#logcabin #offgrid #metalroof
Settling back home from my log cabin tour and wildlife photography trip to Alaska, my first project is to install a new metal roof on the side porch and west side of my off grid log cabin in the Canadian wilderness, unfortunately replacing the shou sugi ban roof system in the process. Working alone has its challenges, especially when installing ice and water shield to the roof boards and handling large sheets of metal roofing as I carry them down the trail to the cabin and then lift them into place on the wood roof.
Cali is happy to see me return home from my trip and immediately gets back to her fetching duties, in the forest as well as out on the lake.

I’m having a coffee in Dubai Mall surrounded by Rolexes watching your video thinking “what have I done wrong with my life to feel at peace watching you working in the middle of a forest with your best friend for a company”. I envy your decision to switch your life so “dramatically” Shawn. Watching your videos never feels like a waste of time to me. In fact, if I ever managed to go back to the country side it would be thanks to you my friend. Thank you for sharing

Awesome Shawn...you are really living the dream! Good for you and Cali. Your family will know how blessed they are when they are there too. In sure they must already know thanks to you and God who has made your dreams come true! I love watching you saw and build, even the sounds are so crisp and true to the wilderness. I love hearing the crackle as the trees fall and as the branches snap. The fact that you enjoy what your doing so much and you are so good at it is all the more interesting to watch as you create so many beautiful things from nature. God bless you each and every new day🤗

Your comments on loving your home reminded me of a Wendell Berry poem called "Stay Home". I will wait here in the fields to see how well the rain brings on the grass. In the labor of the fields longer than a man’s life I am at home. Don’t come with me. You stay home too. I will be standing in the woods where the old trees move only with the wind and then with gravity. In the stillness of the trees I am at home. Don’t come with me. You stay home too. -Wendell Berry I'm not saying that it's not great to visit other places just like you did, but valuing one's own home and place has its own beauty too. Great reminder.

As I watched you work the membrane & metal on the roof I thought about each action & move you made. I built a small 480 square foot cabin twenty years ago. Now I have added porches on three sides. I have built several sheds & storage buildings. The satisfaction of doing it alone is good. I knew exactly when you wished for a helper. I am a carpenter's son who became an electrician & then a construction consultant. Retired now I have become a carpenter again. I work alone as you do. Building porches & replacing fascia boards on our two-story city house this summer. My wife thinks it funny that I watch other people do what I do as entertainment. Thanks for both of your channels, they motivate me to keep doing my projects in my mid-sixties.

Your own life’s journey has been a great inspiration to myself , I’m having a log cabin put at the end of our land somewhere to relax and to do my art workings , due to my injury I’m now going to retire from the health service . I’ve done done my bit in life looking after people for the past 38 years , ive also found your channel some place that I can retreat to when in need of pace and wanting to be on my own with nature.
