Timmy I am inspired by your willingness to get stuck in and do anything! Reminds me of this Bible verse: “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might” Ecclesiastes 9:10
Keep it up my friend! Been following for 4 years now! My favourite channel by far
Stairs are great unless your kid has seizures.. I can't wait to sell this house for one with no stairs- and more than just an acre, but that's a whole different conversation lol The house looks great! It is quite an accomplishment!
If you build chase walls. Insulate and vapour barrier the 2x6 wall before you build the second wall. Keeps it separate, it’s hard to seal a plumbing wall afterwards
Please do this.
Exactly what just came to my mind while watching
Some people may think these timmy build videos are kind of boring but i love them
My Alaskan family and friends love all your videos!! You are an Alaskan Rockstar!! We also love all the videos of your fathers place!!!
I think I enjoy the house build vids more than the camping ones, all great stuff though.
Keep up the great work, Timmy. We're excited for you to have a drink soon and enjoy all the hard work you and your friends did. Oh, and keep posting build content, it's one of our favs to watch!
Timmy's grunts whenever he does something strenuous reminds me of me whenever I get out of my car after working a stretch at the hospital! 😆 #nurselife
The roof-top fire pit - perfection!!
I used to be a carpenter when I was younger I am a 53 year old woman. Man my body hurts in places I dodnt know I had. Everywhere from working my butt. I was single Raising four sons had too!
My Hat is Off to You 🎩!! I’m considering carpentry classes because I’m tired of not knowing how to fix my home😔 I’m a single mom as well💖
I just found you recently on UA-cam. I just love your content. I live in Greece and must say I'm rather envious of where you live and what you do. I've also started binge watching your previous videos. Love it! Thanks so much!
Yay for great vids by Timmy. Enjoy
I love Thursday nights! Here’s Timmy!
I love the building videos. Never bored. I learn. I enjoy.
It was thoroughly enjoyable to watch your progress on the cabin. I just love the design, and really appreciate you taking us with you to the roof deck every so often to drink in the view. I hope you bring us along for your first fire. I will absolutely be drinking a beer right along with you in celebration. You have accomplished so much. Cheers from Nova Scotia!
You are so fortunate to have your best buds come to visit and stay to help you. It's going to be one heck of a house warming in due time. Amazing.
Honestly can't wait til you hit a million+ subs. We need to share & make that happen!
Amen ! Give timmy a break that he deserves. All his content & building a mansion isn't easy or cheap .
Amen 🙌🏻💖
@@davestevens4263But entirely his own choice, of which one is free to watch and feel zero guilt and zero pressure to fund.
No one would help you pay your bills or add money to your pay packet.
Let's keep this living off a YT channel in perspective peeps.
Got a tip fror you on the 12 2 x4 studs cut a 1/4 inch groove across the studs 1/4 inch deep across then protect it with a sheet metal cover to protect the wire, LAY THE WIRE IN THE GOOVE THE PROTECT IT WITH A THIN LAYER OF SHEET METAL IT WILL PASS CODE AND YOU DNT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT PIERCING THE WIRE WHEN YOU PUT UP THE WALL
18:09 you actually want your tub to be up against the studs that way your drywall or hardy board or whatever you’re using will float down over the tub lip. Maybe you’re doing something different that I didn’t notice either way love the content.❤
Can’t wait to see the roof top gatherings around the fire pit, little shoot dangs jam session! Beautiful sunsets in the background. Gonna be epic!
Keep them videos coming mate. Love it, don't matter if it's house building or camping I still love all the videos.
That house is legit!
GETER DONE TIMMY!!! 😜 You guys are making some great progress on this. Soon my friend.... soon you'll be able to crack a cold one, and enjoy that gas fire pit, and the views....WOW! Good stuff brother.
This man plays hard and works hard. And when he’s done with all that he gets to look at those beautiful mountains with his feet up and a beer. 🍻 cheers Timmy.
