easier to follow and not miss anything - also for those who are building like kind of buildings, to go back and learn how to do it from your episodes. I enjoy your work.

'Er Indoors died from dementia 2 weeks ago after a 10 year decline. Your videos have helped me through some very tough times with her. Ive followed your build from the start and whilst I have absolutely no intention of building a cabin I have thoroughly enjoyed watching you build yours. I am amazed at the fine and accurate work you can achieve with a chain saw. Thanks and God bless you

I’m really thankful that you got the safety harness, please use it at all times you are up high. God Bless, Take Care, and Be Safe!!!

I am so inspired when I see videos like this. I love working with wood, im a woodworker myself but working in nature with wood is a true art that I think has been long forgotten. Ty for taking the time to make our lives just that much better by watching these videos. Also thank ur wife and daughter from me. Your the man...

It has been around five or so years. U have done an amazing job! You and your Dad, God bless you and yours, a friend.

Glad to see you working safe now, especially when working alone. A dangerous part of life is when you are young, strong and agile, you feel invincible. When you think about the family that loves and depends on you, it suddenly hits you how devastated their lives would be if you were injured or worse. All a part of the responsibility of family life young man! God bless you and your family!

I was so happy to see that you purchased a harness to protect yourself. I was concerned many times. I appreciate you as a husband and father as I understand how hard it is to look after your family day in and out, so having this cabin for a break from your normal routine is very good for your mind and soul. My husband looks after me and although I know it is hard on him he doesn’t complain and still smiles and jokes with me. We are retired now which I think makes caring for our partner a little easier to bear, than when you are young, but love is a wonderful thing to give us the endurance to last the years. I pray your wife has many good days ahead and that her health continues to improve with time. God bless you and your family. Please stay safe and strong.

Hi I love watching you build your cabin it gives a sense of peace .I know illness as I have been lived with it all my life cancer has been part of it. BUT love and kindness has brought me through and hopefully out the other end. It is nice watching the cabin change shape going through the seasons ... We are given these fights to make us stronger to build the mind may the sun shine on your family and keep warmth in your heart from a women in England UK

You are really wonderful. Not to mention technology The spiritual strength to do it alone is also great. I respect you.

Looks amazing! 20:18 nice stop Outsider! Great decision on the safety harness. Hope all is well with your family. So nice to see your father. Take care and God bless

As a retired Certified Safety Professional I appreciate your presentation to the world on fall protection safety. I personally had several employees saved by proper fall protection. As a suggestion twin retractable lanyards (6ft) are available and you may find those to be much less in your way while working plus they can always be kept tight against your anchorage point which will give you a greater security. Beautiful build I love your show! Marc, Ohio USA

That's some beautiful footage today. With the birds chirping, the trees are all lush and leafed out, the sun is shining. Not a bad place to be outside working hard.

THANK YOU for getting the harness! I've been freaking out watching you on that roof. Love this channel and God Bless.

I am so glad you got the harness as I was becoming quite rattled watching. Used harnesses all my working life. And I'm sure your beloved was deeply relieved.

So glad you got a harness! A friend of mine was putting on a roof without a harness back in his 20's and fell off. He suffered several broken bones and a crushed pelvis and they had to put metal plates in. He has been suffering ever since and now is in his late 50's and hating Life.

Thank you for getting the safety harness, i feel a lot better about your survival during this build now. I love the methodical logical way you approach this process. Thank you for sharing this part of your life with you. I appreciate it very much. Looking forward to the rest of this awesome build. Angry Old HIppie Hermit Peace.

Longtime watcher: my only comment is to use more nails, fewer screws. You'd be surprised how easily those cheap gold zinc screws break off. They're quite brittle. For longevity in your use, hard to beat hot-dipped galvanized 12-16d nails. Fastenings in general is something I've felt you're a bit lacking on, specifically your rafter to roof beam connections, and now sheathing to rafters. Screws in general are actually very brittle (structural screws excepted). I've learned not to rely on cheap/deck screws in shear applications where they can fail quite abruptly. Nails are stronger, better in shear and tend to fail elastically. The additional galvanization and diameter will help with longevity as well, and dealing with moisture/rust. Keep up the good work.

