Easy! Beautiful Board and Batten Siding on an Off Grid Mountain Cabin
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 гру 2023
- What a way to end 2023! The off grid Spur Cabin exterior is completely finished! We wrap up the year by wrapping up the siding with easy and attractive board and batten.
This isn't the old-fashioned board and batten, I used rough-sawn plywood for the boards, and ironically, fence boards for the battens. Whaaaat?
Not only do I get this stuff on the building, I manage to caulk and stain EVERYTHING on the cabin, in approximately 33-degree weather. I know...it's cutting it close, but it will be just fine!
The big question in this end-of-the-year video: Do you bother to make New Year's resolutions, or do you pass altogether. Just curious! Drop me a comment and let me know.
Thanks for making @LifeontheMoose the #1 UA-cam channel of 2023! Well, maybe not exactly that, but thanks for watching! Without you, this wouldn't be nearly as fun.
Happy New Year!

Now that we did all the work😂 we couldn't have done it with out you thank you so much
Thank YOU!
Can't wait to see the inside finished
Hi Patrick, my wife and I just binge watched most of your episodes! I really enjoyed your spur cabin build. Yes, I have used cedar fence slats many times on my projects! The two things I like most about your episodes, are your personality and the music! Thank you, Kim and Vicky Whitney, Saint George, Utah
Thanks so much, Kim n Vicky! 🙏🙏
That's a right proper cabin, dude. It's got as much character as you, lol.
Ha thanks! 🙏
Thank you! For the well wishes, but mostly for sharing your talents. Happy New Year.
I appreciate that. 🙏
The Moose Is Moving In 2024🎉🎊🏆
I made a new years resolution decades ago to not wait until New Years to start doing something smart.
Having that OSB on there sure made nailing up the ply painless.
You must feel blessed to have a sister who worries about you.
I do!
Wow! What a perfect way to end the year... Happy New Year to you Patrick and to your family. May God continue to bless you and your family... Cheers to 2024! The best is yet to come!
Indeed! Thank you for watching! 🙏
Cheers 🥳 see you in 2024! All the best to you and yours. Thanks for taking me along on your adventure.
Thank you for watching it! 🙏
AA+ Cabin Build- Great Learning Experience even for an Old California GC.
I appreciate that. 🙏
The only New Year resolution I'm making is to NOT miss any of your up-coming videos! Okay maybe one more...to eat more breakfast burritos. Try adding ortegas in your burrito for a wonderful flavor enhancement.
Holy cow, as I view the comments I realize just how many loyal viewers you have. That says a lot about your workmanship and volumes about your personality, Keep up the good work and God bless you in the coming year. See ya next year...from your friend, Johnny in Yuma.
I appreciate that sentiment, Johnny! And I appreciate the community we are building here. 🙏
Patrick, you accomplished your goal of completing the exterior this year. Good for you!!! Now on to the interior. Big blessings to you.
Much appreciated and you as well!
Cheers, Patrick 🥂
Hey Patrick. Kind words! Lol
Patrick, Happy New Year to you and your family! Thanks for taking us along. Can’t wait for what’s in store for 2024. Cheers to you on what you’ve accomplished!🥂
🙏 Thank you for watching.

I'll raise a cup of kindness to you on the completion of the outside of the cabin. Happy New Year.
Much appreciated!
Happy New Year Patrick! Thanks for taking us along on your build, and congratulations on finishing the exterior.
Will be looking forward to riding along with you in 2024, Cheers my friend!
Cheers! 🙏
I loved the wobbly cutting, so much like myself.
Enjoy your videos
Awesome!
Thank you so much. I'm not sure what I enjoy more- your wit, production values, or construction skills. You deserve triple the subs.
Wow thank you!! I’ll get there. Just tell everyone you know to tell 3 people! 🤔🙏
@@LifeontheMooseHahaha. That'll work perfectly!
Hey Patrick, I just wanted to say that I love your videos. On another note I think it would be cool if you wrote a children's book based on your ranch and the stuff you do. I think kids would love it like I do. keep up the good work!
As a 35 year old, I’d read it…
You are too kind! 🙏
Perfect way to end the year by finishing the exterior., which looks fabulous, BTW. Happy New Year and looking forward to seeing what you have in store for 2024. 😊
I appreciate that!
I was just getting up to put my shoes on so I could help with that window piece, but then you told me to sit back and relax again.😊
I have to say that the first thing that comes to mindwhen I see that extension ladder is widow maker. Thanks for sharing your blessings with us, and happy new year.
I appreciate you watching and reaching for those shoes! 🙏
Good job, well done. 😎🇬🇧👍
Actually, my back is feeling better, thanks! 😉

Wonderful craftsmenship awsom cabin Best Wishes
I appreciate that!
Howdy….little pointer from a retired contractor….set your saw blade so it just breaks the surface of the board…..if u just happen to slip up, then as little blade as possible will bite ya……..still got all my fingers, but they show a few lessons…love your videos…have a Great New Year
Very good advice! I would if I could…The mechanism that lowers the blade is broken. It’s an old saw. Thanks for watching!
Looks great. I bet you’re glad the outside is completed! Hope you had a Merry Christmas. May your New year be prosperous and healthy.