I’m with you, Timmy, on the stairs keeping you in shape. I’ve lived in a couple of four level homes with tons of stairs. They did their job! Your home with those amazing views will be an incredible respite when you’re not out adventuring. Hope you have good people to share it with. Much appreciation for all the work you’re doing and for always giving us great content!❤
That view is incredible in every direction. Kudos
You know you are a crazy talented Timmy. Skills are on point My Friend. I love watching you on your awesome adventures! Looking thru your camera Lens is Just Amazing. You are a Wonderful UA-camr Adventurer & Jack of all trades. We learning from watching you every videos we learn Something new. Thank you Timmy 💯❣️🦋☝️🙌🙏
I love your house Timmy. You've been doing an awesome job.
You had me at 2x4 😂
place is looking fantastic and that view is killer gonna catch some epic footage of the northern lights from that roof
Thanks for showing us your progress with the house. Your moving in the right direction. LOVE your view. Incredible. Thanks In California.
Is any one else screaming at the TV. The way he is doing some of the work. I remember my first day building. lol. I must be getting old 😂🤣😂
NEXT SHOW, HOME BUILDING WITH TIMMY! LOVE IT!!❤
All awesome!! You must feel so proud and confident. Thanks for sharing.👍😎🇨🇦💫🔨 Rooftop firepit...🔥👍👍👍👍👍
For right now, they are perfect for you. It’s a beautiful house and soon it will be a beautiful home!
Beautiful ❤
Wow !
House of any family- dreams
You should be proud of yourself 🎉
Maybe not regret having stairs.... But you're going to regret that spiral metal ankle breaker!😆
yea i wouldn't use that thing
I just want to put this out there, as cheesy as it sounds this is what im aiming for with my life. "vanlife" for the next 10 ish years and then eventually move to alaska. Im currently homeless but honestly channels like yours and a handful of others give me hope for the future. Thanks for the videos man. They're definitely keeping me afloat
Promise me you’ll pull an elevator in the house before I’m dead and gone 🤣🤣🤣🤣
So much respect for you, Timmy. You never give up. You look for solutions to potential roadblocks. You keep putting one foot in front of the other. I bet cha you have no idea how many people you inspire. Thanks from this one! ✌️
Casually singing Daniel tiger’s tune! Love it!
I LOVE your houses (Truck and actual) I love the siding too. Beautiful views, and great use of natural lighting. Love your videos and can't wait for more! These are great! Definitely not bored. Learning a lot!
Timmy, one lesson I have learned about this life so far? Preserve your peace at all costs. Oh, and watch out for charlatans. Lol : )
that last part is not easy to do..esp when they hide it well and for years.
The geriatric years or disability years is what’s probably meant. Beautiful house, great work.
Agree, OR if u happen to be only 46 and need a total hip replacement..😔
Tim I live in a suburb just north of NYC . If your house was in New York your house would cost a few million dollars. I love your show. Keep them coming
Here in Canada his house is $55,000,000
Super nice work on the House my friend!👍
It's wonderful to see how far you've come. Your dream home is fast becoming a reality. Congratulations.
Man, building a house is a marathon. Way to go Timmy! You got this! Every little thing you do is just another step towards completion!
I was born and raised in Alaska. We vacationed on Big Lake in our log cabin with a purple outhouse. Later as a teenager we moved to Wasilla Lake with our canoe and motorboat. My dad kept his plane on Big Lake and Wasilla Lake at our home year around. My dad was a Bush Pilot for hunters, fisherman and the Iditarod Race. I appreciate watching your videos of Alaska because I grew up in Alaska in the winter snow, the summers picking berries and fighting the crazy big mosquitoes. You are a total inspiration!!
Looking good Timmy 🤘 we like the house build videos just as much as the others.
Thanks Timmy
Awesome miraculous job
And helpers
Love your positivity! Not sure why I find it comforting to follow along with you but I like it. Happy to see you happy. Can't wait to see you sitting up there by the fire all comfy in your chair enjoying a beer when it hits you and you feel accomplished 😁
Keep up the good work.
Can't wait to see the finished project. It's looking amazing. 👍
I love this video reminded me of my late dad we used to do so much together roofing was one them so glad you're doing this so cool😊
That crib looks awesome Dude! I'm anxious for tomorrow.
Looks AMAZING Timmy! You’re a guy who can do EVERYTHING 👏🏻☺️
Timmy your doing a good job I cannot wait when you're completely finished with your whole house..🙏🏼🙏🏼✌🏼👍
Beautiful Timmy.