@ralfish2008

4 жыл бұрын

Have to sort of agree, in terms of more connections: the rafters need to have at least two nails or sctructural screws at each point and each sheathing board should have 3 nails in each spot. Use nails on the sheathing as they are much cheaper than the screws, but either use structural screws or spikes for the rafters. Structural screws are great and now rated but expensive compared to nails..while galvanized nails are superior to bright finish nails for holding power and corrosion they arent necessary unless exposed to the weather.

Wow...some those shots...precarious....glad you have a harness now! The place is really shaping up!

oh, man. what a great upload for my saturday. love the camera work. your place is looking so solid.

Ditto to all that has been said here. I have watched your videos from the beginning, admire your agility, precision, skills on all levels, AND the way you accomplish such professional and artistic videos ! I often think " now how did he get THAT view"... Great job with all you do, God Bless...

Hi, l am glad you got the safety harness, thanks for the playlist l will have fun watching the build all over again, god bless you and your family.

Good to see you back, I realy hope and pray all is well with your wife ❤️

Is the cabin growing on you...or what is it.... You are both looking stronger, wiser and more beautiful day by day. Wise advice from your lovely wife, and wise decision of yours to follow it... I too got scared at time watching you jumping like an agile squirrel on those wet logs on a rainy day. God bless you, your wife, little girl and dad. You are all awesome, inspirational and a sure sign of hope and humanity in this world that seem at times so harsh until, like you, we focus on and do what’s good and beautiful and keep evils thoughts and peoples at bay. Keep up the good work, the cabin looks already awesome. Thanks for being that beacon of goodness to so many of us. Pierre from tiny Switzerland

I'm so happy you got the harness. My son used to be an ironworker, working high steel. One day he had a fall, he got lucky and was able to grab a cable on the way down, luckily wearing leather gloves. He ended up swinging like a pendulum halfway between floors. He yanked his back and was bruised up his thighs where he was hitting against the floor level. He was pulled up and only off work for a few weeks. It could have been so much worse. Luckily I didn't hear about it until after. Take care and stay safe.

Here in Belgium when we build a house or cabine in your case ,as we reach the highest point of the roof in the corner of the rafters , we attached in the corner a Fresh branch whit fresh green leaves that we cut from a tree in the area. It stands upright,and we do that so that the house or cabine would be blessed and have a peaceful and long life for itself and al the occupant whit in it . And leave it for a week ore tree.

This must be the same in most of Europe, at least in the more Germany influenced countries. In Slovenia, we do the same, but always with a top of a spruce tree.

it is such a blessing to watch someone creating something in a beautiful place instead of throwing bricks through windows in a dirty city. its looking great! and im glad you got that harness!

This seriously should be on Netflix. Im 100% sure it would be a hit :]

So much fun to watch....even relaxing. LOVE that you have no irritating background music like others.

i forgot how much more work it is working on a house by yourself. having a second person cutting and passing up materials makes it so much easier. looks great....

I view many online private construction projects where safety is often overlooked. Falls from heights are common in the construction sector, particularly in residential housing. As a member of the Prevention Council of the Ministry of Labour Immigration and Skills Development I applaud your decision to use a safety harness. There are many other tasks involved in carrying out such projects, whether it be using chain saws or sawmills that also present safety risks. You set a good example for others who view your channel.

I won't lie, the GoPro on your head shows things in such a perspective that I was on the edge of my seat. Thought you were gonna fall for sure. I watch another YT channel by a young man in Russia. He uses a short army shovel to peel the bark off of trees. The bark just slides off like butter...maybe you could try? The harness was such a good idea...Smart Wife you have there (hope her health is stable). I realized I was holding my breath when you are up that high. So excited to see the roof closed to being finished. I have watched you since the beginning and it has been one of my favorite pastimes. I like to snack or have tea ready before I hit play. I Hope Dad is doing well...though he misses his life companion. God Bless and Keep Safe.

