    I'm from the US, and stumbled on to you guys just the other day. I ended up watching for 4 hours until my phone went dead. My gosh Canadians are talented. And relentless workers. If I would have had to work with my ex-wife, for just a few hours. She would have beaten me to a pulp. In my younger days I was a boxer. And made the mistake of showing her how to beat a speed bag. Thank you so much for letting us in your world, incredible videos . I'm now a big fan.

    I love the fact that you 2 are not loud, brassy, arrogant or full of yourselves. What a pleasure! Stay plain, ordinary, human, real and keep the vids coming!

    Do the two of you ever just step back and look what you have achieved? I have no idea what you personal lives are about but if you were my kids, I would be so damn proud of you both. The two of you are absolutely amazing young adults !! You both are so humble and true to yourselfs, for example, like plainning them boards down, and cutting all the boards for the woodshed by hand and putting screws in by hand, etc. etc. etc. !! Both of you take a bow because you certainly deserve it !! ❤️🙏🦃🦌🐻🍁✌🏼

      Thanks Bruce!! Pretty much every day we look at the cabin and think "what an insane idea we had, and we can't believe we actually made it!"

    Your video just got far better as people like to hear the both of you talk and explain the thoughts behind the things that you are doing great job on the build . I am a professional carpenter , plummer and electrician , so feal free to ask anything that you want .

    Congratulations on your first night at the cabin…that had to be exciting! Glad you decided to stick to your plan and do everything with hand tools….that’s dedication. You two work great together. Wood shed is coming along nicely. Enjoyed the video…thanks for sharing!

    Always keep that kettle of water on the stove. Two reasons: You will have hot water handy when you need it; 2. You will add some humidity to the cabin, making the heat more comfortable.

    Enjoy all your videos. Both of your work is impeccable. Smart move using those boards on the building from your property. Served a great purpose. Glad you used the tarp to cover the front porch. Snow is everywhere. So much to clean off even before you get inside the cabin. Bet plaining the boards made a difference too. Thanks for sharing.

    I wonder if the wooden structure that you are taking apart had a recreational purpose perhaps, since it is sitting at the creek.

    •  2 роки тому

      Could be! The maple container threw us off, but someone mentioned it could've been a deer stand and it make sense. But we'll never know for sure.

  • @inno-nativefoodsadventures8842

    I like the wood shed. The cabin looks great. However, It seems the Meala does most of the construction work and Nick does most of the cleaning and small side jobs. It’s a good thing to have a good helper and the other person does the bulk of the project, team work is the key in all things. Good job Meala, you’re an inspiration to many of us women. Bravo!

    Hi Nick and Maela, I just subscribed to night.!!!! Your cabin is beautiful. I have one concern though. There is no heat or fire shield in back or the side of your wood stove. This is a very important safety feature. So please be safe and take care. Also thank you for sharing😍🥰💕❣️🤗🤗

    •  Рік тому +1

      Thanks Judy! The heat shield is only necessary if the stove is closer than the recommended 16 inches clearance to combustibles.

    Hello! I've been following your build from the beginning. As a self builder of cabin, that I've lived in for 7 years, I appreciate and enjoy your vlog. 90% of my build was recycled, or built with timber from the land I live on. Roof materials, nails, stove pipe and 9 joists were the only things that were bought in.
    From this video, I think you will have two regrets. I think your eaves should be wider & the roof longer, especially to close in the whole area infront of your door (porch/balcony) and the sides, where your steps come up. Your wood shed should be against the cabin. Less building and more insulation (for one bit).
    My place is great. I planned a lot. I'm probably not going to build another home, but I've learnt, as I've lived in my cabin, that there are parts I would have done differently and better. Isn't hind sight a gift/curse?
    My build was six months. By myself. You two are such a beautiful team. You will have many winters remenicing about it in the future. Wonderful, and thank you for your absorbing vbideos. Much love from SW Wales (UK).

    The snow ❄️ is beautiful and I bet your first night was kinda cool and satisfying for all your hard work.
    How are you storing food at the moment?
    Any idea of the inside temperature in the evening with the stove running?
    Of course I'm sure you have some warm clothes and bedding?

    •  2 роки тому +1

      We just pack in food for around 4 days and store it in a bin. The cabin actually gets pretty hot! We think the wood stove is too big for this tiny cabin haha

      It’s 16 inches from the wall, so according to the requirements of the stove, it’s all good! We’ll probably install a back drop anyways, so we can move it at a 45 degree angle :)

    God bless. I like watching your videoes. Stay close to God. Jesus is Lord and Saviour, and the ONLY way. He died on the cross for your sins too. Repent, and follow Him. Ask Jesus in to your hearts, so The Holly Spirit can live inside of you (born again). We're living in difficult times, and more difficult they will get. Jesus is always faithfull. He said: I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father, except trough me. Jesus is the door (the way), not A way, but THE way. Ask Him, and He will answear.
