🤣15:30 not even a double chocolate chip cookie🖐😜😎🍻Cheers

Great to see progress on Mini-cabin. I didn't have a lot of time yesterday to expand on my congratulations comment. The reasons I subscribe and view as soon as I see your video posted are: 1) you focus on what you are doing, not trying to create content; 2) your videos are well done but not slick/phony; 3) you involve the whole family, especially including Hunter whenever possible (a couple of friends/coworkers have children on the autism spectrum and you are really doing it right with Hunter helping him continue to progress) ; 4) you and your family are grounded (I loved it when Eva goosed Hannah with the battery leaf blower); 5) the products you spotlight and your sponsors are solid performers which is becoming more rare on RU-vid as time goes on; and 6) the variety of your videos is really outstanding, not just the same thing over and over. Keep up the good work, congratulations to the whole Morgan clan.

Hunting Cabin is Coming Together Very Nicely!!👍👊

Regarding the purchase of new tools, a couple of years ago, I needed to cut two pieces of PVC for a drain. (YES! I had a hacksaw). So, I told my beautiful wife the chop saw was "dead" & needed to get another. I told her it SHOULD only be about $200.00 When I returned with my amazing Kobalt dual bevel, 12" radial arm saw WITH the portable/fold up workbench...it wasn't as well received as your new nailer. It is still one of the best $700.00 purchases a guy, (or girl), could make. Love what you guys are building! TII

Keep up the Strong Effort! 👍👍👍 Thanks!

What a lucky guy you are, Mike! A helper that is more than capable in so many ways, plus she doubles as your movie date!!!!!! 😁

People with good ideas cost a dime a dozen, people that make things happen are priceless. Mike you sure are priceless. Bravo !! Keep up that great adventure.

Mike, I know what you mean about the 'armchair experts' telling you what, and what not to do. I've been watching you for about three years, and if there's one thing I know, you are always cognizant on safety and preciseness. -- BTW, it's easy for us to allow all the extra unseen work go unnoticed; but, the moving of the cameras and the setups are so greatly appreciated. Thank you Mike & Melissa for all your efforts! (;-D

If you tack a board along the wall and but the fancy boards into it - they all align. Doing a Great Job !

Hey Mike I'm Robert Kowalsk from New Hampshire and I have really gotten into watching you at work. Weather it be logging, splitting wood, making really nice boards from trees on the property I have learned alot ready I really like the items you choose to work with and or try out, Not only that I like how your wife comes out to help out to really awesome to see the team that makes it all happen. You guys are amazing. I always look forward to seeing more things from you and your wife. I really can't stress enough bout your safety ways make my yourself safe at all times when working highest respect for you and all you do. Thank you from New Hampshire.

Keep on smiling, Melissa. You do make the show!

Hi Mike, I' m pleased that you showed you wee mistake with the gable ladder for the far side of the roof, others would have edited this wee error out. This shows us what a decent and honest guy you are. The thing is we all make mistakes in all things in life, it's important to recognise them honestly and move on and learn from them. I admire your honesty, and that's one of the reasons why your viewing statistics are increasing daily, you give good honest, common sense, advice. Keep up the good work 😜.

Yes your end is good, melissa

20:01 She says, "My end is good". You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!! Lucky man Mike.....lucky man! TII

Thank goodness Mike Morgan finally screwed something up! I was beginning to get an inferiority complex. LOL.

Mike and Melissa, Thanks again for your videos and just sharing with us your lives. John in Pensacola, Fl.

you all work together so well...Keep it up !

Great to see you both working together, your doing a good job. God Bless

Looking great, I've been following and enjoying y'all for a while now, but I'm almost obsessed with this project. Everytime I get on RU-vid the 1st thing I check is your feed to see if there's a new update. I'm not a hunter but this project has inspired me to build something similar. Living in Florida it will be mostly screened in, but watching this episode makes me want to use some siding somewhere, maybe on the bottom 1/2 of the wall and screen the top part. And I still think y'all should screen in the bottom of the cabin. It would give you a nice shady, bug free area for the grandkids to play in.😊 Thanks for your videos, ideas and inspiration.

One sandwiches from Arby's and gloves One new tool always a good trade Love the videos

"My ends good"....It certainly is Mrs Morgan. That's a cozy little lovenest you're creating there Mike.

Really enjoy your vids here in East Texas. reminds me of the summer I spent in New Kensington and the area around. Except y’all spend a whole lot more time in the woods than I did back then.. thanks for all your hard work.

Not really sure how you messed up Mike, yet surprised because you are a perfectionist. I admire your honesty. Like you said. An easy fix. You are honorable. :~)

I now have a NEW favorite Sound bite! Siding looks Great! Hey HUNTER!

I agree, that siding is going to look great. I have both a finish and framing nailer too but mine are pneumatic. I really like those battery powered tools, saves you a bunch of set up time. Say hi to Hunter..

Love to watch your videos. The accompanying Music is fantastic!!