Gorgeous day! I can't wait to see when it is all done. It looks amazing. I love the woodstove.
If there's a water drain on your air compressor's tank, open the valve and leave it open until the next time you want to use the compressor. Start the compressor with the valve open and shut if off once the motor is started. It will protect your air tank from rust and enable your compressor to start much easier. Enjoy your videos. Just don't ring the bell in the Salty Dawg Saloon in Homer Spit when you first enter.
As for the stairs, you can always get one of those chair lifts like my parents did for their stairs when they were elderly. I LOVE your house AND the stairs! ❤️
Could add a sub panel somewhere on your 3rd floor to give you a closer distribution point and it might even save you some wire instead of having to go to the basement with each circuit. House is coming along nicely, you’ve got a great set of skills and are very inspiring to watch and learn from.
Love watching you and learning how to build a house! Thanks Timmy.
Timmy your content continues to be off the charts contagious. Your a one of a kind but aren't we all? The Diety in me bows before the Diety in you, the Lord bless you brother and I can't wait to see this one tomorrow ! Peace and Luv !
So happy for you. The peace you will have sitting on your roof deck later on is going to be epic. I can see the smile on your face already.😊❤️
Timmy! Wasn’t able to catch the live stream today but just caught up on the video! Hang in there Buddy! Have been through the building process and it can suck! You’re doing a great job! Looks like the place is coming together and gonna be really great! Love the videos! Thank you for bringing us with you!!
enjoyed watching you work!
Cool video. That is so much work. When it is done I hope you take some time to enjoy the fruits of your hard work.
Tim "the toolman..." you should get your own show, lol.
When u build your walls behind your tubs always shift the middle stud off set so u have room for shower valve I have been a plumber in Georgia for 16 yrs
I noticed that too & commented about it, He did actually correct it , you can see 4 studs in the wall at 50:58, but don't blink or you will miss it LOL
You say you don't know what you are doing...but you obviously have so much natural talent like your father about building and wood working. You and your dad have so much talent.
Timmy, I'm really enjoying the cabin build. Rock on.
Just absolutely love your house with the views..what alot of work..but well worth it..cheers and hugz From The Yukon Territory and purrz from Bob-0-Lynx 😊❤😊
Man, i absolutely love your house. It's awesome.
👍 good work man!
It's a little bit late but I've drilled through spots like that 13 stud "tree" by using a standard bit. When it hits maximum depth, I remove it from the chuck (still in the wood) and add a six inch extension. Repeating and adding extensions until I drill all the way through. It's kind of like a well driller would function.
Thanks for the content. Keep on gettin' it.
Coming along nicely. People don't realize all the steps and planning to be done before the walls go on.
DANG Timmy, all that wire made my eyes cross! So much work! Remember to eat the elephant one bite at a time. Good job.
Great looking home! Great looking scenery!
Your doing a hell of a nice job. Electricity wires, you have a bunch of them. Good system with because you would be all mixed up. I Enjoy your videos.
Wow this place huge and the view is to die ❤ AMAZING ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Dude, I love the channel, I'm new here, from Argentina, I have been sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for that diesel heater to finally work!
Looking forward to your future adventures, definitely inspired to build a small cabin on the back of a truck, so original and useful!
Your camera does perfect justice for all of us that know what we're looking at bro.
You are one talented man. Amazing you are building your house on your own, with a little help from your friends.
I'm not a builder either.... watching you to learn😂
That house is awesome! I’m excited for tomorrow, these premiers are awesome, wish more would do it. You’re doing great Timmy!! I am literally Binge Watching videos,l!!

That is an amazing cabin I'm sure you're very proud of it I can't wait to see it finished. The view is spectacular I love your videos I look forward every time it comes up. I've watched the labor you put into that it's nice to be versatile. Congrats on a beautiful cabin.
Hello Timmy , I ordered a coffee mug, all I received was a box of broken glass.

Love your videos Timmy! Seeing the views from your house makes me want to see what’s around close to home for you there. Maybe a video of some paddling on the river there or fishing on the ocean or climbing some of the peaks you can see from your place ?
You’re a crazy hard working man Timmy. Great job.
Great vid Timmy! Just want to tell you I've enjoyed each one, your a Rock Star! Keep em coming.