I have been watching all of your videos and your cabin is looking great. Please know that we are praying for Mrs. Outsider. I know first hand what it is like to battle chronic kidney disease. Your wife is an inspiration and her story has helped me take one day at a time. God bless you and your family. BTW glad you got that safety harness. 🙂

Going up nicely! Take care, work safe, I hope all is well with you and yours!

As an experienced tree trimmer, using a saddle and being tied in 100% was always the safest feeling. Good you made the decision for safety. Thanks for the videos, nice looking cabin.

been a carpenter most of my life and always relied on my strength and ability , walked trusses and joists freely and use tree stands 20' up while bow hunting. Will be 65 next month and this year I got a harness and will tie off for the first time. Sooner or later we gotta change the way we do things

Beautiful production as always, I love the Ad integration, and the tip on finishing the cut without getting the saw stuck was something I had never seen before. Thank You.

Reading the comments, looks like nearly all of us have been worried about your safety. Great progress for one episode, thanks. Prayers to you and your family.

Thank-you for being safe! The roof looks great and I've been watching since the very early days of harvesting the logs and every video has been worth the wait. You and your dad are always a pleasure to watch as you are so companionable and respectful of each other.

Glad you got a harness especially at this pt in the build. You have had good handholds up to now since the sheathing removes most of them.

20:24 is exactly why you needed that harness! it could have gone badly, but thank goodness it didn't! I'll keep you in my prayers.

I didn't think about a safety harness until this video, at the beginning, before you even mentioned it. It surprised me, when, by about halfway through the episode, you got one. So cool.

I hope your family is doing well. Your wife's a very special person and is facing the challenges of her life is inspirational.

Hi I have just subscribed to your channel and have to say you have such a warm and caring persona, I feel so calm when watching/listening to you. You have been through a lot but have stayed strong. May you and your family be blessed with health and happiness in your futures. respect from Wales uk

Why not anchor a zip line between the trees going across the build? Having your harness secured behind and above you would make it less intrusive, and allow you to easily transition back and fourth across your structure. Could also be a moveable anchor point for your "comealong" pulley. Worth a thought.

I hadn't said that you might need a safety harnis, but I wanted you to. Thank you!! Your needed to be a husband and father! God bless!!

Looking fantastic, glad to see you keeping safe.

Incredible and dumbfounded by your resolve and skill , your family must be sooo proud of you . yes be safe!

I have been following you since day one on building this cabin. Felt like just yesterday when you started to measure the foundation of the cabin.. Well done. You have come along way!.

Love how you did the board to access side to side rather than up & down makes work faster love this channel...

Good timing on the harness, I’d say crawling around on the 45 deg roof is probably when you need it the most.

Outstanding Brother. Its a Good Day to Celebrate !! Every Day is one Big Step Closer to Living A Dream !! Peace

Thanks for buying the safety harness, you should've used it earlier but I'm glad you still got one

Thanks for wearing your PPE. The safety glasses are the most important. No one can see out of a glass eye. Your wife, daughter, father, and grandparents all depend on you now. Don't let them down by not working safely. Love and prayers to all of your clan.

Glad to see you got that safety harness brother. Stay safe and God bless.

Funny you mention binge watching, your playlist is what I have watched constantly for a few weeks, nearly at current day. Love your work

You are one smart man, prayers go to the family and a safe build.

Oh, so much more enjoyable to watch you up on the roof working with a harness!!! 😃 So impressive on how much he you got done on your own. You and your father are quit the builders! Love your channel. Peace and good fortune and good health to you and your family.