Mike knew he was going to need a finish nail gun for the pool house, so he bought it now, he's always thinking ahead!

It's good to hear about your mistakes, Most people wouldn't admit them. I"m glad you are the kind of guy to does that. Great job, on the mini-cabin. I love your channel. May God Bless you in all you do. You have earned your RU-vid plack from all the work you do as well.

Mark Priddy Fort Worth Texas 59 years old Started watching Morgans last spring when I started helping my 82 year old dad down in Stephenville TX hour fifteen min drive not bad. I go every Saturday. He developed some health problems so im taking care of his twenty five acres. Six of the acres are red and white oak. The rest is fine costal hay for ag exempt tax. Id never ran a zero turn and now mow about four acres. Ive also been using his New Holand 60 hp with box blade and front end loader to clean out the fence line and make trails in the 6 acres of oaks. I bought a 27 ton wood splitter and bring home wood every week to spilt and have split two 4x4x8 cords. I have really really enjoyed watching and learning from you'll. I have picked up meany tips. I blow leaves from under a pecan tree today for about two hours. I thought of youll and your leaf blow. I always think about how hard the Morgans work and it helps keep me motivated. You’ll are really an inspiration. Thanks for all your help. 😎

Looks very nice. I like the way it is coming together, can't wait to see it dried in. Thank you and God bless.

For what its worth, you are a good hard working humble man Mr. Morgan. Bravo Zulu!

Mike glad to see your not slacking off on these shortened days in the garage and with Melissa on your SIDE things looking good....(with that that nail gun going off...deer are probably thinking it,s opening day already???)

I’m SOOO excited to see this mini cabin completed. Ditch work and git er done!!

That was a very clever design Mike, well done on a great build!

Your cabin is looking nice and it is always nice when a person can justify the purchase of a new tool. Keep the good work up.

Nice to see you back to work on the cabin/blind/shelter. That siding looks great; good, natural color.

Hey Mike glad you thought of the easy fix for the end rafter. I was thinking the same thing.

The siding is beautiful. Great color! Watching you having to work alone really made me feel that I wanted to help. If that were my cabin, I'd put about 3-4" of flashing behind/ under the lowest piece of siding to keep the water away from the 2 x 10". Mistakes are too easy to make when constructing off site. You've done well.

The siding looks really nice...Great staining and that is going to be SWEEEEET !!!! Be safe out there and God Bless :)

I would love to be in Western Pa. working along with Mike Morgan. This channel is by far the best I have found on RU-vid. Have a great day and even better tomorrow.

Like watching the videos while I have my morning coffee.

Nice color choice on the siding. You must be pleased to get this far. I hope the snow is light and you’re unhampered with the next steps of your plan. Thanks for this video. Top quality as always. Y’all have a Day!

Mr. Mike the siding looks fantastic. Perhaps before you put on the trim you can hit the end grains with some stain to protect from end rot. Just a thought Really looks great. Miss Mellisa, love that beautiful smile as always.

Looking good, you two, the Mimi cabin will be the next big attraction in Western Pennsylvania, lol. Wouldn’t be surprised if the “fox” visit! Love those yellow tools, but some of mine are 20 years old, but I have an old hammer that’s older than that, I’ve wore out three handles and two heads on it. Blessings to all especially the main man Hunter! 👍👍👍👍👍❤️💜💙💚💗

The mini cabin is coming along nicely, looks good. Say hey to the family and yall HAVE A DAY 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Mike, I was watching you nail up that first piece of siding and I said to myself "Wow that nail gun can shoot framing nails and finish nails? Cool". And then you explained, lol. You had me for a bit!

Great concrete work. I’ve seen a lot of concrete finishing which you can’t all professional. Tom does excellent work.

I like the siding. I have been watching for the siding.

lol! I wouldn’t call that a screwup, more like an oopsie! Lord knows I’m an expert at oopsies , screwups and awshits! LOL! Your building is looking great! Thank You for sharing!

Mike, Melissa's end always looks fine. ...Ending the video with free flowing mane, movie star face, and lovely smile, is a very good move. some might question using time lapse during the segment featuring your lovely partner. RU-vid provides lower playback speeds to work around such issues. A slower speed might catch Hanna's rare smiles too. You folks shall make what is usually a cold and bleak season much brighter and warmer. God bless you' all..

Nice job guys, the cabin is looking great. Your siding was definitely worth waiting for.

Love watching your videos and as a DIY myself , I would rather fix it or build it as apposed to hiring someone else then only to supervise their work. Mans Goal before leaving this life=" He who has the most toys, WINS " Never apologize for a new tool, it's and investment and an venture into a new skill . "

That's going to look wonderful!

Mini cabins really looking nice

Love the progress on the mini cabin... liking the choice of stain color as well... thumbs up all around.. :)

The mini cabin is looking great ... love the choice of siding. Hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Hey Mike, regarding the "wobble", you can remove that by running DIAGONAL 2 x 4 BRACING on your corner posts. I highly recommend this unless you are going to be storing anything under the blind. sure, the siding and roof will tighten things, buy diagonal braces will REMOVE THE WOBBLING. A scaffold plank between two ladders will save a lot of "ups and downs" on the ladder. of course it is easy to be sitting here and supervising your work! lol

Can't wait to see the outhouse build.

