Are you kidding? Country cabin project, I love it, I can't get enough of it. More please, this is just another thing I enjoy about this channel. You're living the dream, please share it with us.
Slim, I watch this for you and your personality. Your dry wit, your humor. The camping and everything is just a part of it. You want to build a cabin I'm here watching with you. If I lived closer to you Id come on and help you. You seem like a pretty good guy to me.
If you don't mind a suggestion or two? I would make the first room next to the kitchen the bath room. Here is my reasoning: You will find when plumbing the kitchen, you will save a lot of money, time and having to crawl under the cabin running pipes all of the way to the far end of the cabin. Also when you come in from a trip or from working on the outside of the property and need to wash up, the bathroom is right by the entrance. You're not tracking dirt through the house. If you make the two other bedrooms your bedroom, you'll have more windows side and back to enjoy your property and get natural light.
How about a rearrange change the layout to one side as the bedroom and bathroom and then there's a large rectangle for kitchen and living area not a L shaped kitchen and living area. With the added benefit of the bedroom looking out to the water. Hope I am making sense there.
Hi Tom. Just to be clear, the layout as I described it has the kitchen and the bathroom side by side, but on the opposite corner of the entranceway. The room nearest to the entrance is not big enough for a bathroom and shower. Rather than completely gut it, I'm trying to do the minimal of changes, both due to my budget and the time limitations. Thanks! SP
I was just going to ask why the nice corner room (nice light from two windows) couldn't become the bedroom, together with middle room, but here's the answer!
First thing you need to bring in, is a dumpster and start filling it.