I AM VERY HAPPY YOU FINALLY HAVE A HARNESS!!!!!!!! Yes they are a pain to deal with, but you get used to it in a very short time, and considering how short of a time it takes for an accident to happen, having a proper fall arrest harness like the one you have, it takes a bit longer than a fall does, to change the outcome for the better. Thank You for getting the harness!!!!!!!!!! WOW, it's amazing how 1/2 of the Sheathing makes the cabin look more like a home and less like your playing Jenga in the woods. It's truly great to see the roof finally coming to its finishing, it's been a long time coming. I started watching the channel when you were adding the course under the window frames, and unless I'm wrong I think you said then that it was over a year at that point since you started the build? So I think it's now been over 3 years since you started the build of the cabin??? The roof has been a long time coming!!!!! Great to see it finally coming to fruition. Hopefully you'll be able to move in just before the first snow or shortly thereafter. Peace, Happiness, Love and Laughter, Keep Safe All, -Matt

I applaud you! For thinking of your family! You are a wise young man. What would your wife and daughter do without you!?? I shudder to think. As you said, " it only takes one mistake" there are no do overs when it comes to falls! Keep up the great job!

Thanks for the recent episode. I truly enjoy all of your videos. Keep up the great work. God bless you and your family. Stay safe and healthy.

Safety harness is good. I fell off my roof 15 feet onto concrete. I have been out of work since. You never plan to get hurt, but that is why they are called accidents. Stay safe.

As an arborist (since the 1980s) I believe in safety equipment. So you have done a good thing.

So nice to see the planks going on the roof. A long road you have paved but what a wonderful job you are doing. Also good news on the the harness! Thanks for sharing.

Finally! So glad you got the harness! So important for you and your family.

I really enjoy your videos. I have learned a lot from you. I worked in the timber industry for a number of years. I ran a 52inch head saw . I've cut a lot of post ang beam from a variety of different trees. I have cut out a house once . It took a lot of trees, mostly oak. But some red cedar. 1500 square foot of living space. Half of the house was clear span living space . Keep the videos coming .

Damn man... I'm proud of the work you've done thusfar FOR YOU. Closing it in is such an achievement. I'm sure it'll be a weight off your shoulders. Cant wait til next episode.

GREAT video! So glad you are using a safety harness. My wife and I sure love your content. We pray you and your family are doing well. Greetings from our log cabin in the arrowhead of MN.

Whoa! Thats crazy how the bark just peels off. Keep up the great work! Love watching you build stuff.

I've had 2 friends die from falls from roofs. I'm so glad to see you in safety gear. Nothing is as slow as a broken neck. The cabin is looking great. Hope your Mrs is feeling better. Love and prayers for your family.

I certainly can understand how difficult a 45* (12 on 12) pitch roof is to be on. My shed looked to have too flat of a roof with a 4 on 12 pitch when I drew it up so I went with a 6 on 12 (22.5*) and while being narrow added to the difficulty of not giving you room to stand/work (about 5’ 4” each side with eaves) it was still too steep to sit while working and not slide off. Much respect to you working on a steep roof like that.

I live in the suburbs of Cincinnati Ohio, not many people can do what you have accomplished! Spending time with your Dad is great, parents don't live 4ever, spend time wisely. Nature has always taken care of us humans.

Once the rafters went up and the sheathing, presto it's looking like a cabin, nice job.

Yes I'm sure happy you got a safety harness, man the Cabin is looking awesome stay safe take care my friend go bless

Looking great, man. And, smart move to protect yourself... you want to be able to enjoy that cabin for years to come with your family.

Just got this latest post. I have an idea. I am glad to see you got a harness. You need to read this, I think it will help. Go to the end of your roof and at the center posts on both ends install you a pole on each end then attach a cable between the two ends, you can use that cable to attach your harness as soon as you get on the roof and it will run from one end to another. Hope this helps. My Momma and me are all the way in SE KY and watch you vids regularly, we are amazed at how well you do in your build and how much you are in love with your wife and family. We both hope all is well with her, and our prayers are with you both. Until next time, be safe and God Bless you all.
