    Excellent Job on the stairs and bathroom. You do need a mirror in the bathroom for your beautiful wife and daughters. I love how the whole cabin is so rustic, keeping in style with the location. One thing I would add if you have the room is a shelf so you can store soap and towels in the bathroom. Just a thought. Your cabin is so beautiful and it goes without saying that, it is such a great achievement for one man to build. A family paradise for sure.

      When you do your bedroom addition (off the dining room & bathroom side of the house) Use the wall on the left as you enter to make a linen closet for your towels, etc., for the bathroom. The rest of that wall you could use to make your clothes closet. (EVERY woman needs a clothes closet...LOL ♥)

      The usual beautiful, excellent craftsmanship. I'm obviously not a pioneer woman. The bathroom would be an essential. And until the bedroom was finished, a bed, next to the bath, instead of the dining room table. Yep...a scaredy cat. The loft would too risky in the middle of the night.

    Thank you for showing the bathroom build today. I’ve watched your channel since your first cabin build. The building is my favorite thing. While I understand the need to share your knowledge of prepping and other self reliance skills, I’m really happy to see that you haven’t stopped sharing your craftsmanship. It’s very motivating to me to watch your skills at work. - Willa Campbell, Iowa

    As a Kid I loved that 3AM walk to the outhouse, especially during winter. I'm 80 years old and I remember doing it in rural Texas. Temps in the 20's or thirties were bad enough. Expedienced 30 Below in Korea, So I have some idea. Love your talent and Creativity.

    James, as a cityslicker, It,s hard for me me to imagine the lifestyle and living you've chosen for yourself and those you love, however, i've been glued to your channel from the very beginning in your off grid, R A W lifestyle. At me age (76), it would not be a choice for me, however at an earlier age I might have taken the plunge.
    As your project evolves, it amazes me how you use the environmental resources to make the project more 21st century Than most. Indoor plumbing, bathtub/shower, heating, ventilation and sooo many other creature comforts. It's mind boggling to me how you work around the rustic hurddles to make this work for you and your family. You're amazing !
    I hope that in the future, I can help in anyway, to further, assist and support your vision, plans and dreams for a better, more sustainable life for mankind. You are just amazing James. AMAZING ! ! ! ! !

    Hello Sir, I really do hope you are able to read this comment. I have recently been watching you. And I have subscribed to your channel.. I listen to everything you say. I am 62 now, but I have always wanted to live a life as you do. And living vicariously through you, or gathering information on how you do things…To maybe help somebody else in something that I have learned from you. my point is you have been blessed, I am not envious of your life, I am grateful and thankful, for you and your family. It brings me joy to watch you, and although I am older, and I may never be able to be where you are, I am still gathering your information. Still enjoying every moment of all your hard work. And thankful that there are still people in the world like you. may the Lord bless you and your family. And I mean that with all my heart.❤
    I am thankful that you are such a wonderful man. And truly happy for you and your family.
    For me .. I find joy and peace in your videos.. and I look forward to them.. bless you, sir..

    @hyselwatchandclockrepair1874 10 місяців тому +11

    Additionally note: at my older brother's primitive house in northern Michigan he had an old hand turn auger that was 5-6' long and a little bigger than his well drive tip and we used it to drill through the difficult layer with small rocks and roots and then dropped in the drive end screen assembly contraption and drove it to the depth he wanted. That's been many years ago but I am sure if you know any blacksmiths they could wrap you a nice spiral cutting edge around a 15mm shaft that has a hammered tip on it and you could auger through the hard pack. I have passed all my blacksmiths tools and forge down to sons and grandchildren.

    We had a ladder like that leading to our attic. One day we got a call from the kids who used to live in the house before us, asking if they could see the house again since they were in the neighborhood. It was the sound of the ladder coming down that triggered most of their memories of their mom, who had since passed away. Just seeing the ladder you installed conjured up all these memories of 50 years ago.

    This maybe is a funny extra to comment on, but I appreciated that you and your wife still prefer to use the outhouse- that the inside compost toilet is a convenience for visitors who might want a 'little more convenience and comfort.' I am 65, and up until I was four years of age, our family only had an outhouse. I thought that having to use an outhouse would be a hardship, but my father continued to use the outhouse into his later years. Now when I see what raw sewage is doing to the world, I wish that everyone would do their part wherever they can. Your natural way of living is an inspiration. You have all the comfort you need or want, but at the same time you are doing what you can to live in harmony with the environment.

    Shawn, that high gloss and that live edge with the copper sink is amazing. Impressive craftsmanship.

    i see what you mean abut how the stairs look ... a rebuild later after some thought into a more rustic look would be a good idea ... perhaps edges of logs for the treads ... and sawmill boards for the flats you need ... keep it lighter than the walls so it stands out when it's down .... save a had knock or two then ;)
    .
    dont forget one thing ... plan for living in it now ... but make plans knowing you will be living in it in much later life ... cover your bases now for later .... be looking forward to the days of less mobility
    that birch log you stripped would make an excellent timber to rebuild the bedroom stairs from ... light and looks awesome ...
    use your ice auger to predrill the sand pump hole ... insert sand pump in the cavity and backfill with sand ... you have an extension for the ice auger I assume ... you should be able to get a good 6 feet down with that ...
