Perhaps you should consider a porch to cover the front door. ??? Maybe make a small entrance room, a mud room.! Considering all you’ve achieved that is not beyond achieving now is it.?? Anyway a porch would help tremendously and allow easier accessibility with your arms full of mushrooms and shopping? Considering all you’ve done a bit more milling is not unthinkable! Perhaps the weather will be kind but you know you can do it now ! Hugs from U.K. xx
Ryan, you're a wonderful storyteller. It's impressive how smoothly your videos flow from each episode to the next. I don't know if you write, but if you did, the book would be amazing.
Just found your channel, went back and watch some previous videos your abilities to talk to the camera is astonishing! I like that you don’t use any annoying background music! Great job on your builds!
The first thing I do when I wake up Saturdays. Just love watching your endeavours unfold. So happy you’ll have a choice now. Tent or warm cozy cabin. You’re so entertaining
For someone who says that you don't really know how to build stuff, you could have fooled me cause you do a really good job.😊 👌👍. I just wish you could put out videos more than once a week. You're quite hilarious & entertaining. Stay safe out there & God bless you. Keep up the great job and keep those videos coming. I look forward to them every week.👍👍
@ 6:02 Your cameras focus was perfect, except... The mushrooms in the front. They looked like they were trying to do some kind of extra dimensional thingy. Anyone else see it?
I’ve been a carpenter since high school. I’m old n 55 now still hammering. I think your work is truly amazing. Appreciate the dream you are living. Hope to live that same lifestyle soon. On the mushroom subject. Are there any birch trees up there producing the Chaga mushroom (Inonotus Obliquus ) super medicinal. Reduces inflammation etc. Thanks for sharing with us.
Couple of suggestions.. Although your siding looking awesome, maybe in the future only route the top and sides. This would provide a ledge to shelter the board below from the rain or moisture running down the side. Maybe build a porch or airlock on front of the new cabin to help protect your entrance. Also great job, love it.
Hi Ryan: Your everlasting enthusiasm and industry, growing your one-person village, is keeping a lot of us oldies alive! One suggestion for your new Cabin, to keep your floor completely dry, a roofed Mud Room entry over the steps! OZBRIQ, Bob 85 in our W.A. = Australia.
Wow! Glad I stayed up! New subscriber about 2 weeks ago, and loving the channel! I LOVE the mountains. I live in northern Utah and live on the foothills of the mountains. Totally get why you like nature so much! Edit: The blue on the wood is actually a fungus staining the wood (microbiologist, immunologist and virologist here)
Nice! Hated when the video was over. Impressed as always. Thanks for letting me come along on your adventure! I love that you love the cold weather. Too cold for this ole Florida girl.
I was recommended this channel and gave it a shot because it was some outdoors, cabin building, etc. I haven't commented until now after watching many videos as it was on the tv. I love so much about your channel and it is an inspiration to to get out and build and tackle things on your own. Cut and and make lumber. And although maybe your story was told early on (I'll have to go back to early days), I love the idea and in time will likely go live off grid. My father built a robust cabin that would just need a few more creature comforts but the rest like showers etc can be done like you have done. Most of all I love when I come across a person who appears to be more like the person I am working to be. Thank you for the videos.
Building is coming along Great. Maybe you can add a small front porch or overhang to the cabin Ryan. This would Help you keep the weather off the front door and steps. If you make a porch you could have a place to set and watch the world go by !
I love what you've done and now you won't need to be cold anymore and you can sit and watch nature in comfort 😊 Thank you very much for sharing this latest episode of how to build a cabin by way of creative means 😊
Good morning from Cornwall England. How about a porch over the door, so that you can remove your wet gear before you enter the cabin. Thanks for another great video.
I’ve been enjoying the build and really like the look closed in. One thought regarding insulating the floor. Have you considered putting insulation under the existing floor. You appear to have enough room to get underneath. Then you would have a more solid finished floor once you put it directly on top of the subfloor, and you wouldn’t need to raise the door and header. Anyway, keep it keep’n on!
Typically to set/install the front door, the interior wall covering (drywall, T&G planks or ur rough sawn planks) is usually in place. Then u align the interior door jamb with that finished wall. Then the outer jamb/trim is set with the outer wall covering/brick mold trim. That’s how it’s usually with conventional construction/Door setting. But ur style is more magnificent than any old “conventional wisdom”. Love the channel. I’m building out a 16x40 Pre-made shell in East Texas. I know, I’m a looser. No guts, no glory like the Ringwormer! 😊
The house wrap around windows I sure hope Bob Vila don't watch that otherwise there could be a funeral in Florida with ole Bob being buried face down. Enjoy watching this build drinking cheap gas station coffee & smoking legal Michigan weed on my Saturday mornings✌
Hey Ryan, been following for sometime now. Even went and watched your old vid’s. Your place has come along way since the beginning. Enjoy your projects, weird humor, especially with Tito. Great nonsensical content. 🤣
Greetings from Tehachapi CA, I truly appreciate your Vlogs. Keep them coming, I watch weekly. You've been inspirational these past two years (Pandemic) 😷😕😉🤗😇 Best Regards, TTFN, Cheers
You should be very proud of your craftsmanship on your new cabin it’s beautiful I can’t wait to see it all done cozy and warm and maybe a dog living in it with you you need a dog brother you can’t be accused of talking to yourself when you have a dog
Wow FANTASTIC build but dang have to wait for the next video to see the door installed and temporary steps LOL Great Job for sure. Love the wood as well. God's blessings.
Heartfelt post for a swell guy. You're absolutely inspiring! No kidding, you're living my dream. I'll be on your tail soon, in a different way (more expensive) but you have convinced me to dig my heals in. I had my knees replaced a year ago and can't do the physical part you do, so buying a band saw mill. I'm not only looking to build my camp(s) but make the mill pay for itself. That'll be future vids on my channel of course. Speaking of vids...your "just do it" attitude/vid has also inspired me. I do a lot of day to day stuff that may seem mundane but practical to a lot of folks, and look forward to producing vids 1/2 as good as yours with 1/10th the content. Hopefully I'll get 4 or 5 followers. I'm not in this for the money, but more to document my life for those after me. Fantastic job man. Binge watched every video over 10 days...yea that's a lot of watching.
If you're going to insulate *above* your subfloor, I'd recommend what I call waffle framing. If you use 1-1/2" thick foam slab insulation (polystyrene = R6; blue foam board = R7.5 (25% better) you can cut your foam slab into three pieces 16" wide and have zero waste. Run your first layer of 2x2s perpendicular to your floor joists and have something solid to nail into. Lay the foam slabs *and* added 2x2s at the same time so you don't have to stuff the insulation in later. Once the first layer is down, run the 2nd layer perpendicular to the first layer and your only energy nosebleeds (solid wood is only R1 per inch) will be that little square where the 2x2s touch the first layer. This makes a much warmer floor (with potential of R12 to R15) and your flooring can be attached to the top layer of 2x2s. :)
so this is like the 3rd time ive watched this twice on my tv . cant comment there so i watched again lol . man looks beautiful . you know when you pointed out the door way and worry of mud and stuff if you made a small porch mud room that would solve the problem . just a small room to take off boots and out side wet gear . before you come in the cabin . and it would look nice im sure . would be a little more work but thats what you do . but it sure looks nice with all the siding up and windows in great door cant beat the steel doors . great job buddy .
I just saw an ad for teak wall treatment with strips of wood I think you could do with all those tiny strips of wood you have trimmed off. Like a feature wall inside. Wow
Ryan you are something else !!! Missed you since last 2 weeks you have done a lot !!! Am getting sleepy even though I took a nappy !!! Ryan you got to get it going faster hahaha I know Rome wasn't build in a day haha !!!
Hey have you thought about building a case over the water tower & insulate it that way the water won't freeze throughout the winter months for showers?
We had the same problem on one wall . Hooked up my 8000 lb winch and tried to move it but in the end we decided we could live with the bubble just touching the line. Cabins looking great.
Hey I'll come back and watcht the rest here in a little bit! But I just wanted to say, the way you're building is right, the windows look great! Keep up the good work and looking forward to the next one
I love your newest building.. I am really enjoying watching your building adventures on UA-cam. Enjoying life as you do is a rarity in this world of ours , so plz never lose the spirit of exploration in construction.. Stay safe ..
Great build. Now about that door way . Have you considered linoleum , just at the entrance way. You sure have an imagination. Your narration and explanation , is fun to listen to.. keep up the good work . Stay safe.
Sweeeet! CABIN IS LOOKING AWESOME.... Just enjoy your vids so much! Your sense of humor is great to hear! I appreciate that you can do what you want when you want, way to go Ryan! I forget the name of your girlfriend but, she has a gem. Till next week stay safe 💚
As always awesome job. Soon you will be living in a wonderful cabin. I too can,t wait to see you finish the inside. Take care my friend a nd be well. Will be watching for more of your talents to take shape!! Bob Bitchin!!
May I ask why you are not considering crawling underneath to insulate and wrap it in plastic? I've done this before with great result. Btw, beautiful cabin you've built yourself.
So close to having outside walls: ✅ finished👍 Looks GREAT!!! Your going to be so comfortable this winter.. N Better get your insulation to the cabin:easy install👍 Keep up your talented construction and work ethic👍See u next weekend!! B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦
The design as you go process is fascinating to watch, I can almost smell the brain cells cooking, smell-a-vision would really enhance the quality of your videos! 😂