As an Architect I would put the bathroom (especially the toilet) near the entrance - then you can access it from the outside without messing up all the other rooms. BTW it will be a nice cabin!
I have an easy solution: Slippers by the door! That first room is far too small for a bathroom/shower, and too far away from the proposed kitchen plumbing. Thanks! SP
Its definitely a fixer upper. The new sliding doors and window have already given us a insight into how it's going to unfold. You have a diamond in the rough Slim. Enjoy the renovations. Thanks for the update 😀 👍
I don’t want action and jump scares which is why I like your channel. Gentle and interesting will do for me. Can’t wait to eventually see the warm cosy stove lit up. Great video Slim, thank you for sharing ♥️👍
Not boring AT ALL! I’ve been waiting for cabin work days. You’ve already made big improvemens. It’ll be such a fun project for us to watch. Thanks for sharing.
Great to see you are back at your cabin and starting on the remodeling. I can't wait to see the transformation into a sweet cabin in the woods and fire in the stove.
Agreed... a dream in progress. The most important part is the location... that's priceless. I can just picture Slim sitting by his cozy wood stove on a rainy day, ... or sitting out on the porch with a Cool One. I'm sure he'll have no regrets... and ALWAYS have a project to keep him.. and ourselves, entertained. 😊
Nothing boring about your cabin and the renovation you’re doing. I love it! Looking forward to this journey of yours that you’ll be sharing with us. 👏❤️
Oh Slim, that “scary” attic scene only lacked one thing: a bat (on a string of course). Such a beautiful piece of property. I’m so looking forward to the next phase! Stay busy.
Camping or remodeling a cabin makes no difference. Your commentaries and reflections are a big part of your channel! Your ability to repair things and make things are very interesting! Excited to see you make the cabin yours.
Really happy you are back at the cabin and found all to be in good order. No drama and suspense needed. There is way to much of that in the rest of the world!
Two suggestions: Magnet rake for those nails on the ground. Check with your insurance company about that old wood stove, they may insist on a CSA rated model (if I had my druthers I would go with a low smoke recirculating type $$). Advice: try not to keep too much of the “it’s still good, I might be able to use that later” stuff. Awesome progress Slim, please keep us updated!
I second the suggestion for upgrading the wood stove... one for safety sake, and two.. for efficiency. We ended up getting a Jyotal stove... not cheap but WELL worth it in the long run. It has a lovely glass front so we can view the fire.. plus it lights up the room... very romantic 😉
Looking good, Slim! It's kind of scary leaving everything behind. We leave our house, which is basically a cabin in the woods, for months at a time and never know what we will find when we return. Thankfully, we have never had an issue after 15 year of being here. Apart from a few mice and once or twice a smelly packrat, it stays pretty much as it was when we left it. Looking forward to seeing that deck come together and you enjoying a cold one on it. My deck is my favourite part of our cabin, but no sea view for me...we live in the mountains of BC.
Slim, your "special effects" remind me so much of the home movies my dad would make when I was young. This is one of the reasons I look forward to them. Please keep 'em coming!
Good morning Slim from Nevada. Glad to see you made it back safe and sound. The cabin looks to be in good shape. I'm happy to hear you're removing the ceiling, that will make it feel larger. I also like the bathroom idea, can't wait to see how that window looks when you get it up. You have your work cut out for you, best get started. Take care and see ya soon.
Oh course we enjoyed that video Slim! And you spiced it up just at the right time when looking at the attic. 😆 I am looking forward to your summer renovations. All the best to you from Quebec!
Really, really nice! Making great progress. I would loft part of that too. When it rains, it's going to have a beautiful sound. Great to have good neighbors. You and Justincredible definitely have the right ideas for beautiful, peaceful, and scenic relaxing homes. Thanks for sharing your update. 🙂👍
Just in awe with your project Slim, such a beautiful and relaxing place and don't tell me you're all right with natural vegetation and trees! 😉 I laugh so much with the scary part of your attic. Luv you man! Keep on with your good work and trips.
Love the update - you will have added a whole new audience. Please continue with the cabin updates I also have an off grid cabin I'm renovating and find this fascinating. I've been watching your channel for a long time but the cabin is now my favorite part of your channel. Thank you for all of the entertainment.
Probably seeing Alan Whicker up in the roof would have been an even bigger shock! The cabin is going to be a cool place to spend time. Lovely location!
I love these kinds of videos! Glad you know what you're doing with restoration. Your reno ideas with those tiny rooms sound great. look forward to watching all the progress.
I don't find Cabin updates Dull at ALL! I love them! I cannot wait to watch your progress. I think its awesome your pulling out the ceiling, and showing rafters it will feel more cabin like. With that big wood burner you are not going to need much insulation, it will be toasty in there for sure.
you sure put a lot of work into your videos for being only one person, and still manage to slip in time to get some work done, Thank you, just stay heathy. And be careful, Many of us am sure are learning from your Mistakes , and the many that do go right. Exercising the Brain than having all pre made, and done.
You are funny! I never found you a dull person ever, only fascinated with the places you let me see through your eyes. Looking forward to seeing the deck when it's done. A beautiful view awaits for us. Yep us. Yours for rest/relaxation, ours when shared with us.😊
It almost seems like winter bypassed your cabin & surrounding area. Surely you now have complete confidence in all the foundation work you & others put forth B4 winter. I, like all your other subscribers am eagerly looking forward to future cabin update videos. Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
I am so glad you're filming the work on your cabin. I can't wait for all the things you have in mind to fix her up. All your filming is enjoyable to watch. Will you be putting content out a couple times a week? haha
I didn’t think this video was boring!😁. When there’s a problem🤔to fix, I see solutions!💡!😁. You can get a hand held buffer (sander) machine (I guess that’s what you’d call it) and get some of that rust off of the wood burning stove and you’ll see it shine up! Just don’t go too hard on it, not to make a hole through the metal!😁. You’ll just have to feel and check for any brittle areas if any! Your idea to plant some greenery (bushes) and even grass so that the roots will absorb the rain and therefore preventing muddy areas, sliding, sinking or collapsing! I like the idea of a retaining wall!😁. I’m gonna build one for my area!😁. Thanks Mr. Slim!
A sandpaper roof?? Now I've seen everything! LOL Be careful with that "drawbridge" setup. If it's pitched towards the house, it'll channel water into the door area during rain. Keep up the good work and all the best to you, Slim!!
Nice the cabin is ok from the winter. It will be fun watching you make into a cute cozy cottage. The deck will be so nice to relax on and extend the living space. You'll be able to turn the sliding door around then. PLEASE...save the "who's on the throne" placque, it cottage history and a bit of whimsey, will give a chuckle to visitors in the throne room.
Your cabin is not boring, I love you with your cabin, and the work you have done is amazing. Your videos are great, and I can't wait until the next one. Take care Slim.
Looks like a great project for the next few seasons. Just a thought. If you had the bathroom next to the entrance door, you can slip in and out without taking off your boots.

