I've just now found you and your channel and have subscribed. Hard to believe you've had the channel since 2008 and I'm only now discovering you and your wonderful content. Thoroughly enjoyed this visit and look forward to more - your Christmas Special for sure! Allison plays a mean harp - amazing clarity of such an exquisite sound from those strings. I admire your spirit and the way you've carved out such an outstanding way of being - since the age of 16 - a mere boy. Thank you and I wish you and yours the merriest Christmas and blessings throughout the Holiday Season..
Thank you so much. I only recently (spring 2022) started building the channel as you see it. From 2008 until spring 2022 I only had 35 or so subscribers. The channel is as result of my transformation. I’ll send the word on to Allison, and the blessings of an amazing Christmas right back to you.
There are a lot of "experts" out there Jerry, don't pay attention to them. You be you and let them be them. Love what you do and really appreciate you letting us be part of it. God bless!
Jerry , you're a very talented man and don't let the negative comments get to you. You've "over built" a lot of things on your cabin and that's great. It's how things last a long time , I believe in over building everything , I have a tendency to do that on things I make. People tend to be critical of you because they don't know your whole story and jump to conclusions. Follow your heart and stay true to your work and beliefs.
You have no reason to let criticism bother you. Armchair engineers are worth what they are paid! YOU, sir, are a straight-up genius. Your project is so awesome to those of us who know the benefits and brilliance of living in a cabin. The thermal advantages of lovely thick log walls, they're blessed quiet-ness that. until one lives in a cabin like this, they have no idea how special it can be. Just so beautiful and fulfilling! Enjoy it- you have a precious gift. ❇
No apologies needed! You are crafting what you want so you don't go into tons of debt. I love the setup of the bathroom/laundry! My Dad was born in 1918 and was a carpenter. I can just imagine how he would have been so impressed with the cabin! Those thick beams and fireplace are beautiful.
Alot of hard work there.. but, so wonderful of you to share what your doing.. Beautiful, there is a special place in my heart for the old. Thank you Sir..
I really appreciate how you get your thoughts across,in words,you are a VERY talented teacher ❤️ 👏 I was side by side with my husband for 25 years ,while working, he could do anything and everything in between, 😊I also loved the way he taught, even the way someon holds a hammer says a lot ,he ,like you lives for the lord ,and father made him ABLE, I look forward to the video comming i appreciate you and everyone involved 💙 thanks Jerry 😊
Love the video....not any people are willing to share the personal depth of the home & lives. Your home is absolutely beautiful and amazing💕 thank you for sharing. love you are an old soul at heart...(as I like to call to call it ) we share much of the same interests love the history and the older ways of life💕💕💕💕💕
Thanks Jerry. It looks great and now I understand the whole concept. What a wise man you are indeed. My mom had a ringer washer when I was little I would help her put stuff through the ringer good memories
Howdy Brother- great video. When I first saw your fireplace I knew it was sitting on a solid foundation. Our fireplace is stone also and it’s sitting on a nice footing. Take care and God’s blessings to you
This is the best set up, old with the modern. I love the cabin but the other side gives you great space, toilet, washer and dry, fridge, practical things that make this a liveable space for years to come. Very clever. Super happy for you.
I have finished this video and have loved your channel since I found you within the last year. I love your cabin and that you have outstanding skills. I believe that you have outstanding character to have taken on the responsibility you have since age 16. The harp music by your friend is absolutely beautiful and will catch up on your videos following. Thank you for sharing your life experiences. Best wishes for a Happy 2023.
You are trying to show how this all came together and your journey and no misperception of your home and how you got there . This is your vision and your journey thank you for sharing
I know right. He’s my daughters but he has made his way into my heart for sure. The old part of the house will kinda stay as it is other than finishing it. Floors, doors, trim. That is unless my daughter gets married and moves out but we don’t see that in the future.
Perhaps a eternal candle burning in the upper chamber with a small old white porcelain pan with water warmed by the candles flame. Keep the home fires burning. You remind me of my Millers.
Jerry I wouldn't let anybody bother you there's always going to be ignorant people ...there's always going to be people who are jealous about what you accomplished.. and ,there's always going to be people that have no lives of there own so, they try to live yours.. chalk it up to a learning experience and know that you did a great job.. and move on and keep doing what you're doing.. love you log cabin!!
Hey Jerry, how old is that washing machine my grandparents had one similar to it when I was a baby in the early 1970s. Very neat I have a HE washer and I agree it does not get clothes very clean lol. I also love the craftsmanship you put in to building your cabin. I hope to one day build one for myself. I like old cast-iron wood burning stoves and antique oil lamps. They come in handy when the power goes out.
Thank you for your transparency in sharing your entire home. Love your bathroom, we are in the process of redoing ours back to 1910 era with indoor plumbing. We have a clawfoot tube, and the vanity is going to be an antique mirror type dresser with a hand hammered copper (my husband will forge it himself) sink. We have the old 1940's cast iron sewer line to replace and will do so all the way out. I also have two Maytag wringer washers and are our only washer machines, we line dry and in winter use wooden drying racks my husband built around our wood cook stove. We love the old ways but will also add we like running water and sewer as well *wink* Looking forward to your special on the 21st.
I will definitely tune into listen to your friends play Christmas music ! God Bless them ! You are a wonderful dad! I love the loft answer for kitty cat. Don't let unhappy, jealous people judge you. You can keep your private life private. If I had the time and talent to do what you have accomplished I would be trilled. But I don't have the talent or skill set to accomplish such an original cabin concept. You are wise and prepared for the future ! Which everyone needs to decide what kind of cabin they would like to build. You have a very wonderful home set up. Many thanks for home tour.
Your welcome and thank you for the kind words. Yes, the girls are very very blessed with all they do. As for those other people At first those people bothered me but then I realized I could just block them from the channel. So I do, but only if they are really bad.
This Channel is an absolute gem! Thank you so much! You've got golden hands! Can't wait to see your new videos! If you have a firearm collection, please make a video about it. Have a blessed day!
I just came across your channel tonight, my Dad built his cabin and just passed away, I truly think it was a sign that I came across your videos, blessings!!!
Lavender and the harpist by the fireplace, great Christmas card photo. Looking forward to your special video! BTW, how many yards of concrete did you use??
Such an inspiring dude you are. Keeps me motivated to end up like this one day. With the way the worlds gone and the economy is going it’s prob the best bet for most people to be as self reliant as possible. Hope your doing well and have a great Christmas !
Thank you for your honesty. I too thought your cabin was completely pioneer primitive. At least you're not portraying yourself as something you're not.
your daughter must love having friends over, i know i would if i had a house like that. Btw, are the windows double paned, to help insulating the place.
What are your tattoos of? My father carried a tattoo of my mother and a eagle on his arm. He got those while he was serving in the US Army. Back in the 52 55 era
See it’s just my daughter and I and we don’t care about it. I always think about the things I do care about. Like the cost of new furniture is the same amount as being on vacation for 3 months. Fishing, working around the cabin, drinking coffee unto 10am. That’s more me
I've been waiting to see past the cabin LOL Do you think there will be a day when the whole place will look like the cabin, or will it always be separate and different? I noticed the wall on the left of entering the hall is chinked but the little space to the right is not chinked yet, when you do that chinking will or can you show us? I have a wall I would like to add cedar to but don't know how to chink and would like to learn. I just love your space in this world. Thank you for sharing!!
Yes, I have two spots that need some chinking. I will definitely do a video when the time comes. As for the rest of the house, I’m just not sure what all I will do on the inside. Now the outside will get a facelift for sure.
@@logcabinlifestyle I will look forward to the chinking. Not many people have the skills to make this kind of dream come true. God has blessed your hands for sure.
I've watch many of your videos. You're a great handyman adventurer pioneer. However, why do you have a such a beautiful dog and never really give her much attention? I mean come one dude. It's obvious you prefer cats so you should rehome the dog to a more loving environment and have your fun with your cats like a cat lady.
That’s funny and very typical for UA-cam. I don’t even like cats, and lavender is my best friend. You shouldn’t judge people based on what you see in a UA-cam video. Kinda the reason I haven’t shot a video in a long time.
Anadaker its obvious that if u have no clue what ur talking about u shouldn’t say anything. That dog gets more attention than most kids I know. Hell lavender doesn’t even consider herself a dog, she’s more like a human part of our family. So before u come on here acting like a Karen know ur facts or rehome urself to someone’s else’s videos if u want to judge people
@@ConnieTyson-l3o I’m sorry did I hurt your feelings? Are you going to cry now? Anyway, If the dog is loved like you say she is then that’s all I needed to hear and I will assume you’re telling the truth. Good day.

