I like that you made the ceiling walls and floor all different colors. I think they all compliment each other really well
I was worried it would be "too much" color, but they all play very nicely together :)
It's coming together swimmingly
First time viewer and for someone who put their first floor down I say it looks fantastic you did a great job. Good for you for taking that job on.
Thankyou, and thanks for stopping in!
Tarpaper is used on roofs
Darn Suzanne, for being raised in the city, you really have what it takes. You're amazing. Also, your video gets an A+. That said, I would have added some deck screws between the nails. I had to do that on my deck floor boards to keep the nails down. I got tired of them creeping up.
Hmm, that certainly WOULD have been a better way to go! Not sure why, but the Amish used ringless shank nails for everything, hence why they were sliding back out. And making it worse, was my heater I had set in there during the cold spring while I was working. It heated the green boards, causing them to dry faster and push out the nails :P
@@This1LifeWeLive My deck was built using spiral nails before impact drivers were popular. Every year they would work up. Everywhere I could I installed deck screws. Problem fixed. The Amish were probably using air nailers on your cabin build to save time.
Great job, I would have cut a 3 or 4 inch strip of tar paper and lay it underneath the seam. And the dark floor looks great. You can always put a light color rug down to lighten up the room.👍👍👍
Great job Suzanne, Earen and Erik, very nice👌👍🙂
Thank you! 😃
OMG! Such a nice floor. Great job..
I would love to see this project with all the electoral outlets and lighting fixtures working. Then you show the furniture in place and the WTF logo on the computer screen at your desk.
It will be a micro living tour ;D
You figure out everything . Nice job . What's next. Take care always
Damn those blue eyes against that green hoodie!
Wow!
2:03
I would of resin sealed the wooden floor so dampness couldn't get into it and that would then have given you the good surface to stick the damp proof membrane to and the fame insulation I would have used a spray tack adhesive as a spot tack because nailing it down you've now pierced the waterproof membrane so allowing dampness a way through.
All in all though you're doing a great job learning as you go 👍
Hey. I didn't see the mistake but it's good that you gave it a go without help from professionals. Give yourself a pat on the back.
Nice work Suzanne thanks for sharing
Looks great 👍 Nice work Suzanne 💪
No mistake, I didn't look close enough. Figure we're even because I nitpick the heck out things I've done. I "actually" ( your favorite word in this video 😁 )
Make a big effort to not notice any issues unless its something I'm buying!
It's really coming together nicely.
Take care!
Looks great 👍 I hate laying flooring. Nothing is better than putting in the last piece in!
LOL, well I was glad the room was pretty straight forward! Not sure how a full house would go!
Hopefully there is enough room for expansion. Not my choice of colour but not my floor!
Light Maple would have really made the room look bigger. Nice job.
It looks good. 👍
Looking good be safe
Looks great!!!!!!!!
Nice job!! thank you for sharing
It looks great. I would have run the flooring the other direction.
I think I ran it this direction as it would have had the least amount of "waste", and it would be easier to cut around the doors ;)
Nice floor,Happy New year.And God Bless you and your family.
Thankyou!
You ran the flooring the wrong direction and you should of did full board and what you cut off the end should of been first board to lay in next row. But love how the ceiling and floors compliments the walls..Great job excellent video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 God bless and Stay Safe
LOL, I had not thought of that!
from what I saw in your video from watching many yt videos of laying floor but I could also be totally wrong. 🙂
The blue stuff you laid.... should not be placed like that... offset it when laying it down...
When putting in each strip of flooring place it on an angle to help get it joined in properly... also use another piece of flooring to rubber-hammer it home to not damage the edges. Plus use a small nail gun on the bottom edge to hold it in place forever... to stop any movement or lifting up (this seems to happen heaps.. hence why small narrow nails now being used)... I probably would have done it sideways... and done it in a lighter grade to help make the room look a bigger.
I don't know that the blue foam is normally used for floor insulation, they do make special blankets you can put down to prevent squeaking and dampen noise, but most houses would have "code" insulation in the floors, what the code is for that area. But there is something I did wrong, lol, and you'll see in the next video :D
Good job , misstakes , think you shouls used a little piece of the floor board to hammer on the boards , and also dont this flor need to be glued in the joints . No complaining , think you did a great job. / Evert Sweden
Looking good.
