Building A Log Cabin | Ep. 59 | Our worst injury! Paneling the gable ends + Window framing and trim
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- In this episode, we plane 1x3 rough cut cedar boards and we use them as paneling on the interior gable ends. Before we could finish, the ladder broke and sent Nick falling 6 feet to the stone floor. He suffered an injury that stopped our progress for a week, and will slow our progress for weeks to come. After a week break, we got back to work. Our first task: reinforce the ladder! Once done, we were able to finish the paneling and finished all the framing and trim around the 2nd floor windows.
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.
When you built the ladder, I thought the rungs should have been mortised in the rails. That said you are young and will heal quickly. Nice work, you have a beautiful home.
When I saw the title, I suspected the ladder was the villain in this episode!

See- I just get done thinking that the world has gone to crap- and two bright sparks like you come along and restore my faith in human nature. Marry the girl- she didn't bend one nail !
You will enjoy Iceland, it’s great for a short break.
Your priority is healing up properly, do not do any permanent damage to your arm Nick.
Best wishes from Scotland.
So happy to see you back up at the cabin, doing what you love most!! Thank you for letting me help you convalesce, Nick. It was wonderful to have you and Maela here with me. Have an Awesome and Safe journey in Iceland.😉💜🙏
You might want to think about building some kind of railing up on that loft where you sleep. Cabin is looking beautiful. Get well soon Nick
NICK The guy fell off the ladder!!!!! He was DOING REALLY WELL UNTIL YOU CAME ALONE! HAVE YOU BUILT A LOG HOME LATELY....or EVER??????
I love peeling the bark off of the logs!
Nick I'm so sorry about ur arm, But Maela can definitely hold her own... Fabulous job!! Both of u!! Prayers for fast healing!!
Sorry for your arm. Well done M. for keeping things going forward.
I have been in construction for 35 years. I have built 3 log homes, 20 custom homes, countless commercial businesses, and now am a facility director. I love your videos! You and your wife are very ingenious and do Beautiful work. Why don't you wear gloves or boots? Keep up the good work. I hope you keep all your fingers and toes!
Have a marvellous vacation, Nick and Maela. And Maela, take great care of Nick, make sure that he does not run into another accident. We’ll be missing you. Safe travels and welcome back home, all in good health. From pictures from friends of mine, Iceland is a beautiful place to visit!
glad you didn't get a more serious injury! once you're back at home, I'd suggest buying a metal ladder (I know, but it won't fall apart), and then making a garage nearer the house so if something more serious _does_ happen to either of you, it'll be easier to reach a hospital.
Thanks for sharing your experience with the accident and treatment. Glad to see the smart ladder mods, but maybe a DIY safety belt when doing serious work on the ladder? Best wishes for a quick and painless recovery.
Please no OSHA in this house lol.
You both are so talented. So, driven. Do either of you have any background in either engineering, construction…what? You set your minds to something…and you do it!
You both completely have each other’s back. Be proud of yourselves!
Mechanical Engineering
Enjoy your holiday, you two. Will be waiting for more videos when you're back.
So sorry about your accident😢 but glad that you weren't hurt worse than that. It's nice that your mom is a nurse and could help out.😊
You and Maela are an amazing team and the work you both do is excellent! I Look forward to every video you make! Stay safe. 👍
my man you kill it , but your partner lady is the best ,, love her sticking with it..
Sorry to hear about your accident. You're very lucky it wasn't worse. I give you both High Fives for your adventure in building your cabin and starting up the syrup house. You both have done a exceptional job building your new home. Also, a BIG hand to Maela for her hard work in helping you. You guys make a Great Pair. Keep up the great work and enjoy Iceland. Can't wait to see more of your adventure.
Nick, prayers 🙏🙏🙏 for you. You and Maela are a great build team. Love watching you two build this cabin. Looking Good you two. 💪💪🧑🧔🏚️🪵🪚🔨📐👍👍
0:08 oh my Buddha those flowers, what a vibrant colour! Wonderfull!!
I watched your 2 hour video and was so impressed, I talked my wife into watching all the videos with me. We have enjoyed watching you build your cabin and have been so impressed with your work ethic and ingenuity. The day you moved, I got a little emotional. I'm so happy for you guys. Heal up soon, Nick. Have a great trip and I'll be looking forward to your video in September. By the way, I love Maela, too 😊.
You two are just so special. The way you keep moving forward no matter what is inspiring. So sorry to see that injury, but glad you were able to see it as a blessing that you weren't hurt worse, and you're right, it could have been a LOT worse! And the way you fixed that ladder! I doubt you will have a problem with it again. Enjoy your trip and we'll be waiting for you when you get back!