I know this is a year old, but I love what you have done. Critics are just jealous of what you have done.
Thank you for your kind words. When the comments get to bad I just started blocking them without saying a word. I don’t care if they watch or not.

Archieeeeee. nice!
looking forward to the Christmas special. you owe no explanations to criticism. I did enjoy the construction of the fireplace.
Thank you!
Wow I enjoyed the video. I'm going to watch the Christmas Special next.
Awesome, thank you.
That cat is awesome! Haha! What's the plans for the old part of the house?
I know right. He’s my daughters but he has made his way into my heart for sure. The old part of the house will kinda stay as it is other than finishing it. Floors, doors, trim. That is unless my daughter gets married and moves out but we don’t see that in the future.
Another great video! Anxious for your Christmas video. Hope you enjoy a wonderful holiday season.
Thanks Neil! Hopefully next Wednesday evening.
Dont worry about any hate . you have built a beautiful home and your videos are very entertaining. your cat is the man as well !
Thank you! From me and Archie
I like the moveable wall
Perhaps a eternal candle burning in the upper chamber with a small old white porcelain pan with water warmed by the candles flame. Keep the home fires burning. You remind me of my Millers.
Amazing ❤❤❤❤

My future dream home. God bless you. You are really a knowledgeable wise man.
Thank you
You've done such incredible work building your place! Sad that you even have to explain anything you have done. So glad I found your channel! 🙂
Thank you. Yes, so many people that will never do anything for themselves knit pick at what I am doing. Thank you so much for watching!!
My grandmother had a wringer washer. Never owned a washer or a dryer. A w/w and a clothesline.
A dream bathroom you have. I love everything about your home.
Hey Jerry, how old is that washing machine my grandparents had one similar to it when I was a baby in the early 1970s. Very neat I have a HE washer and I agree it does not get clothes very clean lol.