Yep the expansion space. All is not lost though you can use one of those little saws that have a short stroke to cut it in. They remind me of a cast saw.
Nice to see Erik helping at 14:20. That foam board may have gotten up and walked away ;)
Mistake. hmmm. If it were solid T&G it would have been installed with the groove against the first wall and nailed through the tongue to hold the boards down so they can't lift and buckle. I hope that isn't the mistake with this type of floor and you aren't supposed to nail it down!
LOL!
Farm girl the cabin really looks great the maple paneling turned out awesome 👌 let's just say that there's a learning curve that applies to this job so I didn't see any thing wrong 😊thanks for sharing ❤
That cabin can be lifted onto a basement concrete foundation as a possible future project. Maybe the beginnings of that desired house but built a section at a time.
Well now there's an idea, lol! (Pulls up rug to reveal secrete floor hatch)
Absolutely beautiful n a great job you
Thank you! 😊
Awesome good job
great job
Very handy little girl to have around. You’re talented.
Hi Sue, well done your floor looks great the colour matches well the contrast between the wall and your stained ceiling. Great job xx
Why did you not get sheathing paper instead? It is cheaper, serves the same purpose without the tar.
I was poking around on several cabin forums and this is what was suggested for premium moisture barrier on board floors. It was like $20 for the roll :)
@@This1LifeWeLive You weren't wrong once the heat hit inside it will seal to the floor and the insulation on top of it.
Looks good Suzanne even though you forgot the space cut on the last boards. Take care and have a blessed weekend and I'll see you on your next vidja.
The cabin is coming along well!!
My husband bought me a shed this summer. It was supposed to be for my tools but has turned into tool and party shed. ❤️
Hahaha, I love it! Like a garage, minus the car exhaust!
Awesome job, cabin is looking great. Keep up the great work, thanks for sharing your adventure on cabin build
What a great job on that floor! The stain you did on the ceiling I just love it. It all looks great but that ceiling wow
I was going back and forth a long while on whether I liked it or not. But the final product . . . the cabin wouldn't be the same without that dark ceiling :)
Ok you have to change the ceiling.everytime I see it I immediately think it's covered in black mold yet it's the would you chose for it.Needs to be light colored like the walls.
Ok just my opinion,sorry just had to say something because to me it clashes with everything else.but it isn't like it's a main house or anything so will work.
I guess I should go back and watch that episode again to see why you chose it.
But you are a hard worker at everything you do so the kids are learning great work ethics and that's a big plus in today's world where the young adults want everything given to them and work for nothing.
Keep up the good work Suzzie Q. I remember as a kid back in the 60's & 70's everyone calling my cousin Susan Suzzie Q.
Just to explain LOL
Be safe young lady God bless 🙏
The ceiling appears much darker on camera. I had already bought the flooring when I needed to find ceiling wood, so choosing a color was a bit tricky. The ceiling boards were knotty pine, and sinc the walls were maple I didn't want wood competing for attention. Painting the ceiling white would have worked, but would have bounced too much light around, giving me migraines, lol. I'm going for a more antiqued intimate look, and less farmhouse style :)
@@This1LifeWeLive
Ok that explains it. Sorry didn't mean to be so critical of your choices but I get what your doing with it now.
I'm sure in person it looks different, cameras sometimes have a way of magnifying what we do.
You just keep doing what your doing and it's going to be nice when complete.
Thanks for your reply and explanation it helps tamp down the black mold alot 😁😉😅.
I'm kidding someone has to pick on you why not me?
Have a great day Suzzie Q 😉
Just found your channel. You had me at your doggy herd… I have a couple adventurous frenchies❤️
Nice to meet you! We actually have "frenchtons", a newer frenchie line that's 25% Boston for more energy and get up and go! They have been really good farm dogs . . don't try to eat the other animals, haha!
@@This1LifeWeLive It is very possible my little white one is a frenchton…. His energy level does not match that of a pure frenchie😂 He is an absolute goofball. He was a rescue so hard knowing…
Lol glad they don’t try to eat the other animals😂❤️
Literally loving it Suzanne 😍
Turned out really nice!
