In this episode, we start installing our sink faucet, water filtration and plumbing systems. After testing it out, we realized our ceramic filter was broken, so we had to wait another week to have clean, running water. In the meantime, we get to work building shelves in our kitchen, both under the counter and above the counter on the wall. Next, we install some gutters on the eaves of the cabin. This is the first step of our future rainwater collection system. We returned with a new ceramic filter and were thrilled to find out everything worked perfectly this time. We officially have clean, running water! One last task we do in this episode is to install some curtains to cover the shelves under the counter. We opted for curtains instead of bulky wood doors because they add color to the cabin, are easier to open and close, take up less space, and ended up being cheaper to make. We made these curtains ourselves by sewing fabric to shape, then snapping in grommets. We are super happy with the final result and are quite impressed with ourselves since we've never sewed anything before.
Welcome to our channel! This Log Cabin Project is a dream that we have had for several years that we finally decided to make a reality. Our goal is to build a tiny log cabin from scratch using as much material from our land as possible. We are building it entirely using hand tools (no chainsaw!). This cabin will function fully off-grid and will be only accessible by foot. Subscribe to follow our journey!
We are learning a lot as we are doing (as always), so don't hesitate if you have any questions, it will be a pleasure to share tips and tricks, if possible.
Wnen one person gives and tries... great things happen. When two join ... Miracles happen!
You guys would make your work much easier by making a workbench with a vise. I just noticed that one of you hold a piece of wood for the other one to work on it on many occasions. But I love your work.
As always, all of your tasks are done with considered thought and application. I’m glad you’ve got your gutters up, and the curtains in the kitchen area look perfect. I hope you also add the same kind of curtains on your cabin windows. They’ll look very cozy indeed. The water filtration system looks very smart. Step by step you are getting everything set up and you can be very proud of yourselves. You must be so looking forward to the snow melting away. There is so much to contend with. It’s so good to see you both doing so well. Take care, and cheers from Australia. 👏🏻🇦🇺🦘
Another Australian who has enjoyed your videos and progress . Brilliant to see you have a sponsor. Great couple who deserve every success.
Thank you so much Libby! Yes we're very excited for snow to melt (but not mosquito season) so we can start being more productive. We're also excited to move in full time and experience all the seasons in the cabin! Cheers :)
Good job Kids.......
Bonjour les jeunes quelles plaisir de vous retrouver 😂 bravo pour votre installation pour alimentation en eau, par contre pensez à rallonger le tuyau qui sort sous votre évier pour éviter de mouillé le mur et le sol un système de tuyau coulissant serait bien bravo pour votre travail ❤❤❤
Merci Phiphi! Oui c'est dans les futurs plans d'installer un tuyau coulissant :)
Looking good.
Myself and the wife just moved up north to are property. This week is tree cutting and log pealing. Videos coming soon
Best of luck! Don't burn yourselves out too quick, it's a lot of work
En vous regardant, je réalise à quel point nous sommes privilégiés d’avoir l’eau courante ! Vous êtes vraiment courageux de vous engager dans cette voie. C’est admirable 💫 Merci pour toutes ces belles images, c’était si apaisant ! J’ai hâte de goûter à votre sirop d’érable ! Je vais aussi me pratiquer à marcher en raquettes car ça semble pas si facile que ça lorsque je vous regarde 😂🤣
Hello 👋 how are you doing today god bless you🌹🌹
Love watching you building
The kitchen is looking more homey. So neat and clean. You both did a great job on the gutters too. I enjoy your videos, you at least explain what and why you are doing as your doing a job. It makes it more understanding. I really like the curtains also.
Thanks so much Cathy! 😊
You guys are so sweet and I wish you all the best in your endeavours! I’m so glad you’ve had no damage or theft from mean spirited people. Good luck in everything
Thank you Sandra! We've seen evidence of some people going near our sugar shack, but no signs of break ins or theft. Let's hope it stays that way!
Just about three hours into your building story and I am hooked. Excellent job with the construction and the video is also really captivating. Keep up the good work!
So cool you have a new sponsor! You two are really getting professional! Interesting to note that kitchen cupboards were simply open shelving until well into the 20th century. You are one up with the pretty kitchen drapes. When you are done, you will have quite the "tiny House" to live in. Where I was younger I had a large family, we raised 7 children. I always wanted big. Big house, car, everything. Now that I am older, tiny is very compelling to me. I think your cabin is amazing.
Thanks Dave! Yes we love our tiny space. Though I doubt we could fit 7 kids in here 😂 we're thinking 2 at most
You two are just simply amazing! It is difficult to comprehend your knowledge to accomplish everything that you have done! I am overwhelmed!
Really nice job on those shelves, and everything else! Always a pleasure watching you two working together! That was some crazy snow you had!
Thanks so much Dennis! Yeah the snow was almost as the gutters haha. But it's been melting like crazy this past week. Hopefully it'll be fully gone by May
It’s very exciting seeing you too working on the final touches of your new home, a beautiful cabin.
