Grab yourself Home Depot 5gal pails x5 or 6 next time for easier transport and handling of aggregate, keep up the good work.

Good work working the issues as you go. Tip on the gravel. Now that you have achieved the base to slow the water as it filters down and away, there will be some settling naturally. This happens from water removing the fine dirt, constant seismic activity and build traffic. That’s your true depth height. The next load you bring in eventually, let the rain wash it clean for a few weeks, apply a soil separator/filter fabric down first, then your washed rock for finish level. 5/8”minus interlocking rock. Use a 8x8 or 12x12 inch tamper and it will stay at that level and look great for years to come. Congratulations on getting after it. Pays to be a winner.

About time for a small garden tractor with a box blade to smooth out that trial.

Why unhook the trailer everytime. Making a lot more work

Man that’s a lot of work on the floor! I would have built it at the height and added 2x2 on the 2x8s. I would have then added strips of plywood to fit between the 2x8s. From there you add your floor insulation and water proofing if needed between the floor joists. If you you were concerned about vermin, you can add diatomaceous earth under and around to keep those bugs/vermin out of the space.

Did you get a Ford Ranger?

By the way if you have a run in with another black bear if you yell at them they will run away. The human voice sets us apart from bears. They have very poor vision especially if your in camouflage so yelling at them makes it absolutely clear you’re a human.

Might be too late to suggest, but you can dig a hole in the dirt a few feet deep under the floor, line the sides of it with some scrap wood, and throw a couple inches of gravel in the bottom. Put a hatch in the floor above the hole, and you have yourself a cool storage for food in 5 gallon buckets.

Never mind.

Not sure why you move the loaded cart by hand? Why not just leave it on the 4 wheeler and back it up to the cabin where you need it? You would think it would be easier even if you could only get close to shovel the stone out as opposed to moving a loaded cart by hand.

Can you go into how you came to find your property? is there a web site you used to find it? or what were you looking for in a property?

Well done. Your Fast Cabin is going up at lightning speed. My favorite cabin build channel is The Outsider. See this video at 24.30 for where vapor barrier needs to be placed relative to where the dew point drops out moisture. Condensation in insulation will reduce R value and feed mold. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eJukdJl0mp3Umac.htmlsi=79T16DslpGVkcE2E. He also has 5 saw mill videos. I also like Simple Living Alaska and Chris Harbour Natural Building for saw mills.

Why not drive the trailer to where you want it with atv instead of dragging it by hand?

Work smarter not harder back that trailer up close to cabin with the 4 wheeler.

James - I caught up on your series about a month ago. Now during the week I wait for Saturdays to catch the next 'episode'. I'm looking forward to it during the week now. The other day I was out grilling in my backyard in Georgia and some kids were outside playing and running around, and I overheard them saying 'oogah boogah'. I looked up bewildered over the smoke and flames of my grill and grunted back 'oogah boogah' in contemplation.

Spayed!!! Do you have something to tell us James?!?!?

Love your channel, and never miss a week. Did a quick scan of comments and didn't see anybody else ask this. Once you get the vapor barrier and wire mesh in place, how are you going to let that section down? You won't be able to stand between the joists to pull them screws out.

Great videos,keep ‘em coming.Would love to see the new shotgun purchase when it happens.Are you allowed to film yourself looking and buying??Love watching this from Australia mate.Funny fella as well which gives us a laugh.👍

Maybe.... Leave that section of the floor where it is, build the second half ON TOP of the existing floor, slide it off / into place, and then lower the section you built in this episode?

Hydro electric there!

Most people would back the atv trailer up to the side of the cabin and unload instead of unhitching.

Also make sure ro pack the gravel down good. It can wash away with the rain and you worked so hard. The house is goi g great btw!! I have watched you from the beginning. When do we get a new quest from the dwarf?

I have been here since your first video!

Build a chicken coop and buy some chicks once the cabin is done then a few pigs and a garden

I looked it up a red oak .It really could be one

You might want to invest in eves troughs installing these will help your foundation erosion plus can be used to trap rainwater to either to water plants or other uses. Don't let all this effort go to waste your foundation is the life of your cabin.

Freya's red oak!

Beautiful place you have there! Have you read the book "Lure of the Labrador wild"?

Speaking from no experience... I think you should have sealed the bottom logs (or put a moisture barrier between the soil/wet soil and the unfinished log(s).

Always gotta have a Jerry with you 😅 What a legend. Glad you could get the gravel situation sorted

Tell me what truck you bought how dare you !!!! lol

Please tell us that u will keep doing vids even after the cabin is done..why? I would certainly miss you.. im wishing i was a bit younger id love to have 10 babies. Puppies can u do 10 puppies instead? Lol you i wait to watch all week. I wstch sat nights..

James. Get a wheelbarrow, dump your loads of gravel around the cabin while the trailer us on your ATV and shovel or relocate where needed. Personally, i would make some forms and mix concrete for more support under the cabin. Good show in any case.

Rent a mini Bob cat now that you have the truck get the foundation like you want it. The Bob cat can go off path also clear a clearing with it

No bad vibes, but get a good first aid kit if you don’t already have one sir

Aye captain. Get the mini Bob cat since you have the truck tighten up the foundation and push clear a clearing. The Bob cat can go to trail wo making the path viz

I do not think it’s the same as Thor’s red oak- I couldn’t get a good screenshot of the leaf or its underside or of the stem so can’t say for sure it’s an oak either if its really one main stem ok it’s not growing like a shrub - so maybe a nut tree and still maybe oak (the kind of oak I think it might be only grows in swampy areas) - we gonna have to get a better look at the mystery greenery

Call them Thor's twins as a double throwback. Specifically, you can name them individually, Móði and Magni which were Thor's two sons. I don't believe there were twins, but the double reference goes to "The Hunt for Red October" when there was a reference to an underwater geological feature called "Thor's twins". There may be books upon books of mythology about Thor's twins that I don't know about. Not the point. I know sir you are a connoisseur of '80s and '90s pop culture references so I figured that's right up your alley.

My man! What happened yo the epic amount of maple syrup that you used to consume? Coffee + maple syrup for the win!

Was that a gang sign in the start?

This guy’s going to 5 million subs, you heard it here first

i absolutely love these videos, the way he puts the good the bad and the ugly in all of them. I've only recently discovered this channel but i love it. I hope you get your wish of 8 babies with Sophie Turner

See's you eat an apple contemplates whether you are an Alien🤔

Nice job on the clean-up. Stay well. Diet is very important with diverticulitis.

Why are you man handling the tipper trailer into place, just back it on with the quad or drive in and tip it off, it seems you like to things the hard way !!

James, looks like a CHINQUAPIN OAK (Quercus muehlenbergii) . Great episode today, cabin is really coming along nicely! Thanks for sharing! 😊

Man I'm almost as excited as you are about the sawmill. I was a sawyer in a previous life so I love that stuff. Onward, Upward and Outward!

wait, at the very end, was that "booga booga"? All this time I thought it was "ooga booga". James please clarify!