@@SlimPotatohead I agree with Zoltan, I'd put the bedroom to have the 2 outside walls and the corner for some beautiful windows. Love your videos.
Yes the other room has dual aspect windows. Easy to move walls.
Its definitely a fixer upper. The new sliding doors and window have already given us a insight into how it's going to unfold.
You have a diamond in the rough Slim. Enjoy the renovations. Thanks for the update 😀 👍
Love to watch you tinker and build. Glad to see you back at the cabin today.
I don’t want action and jump scares which is why I like your channel. Gentle and interesting will do for me. Can’t wait to eventually see the warm cosy stove lit up. Great video Slim, thank you for sharing ♥️👍
The biggest horrors you will ever have at this cabbin, is if you have to take a crap on the thunderbox, and there's no crappin wrappin!

Hi Slim maybe the attic area can be made into a sleeping loft, while still retaining the open feeling and add a skylight to enjoy the outside.
Hey, you're giving away my secrets! Sssshhh... SP
We enjoy the cabin progress reports every bit as much as the travel sequences. Thanks much!
I look forward to every video. Please never think any of those videos are boring. Just keep plugging along.

Absolutely a nail magnet. We had our place re-roofed last year and picked up HUNDREDS of roofing nails with one of those.

Not dull at all! Keep the cabin updates coming. Also glad it survived well through the winter
Not boring. I was hoping to see the cabin again. I really like the peacock. Hope you keep him.
It’s so nice to know there are serious land use restrictions in that beautiful wild place. Your plans sound just right.
Your cabin has so much potential. Thanks for sharing.
Really, really nice! Making great progress. I would loft part of that too. When it rains, it's going to have a beautiful sound. Great to have good neighbors. You and Justincredible definitely have the right ideas for beautiful, peaceful, and scenic relaxing homes. Thanks for sharing your update. 🙂👍
Every dollar spent and time planning will be a great investment. Hours and hours of enjoyment forthcoming your new deck
Out of all the cabins I've seen over the years yours has to be my favorite one.
Glad to see you back home.
I enjoy your cabin the most. Never boring
I enjoyed your cabin tour......
& Love your View too....
& Having a Nice Deck is the Best Part of having a Cabin.... Enjoy.....
Slim, no. This is not dull at all. Thanks for the updates.
It looks like the cabin was none the worse for wear. Looking forward to your progress this summer. Keep the good stuff coming.
Good thing you left three cameras rolling when you left to document your return!
I like this. Since gas prices are high and at least I have cut back, it makes sense that you are back and working on the cabin.
Just in awe with your project Slim, such a beautiful and relaxing place and don't tell me you're all right with natural vegetation and trees! 😉 I laugh so much with the scary part of your attic. Luv you man! Keep on with your good work and trips.

