- I think this may be the most dangerous few days I've spent building my off grid homesteads alone over the last 7 years!

I am amazed by all the work you do to publish this. Not only are you building, but you’re figuring angles and light, moving and setting up cameras while going up and down a ladder, and let’s not forget the editing. Wow that is impressive. 🎉
Exactly. I have trouble remembering the last measurement I took and how many pieces I need!
Shawn alway gives 120%. You know the saying, "You can do anything you put your mind to. "
I am constantly impressed with your work ethic and abilities. What you are able to accomplish by yourself is amazing. Thanks for bringing us along on your adventures
I’m glad to see you using safety gear. My dad fell off a roof when he was a roofer and our next door neighbor fell off one just after getting married and he was paralyzed from the neck down. Stay safe and keep up the wonderful job you’re doing. Love watching your daughter and your videos.

I hear you Mr. James, the older we get the slower reaction and less balance we have but I noticed the scaffolding and collections of safety equipment you're using now. Be praying for your safety and that help comes to you so you don't have to do it all alone.
As always you do amazing work much less by yourself. I am in awe. Glad to hear the Emily is doing better.
Not only am I amazed at all you accomplish by yourself but I love hearing the birds in the background! 😊

@@deraltesoldat6594 Гадаю,ви новачок на цьому сайті , так сталося, що я рочків 7 спостерігаю за неймовірною роботою на своїй приватній ділянці у лісі Шона Джеймса ,він безперечно є зразком поведінки чоловіка в усіх аспектах . Соромтеся своїх легковажних висновків .I think you are new to this site, it so happened that I have been watching the incredible work of Shawn James on my private plot in the woods for 7 years, he is definitely a model of a man's behavior in all aspects. Be ashamed of your frivolous conclusions.
Glad you have a safety rope we don't want any accidents
I noticed that too, the man is smart, with none of this macho overconfident stuff especially when you're by yourself.
Tripping over a line is not uncommon
It will roll,,if it stepped on
Great progress, Mr. James! The roof sheeting looks very awkward to work with. Bet you'll be glad to have that done.
The timber framing is great. It has such a grand presence. Best of health to you and your family!

Noticed how clean your area is around your cabin. Nice.

*And these are acquired through years of practice.*

I built my cabin by myself so I can attest to the challenges. Shawn has used some of the same ideas for working alone I did, but has thought of more I wish I had figured out. Amazing work on this homestead!
This is cabin 2.0, it takes 2 times to get the details right, lol!
@@kearnsey64 actually 3.0 the last one was 2.0 ... he has also had suggestions and ideas frm several thousand people too which does help ;)
@@kaboom-zf2bl Shawn also spent a great deal of time planing this cabin out, calculating materials and where he would get them from, etc.. I do think the best thing about Cabin 3.0 was the flexibility that his saw mill provided to him in terms of building with dimensional lumber for many parts of the construction. I get that he is trying to free himself from reliance upon such machines, but there's a limit to what hand tools can do. Dimensional lumber milled from wood cut on his own land has been the key to making this cabin build spectacular. And the mistakes he made on 2.0 certainly allowed him to "level up" in 3.0.
@@roberttrifts2737 he did have the bushmill chainsaw rig ... still does actually... but yes he listened to all the comment used some modified many and set some aside for another day ....
Glad to hear you’re getting your Kitchen Dried in & That Emily’s head injury is getting better Also! 👍
For some reason, this episode had me really thinking about Richard Proenneke, how ahead of his time he was to take on such a venture and document it too boot! I know he’s looking down at you Shawn saying, ‘Well done young man, well done done!’…I just know it, felt it in my bones😎
So special to have an outdoor kitchen once more.
Not a criticism but if you want to make your mosquito net last longer it's best to turn the edges over a couple of times and staple on this!!! More time consuming but lasts way longer, did loads of screen s for 3 houses in Spain and they stood the test of time. Love the vids!!