Very informative. I'm about to do vinyl plank flooring in my house right now and this video helps.
Erik did vinyl in his dad's house (looked amazing). Some are "click together", meaning no glue, no nails, they lock tight together. I had wrongly assumed that's how much modern floors were (including mine). I was wrong.
With that said, you MUST be very careful with the vinyl as the edges will snap off if incorrectly locked, or not locked tightly (snap when walking on it). He had his professionally done, and had to have one area re-done because the guy didn't snap them fully and they all broke.
It's less forgiving because of that, so go slow and take your time :) I'm sure it will look great when you are done!
Nice vid!
Gee Suzanne, after what you said the other day, I was kinda expecting many problems, I think you handled it very well, and it definitely came out great, you've done another incredible job on the flooring this time, amazing how you've transformed the shed into a cabin, an office, anything you want to refer to it as, fantastic video and job, Congratulations!
Thankyou! It went even faster the second time around ;D
You're very welcome!
You forgot the gap on the ending wall
It's there, just can't tell from that angle :)
I love the cabin floor looks fantastic sweetheart great job.
Great job!! The cabin looks great.
Would love to do that flooring in my kitchen can u go over lonalium have the old fashon thick hard wood flooring i. Rest of the house have you and aric ever been to westphalia have spme projects you might have some good ideas for. Road trip you guys might be a little over hour away have a smoked meat store in town aric would like
I don't think either of us have been over to Westphelia :)
Smoking good price in the flooring!!!! Just so ya know in case you do those kinds of floors in the future .. they do have a simple installation tool kit for that kind of flooring ( not terribly expensive) makes the job easier.. other then that.. the floor looks great on this end of the camera.. the whole cabin build looks great ..take some pride in what you have done Suzanne 👏👏👏👏👏
LOL had I bought this from a store, I probably would have noticed said tool kit! But ah well! Next time, right?
That is beautiful
The over lap will seal to it's self over time
I didn't see a mistake on the flooring but then again I ve never done flooring and watching from cell phone vs TV or monitor doesn't help. I will say I would be happy with how it turned out overall thus far. I'm sure Eric is proud of you as well. I know I would be. Can't wait til next to see the mistake , what tip to avoid doing it. Also curious as to what heating choice you went with and whether uts holding up to Michigan winter. Be safe out there and stay warm
Ugh! Heating is the WORST, lol! It's working though, but not my top choice!
Great job so far Suzanne. I need one for a man cave 🙂
Looks great great job
I want to build something like this in the back of the property so I can just retire and live in it. I never thought about tarpaper I wonder how that will work up where I’m at we’re in northern Wisconsin by Lake superior.
I would certainly do a proper floor, lol! I had been told the floor would be hardwood, but it was pine. I would have rather paid extra for plywood :P
@@This1LifeWeLive oooh that is always fun, I just need to figure out how big first
You are amazing. Tho a small space that job is hard . Up down back and forth if someone hasn't done this they have no idea. You show your skills. Plus you filmed it without a videographer so your skills surpass the majority of people.
After reading a few comments, it could ahve been done slightly different, but it still came out very nice and I was pleased with it :D
Looks great you guys did a fantastic job stay safe and warm ,think you forgot the gap on the last cuts 👍
The gap is there, I don't know why I didn't show cutting the boards and a close up of installing, but I think it was the end of the day and I was excited to see it done, lol
@@This1LifeWeLive ok dear you did a good job of it 👍
Very great building work, to me! Farm girl
Now wait a min Suzanne, you the onlyone on the west side of Mi that don't have two ft of snow, stay safe😊😊😊
hahaha, actually we only got 6" so far!
About what we have on the sunrise side!! Stay safe have a blessed day ❤️
Nice work Suzanne, the floor looks great, I'm trying to stay warm here, I have got a new job offer, I'll have to see how it goes, you still have Sassy and the other yellow cat? 🐈🐈
Good luck with your new job! Yup Sassy is still kicking around, he likes to come into the cabin in the mornings with me :) It's the Kitty Kabin . . .