Slim's Naked Cabin
Good name for the place
Thanks for the update
Love those patio doors , great sunshine coming in
Can't wait to go on this journey. Be safe!
Everyone can't wait to see how this cabin turns out Slim.
U are never dull.... always great videos..thanks for letting us tag along...take care and have fun..💚🤙🙏
Probably seeing Alan Whicker up in the roof would have been an even bigger shock! The cabin is going to be a cool place to spend time. Lovely location!
I look forward to seeing your cabin fixed up. It’s not boring to me at all. Keep us updated often and good luck with all the renovations.
I really like that little cabin. Coming along nicely 👍🏼
Love your cabin and the updates! Keep showing your progress. You have a beautiful woodsy lot complete with ocean view. Hard to find these days!
I love these kinds of videos! Glad you know what you're doing with restoration. Your reno ideas with those tiny rooms sound great. look forward to watching all the progress.
You should definitely make a loft! If you plan to take out the ceiling.
Hey Slim you could use that tarpaper under your tarp over your wood pile for extra protection.
Looks great Slim!! Will keep checking back to see progress!! Go Slim!!!
I don't find Cabin updates Dull at ALL! I love them! I cannot wait to watch your progress. I think its awesome your pulling out the ceiling, and showing rafters it will feel more cabin like. With that big wood burner you are not going to need much insulation, it will be toasty in there for sure.
Good morning slim and thank you
Morning Jason!
I love videos like this!!! Please keep posting the updates on the cabin!!! It's very inspiring!!!
I could say this for all of his videos: "Slim's the best!"
Your update was awesome. You are so much fun to watch. Can’t wait to see the rest of the build.😊
I have been excited to see you get back to the cabin and to make it into a beautiful get away. It is looking great!
Not boring at all Slim. Curious to see what upgrades you make. You’ve made some great progress.
Your channel is never dull but sometimes I do get scared. LOL. Fun place for sure.
Exciting, I'm getting the popcorn ready. Will enjoy watching the transformation.
Slim, idea. no bedroom, yes bathroom. Big open room concept with a Murphy type bed. Plus a huge deck!!
I was looking forward to seeing the cabin. Glad it didn't fall apart or critters didn't move in.
I’ve really come to appreciate your camera work.
Lol. Oh no!! It's wicker! Thanks Slim.
I can't believe you are doing this work by yourself. It's becoming an amazing transformation. Best wishes from sunny (and dry) California.
It's very Interesting how the cabin is coming along.
Thanks for the updates… and the giggles! 😄
Not dull. Glad you kept it moving
Love seeing the cabin videos as well as camping videos!!! I think you always produce quality videos and that is why I never miss one !!! Thanks slim
I have to say it, we love project videos!
you sure put a lot of work into your videos for being only one person, and still manage to slip in time to get some work done, Thank you, just stay heathy.

Kitchen and living room off the future deck entry corner bathroom 👍Thanks for sharing 👍
So glad to see that things stayed snug while you were gone. Loved the way you gave us the overview. I always enjoy your humor!

Looking forward to you cabin updates.
Hello from Australia. Great way to end the evening. A new Slim video! Glad the cabin is ok. I'm loving the variety of topics you're covering.
I loved the video and so enjoy whatever videos you put out-travel or cabin! I cant wait to see the cabin develop. You are the best.

Oh boy, I can’t wait to see the deck go up! I didn’t find this video the least bit dull and the rafters bit was hilarious! Thanks Slim!
Welcome back Slim 🙏 ☺ 😊
It all sounds GREAT !! Now get to work!! SAVE THE DARK BOARD! LOOKING GOOD!! :)
Always keep my attention more than most!
Loved the attic sequence!
I’ve been looking forward to your 2022 cabin videos! Can’t wait to follow along with all the improvements.
Enjoy you building Slim (and coffee)...thank you for the cabin update🇨🇦
looking forwards to the next video Slim .
Let’s face it Slim, you miss your Aliner. That’s way you want the ceiling open to the peak. 🤣
Your cabin is not boring, I love you with your cabin, and the work you have done is amazing. Your videos are great, and I can't wait until the next one. Take care Slim.
Looks like a great project for the next few seasons. Just a thought. If you had the bathroom next to the entrance door, you can slip in and out without taking off your boots.
It will be very nice to have a home base to return to between adventures. Good luck.
Quite the cinematographer! Great video.
The “scary” rafter sequence was hilarious.