I’m loving your cupola. I think I’ve been more excited to see the outdoor kitchen build than the cabin. Hope you’re completely well.
Shawn. I think that part of your ‘drive’ is the satisfaction that progress brings each day.
I gotta say, I cringed every time you shoved one of those guillotine blades up on the roof man. One slip and they would have sliced and diced you. It is looking REAL good Shawn. I am still amazed how you just keep truckin on and on and on. I love watching and learning here. Thanks for all the extra work you do to make these presentations so we can all sit here and enjoy them. THAT in itself is a great work. Thank you.
Another massive build project! Good to see the “old sheet metal guy” still knows how to bend tin!
This man is amazing. Built this cabin on his own.
Second one!!??
@@kearnsey64 three I believe
@@angelatm1000 oh right! The one when he was in his twenties! You're right!
Hello Shawn: OUTSTANDING job handling the lumber and the sheet metal. A job well done and I love to see you using the harness. Well I hope you look back after this day and say to your self I did it. Another great job and this place as usually looks great. Keep safe and see you next time.
Oh Yes, and the gloves, makes viewing very calming, and not holding onto the edge of your seat, waiting for some disaster to happen. Continue to enjoy.❤
Hello from Aberdeen, South Dakota. You look very experienced with closing in that roof: Dangerous work indeed, but you are doing a masterful job.
I’m glad Emily is recovering and back on UA-cam!! Her garden looks great!
Your new cabin is looking beautiful!
Good to see Shawn back at it, hope his sickness is totally gone, and glad to hear Emily is doing better as well! What an incredible outdoor kitchen…
You had me a little nervous there Shawn. It’s looking good,& you’re making good progress. Always praying for your safety,& successful builds. Have a blessed,& wonderful weekend.💯💜✝️🙏🏾🇺🇸
I was talking to myself and saying, you need a harness, you need a harness and a couple of seconds later you had a harness. Very glad to see that! Every animal for miles must be saying lets not go there for treats until that human stops making such a racket. lol
Love the way this kitchen is turning out. We are the same age but you look a lot more agile than me. I love to built too but bending at the knees to swat seems to have become a lost art for me. Enjoy it while you can! Hope Emily is feeling better ❤
I very much appreciate what your doing here Shawn, having done this myself a number of times. It brought back memories and amazement on my survival during my project. It all looks super and will be Lovely indeed! I’m eager to see what you will do inside compared to your old place. Your new homestead is truly magnificent but not that the last was not. I’m sure it was a hard thing to have to give up but you’ve advanced for sure! Kind Thanks for sharing once again Shawn and Many Blessings to You and your Family! DaveyJO in Pennsylvania
He has outdone himself with this cabin for sure.
I legitimately get so much peace from watching these videos. I see them posted and I know I have 30+min of peacefulness waiting for me
Beautiful work, I am always impressed by your skill and your results. This kitchen is no exception! Stay safe. And good health to you and your family. ❤
Great looking kitchen in progress and happy to see your daughter is on the mend but it will take more time to heal and also you as well to make sure the giardia is completely out of your system cyst trop and protozoa is completely gone or you can relapse. Parasitology is one of my specialty in the lab.
What is this yu speak of...giardia and cyst trop..and protozoa.?
Mr James ,
You are a man that is addicted to hard work ,
Wish I had your energy and ability . Keep Safe , Sir .
Be safe shawn James I know it looks dangerous but I have faith in you looks awesome kitchen
It’s good to see you using a safety harness this time Mr James. Stay safe!
I am a good “ go for”, assisting my hubby through the 54 years we have been married. He was a “ city slicker” whose dad sat in an office, wearing a suit each day to work. I was ( still am) a country girl whose dad could do anything, and do it well! Over the years, it has been a challenge to work beside him because I had grown up helping my dad, doing and seeing things through my dad’s point of view. I have had to bite my tongue a few times! He, fortunately for me, is not quick tempered and is patient. He is also teachable in some instances when I see how to do something from an angle he had not thought of. We are a good team now! We don’t do much building any more..he is 76 and I am 74. I guarantee we can work circles around many younger couples who give up and hire things done. All this to say,this lady knows a smart, hard working man when I see one! I am thankful for MY man. Be safe. I admit I held my breath a few times tonight as I watched you on that roof…being self reliant and no “ go for” there helping you. At least there in case you fell. Thanks for using safety measures!
