In this episode, we install our bug screen on the front porch and put up a birdfeeder. Work continues on the garden as we plant strawberries, herbs, rhubarb and other vegetables. We finally build a real floor on the extended portion of the cabin using treated lumber. We do some trail maintenance, and lastly we burn some old branches that have accumulated around the cabin.
Welcome to our channel! This Log Cabin Project is a dream that we have had for several years that we finally decided to make a reality. Our goal is to build a tiny log cabin from scratch using as much material from our land as possible. We are building it entirely using hand tools (no chainsaw!). This cabin will function fully off-grid and will be only accessible by foot. Subscribe to follow our journey!
We are learning a lot as we are doing (as always), so don't hesitate if you have any questions, it will be a pleasure to share tips and tricks, if possible.

You should put those branches in the water just like the geese have them to sit on....if you have a forest fire you may need to perch yourself on a wood island. It happened to my son that he had to lay in a creek for safety. If it had been longer I'm sure he would have liked to have the option of a dry place. Just a thought. Love your show.

Good for you! I have so many feeders here at home in Ottawa. My grand dog sits on my lap and we watch all the birds (and squirrels 😡 ). We wake up to two ducks most mornings and bunnies plus their babies now. Oh and two wild turkeys have adopted our street. They all happily enjoy the backyard

Yellow birds, wild geese, blue jays, but no sign of bear. Do you have bears where you live? Planting season I think is my favorite. That yellow gue you paint to preserve raw wood...what is that? I ask a lot of questions because I like to know and understand things. Your sharpening skills seem to be on par because you hacked through that fallen log in no time at all. Very impressed. Happy to see you building again you guys really do work as a team. It's funny you still wear jackets when I sit here sweating in 110*. Some say ""It's a dry heat."" but that doesn't make it any cooler. Awaiting for your next journey, Still luv ya!, Me southern AZ. (USA)

Je reviens pour compléter mon commentaire. Votre filmographie est très belle. Les bernaches qui se prélassent sur l’étang, les oiseaux, la jolie maisonnette pour qu’ils puissent manger, l’amélioration du balcon d’entrée. Bref tout fait plaisir à voir dont vous deux travaillant. Il me semble que je vous vois avec un chien; en le prenant tout petit, il s’attachera à vous et ne cherchera pas à s’enfuir. Je me demande aussi s’il est dans vos plans, une fois que vos constructions et votre jardin seront terminés, d’avoir un bébé 👶? Un bébé qui vivra au sein de la nature, comme vous. ❤

We’ve heard lavender is good, we’ve sprayed the cabin with it and it does seem to help. However, we did that during a dry week, so it might’ve just been that.. the best repellent, sadly, is long sleeves and pants and a bug hat.