I watched the whole movie
But ill watch this too bc it is addictive
You will be missed. Take care and enjoy your trip.❤
sorry about your fall, been there, fyi from an old-timer..... you should use nails instead of screws when building ladders. it's common practice in the states and an Osha requirement. reason being that nails have a much higher sheer strength than screws. you can bend a nail but it won't snap like a screw. i personally like the draw strength of screws so i use both when building ladders, hope this helps. love your content and i'll be praying for you both and a speedy recovery
So sorry about your arm Nick. I have to say the both of you are amazing cabin builders doing it all the way our four fathers did it’s just amazing watching how beautiful this build is coming along 😊 you take it easy and mend yourself and be careful in the future. Thank you for sharing your journey
So glad the injury was not more serious and that you are recovering well. I'm sure that I will not be alone in suggesting that your home made ladder be transformed into firewood and that you invest in an aluminum ladder. Wishing the two of you all the best.
You are right Nick would have been a lot worse if you broke a weight bearing bone like your leg or hip. When I fell I broke my femur, hip, and it was very painful and took a year to make a full recovery. Your home looks beautiful both of you are doing a fabulous job.
Tellement désolée pour ton accident Nick ! Encore une fois, je suis impressionnée par votre détermination et votre courage face à cette épreuve ! Vous êtes des modèles à bien des niveaux ! Bon rétablissement et bon voyage. Je vous aime ❤️😘
It’s just always so good to see you both. Your work is always so well thought out and utilized. Lovely to see all your hard work coming together. Everything looks so cozy and comfortable.
I’m sorry to hear about your broken arm. You’re so lucky to have such a capable partner! I would love to see some footage of your trip to Iceland! Safe journey.
Best wishes for a speedy recovery! A few months ago I fell about ten feet off a ladder while alone in the cabin I have been fixing up. My head missed a beam by mere inches and I landed on the floor in the one spot where there wasn’t any lumber or tools laying around. Walked it off, praying thanks to God that I came out of it with only a grapefruit-sized bruise on my thigh.
Have a fun and safe trip to IceLand. Take care.
So glad they took great care of you Nick! Super fix on the ladder!
Back when I was in my late 20s I fell and broke my arm (riding a unicycle) the surgery was called a radial reduction. They installed a bar and 4 screws, thru the next year it always had a dull pain and just never went away. My Doctor recommended that they remove the bar and screw's for a few reasons and the pain was gone immediately after the took them out. Best thing I ever did
Sorry to know about ur wrist injury. Take care nick.
Happy to see ur work guys.
Maela please take care of nick.
Hope you’re healing. Sorry for y’all.
I hope you always have good luck
It’s awful when you hurt yourself. Everything happens so quickly and it always looks stupid when you look back on it.
When I was renovating my house. I fell 10ft, I snapped my wrist, fractured my pelvis and placed my shoulder out of joint. I was on my own when this happened and I had to crawl downstairs, make a 999 call and had to lift myself up to open the front door.
So I do sympathise with your situation. Stay safe👍👍
Ohh I love what the two of you have done 👍👍
still enjoying seeing how far you have come & glad your injuries weren't too bad, lucky this time; have a break, enjoy Iceland & heal
we'll see you when you get back, thanx for sharing
Merci pour vos vidéos qui font rêver !
Prenez soin de vous.
Et profitez bien de votre voyage !
A très bientôt !
Good job Brother ❤❤❤❤
Cabin looks great
Wow. You have accomplished a lot. It takes time to heal. Don't rush it.
That picture with the thumbs up 😂 whatever they gave you, looked like it made you happy . 😂
Hey Nick & Maela 💕 Have yourselves a wonderful time out in Iceland. And Nick I'm so sorry about the broken arm. Heal quickly, which you will. All the best to you both. Love watching your videos. ☮💟 Auntie Chrissie
Glad you're ok now, hope your arm isn't hurting to much.
Thanks for the upload.
Enjoy Iceland.
New subscriber! I've been catching up on your videos and today I find this!? Breaking your dominate arm is the worst. At least it was for me. It's great that Maela is able to continue construction. Have a nice trip to Iceland, and I will be anxiously waiting for your return to the cabin. Love your channel, and project.
Take care of yourself; your work is truly challenging and commendable.
