    The hardest working man on the tube, sick but keeps on going. A true testament as said to what a man can do if he stays focused, and of course be you!! Before long there will be a very large following of your channel my friend. I can not hardly wait to see this bad boy complete.

    I've been a builder for many years and have seen quite a fair bit of sheds. The plans in ryan's package ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxB7IXYxLzb_Ichhe45zM3Im5xfEiSp9vB have some of the nicest looking sheds i've seen in a while.

    Well done mate. You've put so much work into it. Builds like this often have a team working, but you have done most of it single handed. It's a testament to your fortitude. Bloody good stuff.

    Kris, you are the fucking man. congratufuckinglations. This is approximately when i started watching and I said to myself "this will fail" but you proved me wrong and I'm still watching, waiting for you to fick up. But you don't. 3 years later you are still crushing it, getting it done, doing something awesome. You're an insparation. Thank you for posting these videos. Please keep them coming. -AP

    if your tent leaks just sleep in the house, it has a roof and 90% of the walls. it will be as wet as in the tent only no leaky roof.

      Watching these series as an adult and a parent, it's always interesting to me when young people comment. This was 3 years ago, what are you up to now, Ari? Are you still interested in this kind of thing? Do you have plans?

    When you die, you can t take it with you. That's the contribution right there. Just like all other creations. Paying it forward doesn't always need to keep to a timeframe.

    This is my first visit to your project. Agree about longer overhangs. Built a home back in the early 90's with a 3 foot overhang. Well worth the added materials.

    Man I am inspired. I like that you can build it any shape when you use this method.
    I have a youtube channel myself for outdoors and forestry and spend a lot of time on youtube and I must say this is a great movie. thanks for sharing.

    • @KrisHarbour
      @KrisHarbour  8 років тому +2

      thank you, that last log is going to be a real treat. i cant wait to star a new chapter in the build.

  • @jimmieallen201
    @jimmieallen201 8 років тому +1

    I just ran across your documentary...I am planning on building a log home in the near future and was scanning the web for techniques; both creative and time-tested (I have 15 more videos of yours to watch). What an amazing thing you've done. I can see the amount of work you've put into your nearly-completed cabin; but, I think it might be worth it once you've finished the project. In fact, with the understanding of the difficulty you have had, I am thinking to do the same process (with some modifications I can envision only because of your trial and error). No matter what, thank you for the work and effort you are sharing freely - I wish I could send you a case of beer or a bottle of spirits or something of the sort to help you get it done. Thank you again and best of luck with the completion of your project.

  • @scarcesense6449
    @scarcesense6449 8 років тому +1

    Could be just me, but how awesome is a half finished wall!?
    It produces a panoramic window space with an uneven rustic charm that opens up into nature. You just need to get a huge piece of glass to seal it off from the elements. You could even recycle a broken pane and line up the jagged edge with the logs comprising the window sill. Or, if using new materials, overlap sections of the glass with cob and/or a shortened end of a log to give the illusion of glass contoured to the opening.

    Just had your vlog pop up , I think because I’ve been looking at tiny homes. Long story but built my log home. Now starting over on off grid property.
    Really like what your doing. Helped a friend do something similar with wine bottles.
    What will you use to treat the exterior but ends of logs to prevent rot ?
    Don’t worry about wind or scratch on camera ! Your vids are brilliant !
    Good on ya mate !
    Going to go back and watch all your vids.
    Man, I just love what your doing. Watched this vid twice. !!

    Man ...you have that IT factor going on Mr. Just stumbled on to your build and ..hey I am sure I can not throw any complement at you that you haven't already heard. I live in an area called the Upper Peninsula of Michigan along Lake Superior .In this area there are old Barns ...large barns built of White Cedar cord wood that have lasted along time. I have a need for a small barn for our horses and had given the old cedar cord wood construction some thought. After watching a small portion of your build it look's like that just may be the method of build I will choose. Hats of to your drive

However now I'm going through your whole channel one by one. Honestly I don't envy what you've gone through so far but it's is looking truly amazing! I love how the cordwood is darkening with time! Keep up the good work and the videos and we will keep watching!