Thank you.
Thanks Richard!
Hello 👋 dear how are you doing today 🌹🌹
I adore the simplicity of your designs. Curtains instead of doors. Great stuff
Thanks so much! 😊
Great content Y’all. I continue to be amazed and impressed by your ingenuity and your craftsmanship as well as your attention to details. Blessings.
My husband and I are so happy we found your youtube channel. We love the way you two communicate without any words spoken. Your cabin is wonderful! Thank you for your entertaining videos. Oh, btw our great grandchild wants to know if you have a dog. (She is 7) 😊
Great jobs well done!!!👏💜 I appreciate that you show us how to do them and bring us along for the ride! So many things to think about when building from scratch. Keep up the amazing work.
Thank youu!! 🥰
Go old school with your water filter. Chalk moss charcoal sand. You could off grid your own
Superrr !
The Best !
Wow. The snow is so deep you can put up eve troughs without a ladder😂😂
That counter top is the best.
Awesome stuff
You two are fantastic. The was that you work together is a real joy. So glad that I found you on UA-cam.❤
That's a lot of work and well done you,,,,I hope you enjoy your build for many years to come.
For water, you can be amazed when you checked out "ram pump". It is very easy to setup and it requires no power.
Awesome craftsmanship as usual! Thanks for sharing!
Hi from New Zealand. New subscriber here. Watched all your videos to-date of your cabin build and found them fascinating - thanks for sharing love what you are achieving
Awesome, thank you Lance!
The cabin looks great but when do you two work to make a living things like food and other things like gasoline just wondering
We have savings from previous jobs and currently make money here on youtube!
You’re driving me crazy get some battery powered drills you have solar panels for your power, great job
Selten gibt so Wunderbare Junge Leutte!!!!!!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀
Nice touch,love the curtains .👏👏
I think you’ve used enough modern tools that would allow a couple of good ol worm clamps when needed. The old standing on a board to shave it doesn’t work worth a crap…..
Love your videos and so awesome to see your going to make your life in the woods, How exciting you two are an awesome team God Bless from Alaska
Thank you so much! We've been up to Alaska, it's so beautiful. We can't wait to go back!
AMAZING
You have high roofline inside the Cabin, hang a 45 gallon barrel as high as you can get it mounted, use it for water, it will give natural pressure and in summer can be filled from rain barrels using your pump! Fill it with your 5 gallon jerry cans, in winter once again using your pump to get the water up there as long is always heat in the Cabin
All the best. You Are a refreshing in this busy world. And Góð bless.
I haye those tree wells
My steed is Vicarious. I ride into your midst invisible and cloak myself with your knowledge. Sustained.
You to do awesome work keep up the good job I'll continue to keep watching I really am enjoying it
Thank you Lynette!
Just came across you channel, awesome work! I will enjoy watching your progress! Your doing what I wish I had done when I was younger. Would love living like this even now T 68.❤
Thanks Pamela! You're never too old to start ;)
Amazed by the quantity of your work. Great to watch, thanks for sharing your journey.

¿Que puedo hacer para aislar mi casa del calor?
Gracias,OS quiero.
Bonita a casa , vc e sua esposa estão de parabéns pelos vídeos...😊😊
If you burn hard and softer wood mixed tge creosote and burn will be a lot better. That's what we do.
Wow j'adore votre mini cuisine c'est adorable !!! Votre motivation est contagieuse 😊 j'ai hâte de goûter au sirop d'érable ❤
Merci Jojo!! Tu vas être un des premiers à le gouter 😁
Salam kenal my name murni from indonesia🇲🇨 menyukai canel anda berdua secara tidak langsung telah memberikan inspiratif kepada kami semoga kalian sehat dan sukses selalu Amin
Muy buena idea ,poner cortinas.
Le da un toque femenino precioso.
Aplauso!!!!
Muchas gracias, Consuelo!
You need a Long handle broom/brush!☺
Watching here in the Philippines
Hello good work on the kitchen 👍. Good day for you and take care you. 🙏
Thank you Eric!
Awesome video Rosa
Looking good teammates👏🏻
You should put also water tank to collect from snow and rain.Filter it and use it.
You have just about all the various types of screwdrivers there are, including a 'Yankee' screw driver. I'm sure you know that was developed so you could easily drive srews by simply pushing down on the handle. So why don't you use it that way when you can? You guys are doing a fantastic job on your cabin and hope you Nick have a quick recovery from your injury.

Parabens ficou otimo vcs são demais
After a lifetime of expwrimenting i would never recommend curtains for under bench . They are completely inadequate in ketping out dust, dirt, insects and small vermin. Anything left under there for a few days will have a layer of dust on it. Spiders and other insects will build nests or webs . Your wood fire will generate a heap of sooty dust residue and with it being so close to the entrance door the loose ash and dust will be stirred up everytime your entrance door moves. This is jist part and parcel okc this lifestyle but this is why i discourage the idea of curtains esp for floor level cupboards. You may choosevto ignore this advice and thats your prerogative , i am simply pasding on what i have onserved over 70 odd years.