Es una pena que allá sufrido el accidente en. Pero al mismo tiempo demos gracias a Dios que solo fue un brazo y no paso a mayores pudo haber sido algo peor. Les deseo lo mejor y a usted una pronta recuperación. Sus videos son buenisimos👏👏👏
Free life is great. I am also very satisfied with my current life
After reading the description of this video, you can imagine that I was quite concerned, my first thought was a ladder failure, I have been worrying about our usage on that ladder, and not knowing if you have been keeping a close eye on it. But as I watch the video, I kept hoping that the injury would be no more smashed thumb now that may have been lost due to the injury, but no such luck, not that that would be lucky but much less than a broken arm. I’m glad everything went well with the hospital visit and the surgery and that you will be just fine. I am very happy that you two are taking a trip, a little time off to enjoy life away from the cabin. Enjoy the trip, and I will be looking very forward to your next video.
I'm blown away that you guys are building this cabin entirely with hand tools! ..the rip cut with the hand saw
takes so much patience.. 👍
I just love the team work about them and the expertise they attached to the work. I pray they continue like this forever.
I hope you check in from time to time. We are seeing more and more wildfires in Canada and are worried about all your hard work. Hope you are mending nicely. Enjoy your rest.
I think they are aware of a railing mom! He fell and went boom!! Yes, we all have Wild fires...PLEASE!!!!!!!!
Oh Nick, that’s just terrible, sounds like you hurt your arm pretty good, do what they say so it heals well! Maela nice work there, I knew you could do it no problem! Have fun in Iceland, you two very much deserve a nice, long break!!!
Great work well done both of you, beautiful couple, hope you get better soon Nick. best wishes from England.
Oh my goodness Nick!!!😮😮 So sorry that you broke your arm but as you said it could have been a lot worse. I'm so glad that you are on the mend and can still take your trip. That sounds exciting✨🌟⭐ The cabin looks wonderful. Maela you are doing a great job on construction, as you always do !!! Take care and enjoy your trip💖❤️♥️💚
Watching from Philippines 🇨🇿👋🏻
Get well soon Nick 😇
Shavings are the best fire 🔥 starters!!!
The cedar will help with bugs and you both please stay safe 🙏. Just take care Nick. You both have fun on your trip 😀.
Since the very beginning of your videos right up to the most recent ones I have appreciated all the hard effort you two have put into
your cabin build.
It pains me to see that you have gotten yourself injured like that. I know how much you both have been thoughtful as well as careful
with every aspect of your build. I now find myself at a loss for words except.......please get well.
Most sincerely, Me southern AZ.
Oh dear get well soon but you have a very good partner, I will miss seeing you for the next month but enjoy your trip.
Heal. Rest. Enjoy your vacation.

That was a pretty good time at the hospital, In UK all I did was cut my thumb pretty bad I had to be transferred 25 miles to another hospital and wait all day and most of the night before I had my thumb stitched up, I then had to walk back to my own town. The queue consisted of three people in front of me, The rest of the wait was down to Royalty, it was Princess Diana's Wedding, all the staff was mesmerised by her beauty and could not function till it was all over. Good luck with your work.
Here’s to a quick and full recovery…nice to hear you’re both taking a holiday enjoy yourselves and we look forward to seeing your content in September
Get well soon beautiful cabin
have a great time in iceland enjoy it you 2 deserve it, hope you have a speedy recovery. see you again.✌❤❤🤗
Sorry that you broke your arm. I hope it heals fast. Have fun on your trip.
Awesome job!!! Looking great guys.
Sorry bout the arm, but your wife can do everything. She is a very impressive carpenter also. You should be proud....
Don't worry about content. You have to do what is best for you going forward. Have a great time in Iceland.
Русская бабушка очень волнуется за вас. Выздоравливайте, а мы подождем . Удачной поездки! 🎉

Hi Nick and Maela. Sorry to see you have had a accident. Hope you get better soon. I know that apart from yourself, Maela will have had a bad time too. Forget about content for know and enjoy your trip away. The cabin will still be there when you get back. Good luck. 👍
Sorry to hear about the accident, prayers for a quick recovery. I have a suggestion for a future video. I would love to see a video of your experience coming into this adventure, how you knew what to do to build this cabin. Introduce us to your tool box of hand tools that folks may not be familiar with and what has been your most valuable tool in building. Also what prepared you best for this adventure?
Sorry about your fall. Thanks for the inspiring videos guys
Muchas gracías, Nick y Maëla, por traquilizarnos.
Buen viaje, y vuelvan muy bién.
¡Hasta el inicio de septiembre con ótimas novedades!
