Not playing with fire til you're eating gas station burritos. That's when you know you're living!

That framing nailer has to be the best investment that you've ever made.

Your logic about vertical blocking makes a lot of sense. So good to see the roof cap covered finally! And really good to see you using a safety line! Thanks for sharing this journey.

Graham - I appreciate the effort you put into talking to us throughout the whole project. Not only for the technical aspect, but the ambition, the highs and lows, and goals you see in the end. So often we see silent videos and we are just bystanders. But not on Woodness Goodness - we are all right there with you and getting the feels along the way! Thank you sir!

I firmly believe that you may have to redo that side of the roof again. Due to the fact that you have now created several holes in the roof protection by not pulling the nails all the way out and placing your pieces where the existing nail placements were. The old nails will now lead the water through the cover and into the board material underneath. It will cause rot and mold growth when it gets a little warmer. If you want to avoid it in the future, you should redo it completely. The moisture barrier is simply no longer waterproof.

Nothing like a power breakfast to set the tone. You’re young still, enjoy it. I did the same thing at your age. Trust me, you’ll transition out of that by the time you’re my age, 60. I watch a ton of cabin building videos and you are far and away the most entertaining. Love your energy and the vibe you put across is infectious. You’re a very cool dude. Thanks for the video.

The shots of your cabin in the fog are premium. And Taco Bell breakfast is so good!!!

Holy Woodness Imsomotivatedbyyouness baby!!!! I am so motivated by you big G but I have to admit I’ve been watching this video in bed while drinking my second cup of coffee lol. Now that the roof is sealed up it will help so much with keeping things dry. It is amazing how much you get done by yourself brother. If you keep eating Taco Bell for breakfast you have to make another dookie 💩 den due to blowing up the one you have now. 😂 Everything looks amazing and keep getting after it brother.

Yes, we want the cost and time breakdown 😊 Thanks

I’m a big fan of you giving a cost and time breakdown.

Been following you for a long time...was just noticing how close you are to reaching 200k subs...woo hoo! 🎉 C'mon peeps, subscribing costs nothing for this info and entertainment! 😊 Don't forget to give him a thumbs up, a comment, and/or sharing with your fam/friends. 😉

Great to see you change the roof! You would have had regrets later if you didnt thinking what if it Will leak.. Allways work with water, never against it. Water allways wins if you try to stop it!

I have the greatest time watching you just for the comments as well as the songs and education.

Using that calibrated eye-mometer to cut the felt perfectly, Graeme.

That was back breaking work. You are in good shape be careful it's going to be a great cabin .🏠🌲🌲

Seeing one person comment that I motivated them to try is the greatest thing ever! I could not agree more!

Great work on the roof today. Even small steps show big progress. Fixing the strapping on the other side will pay dividends and you knew that so thats why you did it. Apart from wheel chains perhaps some type of free floating power winch could help? Something you can attach to a tree and your tractor that'll get you up anything too slippery? Can't wait for your next visit.

Wow Taco Bell at 930, then a full day on the roof...your a legend. I woulda been stuck in dookie den half the day if that were me.

Dr Woodness hitting you with the facts from his PhD in wood sciences and theories lol

13:41 Don't sweat it Graeme, you're doing this all by yourself (well mostly). No cut guy down below to help you do all the cuts, hauling all the lumber up there by yourself. You are doing a helluva job man!

You are the best Bob-builder. Greetings from Sweden.

I have to say, major props to you and the Mrs. Woodnessgoodness. Knowing you have the littles at home makes it such a huge deal you can even get out there 1x a week. As a dad trying to finish up his own project thats in a garage next to my house, its even hard to get in there sometimes. Major props, love all this, cant wait to build my own someday.

What an undertaking! Kudos for your hard work and attention to details. Be well. Remember hard work builds character.

You define cool thumbnails because u r so awesome dude 🤣

Hey Gram love the cabin as for the tractor just take some scrap boards put some little rips across it and make like a chicken coop ramp to lay down and you'll have all the traction 👍

Nice drone shot. Starting to look like a real cabin now.