Beautiful work there SHAWN & OUR CALI!!! Praying for your safety sake I know what it is like to fall 3 stories down on my back !!! Glad you got the safety equipment now !!! It will help you on out in the long run of things !!! PRAYING for you and I keep thinking of what I went through in my early 40's & 50's !!! Your body is not ready to do any more after that is finished on you !!! REST AND REFRESH YOUR SELF for a weekend at least !!!

Held my breath through most of that episode! Glad you are roping yourself to something solid.
The cabin looks better all the time. Great work.
Pure craftsmanship. Such a beautiful art to behold when done so well and measured.
Looking forward to the new grill.
Your a beast Shawn! Everything you do by your self is impressive. I really wish you had someone that could help you! I wish I lived in your area and knew you cause I would love to help you when you needed it! Your a legend, the things you have accomplished and achieved on your own is amazing! Putting up them huge logs, scribing and hanging them on your own is truly amazing! I know your a humble man and don’t wanna ask for help but I know you have a lot of friends that would help, but I’m a lot like you, in 59 and never asked for help but am the first to offer help! You are a true craftsman and I applaud your work ethic. Just a fantastic build and beautiful cabin you have achieved! Great work and congratulations for what you have accomplished! Much respect Sir! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
I think you need a break sometimes. You've been working so hard for many years. Stay safe always. Take care Shawn.
Your doing great! Your precise, careful, and doing a great job ! The old fashion use of tools too! Thank you for the use of your block and tackle.
I'm loving the Outdoor Kitchen Cathedral Shawn! Thouroughly impressed with your build so far. Best wishes from that tea drinking island over the pond.
You freaking rock! Awesome job! Thanks for letting me follow your journey.😊
Good for see you Shawn after a long hard week in UK.
I get to watch you build and nurture the homestead
Looks magnificent that new outdoor kitchen extension Shawn
Really impressed how you got the roof on
Shawn an other great video. By now the roof is probably finished, but how I solved a similar roof. The eve of my roof was 18 feet, the peak about 26 feet. I built a slide 24 feet long and then with a rope and a visa grip and attached rope I climbed on the roof and slide the long roof panels up to the peak and screwed the panels to the 2x3 inch perlines. Never lost one of the 52 panels. It just took a lot of time. Stay safe.
So special to have an outdoor kitchen once more.. This man is amazing. Built this cabin on his own..
Shawn glad to see you’re installing that metal roofing the proper way with the screws on top of the V ! I don’t give a crap what these new wave people say who say the screws should be put in the flat surface of the valleys!! Well Their wrong, metal roofs have been put on homes and businesses for 2 hundred years with nails in the top of the V’s and many old structures still standing. But the water 💦 isn’t gonna stay on the top of the V it’s going down in the valley flats. People can follow this new guideline all they want to but if I install it my screws are going on the top of the V’s at the least place likely to leak. I think these metal companies are in cahoots with the lumber companies To tell people that lie about installing in the flats so they could sell more lumber & metal roofing when things fail in 15-20 years. More so than they would the old traditional way of installing on top of the V’s.
The screws I used on steel roofing have seals on them never had a leak . But maybe you’re right . I’m not a roofer . Greetings from Canada . 👍🔧🛠💥⚒
You are 100% correct, I said exactly this when Shawn was putting the roof on his house and all the new "experts" said i was wrong. All those Houses in Australia I put roofs on are apparently wrong..... Funny point but, nearly 100% of the water that hits a roof slides down the valleys in the sheeting, exposing the screws on the flats to far more water, and chances of a leak. Yes, metal roofing screws have rubber washers but they split easily. By putting screws on the flat sections, or in the valleys on the sheeting you can easily overtighten the screws and split the rubber washers, I've seen it dozens of times. I've also fitted Sky lights , roof vents and guttering..... Been in the building industry for over 40 years...
