- Опубліковано 6 жов 2024
- Its finally time to get the balcony built. I have gotten so many emails and messages about getting this part done for safety sake. It isn't going to be a fast process but what has on this project. Like every thing else on this house it is over build and made to last a lifetime .

About Me.
In 2018 I decided to stop working for someone else full time and pursue my dream of building my log home and starting a small farm in the Ozark mountains. It's a dream that I have had and have been working towards for over 20 years, and due to life changes and unexpected events, I decided to make a leap of faith. This journey will not be without its challenges and setbacks, but I will continue to push forward each and every day to make this dream a reality. I try to upload videos 3 days a week but working mostly alone I am always pressed for time.

That is a serious building! You certainly have great skills and I hope the wind is at your back and you are safe and warm inside when the leaves turn! Amazing, keep going!!
Thank you so much
Your skill are so valuable, a class of young builders should spend a week with you learning a great trade.
The amount of physical work and craftsmanship you have put into your cabin is truly staggering. I enjoy your videos very much!
Thank you so much
OhMyGosh, that balcony is going to hold an elephant! Serious heft there.
Just know - any griping is only done to look out for your safety when you’re up high. You mentioned yourself you’ve almost stepped off.
This cabin is going to outlive us all for generations to come ❤️❤️❤️
I seldom comment but LOVE watching. I am really enjoying the finishing touches. It is such a beautiful building that is slowly becoming a cozy home. Thank you for including us in the journey.
Thank you so much!
The railing is going to fit into the cabin build perfectly.
Loved the silver colour the timbers had .
Gosh - Arkansas must be something! Last show there was snow on the ground, today you are in short sleeves! Blessings family!
It’s crazy this year. It has been going from snow to sunshine in 4-5 days
I’ve been watching for a few years now. Easily one of the most relaxing, rewarding and satisfying channels on here. Thank you for documenting the process!
thank you so much
The log home just keeps looking better and better. Actually it looks beautiful. You have a great home, great family, and great homestead.
Thank you
i love to see the animals
Great House, great family, great life !
Good for you !
Thank you!
The bigger beams gives the railing a nice touch to the cabin. Looking good. Stay safe
Love the big thick posts for the railings.Its going to look so nice.
Like the your idea of the LED soft lighting for the balcony and stairs at night too.Smart idea.
Yeah the truck and the pigs are throwing you a little curve ball but not as bad as the Alaska,covid and surgery curve ball that had you down for awhile.
Always something to get in your way of the build progress but your getting there and I don't think Christmas is out of the question but I guess it depends on how many more curve balls get thrown at ya.
It's going to be a beautiful home when you complete it that's for sure.
The goats are funding practicing there ramming with there heads and that male goat learned his lesson right quick,don't touch the fence LOL .I like when you can add in little things like the goat tour maybe the pigs best time LOL .
Hang in there Stephan God's on your side .God Bless you and your family.
Your railing is looking great and the nighttime lighting will look really cool and is a nice safety feature. Evidently the fence has enough juice to discourage a breakout lol!
Love the look of the posts. The proportion is so visually appealing!
Thank you
I love how you explain everything you’re doing. The house is looking so good.I love the lighting you’re going to do. That will look so cool.
Thank you
Great job watching you from the beginning one of the best builds on UA-cam paul from dublin ireland
Love your tips on boring the post holes. Very handy.
I thought it might make it easier for someone if they needed to do something similar
It's more like you built and mounted all of the uprights in only two days. That was some excellent design and fitting. It's going to be a focal part of the home.
Thanks 👍
Your front door is beautiful. Its nice to see you are progressing well. I think you will make the xmas deadline.
Looks absolutely gorgeous 😍
Really Like The Robust Look. Goes Great Against All that Pine‼️‼️ 👍 👍. Vinny 🇺🇸
Country View Acres used rebar for the spindles of their railing. Something different.
Awesome job, Stephen, I have no doubt you’ll be in by Christmas. 👍👍👍👍👍
We’re going to try. Lots left to do
As one allergy sufferer to another a few tips to help you out. You can use a medi pot and rinse out your sinuses. I don't because it feels like I am water boarding myself. I use warm salt water in a tablespoon, plug one side if your nose and snort it up into your sinuses, repeat on other side. Sounds gross but works. Rinse your eyes out with saline solution. Use Ayr cream in your nostrals or a thin layer of vasoline. Wear a mask when working outside. These things keep the allergens out of your sinuses. Or take antihistamine daily. It gets worse as you get older. You are a hard working man Steven, take care of yourself. I get really sick from allergies and it takes me down. 5 minutes a day, I have 20 years on you, you have to take care of yourself first. I see you suffering and do hope you try these remedies. The 1st one is to make it better. The rest is preventative. I hope you don't take offense, my intention is to help. Your home will be beautiful.
Looking very sturdy!
W Wow your house is starting to look just WONDERFUL can't wait to see it finished nice SEEING you and your WONDERFUL wife
Man I love it. Still wish you would have made a whole house book with materials, hardware and techniques used but I know your were busier than busy.
I might be able to do that when I’m finished. I have thought about it.
It's coming along finally your getting closer to moving in...
It's been a long bumpy road.🤣👍👍
Yes it has but I’m getting there
Nice job! Those posts ain’t going anywhere!
Looks fantastic.The Deck lighting will really look splendid also.Sending Light from MN
An amazing build buddy. I am so impressed.
Thank you
Looking good👍👍👍👍👍
Christmas is doable! A steady pace will get y'all there. The Homestead is moving forward now. Summer will be here before you know it! Get a broody hen to hatch the turkey eggs?!? 👌 👍 😊
The eggs aren’t fertile I’m sad to say.
Dang you are so talented. And I am jealous of all the tools you have.
Hey. Definitely not trying to give you grief but check it out from our side of the screen. We see you doing something that looks somewhat 'omg' and although we still want to watch the video we are on edge because if something does go wrong we are pretty helpless. I'm in Australia and couldn't reach you quickly - and a lot of us seem to be older. That railing - fabulous, love the idea of the lighting.
Really like that they match the ceiling beams. I'm hoping you all get finished & celebrate with your first Christmas in your log cabin. Looking forward to seeing the kitchen eventually completed & what materials/appliances you chose. Thanks for the video & have a great week!
Awesome work on the post for the balcony!!!!!!
Thanks so much!
Those are mighty fine Goats Y'all have there. They sure have grown. Yay on Turkey eggs guys! Love those huge beams up on the balcony, the lights sound amazing too! It's all coming together nice and steady Stephen and April. It's already a fine Cabin but the finish line will be spectacular. One day at a time, one step at a time. We understand, you have a Farm to run, lots going on. Hoping for a December move in, that would be fantastic! Be safe Y'all, blessings!
Thanks so much
Man I like the beefy post. Its looking awesome! Your doing a great job brother!
Wow Stephen, you do really fine work! I’ve followed you and your progress from the beginning. What a Beautiful place your building there. I’m very envious of all your skills. Great job buddy.
thank you for sticking around all this time..
Stair lighting is an awesome idea! Love the stout post. Looks so good. Healthy looking goats! Always look forward to see a post of your pop up! Take care.
Thank you so much
You have some great wood working skills. Interesting to watch your work. I'm glad you are doing this also, you don't need to fall off it again... lol Sweet dog! You work so smart! Great gig Great design for the deck lighting and stairs. My goodness, a lot going on, I sure hope you all are in before Christmas. Thank you for sharing. All the best. The goats are pretty. Ooopps! He found the hot fence. lol They are so playful ... and curious.
We just got home and put him in there with the girls. He was testing his boundaries. Lol