Gram or Graham? One of these days we're going to have to figure out something with the trail. We can camouflage it at the bottom. I use to go mountain climbing, so I have some trail building suggestions. One thing that you might do is take your camera with you and your wife some weekend and do a dayhike on the Appalachian trail. Note areas that you see where they have beefed up the steeper and wetter sections. Take plenty of photos of those areas. Study them and then incorporate the improvements into your trail. Just a suggestion. I love the progress that you are making. Take care. Vaughn

You Go Man! That being said a cost breakdown would be informative. (1x4, 2x4, 2x6, 4x8, underlayment, nails, screws....not counting the mouse house......you do inspire! Thanks Man!

A cost breakdown would be good 👍🏼

One day I hope to be out in the mountains doing this same thing!

Thanks for the pep talk at the end. At the end of every one of your videos I say, "Good job, Graham!" 😊 You motivate and inspire. Thank you.

Awesome! I'm really pumped to see how this turns out when it's done. The view will be awesome.

For a minute I didn’t realize you’d move to the other side of the roof and I was thinking……How the hell is he prying up those straps? Lol

I've had a tempest weather station since their Kickstarter campaign. It's really accurate, and super easy

I bet Sasquatch is hiding in the brush wondering why this human is talking to himself. Sasquatch avoid us because of this stuff. LOL

That’s a beautiful cabin on beautiful mountain top . When the roof is finished the hard part will be done.

Taco bell breakfast is 🔥🔥🔥 but always a risk of causing the same!

Gosh you are entertaining...love it! Would greatly appreciate a breakdown of costs and time. Many of us want a realistic breakdown for erecting a cabin build like yours (based upon recent prices, etc). 😊

Giving you encouragement: ‘Bob is your Uncle!🤣

Always a great watch. When it comes to content for these vids, do you talk through the work all day or just some of it. When I trained people at work, I always found it exhausting to talk about everything I did all day. Stay warm Brother.

Hey Mr. Woodness Goodness its good to see you again. The breakfast burrito sounds good to me. 😉 the apple is even better. I was hoping you'd have your roof on by now. But at least the weather is holding out for you. Love your videos and your humor! ❤ Enjoy the rest of your weekend. 🙏 😊

Sooo satisfying seeing that cap go on!

That worked out great! I still get nervous watching you up there though!

Love watching the progress on this build. Epic location. It is indeed motivating and inspiring watching you get after it!

Bold decision to eat taco bell before heading somewhere with no plumbing 🤣

Good progress! I think 1 day a week is good momentum. Probably won't get that burnt out feeling and can make better decisions during your off days. Get at it!

I would really love a cost/time breakdown of this project. You’re living my dream, dude. I want to do this someday and I’m taking lots of mental notes. Really appreciate your content and this project! Keep up the good work. (Also, I’ve never supported anyone via Patreon, but I think you may be my first).

Keep up the good work friend!!!

Cost breakdown would be great - especially line items for the lumber. When someone from another part of the country or in the near future runs the numbers, they could adjust for fluctuations in the materials. Doubt we’ll see crazy @ss prices like we did during the pandemic, but lumber costs can get wild. Keep up the good work brother!

Cut in a wider path for the jeep. Better to have access to your vehicle in the event there was an emergency. Nice work though, love the progress.

Like many projects. Sometimes the small things make a massive difference to the feeling of having finally achieved something. As I. You can spend countless hours and it most still looks the same then you do one little job and it suddenly changes.

Nice work! Soon you can upgradeti woodness greatness. A magnetized hammer is awesome to put in the cap nails. I couldn't find one so I taped a strong magnet under the head of mine and it made it so the stuck perfect and no more holding them.

Looking good there! I like the vertical straps

So nice to get the ridgeline covered. Thanks for sharing

Good on ya for pulling through and getting some work done on the cabin despite the weather and everything else! It’s not much but I hope you know I enjoy your update vids and I’m always cheering for ya to keep pushing because I’m excited to see this cabin done as much as everyone else here :)

Thank you for actually using the harness.

It’s looking good! Keep going. I watch every episode you put out each week.

0:10 Looking at how nice the large overhanging roof is on this window wall side of the cabin, it would look even stronger and be more effective as a canopy if you could extend the overhang farther out somehow. Take look, mabybe extend the side walls a few feet and add two heavy 4x4 16 foot posts to carry the load. A heavy ridge beam, two or three sets of timber frame rafters and you could also extend the ridge beam and two wall beams out 18 and 12 inches respectively beyond the roofline for a stronger architectural statement. Larch would be my choice for the timbers here as well as for the balcony posts and railings. Could be done later? But keep this possible idea in mind when you set the location of your balcony foundation posts. ❤ Cheers 🇨🇦

Absolutely killing it man!