He said I don’t have anybody to play with but at least I would win 😂😂😂
I understand that ‘playing with yourself’ can lead to Blindness (or was that Hairy Palms).
Love to see a porch and deck on front so you can sit and shoot stuff. Anyway awesome job.
We NEVER GET ENOUGH RINGWORM!! NEEEEEVVER! LOL loving the cabin build buddy.
You are so entertaining! You make my Saturday mornings so enjoyable.
Awning over the door would be a nice touch
Covered deck!
The first thing I do when I wake up Saturdays. Just love watching your endeavours unfold. So happy you’ll have a choice now. Tent or warm cozy cabin. You’re so entertaining
I just love your channel. So refreshing to see how "commen sense" (so lackng today) is used to solve problems.
You could use some of your roofs to collect rain-/snow water. A wood gutter costs next to nothing.
No-one really uses gutters here in the UP. They'd just get ripped down the first time a few feet of snow comes sliding off.
Morning coffee and Ringworm.... sounds good to me! If you ever need a cup, swing on by southern Ontario! ;)
How about a little landing where you could clean your wet muddy boots up outside. Maybe a cute little farmers porch.
Well Rayn it's coming along nice cannot wait for the next video be happy be safe and take care of yourself
i can never get enough of the worm. The Worm is spice, The Worm is Life.
For someone who says that you don't really know how to build stuff, you could have fooled me cause you do a really good job.😊 👌👍. I just wish you could put out videos more than once a week. You're quite hilarious & entertaining. Stay safe out there & God bless you. Keep up the great job and keep those videos coming. I look forward to them every week.👍👍
Looks fantastic! The front looks very whimsical with the opposing angles 🚀
This cabin might be a true life saver. You need a place in case of emergency.
It looks neat anyway!
@ 6:02 Your cameras focus was perfect, except... The mushrooms in the front. They looked like they were trying to do some kind of extra dimensional thingy. Anyone else see it?
I’ve been a carpenter since high school. I’m old n 55 now still hammering. I think your work is truly amazing. Appreciate the dream you are living. Hope to live that same lifestyle soon.