Glad to see ,from a safety standpoint the railings started. The lighting on the floor excellent idea. Everything takes time Stephen step by step you'll see the finish line. Be well, greetings to April and the girls
Good morning HRH 👋😁👍
Good morning
Dam you are very talented. And I am jealous of all the tools you have.
Thanks for the vid Steve, as ever instructive, bloody great lumps the posts but I suppose you will get comments about them, don't you just love the
folks that stand in the crowd heckling people who are taking part or doing something useful when the would not have a clue how to do it themselves,
It's coming together great mate one tip though I'll say it quietly so the lady viewers don't hear me be careful lifting the post's they must weigh a ton don't
want you laid up having developed a third lump down there, painful.
Cheers mate from the UK.
Thanks for the tip. I lift heavy all the time to stay in shape. I actually need to be lifting a lot more as I am getting a little soft. Lol
Your home is looking amazing! I wish I was closer, would love to come check out the progress! The balcony is gonna be amazing! Great job! 😎👍 John
thanks bud !! I hope all is well with you.
@@hickoryridgehomestead9177 Yeah things are great! Life is great! Thx for asking!
great job
Love it!
Amazing!
Köszi jolet a videó !
Another awesome job, looks amazing....you're doing a great job. Keep up and it'll go faster than you think so you’ll be in by Christmas. I'm enjoying watching you build as it brings back so many memories of hubby and me building...figuring out ways to do repeative jobs with a template or something to help do the job easier. Stay safe, be careful, take it easy and keep warm and dry.
Thank you so much. This part of the build is starting to get a little more fun.
@@hickoryridgehomestead9177 yeah, it was for us too once we were dried in and could work inside, we closed off the stairway and worked in the basement the first winter and finished it, got it ready so we could get the water, furnace and water heater installed, then in the spring worked on the ground floor getting everything done. Amazing how it seemed we'd never get it done but we kept plugging along and then, bam, it was done. You're doing great and it'll be done before you know it.
Very nice my friend
Take care
You have great ideas keep at it
It's looking so beautiful! Awesome job! X's &
Thank you
@@hickoryridgehomestead9177 , you're so very welcome!
It's looking beautiful Stephen the deck lighting is a awesome idea. Can't wait to see how you work out the ends of the balcony railing.
Beautiful log cabin and setting!!!
Fancy! (JF)
👍👍
Nice job on the posts!
Thanks!
Wow great job on the posts!
👍🏻👍🏻❤️
It's coming along so well with your hard work and tenacity. May I ask what happened with the neighbours land that you were all clearing and fencing off?
Thank you. The ground gets very soft in the winter and I didn’t want to make ruts by driving equipment around on it . We are about to get back to work on it very soon.
@@hickoryridgehomestead9177 Thank you so much for your response. It is very much appreciated. From the UK
😯👍👍👍👌
Damn nice work, what bolts did you use to attach those tree trunks to the stairs?
They are 1/2” lag bolts
If they wanted it done faster they should have came and helped you, you have worked so hard on building this house, and I’ve noticed you haven’t felt to good at times when you were working, hope your family appreciates your hard work.
🇳🇱👍👍👍👍👍🍀
Hi brother you can only do one thing at a time You have been building this Homestead by yourself For a long time some people I’ve got no idea if they will stop whingeing and come and give you a hand instead of saying stupid stuff like that cliff from Logan city Queensland Australia
Are you planning on skirting the house?
Yes we will be skirting with stone or stone veneer .

The bigger beams gives the railing a nice touch to the cabin. Looking good. Stay safe