Awesome job Graham! You inspire me to get Off my Butt! Mahalo from the islands

Let’s go! So excited to watch this. Making breakfast then putting it on the big living room TV to really see it well. Thanks for making these videos. Highlights of my week

Well done bud. Loving your humour and your hard work. Keep going sir!

Eating Taco Bell and going to work on an off grid cabin, you surely like to live dangerously 😂 Man I’d be worried too if I couldn’t see my cabin for a week, wondering if someone might find it. I sometimes shine a light at mine from my back deck to make sure she’s all right before I go to bed 😂😂😂

I kept waiting for you to call a ‘code brown’ while on the roof… taco bell is akin to Russian Roulette colon style

@woodnessgoodness try getting some free wooden skids from stores and lay them down on the path to get the tractor up the hill.

Taco Bell beef burritos start equals Dookie Den finish!!! 💩

I am designing my roof strapping now and was planning on doing something like what you did with blocks under the horizontal straps. The main reason I am doing it that way is because i'm in a similar situation, building away from home and trying to knock out some stuff in between trips to the property. I plan on attaching the blocks to the straps ahead of time so I have preassembled pieces I can attach all at once.

You are doing an awesome job. Keep it up. When will you add the doors and windows to keep the animals out?

Tell Duke I said hi.

Great job bro.!

Weekly uploads!!!

Sweet!

It's really coming together. Your comment about people finding it has me worried. You going to have cameras there after you finish? Or just keep it fairly empty in case someone does find it?

You truly are such a nice guy, so funny and inspiring! I love your authenticity. I have followed you and watched your projects from the beginning and I am still always looking forward to see a new episode pop up. Don’t stop! It’s the best KZfaq channel! 👍🏻🙌🏻

Got a lot done on a short day!

Great content as usual my man. Thanks for the helpful advice and inspiration. I hope to build a similar cabin one day before I exit this mortal coil. Cheers from Toronto.

I'm another one interested in a time/cost breakdown.

Felt buster and bean burritos

Comment #2… I know you’re a humble guy, but I for one would love to her a little bit abut what you’ve done for a living and how you got some of your building experience and your move from up north, or did I miss that in earlier vids?

Hey Dr Woodness, Can’t remember if you told us or not, is it going to be a metal roof? Black? Red? Or is it a surprise? Thanks!

Graeme why not use grace ice & water shield or vapordry by benjamio obdyke?

Well done mate, keep going. If I wasn't all the way over here in England I'd pop round and give you a hand. Or at least come up with a good excuse not to! Seriously, keep going. You're doing a great job.

I’d love a cost breakdown 🖐️ 💰 🌲

Buen trabajo, esforzado y tenaz, disfruta el proceso ... saludos desde el sur de Chile.

Things are getting serious and harder when G stops making a lot of jokes and goes for it

the vertical blocks you could have cut at 45 degrees instead of straight across and it would shed water even better. lol too late now.

So Mister Goodness, what's the link to your Amazon wishlist, have a few things in mind for ya.

If you had Taco Bell for breakfast I feel sorry for the outhouse.

How much water is still trapped under the underlayment? Its been open from the top for quite a while!! better than staples or button caps is the stick on type, no holes. Something like GRACE

Great progress! Do you think you will do shingle siding again?

Hey man nice meeting you today! Give me a shout sometime I'd be happy to lend a hand. My whole life has been fueled by construction and boardsports🙏🤙

Hi Graeme, how thick is your plywood on the roof ?

🤝

One day a week algorithmic Taco Bell blast.

One certain thing is to be remembered...if done on time, under budget without anything going wrong....is a sure indicator that you screwed something up big time! :-D)

have you thought about starting a patreon?

You can actually start sleeping there now. Stat working earlier. 🙂

🖐😎👍

Graham, if Bob’s your Uncle, is Fanny your Aunt? Just wondering.

A friend of mine's father has land and a cabin and he purposely left it without, water, electricity, or in indoor toilet to keep it female free for the most part for 40 years. Put a trailer and all that other stuff out there and now he can't keep a weekend to himself without friends and family tagging along... Definitely something to keeping a fortress of solitude simple.
