Really Digging the Scene: Cabin Fixer Upper Part 22
Вставка
- Опубліковано 28 вер 2024
- After doing a few improvements on the inside, I go out to make a long overdo renovation to the outside of my cabin. With a little music and dance, you may soil yourself! Get the dirt on my biggest project yet!
NOTE: I generally give material costs in fixing up the cabin, but not labor. For the sake of those budgeting, this cost me more than $5000 Cdn or $3700 US which included labor, disposal, material and rental.

I played this video for my 3 year old grandson who likes excavators but never has seen one actually working. He sat through this whole video and barely moved, totally captivated by the machinery and the story telling!
Oh, Chit!
The rains came.
All that digging, and you're still walking around like you've got energy!
Slim!!! Your new driveway is beautiful!!! Your cabin is beautiful!! We built our own everything and LOVE watching you build your project!! Congratulations!
Slim, you make boring construction projects so entertaining. Loved it! Well done!
LOVED this video! The backhoe ballet, delightful. The backhoe helping the truck, nice. The diesel growl of the big machinery, right up my alley. Impressed with the compactor, absolutely! And your finishing touches and hard work on the pad support, you're mind works like no other! It's ready in time for the coming winter. Looks great! I bet your neighbors like the improvements you're making to their neighborhood. Property values will go up, good for them, good for you. Thanks! 😊
I can't imagine how different that space must feel. You did a fantastic job all around.
Slim, I’m glad you got some help who brought in the big guns!! The pad you shaped, cut logs and grooved them like you would log cabin, just shows your immense skill at building anything. The cabin is looking great. I always hate for your videos to end. 💔🙏🏼🐾🙏🏼💔
There's something so satisfying about watching this.
You are so impressive the way you configure creative solutions to all roadblocks that come your way. You are in command of every situation. Your voice is so soothing I could listen to you forever. Thanks again for another entertaining video 😊
Loved the dancing machines😊 The driveway was well worth the expense and that corner build was great. Now go camping!!
That’s really incredible Slim, that took a lot of hard work to finish off your trailer pad, we are both close to the same age and I’m not sure I would have the energy to do that. Hats off to you 👍
“Mechanical ballet”… Slim you’re awesome!! 😊
That job deserves a cold snack. Well done Slim.
That certainly was a big, big job!! The cabin has come a long way since your initial purchase. Keep up the great work, enjoy!! Cheers!! 😊
You said this might not be a video for everyone, but I dug it.
The power behind those machines is amazing. Great video.
Always nice to have your trailer at your house. Good job Slim, nice improvement!!
Omg , I really needed to see something like this video tonight, your property is looking better and better and the driveway looks awesome, and I know your trailer will be so happy with it ! TY for sharing it !
Wow! We watched the whole renovation to this point over two days…amazing job Slim! Your individuality came through, and what an amazing result! Thank you for sharing this! We know this cost quite a bit to do, and there may be more things in the future, but the cost of new homes here in Sandpoint, Idaho begin at $650,000! So your cabin, though much smaller has more ambiance, and no doubt is better constructed ! And what a view!
....the rain damaged some of the work but also showed where extra drainage was needed. Enjoyed the video!
Very fancy driveway for your humble abode. Actually, it looks very functional and sensible. The dancing diggers part was cool. 😊
Your new driveway makes your property looks so nice.
I love watching work like this! I enjoy seeing you come up with solutions to problems, making use of what's on hand, making frugal choices, and doing things yourself. The cabin looks so welcoming now. I can hardly wait for the next cabin renovation installment.
This was so great to watch! Omg! Excavator pushing a stuck truck!
Slim, who doesn't love a good progress video! Thanks for your content and stick-to-it-ness attitude! A place for everything, everything in it's place. Right where it belongs.
Looking good. Making better access is a great upgrade. The cabin videos have been fun to watch. Your "fixer upper" is turning into quite the relaxing outpost.
