    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.

    • @SlimPotatohead
      @SlimPotatohead  2 роки тому +13

      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

  •  2 роки тому +37

    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!

    • @SlimPotatohead
      @SlimPotatohead  2 роки тому +6

      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

    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!

    • @faithrada
      @faithrada 2 роки тому

      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 😉

    • @faithrada

    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.

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!