Glad injuries weren't worse....
Do you think you might do some video content of your vacation ?
I believe everyone would enjoy them.
Either way have fun.
Estimado Nick, te deseo una pronta recuperación.
Esto pasará y seguirás trabajando en ese sueño tan bonito que están construyendo junto a Maëla.
Toda mi admiración para ustedes.
Saludos desde Montevideo, Uruguay 🇺🇾 😉 👍 💪
Alles erdenklich gute, und baldige Genesung wünsche ich Dir!!!
Nick boa recuperação...vou ficar aguardando novo vídeo..boa viagem.. abraços... Brasil 🇧🇷
Wow glad you’re ok cabin looking great. What are you going to name your place. Thank you again. Have a fun trip. 😎😎
Lavorate il legno senza l'uso di strumenti a corrente elettrica. È la manualità il vostro punto di forza. Un' attività manuale e pratica che purtroppo va scomparendo con la tecnologia di oggi che avanza. Il vostro intento è un ritorno alle origini, quando la semplicità prevaleva, quando si era felici con poco. Lasciare la città e vivere nella natura è una condizione che l' umanità dovrà riprendere nell' interesse del nostro piccolo grande mondo. Buon lavoro Nick e Maela. Siete fantastici!
Get well soon. Vacation will help in recovering from the injury. Have a great trip and hopefully we'll see some footage from Iceland when you guys get back.
Ouch! Nick, so relieved you’ve been treated properly after the accident. Also, being rather squeamish, rather relieved you didn’t catch the accident on video because you’d probably have included it into this episode! I only stumbled across your channel last month and have binge-watched with great pleasure every video since then. You two are already by far my favourite people allowed onto my TV and I really hope you have a great time in Iceland. Hopefully you’ll return much recovered and with loads of wonderful memories and videos too!
Lordy so Sorry Glad your safe. Because you Both are doing a Great job. 🍀
Take a roofing shingle and put a grove in the end. After starting your nail put the shingle around the nail and this will protect your woodwork from Pecker Marks. As my uncle used to say.
Sorry that happened 😮 Have fun on your trip and be safe ❣️
Wishing you a speedy recovery and happy travels! !
I am so sorry you got hurt your lovely wife is doing a great job fixing things you both don't worry just go and enjoy your trip and hope for lee you will come back feeling better so don't worry I really appreciate watching your video Rosa olbera from America
Amazing Nick and Maela!
I watched all your videos with fascination. You are amazing! You chose a beautiful place and left for a great challenge. It was difficult to imagine that a young couple could build such a beautiful and cozy log cabin with their own hands.
The videos gave me a lot of peace and serenity. Impressive how you work. I was curious to know your diet to have so much energy and disposition. You messed with me. I am more observant of the things around me.
I was surprised to see Nick in the hospital. After always working very carefully on the construction of the roof and the upper parts, it was right inside the hut, when you can't imagine the possible risks, that accidents occur.
I'm rooting for Nick's recovery and that the young couple can continue with their project very soon.
As my grandmother used to say, it is by falling that you learn to walk.
Health, peace and much success.
You deserve.
Get well soon my friend. Much love to you guys ❤
I love your cabin , you have done a amazing job, perfectly done. . Safe travels on your vacation will look for you when you return. Charleston SC.
Stay safe....yes good advice😏. In the mean time, it looks like Maëla is doing a great job keeping the progress going. Enjoy the vacation, you'll be coming back recharged to prepare for winter.
Thank God, it was not worse. Get well soon, Nick! Maela is on your side and everything will be just fine.
Hi, Nick and Maela I am loving watching your videos very much. I love the cabin very nice. I hope your arm gets better very soon looking forward to your next video already. All the best from G in England.
Love your channel. Please, make yourselves a proper set of sawhorses.
That ladder was a major concern for me watching this from the comforts of my modern world. Your both are very durable robust individuals I really admire your hard work and tenacious mentality. Glad you got taken care of. Gotta be scary that far out. Stay safe. Love your show.
Have a good trip will miss u guys hope the arm goes well 😊
I'll wait for the section where you cover the insulation on the inside of the house. Dangerous to inhale it. Love from Sweden
Hoping for a fast recovery and enjoy your trip to Iceland👍🇨🇦
Hope you're healing fully. I was washing down the sailboat on July 21st and slipped entering in the cockpit. I broke a couple of ribs, but like you, I realize how much worse it could have been. Love what you both are accomplishing together. Cheers from the Broughtons.
Watching from Philippines.....take care both of you
