    Jay…..as a lifelong builder and craftsman, both personally and professionally, it was easy for me to see in the beginning that you were a novice with tools, building, etc…. BUT, the other thing that I also immediately saw, was that you were always willing to jump right in, give it a shot, learn and work hard. You didn’t let the fear of “not knowing” shut you down. Fast forward to today, and NOW I see a much more confident, able and effective worker. It’s a beautiful thing to see, my man. Keep going, keep learning, keep growing. You will continue to get better and better. Awesome job Jay!

    Hi Jay, floor structure looking great. My engineering mind would suggest that you put some cross bracing across from top to bottom diagonals on your columns under the flooring that will stop the lateral movement. Looking forward to Labrador updates all the best from Australia.

    Jay, I’ve been watching for about 4 years. I have an idea, lol. I think it would be less stressful than building the addition walls etc in the winter! Put your canvas hit tent on the addition for the winter. Then remove it and set it up on that property next summer, ‘25.
    One of the first things I would have done to that property is clear the trees blocking your view of the lake!!!!!!! That is a high value feature totally being blocked! Love watching you grow!!

    When you first started woodworking in the tent, I must say that you have improved a lot since you first started. You have done an excellent job on the new deck. One thing I would have done differently is to use noggins between your joists. It helps to prevent the floor from being bouncy and stops your joists from twisting.

      @@brianbrowning6615 Read back on the thread. I didn't say he couldn't. I was just providing another, more common name for noggins. But honestly, trying to add them from under the floor now that the decking has gone down is going to be a *lot* more work. More work than removing the decking to add them IMO. But again, I was not commenting on him not having them. I was just providing the more common name of blocking.

    The extension is looking good, Jay. Fun watching you learn and figure things out even though not perfect still functional and that's all that matters. I do recommend at least 1 of a 1/2 bolt with washer and nut on inside on each post in both directions to hold the main structure together throughout the years. The winters will make easy work of those nails and screws being down in the moisture of snow and rain. Can't wait to see the vlog videos back at your home. Don't forget to let us know when your Michelin Star arrives for those fine meals your cooking, as they look so good when watching yet simple.

    Awesome job on the framing and flooring. No better way to celebrate than a nice fried bologna sandwich. No better feeling than seeing the successful result of thoughtful planning and hard work.
    Many years ago, as a lad of 10 years of age, I helped my Dad build the house I grew up in. Many of the tasks you're doing are what I did, chalk lines, nailing floors and walls, etc. That was 53 years ago, and that house is still occupied and going strong. Makes me proud of the work we did long ago. One day you'll be looking back on that cabin and thinking the same thing. You'll even have videos of your younger self doing the work and overcoming the challenges. (Hint: All the hard work is worth it in the end. The best is yet to come.)

You will be surprised how easily the screws will go into the wood. Also lubricate your hand saw with oil or paraffin and you will use less energy on each cut.

    I’m super excited the see the Labrador videos Jay! I remember last year when you went and loved those too. The extension has really started to come together, it looks great and I too am so proud of just how far you’ve come! You went from building the staircase where you ran into several hiccups to building an extension, and outhouse and a tool shed, that’s a HUGE improvement! Safe travels ☺️

    Awesome Jay. Watching u go from the dirt floor hot tent, to finding pallets for your new hot tent flooring, and now to this cabin. Loved all your videos since the beginning. You are my favorite youtuber and im glad to see so many new videos lately. Cant wait to see how this addition turns out!

    Nice work Jay, I’m one of those guys who does this kind of work alone too. Just a few observations, cribbing where I’m am at is considered a temporary support, but I understand that drilling a few more holes in the rock would be a PIA. Also, rather than nailing into your load bearing members, I would drill and use 1/2” carriage bolts. As a power lineman who has framed more power poles than I care to count, bolts last forever, and as the wood dries and shrinks the bolts can be tightened.

    Whenever I used to do a major project around the house I would think about it for a couple of months and fine tooth the plan in my head. Rarely would I draw out plans because they're in my brain. There would be mistakes sometimes but, if you're going slow you can catch them before they get major. New to your show and love it.

You are definitely a hard worker & set your sights high when going for your goals. Glad I found your channel years ago when you were camping just in the tent - and did a great job with that. Have a great trip.
