Installing a Wood Floor and a Log Truss for the Porch Roof, Off Grid Log Cabin Build Alone, Ep 24

Рет қаралды 781,869

Жыл бұрын

This is such a rewarding stage of the log cabin build and homestead development! Now that the cabin is dried in, I'm working on interior elements, such as moving in an antique icebox, installing a pine wood floor, insulating the interior walls and ceiling and more. This week, in addition to the interior work, I scribe and fit the four lower posts on the porch that hold up the roof overhang and then install the three shorter posts that support the two purlins and the ridge log. The only things left to do on the exterior of the log portion of the cabin is to board the ceiling overhangs on all for sides (soffit), trim the windows and doors and seal the log joints before winter.
Between working on the cabin, I'm busy bringing in the harvest, especially the potatoes, as the temperatures drop to a low of 2C this week. I am storing vegetables in the root cellar, the basement of the cabin, and before December, I have to finish insulating and boarding the walls and ceiling to protect the food from freezing.
Not shown in this video, but will be in next week's video, is the cladding of the exterior of the breezeway with horizontal pine boards and sealant. Once that is finished, I am installing doors on the porch side and the breezeway entrance to the outdoor kitchen and I'll be completely weather tight before the end of September, well before our winter really gets started in early November.
For more information on what I am doing this week on the homestead, tune in to my other channels where I explain what I'm doing. • Building an Off Grid L...

Love your motivation and work ethic, your an inspiration to many on how to be self reliant.

It’s so impressive how this man changed his life. I bet he’s very happy. For real this guy is a tough man, I bet he could chew up nails and spit out bullets. It’s just ridiculous.

I watched you build your last cabin, your outhouse, your pizza oven your wood storage your first rough wooden chair your workouts, your small lean too where you cook your meals looking out at the spring that winds through your land. I watched you build your own house your sauna. Billboards put on the thickest, sturdiest roof I've ever seen. But I was truly truly moved today when it began to shower outside of your latest cabin, and to think you built that huge structure by hand and it's shielding you from the rain. All closed in, I was moved!

It seemed like a significant moment Shawn when the block and tackle were taken down after the last vertical beam was in to support the porch roof. Even the careful positioning of the canned goods to the ice box seemed like a moving-in gesture. I know so much has still to be done - but so much has been done and for we who watch, we enjoyed the moments in this vid that were so significant. Well done on a fantastic amount of work. The potato harvest was good but so too was the evidence of soil on that piece of land. So good to share this journey with you in the comfort of our own homes.

I love seeing Callie’s tail held as banner flashing through the grasses; you enjoying a home cook meal on the porch of your cabin, and the beautiful colors of fall heralding a new change. It’s hard to believe the winter toil you had with the cabin; the snow, the ice buildup on the exposed base of the cabin! Wow! You have come a long way in a short amount of time. I love you videos.

And in just a few short weeks we will enjoy Cali romping through the snow ❄ 🐕🥰

Oh WOW........ At roughly 10 minutes into the video, that sunrise was absolutely amazingly out of this world. So incredibly beautiful. Your skills in woodwork and your craft is 1 thing, but your cinematography is something else. STUNNING.

Z wielką przyjemnością oglądam Twoje postępy! Jesteś niesamowity ! Widać już jesień za progiem domu a przed Toba jeszcze mnóstwo pracy by bezpiecznie spędzić zimę! Powodzenia. U nas (w Polsce) zima zaczyna się również już w listopadzie, co będzie w tym sezonie tylko Pan Bóg raczy wiedzieć czy zamarzniemy, czy pomrzemy z głodu! Niech wszystkich ludzi Pan Bóg ma w swojej opiece i przeprowadzi nas bezpiecznie przez zimę! Pozdrawiam.😀😀

Que Deus proteja vcs na Polônia e ilumine os pensamentos dos chefes de Estado para acabar com essa guerra estúpida e cruel. Abraço aqui do Brasil

This video is at the real interesting stage where you start to work on the inside - NOT that any of the previous videos were not interesting, they were!! Every Friday I look forward to your videos, Shawn and I am really glad to watch the ones that you explain everything that you are doing.

SHAWN & OUR CALI you are making this into a GRAND Cabin !!! Love the items that you place around into the cabin and the sunsets are AWESOME !!! I keep on watching remembering how it was to feel the wood under my hands and fingertips !!! The chairs on the Porch are like the ones I made in Colorado for the table in the dining room and for the porch for my self to sit and sleep in !!!