Sur grand écran l'on voit les clous qui retiennent les planches, pour empêcher la chute..du métier, du métier 👍 la cheminée c'est pour la viande séchée ? ..j'adore , c'est magnifique 🤩
Always good to see you episodes and it's also good to see someone being a little causes when doing uncomfortable tasks. I need to do more of the same.
great work. looks amazing, but so scary being so high up on that roof.
Working alone on that roof scares the heck out of me. Glad to see you're using a safety harness.
How you do all of this and film and my god you are a jack of all trades. You never cease to impress. Plus its so soothing watching you work. Wish i was there with you helping out.
I noticed your dog growled a bit regarding that trophy bone you gave her. Her wild instincts coming to the surface, in spite of the obvious fact she won't need to share it with you. I noticed you told her to "stop".
The sound of that hammer echoing through the woods is so satisfying.
Beautiful day, bluest sky, whitest clouds and greenest trees 🌳 ♥️
As always, so impressed with your skills! Be safe, but love the Clark W. Griswold ladder bounce by the way 😂
Handsdown the cutest chimney ever made on an outdoor cabin-kitchen! Well done Shawn!
It's hard putting tin on a roof by your self and going up a ladder Shawn im amazed by your skills to do all you have done by yourself on your new property it goes to show that with hard work and dedication any thing is possible you just got to do it🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
I hope you talk about the cupola style roof-vent in a later video Shawn. I had assumed that you were going to screen in this outdoor kitchen (because insects in the spring/summer really do suck) and primarily rely upon cross-breeze through the screens to cool and vent it. I guess the cupola has the strength of doing the job and not requiring any power to operate while mitigating heat buildup from the roof and venting smoke as well? Ah well. I guess we will be patient and all will be revealed...
I would tell you a carpenter joke but I do not know if it wood work. lol. Your out door kitchen is looking good so far.
Groan!😍🇨🇦
It is going to be very nice Shawn. I just wish you had a ground person to help make things so much quicker! Love you channel, be safe, stay healthy, & God Bless everyone.
The outdoor kitchen is coming along nicely. I really like the style you’ve picked for it. It goes really well with the log cabin.
Beautiful work Shawn ❤
Even though this work is already done, I still find myself praying for your safety!
Amazing, as always!
Wow!! This is gonna be one heck of an outdoor kitchen!! I am truly in awe of what you have accomplished with the cabin and the outdoor kitchen. And yet you still take the time to play with the dog!!! Impressive!!!
Impressionnée par votre travail seul...sécurité, gants, les lunettes, votre travail est magnifique. .très belle vidéo passez un bon weekend
Awesome thanks for wearing a safety harness. No words spoken and yet great teacher and knowledge passed on :-)
So good to see you wearing a safety harness and hooking up to a safety line. If it had been me I would have had it on for all that high up hammering. I don't have your strength and balance. So good to see your videos again.
You’re doing a really good job I know that. And your puppy is doing well too. 🙏🏻❣️
I miss my husband, he was so good at this sort of stuff!
I am so glad that you are using safety gear Mr James, puts my mind at rest. You are doing such amazing work on your cabin build and you have come so far with your build from your last cabin. This cabin is beautiful and has been so well thought out and I am sure you and your family will be very happy here. Take care and till the next one. Cali is such a beautiful dog and companion. Thank you for taking us on your adventure and sharing it with us. Have a lovely week end.
Glad you're using safety gear. My husband came off a forty foot roof; he hadn't braced the ladder. Took 2 years and 9 operations to put him back in one piece. He had the sense to ride the ladder down, probably what saved him. 18 titanium plates in his face, several operations to close his palate, and restore function to his right hand, entire mouth of dental repair, all because he was in a hurry and didn't brace the ladder. Please, please be safe.