I appreciate his use of PPE while working alone and isolated.
Couple of suggestions.. Although your siding looking awesome, maybe in the future only route the top and sides. This would provide a ledge to shelter the board below from the rain or moisture running down the side.

Goodmorning from alabama. Always glad to be here. Love the chainsaw mill work.

Nice! Hated when the video was over. Impressed as always. Thanks for letting me come along on your adventure! I love that you love the cold weather. Too cold for this ole Florida girl.
Oh yah I like the way you put the wood siding on a little bit wonky,anyone can build with uniform lumber but takes a artist to build like this.
I was recommended this channel and gave it a shot because it was some outdoors, cabin building, etc. I haven't commented until now after watching many videos as it was on the tv. I love so much about your channel and it is an inspiration to to get out and build and tackle things on your own. Cut and and make lumber.

And maybe a deck...
A screen porch or a four season porch with a wood stove.
Chalk the vinyl windows then nail in with roof nails.
I love what you've done and now you won't need to be cold anymore and you can sit and watch nature in comfort 😊
Thank you very much for sharing this latest episode of how to build a cabin by way of creative means 😊
Good morning from Cornwall England. How about a porch over the door, so that you can remove your wet gear before you enter the cabin. Thanks for another great video.
I love watching you amuse yourself. Has it occurred to you, that you seem really happy. That is pretty great watch. Thank you.
Looking good buddy 😎👍👍🇨🇦 can’t wait to see what you do to the inside
I’ve been enjoying the build and really like the look closed in. One thought regarding insulating the floor. Have you considered putting insulation under the existing floor.

I think the slightly askew siding on the front wall is perfect. It looks great! Make it up as you go.