Like I've always been saying, you seem to figure things out. This is YOUR little hideout so just keep doing it your way. For a female, you have been doing an amazing job. Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Stay safe, warm, and moving forward.
Hay Suz. Looks a lot warmer on the west coast (of Michigan) today. It's 17 right now in Detroit;-]
Woke up the other day it was -8, lol!
Morning sunshine!
You done a great job that never do it before
Hope you got the leak fix
Hi Susanne
This has been a very big project in the making and it looks amazing well done. One question for you Suzanne was it still cheaper with all the add on or to put your finishing touches than to buy it completed?
I think cheapest would have been 100% from scratch. Shoot, you could BUY a sawmill for $3,000, and between nails, screws and ceiling, windows and doors broke even right at $5,000 (what I paid).
Everything that I used what a rare deal. It would have been VERY difficult for a seller to have constant access to such deals and sell for what I'd put into it. Sprayfoam being the most costly of everything. I would say for everything, I'm at $8,000 (Sprayfoam was $1300).
For me personally, it's a HUGE success story, and I can see God's hand in everything. There was one point I was panicking because I realized I was out of trim and needed more, but when I looked down at the floor, suddenly there WAS more trim... and I had JUST looked down and seen only 3 pieces . . . somehow they had multiplied to 10!
There are lots of times I doubt myself, but I can sit in the cabin and see all the ways God helped me, and remember that if He believes in me, so should I!
@@This1LifeWeLive Hi Susanne
Thank you for your answer and I'm very sorry to ask that question. (Just curious) But no matter what, at the end of the day you made it the way you wanted it to look and that is all that matters. I have to say it does look amazing. Well done, take care and keep up your good work.
You guys did such a beautiful job on that cabin I'm thinking of hiring you to build one for me. hahaha Jokes aside, it truly is impressive how you learned along the way to create something so amazing! Well done!
There are definitely areas that can benefit from practice . . . such as cutting the holes in the wood for the light fixtures . . . granted it WAS hard maple and 1" thick, but some are cut slightly too large and there's a gap! I feel like know HOW to get a precise cut takes a bit of practice ;D
@@This1LifeWeLive Yep, practice makes perfect Suz but still most of the things you guys are doing your first time are so awesome! I've been a farmer country boy my whole life and have learned how to do work like that since I was little. From building/fabricating our own equipment parts to building a little milk shed...but you guys come from the city learning as you go too, and have done simply amazing! You guys are living proof that a can do attitude + hard work + awesome humor can a person can do anything and an inspiration to us all!
💗
Did you have enough room with the bottom of the doors?
just enough!
Was this factored in before you started because i always wondered that but never asked anyone.
It might be too cold for the tape
LOL, it was during summer, so it was plenty warm ;D
@@This1LifeWeLive ok
Heppy new year dear lady
👍👍
That floor is coming back up,, the foam is way to thick..and keep that extra box ,,,,and you can dremel the bottom of the walls,,,,and tuck in everything,,,I would rip out all of it,,,fill every seem in sub floor with insulation,,,little strips,,tap in with a hammer and a wide drywall spreader,,,spray foam the underside,,tape ,,or staple plastic down,,,then get the proper foam,,,it's very thin...been around flooring in one way or another for 25 years..🤓
Third first 👊🏻💪🏻
Its when what you learned here that you still use somewhere else that makes a girl shine well. If it were that easy then everyone would do it as well. I would hope that fitting a grooved thing in a slotted thing might just go natural as it relates in nature. I never went naughty there either. Its just as it should look... finished. I don't think your going to like it after a while as dark shows the muddy feet and any dirt that gets on it bad. If you like it then its just what the doctor ordered.
I definitely wouldn't want dark flooring in a house (heard lots of people complain about those issues), but for the cabin it's meant to be a pristine area anyway, so no wet paws or muddy shoes ;D
Hummmmm..
Sorry to tell you the nails will work up over time. Should have used screws.
It was Amish built, and they should have used ring shank nails ;)
I saw the mistake
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👀👀👀☕️☕️☕️👋👋👋🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Your mistake was changing your hair color, cuz you look great being a blonde.
It's the lighting.
LOL, not sure how, but it's just how the camera picks up the lighhting, and maybe from whatever shirt I'm wearing too!