Interested to see how you finish it out, I know you have a plan in your mind, and I enjoy watching it be fulfilled.
Esta quedando bonita la casa
🇦🇷👍👍
Heaven is a place on earth and you've created it Shawn. Amazing progress since I first started watching your channel years ago. Absolutely incredible what you've created.
Thanks Shawn. Glad you didn't fall off the roof. Looks great! Have a nice day
Wow that was scarey. Glad you got that done. God bless.
Duuuuuuuuude watching you put this roof together is like watching a LEGO Champion in action!!!!! You make it look so damn easy!!!!
Love the chimney/ birdhouse
Kitchen is really taking shape. Well done.
Precision comes with time and skill, methodically applying what you are capable of in achieving your dream to reality all while living to the fullest. This is Shawn - My Self Reliance.
By the way, I absolutely love what this kitchen is becoming; professionally built. I imagine it could possibly be used as an indoor outdoor kitchen. I especially love the cupola!!
It’s not too late to use the cupola as the chimney to allow all the smoke to rise out from while the kitchen is closed in for the winter, wife would love this!
Shawn you are unbelievable
Arduous tasks. You're awesome and patient. ❤
Wow, the cupula was an unexpected nice touch addition. I don't know how you do it, climb up on a roof like that. THAT is one thing I am deathly afraid of. When I was about 6 (I'm, 76) I saw a man fall from the roof of my folks house, I've been afraid of falling ever since.
Great job. '-)
I know absolutely nothing about construction. However, I can't stop watching your channel. I find myself intriqued and at awe at the craftsman skills you do "basically" by yourself. Beautifully done.
One question...what is the reason for not covering your dog when it rains, snows, the cold? Animals get cold as well.
Looking awesome, but wow you’re the man that’s for sure. Putting that metal roof up by yourself Yep is here watching I’ll watch for the next one stay safe 👍👍😎
Today, for the first time, there were moments when I would forget to breathe. You're amazing in all you accomplish.
I’ve built and sold all the homes I have ever lived in as a married man. This last one will take care of me until I am gone. I’m 75 now and I still enjoy it. You are so meticulous at arranging your cabin. The work you have put into it is amazing. I must say that I used skill saws wherever I could. This last house ruined my rotator cups to the point I can’t lift my arms. My wife said good, I don’t want another home, this one is perfect. 🤣😂😅I agree that it took a few accidents to slow me down. It’s all good. I’m at peace, my work is done. I LOVED BUILDING! 👍
Sean,the work of art you build only you can do,cali the love of a golden is a very special love, !🏡🐕🐾🐾🐾🌻☘️
Please be careful! I'm glad to see you roped off. I was a roofer in my younger days, and steep work was not my forte, especially metal. Glad to see you putting the screws on the raised portion of the rib. So many people I see install the screws on the flat and are relying solely on that tiny neoprene washer. More volume of rainwater is going to flow over that fastener/washer on the flat section of the metals profile than the rib. Love the cupola, nice architectural touch. Are you going to install drip edge on that portion? All you need now are some finials and a weather vane.😉 Sorry for babbling, keep up the fine work, Sir. 🫡
As with all posters, respect and admiration. Your Eagle Eye fire tower atop the roof excellent idea.
Beautiful progress. Every little detail creates a masterpiece. Thank you for sharing your family's journey. Prayers for your safety and your family. Hugs for Cali.
It is really great that you show your struggles and failures, like with the roofing panels. It makes it more than a social medial experience but what you have to go through in life and self-reliance!
My brother is now 80 years old and to keep his balance and stay in shape, he rides a bicycle almost every day. Take care, Mike
Many of us, mortals never received any praise for our achievements, but persisting to continue for our own private success. Let's not forget and praise. This country was built on their silenced grand success, how good they were, men and women.
It is neat to see the creek all green and recalling all snow and ice ... joy
I'm from Morocco but you deserve a noble prize bro❤😮
That cupola is badass!👏