So happy for you. You got it done before the heavy snow comes. You are going to enjoy this cabin so much!!!
Love the cabin! Thanks for your videos.
The house wrap around windows I sure hope Bob Vila don't watch that otherwise there could be a funeral in Florida with ole Bob being buried face down.
Enjoy watching this build drinking cheap gas station coffee & smoking legal Michigan weed on my Saturday mornings✌
I saw you on TV today. Nice work. Congratulations. You are living your dream
Great looking cabin its going to great for U in the winter time.
I must say your good at making something from nothing! Looks good
God given talent
That cabin is BEAUTIMUS!

Wow FANTASTIC build but dang have to wait for the next video to see the door installed and temporary steps LOL Great Job for sure. Love the wood as well. God's blessings.
You don't need to vent anywhere but into your attic space on your gable ends.
Looks great, keep up the good work!
Heartfelt post for a swell guy. You're absolutely inspiring! No kidding, you're living my dream.
I'll be on your tail soon, in a different way (more expensive) but you have convinced me to dig my heals in.

Love the front of the cabin. You are doing an amazing job on your tiny cabin. Pat yourself on the back.
If you're going to insulate *above* your subfloor, I'd recommend what I call waffle framing. If you use 1-1/2" thick foam slab insulation (polystyrene = R6; blue foam board = R7.5 (25% better) you can cut your foam slab into three pieces 16" wide and have zero waste.

This makes a much warmer floor (with potential of R12 to R15) and your flooring can be attached to the top layer of 2x2s. :)
Clever!
Looks great. The front turned out better than I pictured.
so this is like the 3rd time ive watched this twice on my tv . cant comment there so i watched again lol . man looks beautiful . you know when you pointed out the door way and worry of mud and stuff if you made a small porch mud room that would solve the problem . just a small room to take off boots and out side wet gear . before you come in the cabin . and it would look nice im sure . would be a little more work but thats what you do . but it sure looks nice with all the siding up and windows in great door cant beat the steel doors . great job buddy .
Woohoo! Well done Ryan. See you next weekend.
this looks like one of your most productive weeks at Ringworm !!! till the snow comes LOL
I've been building my hole life and I live off grid... love watching you do your thing...
The routing of the boards looks fantastic. Really professional looking. Love it.
Agree... that really makes a difference. 😃
You're doing a wonderful job I could never do that job
Keep knocking it out 👍🏼
Great job, Ryan. Really enjoy watching you figure things out. always look forward to your videos. Greetings from the Arrowhead.
Looks Great! And You make Me Laugh! Thank You❤
I just saw an ad for teak wall treatment with strips of wood I think you could do with all those tiny strips of wood you have trimmed off. Like a feature wall inside. Wow
There are many views on how to cut and staple house wrap around windows. What you did is one of the (many) standard ways of doing it.
Home is looking great. Almost ready for a dog.🎉
It’s exciting to see it coming together. You are blessed.
Maybe add A welcome mat for the door?
You could also add a little awning roof above your door -- slope it the same pitch as your roof and it should look good. :)
Homemade gang rip saw would be a fine addition to The Worm.
That siding is freaking awesome..also maybe tongue and Grove the floor planks would hold up better maybe
Great job of installing windows by yourself!
Like your videos
Great job Ryan.
Like the Hellraiser movie with all those nails sticking out.
Looks so good!! I like the front, it's character.
Ryan you are something else !!! Missed you since last 2 weeks you have done a lot !!! Am getting sleepy even though I took a nappy !!! Ryan you got to get it going faster hahaha I know Rome wasn't build in a day haha !!!
Love that bevelled edge you routed on your siding.
Congrats! Another great video…I mean interesting video…mmm, I mean that along with another entertaining visit to the Ringworm! 😎👍
Looks amazing!
Hey have you thought about building a case over the water tower & insulate it that way the water won't freeze throughout the winter months for showers?
That router work on the siding looks amazing
It’s looking fab , can,t wait to see what you do with the inside
Wow amazing like the Cabin, can’t wait till the next video. 👍🏽
Hello from the Netherlands.
thanks for the video Ryan .
Sincerely, Hollandduck
We had the same problem on one wall . Hooked up my 8000 lb winch and tried to move it but in the end we decided we could live with the bubble just touching the line. Cabins looking great.

Number of subscribers had been going up a lot lately! Well deserved. Look forward to each new episode!
Very good work it looks very nice you have done a very good job so keep up the good work I can’t wait until it’s done and you get inside God bless
May I ask why you are not considering crawling underneath to insulate and wrap it in plastic? I've done this before with great result. Btw, beautiful cabin you've built yourself.
Hey man...great build ! You can insulate from the bottom, between the floor joists. Then you can just sand your floor. Just a suggestion.