I take nothing away from the incredibly amazing job you have done together in building this entire cabin !!! Kudos to you both for a job marvellously done, and with grace and dignity to each other.
❤muy buenos y bonitos videos gracias por compartir sus experiencias me gusta mucho la carpintería saludos de chicago Dios los bendiga siempre
La laine de verre entre les rondins à l'intérieur de la maison... Pour en avoir manipulée, ça me ferait peur d'en respirer des poussières à longueur de journée !
Tell us about keeping WARM
Be careful of the wolves because they attack en masse, and you cannot stop them. You are an ideal couple, may God Almighty protect you.
Vcs são tão caprichosos em tudo que fazem...estou encantada com o carrinho de vcs... abraços .. Brasil 🇧🇷
Things will go a lot smother if you put an on/off switch on the hammer and screwdriver. Just thinking.
How about putting one on your cabin? A bear could easily push into that door latch or a unsavoury hunter or wanderer.
👍
❤❤❤❤❤oi mais uma nova seguidora sabe porque?????? Fica facil quando voces se preocupam em transmitir pro português. E gosto muito desse tipo de conteúdo de vocês. Fazer tudo sozinhos.bjao.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Kitchen looks amazing
Thank you!!
That lock that sponsored your video looks like exactly what I need for the cabin I am fixing up. But I’m in Japan and they don’t deliver out here. 😢
Absolutely wonderful, are you going to put a hand rail on the outside steps?
Does that filter make any water safe to drink? Very interesting for sure. I'm curious how well it works out for you as I need somthing similar.
It says so on the box, so hopefully! It says it purifies lake and stream water in addition to rain and well water. Now that we have it installed, we will probably pay for a water test to make sure it's safe after filtration.
29:30 I hope a huge snow slide doesn't occur that takes out your gutters...
Wow great choice of color for the curtains!
Thank you! 😊
GOD BLESS. SORRY MY PHONE ÍS OVERRULING AND ÍS WRITING FOR ME WHAT SHE THINKS Í THINK.
I hope you changed the passcode after filming this
Nice to see the gutters up, but would the snow shedding off the roof damage them, I hope not.
We made the sure that the gutters were below the imaginary extension of the roof slope, so that any snow and ice sliding off the roof will not hit them. Let's hope it works!
!!*!! Hey guys !!*!! I think what you are missing is to find the stream with running water that doesn't freeze. Remember that running water does not freeze. From Barcelona (Catalunya) !!*!! SALUT !!*!!
In Canada, it gets cold enough even for running streams to freeze!
Всё неплохо, но вот бревна надо было делать с желобком, и сразу утеплять , ваше утепление не пойдёт, замёрзнет, и печь чтобы не забевало дымоход, надо топить берёзой. Ёлка там много смолы
It is not running water if you have to carry the water into the house. Thanks for getting a coping saw.
bu eve ne qeder pul xerglemisiz evvelden bu yere qeder
What about waterproofing
😊👏👏
Do you have water in the bathroom already? How about laundry?
We have water running to a showerhead in the tub! Laundry we still do at laundromats or friends/family
Chimney/Stove is the issue, not the wood that you burned. Stove size and outlet and chimney must be the same size..
Its too bad you didn't do just a bit more planing .if you dug a cellar under the house you would have storage for food and an ivc tanks for water catchment so that way you wouldn't have to haul water .
why are you going to get water from afar ?? There is clean snow from the ground nearby, melt it on the stove
We do that sometimes, but it takes a while to melt. Plus a full pot of snow only yields about 1L of water. Our container gets 20L at once!
Metal detactors getting airport you may need doctor note as proof for scanner cause metal in your arm have fu trip😊
👍♥️
Can I assume you will install an ice dam on the lower portion of your roof to prevent falling heavy snow or ice from ripping your gutters off?
We made the sure that the gutters were below the imaginary extension of the roof slope, so that any snow and ice sliding off the roof will not hit them
I hope guys ur dream house is still there after this big fire in Canada?
We are still quite far from the fires, and we've gotten tons of rain this past week so we're safe! Thanks for checking :)
@ glad to hear that.. Pleasure to watch ur videos and how hard workers u are. Big hug from far away 1700yo city Split Croatia.💪😘🇭🇷🇨🇦
hi guys totally how many days from start to finised and become beautiful hause ? 💪 good luck God Bless.🗯
Are you two planning on having any kids? If so where will they sleep?
Оооо!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Sou do Brasil não folo inglês,tem como traduzir um abraço.
ciao ciao👋👋
One suggestion. You have no fresh air coming to your stove to heat from outside. Now you are spending your warm air within the cabin and that is not Good. There could possibly be a lack of oxygen to breathe during Long winter nights. 🍀🍀🍀. Change stove please. No oxygen could be dangerous.
Will those gutters be strong enough to hold up to ice dams, etc.?
Probably not.......
Will see!