Thank you my friend
Old style living that what I like.
Love your videos so far
Loved this post. Loved Allison!
What a blessing. 🙏🏻❤
Thanks Roger
Just found your channel! Great cabin, I built a small one myself. I love the age and look of yours . Keep up the good work.
Thank you!! It sure is a nice way to live!!
@@logcabinlifestyle I make videos too, but my cabin is alot smaller then yours. One day I hope to spend weeks there at a time if not full time.
This Channel is an absolute gem! Thank you so much! You've got golden hands! Can't wait to see your new videos! If you have a firearm collection, please make a video about it. Have a blessed day!

Aww, thank you. God does send little messages for us.
Awesome cabin
@williamssusan1579 doing well thanks. How are you
Lavender and the harpist by the fireplace, great Christmas card photo. Looking forward to your special video!
BTW, how many yards of concrete did you use??
I believe it took 8 yards to fill the walls and 7 on the floor. If I’m remembering right
The little chimney flue can boil water, how does that go with always wash your hands after using the bathroom?.
Such an inspiring dude you are. Keeps me motivated to end up like this one day. With the way the worlds gone and the economy is going it’s prob the best bet for most people to be as self reliant as possible. Hope your doing well and have a great Christmas !
Thank you and a Merry Christmas to you as well
Archie can't jump like that when he gets old.
bro I just now found your youtube channel, and your content is amazing. I swear within a year you will have a few hundred thousand subscribers
Well thank you my friend!!
Thank you for your honesty. I too thought your cabin was completely pioneer primitive. At least you're not portraying yourself as something you're not.
For sure not. That goes against everything I believe in. There’s a lot of that on UA-cam. 99% I’ll bet.
@@logcabinlifestyle keep the videos coming. I hope your following grows. Feel free to post your Devotionals as well.
guy lives in a movie set lol the whole time I thought he was roughing it. lol
Nacy so relax 🧎🏻
How did you get around modern building codes?
We don’t have codes
❤OMG! Havent SEEN THAT WASHER SINCE LATE 60’s When my Mom would Wash our Clothes! ( Do you LOVE BURN TOAST TOO)? Haha
I was going to say you should do a root cellar as your next project, but is sounds like you basement serves as one?
Yes, there will be a room in the basement that will be my root cellar and I would love a room to grow mushrooms as well
Do you use your old wood stove?
Not the one in the bathroom but I do have one in the living room that I use every day
Do you have a heater for the bathroom? My father was a plumber.
so "quilt" now is shower curtains?! ha ha ha 😅
your daughter must love having friends over, i know i would if i had a house like that.
Btw, are the windows double paned, to help insulating the place.
She does. And more and more as she grows more comfortable living here.
I like your bathroom with old washer and claw bath tub
Thank you!
I have 1 that i got on my (golden) 61st birthday. Writing that I repeesent.
What are your tattoos of? My father carried a tattoo of my mother and a eagle on his arm. He got those while he was serving in the US Army. Back in the 52 55 era
Brah, get a new living room set. A nice cognac colored leather sofa and a matching chair. You can splurge on that.
See it’s just my daughter and I and we don’t care about it. I always think about the things I do care about. Like the cost of new furniture is the same amount as being on vacation for 3 months. Fishing, working around the cabin, drinking coffee unto 10am. That’s more me
"waRshing" is correct.... lol.... I never realized I said that until I left home which was Missouri... and pronounced Missour-uh....
😂😂perfect. I get it from my mom. Lol and you don’t dare tell her she’s saying it wrong
U better start planing now. Archie ages better than 8 times your age so soon u might need an escalator.
Then u can use it, later on.😂
😂😂, now that’s funny right there!!
don't say it, pixies will hear you...
😂😂, they always do. Lol.

Do you have a christmas tree?

How did you afford a mortgage when you were 16 and in high school?
I went to school and worked full time. But I also didn’t have a mortgage. I bought the property on land contract from my sister who moved to Florida.
This is messing up my head. What looks old is actually new, much newer that the old house that looks new.
It's not near a hundred tons!!!
Twenty at most!
No, I didn’t think so either but my back knew it was heavy
I've been waiting to see past the cabin LOL Do you think there will be a day when the whole place will look like the cabin, or will it always be separate and different? I noticed the wall on the left of entering the hall is chinked but the little space to the right is not chinked yet, when you do that chinking will or can you show us?

Yes, I have two spots that need some chinking. I will definitely do a video when the time comes. As for the rest of the house, I’m just not sure what all I will do on the inside. Now the outside will get a facelift for sure.
@@logcabinlifestyle I will look forward to the chinking. Not many people have the skills to make this kind of dream come true. God has blessed your hands for sure.