Not too boring. I fast-forwarded a few times, but the finale was rewarding.
Your property is really shaping up ! You always overcome your obstacles Slim 👍
I really dig the new driveway Slim! And the nice part is when that soil hardens up, and those logs rot away you or whom, ever has the cabin after you can replace the logs with concrete blocks a lot easier.
Slim,you are too much with the Swan Lake ballet idea...it was perfect! And quute delightful to listen and watch that scene! How creative you are!
Not the normal Slim video but definitely a great one! Thank you for including us on the cabin build series! Truly enjoying these
Looks very lovely. You’ve done an excellent job! Big yellow preying mantis coming’ down the road.
I love watching excavators working. They are so very skilled.
I love the musical interludes for the mechanical operations.😊
Your video was very interesting.
Boy, those excavators make results happen.
As a landowner,it fascinated me!
Your project is looking great!
You will really appreciate it in your older years!
Nice job! Good to have everything tucked up together in your little corner of the world. 👍🏻
Wow what a difference , everything looks really good. It's called a labor of love!Really enjoy your videos.
Driveway and pad look great! You've sure got a lot of energy to do all that work, but I'm sure it will be worth it 👍
I'm so glad l came across your channel again. I enjoy all your adventures
Wow... that made a huge difference! Ease of access means a lot. You'll soon wonder how you managed beforehand. Stay safe SP...🕊
Bravo! Now you can hang out indefinitely at the cabin!
Woo hoo!
Pine beetles, uh oh...aren't they the pests that kill pine trees?
I love watching this kind of video. Anything improvement is a must watch.
I just love your energy! You seem so responsible, yet adventurous. I really enjoy listening to your travel videos and pretending I’m a passenger. I’ve been to some pretty cool places with you and learned alot about our history. I was however quite white knuckled during a particular hurricane!
Slim your videos end way to quickly. I absolutely love your content. That beautiful music with the excavators was brilliant. What a way to wake up here in Arizona to a Slim video, thank you.
Wow, what a huge job. Well done Slim. Looks fabulous and practical!
I especially enjoyed the “Waltz of the Flowers” interpretively enacted by heavy machinery😉
I love your cabin series and the "dirt work" was very satisfying also! Love the transformation. Your filming never disappoints!
I love it when the machines show up, means progress!
I really enjoyed this video, Slim, especially the bit of 'orchestral music'. What an improvement and wonderful timing to get it all done before winter.
I thought I enjoyed your camping series more but this cabin series has its own charm too. How satisfying to see a completed driveway!
We look forward to your videos. We love you, Slim.
So many playful moments! 😂 Those excavators do look like fun (girl toys!!!) and it seems that bug investment was well worth it. Very satisfying, too. Congrats.
$5K sounds like a GREAT price considering what they did.... it is amazing to watch the operators, they do create an amazing ballet with those massive beasts... and after watching you notch those timbers... NEXT year we will be introduced to "Log Cabin Construction by Slim Timberhead" 😂🤣😂🤣😂 The cabin and grounds are looking wonderful Slim... thanks for sharing your adventure 🙂
Great job on your drive and parking pad. Looking forward to your next post ! Thanks very much.
Great video… always enjoy them… and have especially notice your attention to detail, the background ambient sounds that you put in, excellent job!
Slim, I really like your green canoe 🛶 on your deck as a planter!!! Looks really nice! Great idea!

THANK YOU 🙏 PLUS THE TREES YOU STILL HAVE THEIR ROOTS SHOULD HOLD THE DIRT FOR YOU TOO !
Slim, you are amazing!! I know you go above and beyond to produce your videos and it is greatly appreciated. Especially this video along with your labor intensive trailer pad, wow, so impressive! Applause, applause, very well done.
Looks good Slim! You put a lot of work into that. Thanks for taking us along 👍
Hello from Pennsylvania. That was fun to watch. Thanks!
