My final trip to my cozy log cabin in the woods! Thanks everyone for joining me, take care!
After two years, the cabin is finished, or as finished as I'll be able to get it, at least.
A few things that have happened since the last episode:
- The roof is finished and shingled. This trip I add extra caulking around the skylights as well.
- New stairway and loft. I built this in the middle of summer and it was a pretty warm trip. My eldest came down a few weeks ago and we painted the ceiling white to bounce the sunlight a bit. On this trip I finish off a bit of a landing area at the top of the stairs.
- No more tarps or plastic sheeting ANYWHERE! Oh, except those dangly flaps for the wood bin. They're supposed to be there.
- The hearth and chimney have been rebuilt and now includes a grill/oven. This was a big job, I demolished the entire top of the hearth and rebuilt it because it just wasn't drawing air properly. I learned a lot building this the first and second times!
This is my last video for the channel, unfortunately I can't keep my land. What a fun project this cabin has been! I'm very sad to see it go, but I really hope whoever buys the property intends to keep it and use it.
Thanks very much for joining me for this, take care!

Now that the worst of the winter weather is done, Mocha and I head down for a camping weekend at the cabin. I'm completely out of firewood, and it's time to start getting some proper wood piles built. Previously, I cleaned up the moss on the front, but I still need to do 3 more walls of the cabin.

In this episode I finish the wall surrounding the hearth, but the weather is too cold to do more mortar work. The last gap between the hearth and the log wall will need to wait until spring. The hearth itself also needs more work done. It leaks smoke in a few spots and the front opening is too tall. Smoke pours out the front and fills the cabin. I'm going to get that fixed next time, or I won't...

    Are you trying to get someone killed? Please take Propane out of the title. Helium is inert, lighter than air and will evacuate the tank. Propane is highly flammable, heavier than air & will pool at the bottom of any tank for years, and still explode with minimal ignition.

      Yes the metal pan forms the side of the water tank. Unfortunately I'm missing a clip where I formed the bottom of the tank and installed the drain pipe. There's an opening on the left side where I can pour water in from the top. Next time I go down the mortar will have set and I can give it a test run. Then I can show it action!

      Die Lamellen sind aus sehr massivem Holz. Es waren keine billigen Kiefernpaletten, sie sind robust! Ich habe viel gehämmert, um die Nägel in dem gewünschten Winkel durchzubringen, und das Bohren einiger Führungslöcher hat geholfen. Dies sind die Seiten eines Scheunendachs und der Winkel ist zu steil, als dass sich viel Schnee ansammeln könnte. Ich mache mir keine Sorgen, dass es viel Gewicht tragen könnte. Die Lamellen oben liegen viel näher beieinander. Ich werde auch außen Zedernschindeln anbringen. Das sollte bei Wärmeverlust helfen.
