  • Part 19 of my cabin reno is a bit of a turkey sometimes, but the end result of a week of building has improved the cabin immensely. I also try a new "beer"!
    Sorry if I look like a lobster, it's because I was having monitor color issues. Hope to have this fixed real soon!

    I absolutely love your new "window seat." Rustic is such an inviting esthetic, and it lends itself so well to repurposing, diying and making do with what you have. Have you named your cabin? You were the one to see such potential in the poor old thing. Everyone advised you to tear her down and start over. Now she is blossoming anew thanks to your hard work and perseverance. She's turning into a stunner.

    Build a small wood feed trauph out in yard, get sum oates & a jug of molasses. Pour a sum molasses over the oates in a coffee can pour it into the trauph. Those deer will let you pet them while feeding them. My friends neighbor use to do it every summer at the lake cottage.

      @SlimPotatohead  Рік тому +4

      I'm sure there is some trust, however they don't get much food from me. If Prudence comes by she may get a handful of corn, but here friends typically keep their distance. The turkeys however have a large territory they forage from so I don't see them often. The large group of over 50 only passes by every few weeks, but they do remember me. They eat ticks, so the exchange is mutual! SP

    I have to admit that when you first bought the cabin, my heart sank. 😮 That roof covered in black rotting leaves, the sagging foundations, the strange lean-to wall facing the lake-view.
    Ooh! What a costly mess.
    A bloomin' _Disaster !_
    How wrong I was, as I now realise I was merely projecting my own inability to "see properly" the way a sculptor does when they view _a lump of rock_ 😊 but only see the great possibilities hidden within.
    Thanks Slim, for turning a 🥔 Potato into a Meal 😅

    Hey Slim, Looks FANTASTIC! I love the fold up breakfast bar. Keep up the excellent work!
    A couple safety tips to do what you want with:
    1 - Make sure any rags you use for finishes get laid out flat to dry before tossing them - they could catch fire if balled up.
    2 - With the table saw - best practice to not wear gloves. If by some chance they were to get into the blade, there's a possibility it'll pull your hand into the blade more.

    @russrockino-rr0864 Рік тому

    Slim, when you have combustible material such as wood added to your walls, you should use extension boxes on your device boxes instead of spacers. Without out them, a fire in the box could catch the wood on fire. That is code in the US, and I think the Canadian code is similiar. It cost more money, but it is much safer. I enjoy all your videos, but especially the Cabin videos. Keep up the good work. Awesome wild Turkey footage. Thanks, Russ, Electrician from Oregon.