LOVE THE CAMPING, RUNNING FROM A HURRICANE MY FAVORITE, FELL DEEP INTO YOUR CABIN PROJECT, A MUST SEE FOR ME. THANK YOU
Slim, what a difference. Sometimes times you just have to bite the bullet and use the Pros. Thanks for sharing.
your sense of humour is killer! 👍🇨🇦
Slim, that looks fantastic. It looks as that will serve you well.
Most awesome improv skills on stabilizing your trailer pad. I like both styles of your videos, the camping and the cabin.
the music was a nice touch. Glad you were able to keep your sense of humor despite some delays.
Excellent job, especially on the trailer pad. And I found the video of these processes to be very interesting. Thanks for posting it.
Holy mackerel you've got an eye for photography!!!
HOLY MOLY!! What a difference!! Looks great!
Well, that changed everything. :) Looks great Slim!
I like the way that you've maximized the limited space available on your lot. Nice looking drive and pad. It will be interesting to see how the seasonal weather changes will affect everything in the long term.
Slim, you always manage to solve all problems with your inventiveness! Great work! And I enjoy your cabin construction videos just as much as your traveling videos! 👏👏👏
Very entertaining video! Why is it always fun to watch other people work? Thanks Slim the driveway looks good
Wow! Quite a project! The end result looks fantastic and I enjoyed your music choices throughout!
Slim, I sense that you abhor waste as much as I do, and those stumps might be useful for making things. Chairs, tables, most anything you can dream up, if only interesting sculpture. You are so creative you will come up with something that will fit your needs.
Unless, of course, they already took the stumps away.
Driveway looks great!!
Like you said at the beginning: A big change.
Nice to have the camper next to the cabin. Feels complete.
Nice job that you did. Keep on camping 🖖🏻 live long and prosper 🖖🏻🇨🇦
You have that cabin shaped up into the Potatoehead Resort.👍👍👍
You did an excellent job there Slim.
Wow. This video was great. Love you camping, but your cabin reno videos are fantastic.Thanks!
This is becoming a dream location. Well done!
You come a long way baby !! Looks marvelous!!!
How great. I'm having some childhood Tonka Truck flashbacks.
Awesome job, Slim! Looks good, and your camper pad is plenty big.
WOW that looks great! It was a lot of work, you will get to enjoy the new drive way for many years to come.
Who wouldn’t enjoy a dirt work video? Was great! Take care!
Thanks for sharing your hard but successful work. You are a very clever man. Good job.
Boy toy? I’d love to learn how to master that powerhouse! Skills to be in awe of that excavator operator has.🙏
Nice Slim! Now that’s a really beautiful improvement to the cabin. Those Excavators were good, being a licensed plumber and pipe fitter I worked a lot with Operators and it’s amazing what they can do in a short time! Your a very smart Man! Was glad to see that plate compactor! That pad really is nice! Thanks for sharing! Always looking for your cabin and camping videos!
Awesome video, Slim!.... enjoy your videography and "story"..... Thank you! 😊
The end result looks good, much better for you.
So happy for you. Great video. Best wishes from Ireland 🇮🇪
Very satisfying to watch. :) Safe travels, Slim!
That was really fun to watch. I wish I had your healthy joints. My knees hurt just thinking about all that work but how satisfying. Now you have everything. No home without at trailer 😂
Great video! I like how you identified a risk & took action to prevent erosion. The swan music was a nice touch! the driveway came out great. I’d like to see the drain in action from end to end.
Awe Slim, it looks really great!!❤️
You are one of the best video editors on youtube
Wow ! A lot of fun to watch . Thanks Slim.
Stellar ideas Slim. It all came together because you have the right kind of mind to see this to completion. Congratulations on a job well done. Enjoy your campout. Now figure out how to fix the under carriage of the trailer. I'm sure you'll arrive at a better solution than the company that built it. Looking forward to the next video.
Good job! And very resourceful, your cabin home is coming together nicely.
