    The small defects always look worse when you have your face right next to them. Anyone else wont even notice it being they dont know its there. I went through this when i built my log home. It drove me crazy until i figured out no one else will even see it. For the most part the work you do on your own place ends up being a better quality job than if you hired someone to do it! Dont sweat the small stuff as your doing a great job!!!

    The inside is turning out real nice. I can tell a lot of the commenters aren't familiar with wood stoves. You should have no trouble with moisture.

    I love the new ceiling, it was the perfect choice, and it reflects light which brightens the main area and makes it bigger than it is, very nice.

    The home is really coming together well. I bet you two are so excited to get it completed. Good work!!!!

    I love the corrugated metal on the ceiling, it really sets off the interior. Good choice

  • @betsymcintyre2701

    Quick idea!! For around the light get door and window foam weather stripping or rope caulking. Rope caulking is more permanent but harder to remove later should you need to.
    Also (me) I'd make a round circle of wood then cut another circle out of the center then put foam weather stripping between the metal and the wood. The depth of foam twice the depth of metal ribs. So when you screw it up it makes a seal that heat can't escape into ceiling and make it sweat
    Hope this helps 😊

      It has been my experience that all the walls and ceiling should have a sealed interior vapor barrier. Usually a product called Acustaseal is used to seal the vapor barrier seams. I have done remodel work on houses in Alaska and anywhere moisture can move into wall it will cause mold in insulation. The freeze and condensation point in walls in real cold climates is in the middle of the insulation so any moisture will not make it through to the outside wall like it would in a more temperate climate.

    The ceiling looks very nice and bright. That was a lot of team work getting the tin up there. I remember as a kid helping my mom and dad put up sheetrock. He made a T shape for us to hold it up. Made it easier. The cabin is really coming together. You've both put so much work into making a home and it looks wonderful.

    Hello friends. I think everything is coming together quite nice. Don’t worry on little flaws. I mean if I come to your house and say dang why is that leaf on the floor or a chip in the paint, well maybe I would be the problem. Ya know!! You both have put so much love in your house I would only notice how amazing it is that you had the knowledge to do it. Congratulations guys. Your house your your lovely house and you are amazing! Take care. I’m playing catch up. Heading ova to your next video lol. ❤.

    Mini orb has a lot closer corrugations and is usually the one used inside on bars, etc. This Galv finish wont stay, especially if there is moisture inside, eventually it will have a rusty look, which looks rustic and ok if thats what you are going for., otherwise paint it.

      Wood stove pulls most of the moisture from the house so shouldn’t be an issue.

    • @tmark6701
      @tmark6701 Місяць тому +3

      No reason why it would. A wood stove sucks the moisture, usually you keep a pot of water on the top to help humidify the air because it gets so dry. Condensation is usually only an issue when hot meets cold and their ceiling will be warm.