Hey guys Congratulations on the Silver button Award, and Love You Guys videos, and the mini cabin is coming along great !!!!

Hey what’s going on you guys We live in upstate New York about 30 miles north of Syracuse on the tug hill plateau love watching your videos love you guys thank you for sharing your wonderful videos peace and love...👍❤️🙏☮️✌️

A good reason for the wobble in the Mini - Cabin is because there are no diagonal bracing on the legs. Don't forget your high school geometry, "a triangle is very stable".

I like the new stairway at the end. The siding looks great too.

Love it M& M; keep working on the mini cabin! Wish I had some of your cherry logs down here!

Been waiting for this one! 😀 Watching now.

the mini cabin is looking great! excellent Mike! Love how you both work so good together. Cold here in southern Illinois. Always enjoy your videos. Keep them coming. Love your pretty face too Melissa a great addition! Don`t stop! a excellent couple!

Great work, and congratulations again. 👍

Melissa, remember a man can never have to many tools. It’s a lifetime hobby. Nice gun Mike. I bought some a couple of years ago to do trim work in the house. It sure beats dragging a compressor and hose thru the house.

We always braced the walls on the inside before putting up the trusses and rafters. Keeps things plumb, square and standing.

OK, "Hows your end look"..LOL Outstanding effort Mike and way to go in just focusing on the 1 item you bought

Hey Mike and Melissa, great video with the two of working together on the tower blind. It’s going to be awesome when you’re finished. Good catch on the oops Mike, you can put the notch back in to cover from under too so it can be nailed with the trim. Keep up the good work and videos , I’m enjoying the ride along.

Hey Mike, please forgive me but when you were nailing up the siding, every time you would ask Melissa how her end was, I would chuckle and say her end is pretty darn fine! 😀

I'm waiting for the 500,000 play button, the way y'all are going it will be here sooner than you think. Thank You. JAKE.

Looks awesome !

Looking awesome 👏

Looking good!

Her end looks real good from here lol You do not need to rip those rafter boards apart just notch the notches on the opposite side. I would not worry know one going to see it. Melissa glad you're wearing your helmet. Its always good to be safe and make sure your girl's wear there helmets when riding. GOD BLESS. And you and your family have blessed thanksgiving this Thursday.

Great cabin build nice e-bike she’s a rider in the storm

You have to have the right tool for every job. And we all know you can't have enough tools

Hey Mike nothing wrong with a tool addiction. I have the same problem. Keep up the great work you guys rock

I like the your choice of siding and the new tool

Coming along nicely

The sidings going to look good when done. Plan "B" this is I gather - Like the color stain. So, just cut on other side, [my line]gonna be covered anyway! Have a safe weekend.

Congrats 🎊

Mini cabin looking nice.

Hi Mike, I'm way out west, in sunny Southern California, about 75 degree high today. Been a follower for about a year or so, but have never posted. I'd like to make a few observations/suggestions on the mini cabin. If you would have used balloon framing on the tall peak wall and the two gable end walls, it would have been simpler and quicker and significantly stronger in the vertical plane. It dose, of course, require some math and a clear design from the start. Only additional work is to cut the gable wall studs to the pitch of the roof. Tie the top plates together with some Simpson straps as you won't have the double top plates to lap at the corners. Additionally I would strongly recommend some form of house wrap or tar paper under the siding for additional water proofing and air infiltration barrier. You will be shocked how much cold will get through the cracks, especially if/when the siding shrinks and warps, as all wood does to some extent. I would also suggest extending the siding to below the bottom level of the floor joists to protect the joists and especially the top of the posts from getting soaked every time it rains. Not sure what you are planning for the roof, but for sure 30# tar paper and don't forget the metal flashing all around. Not trying to be a jerk, I just want your efforts last for a lifetime... well at least as long as possible. Don't work too hard, and stay warm.

Looking good 👍

Looks really nice

I was st wondering as the video was ending if Melissa was going to go into the basement. I laughed out loud !!!!!!! You guys are hilarious. Cheers from Oklahoma.

The cabin is coming along well

Doing Great Mike. You can use a scrap piece of the siding, 6 or 8 inches, to hammer the siding in place instead of using the butt end of the hammer. Keeps the tongue safe from mushrooming.

Great Job!!!!!

Good stuff, as always 🤗

The right tools does the job right.

Was reading comments at the end of video, almost missed the staircase exit...👍🏻👍🏻

Hi Mike, I just wanted to let you know I got a deer on the lhalf hour of my 16 day rifle hunting season on my property 15 miles NE of Duluth MN. I've been hunting since I was twelve and now I'm 74.It's a 2 year old doe just perfect for my wife and I. We process our meat our selves. Thanks for your videosas it brings back memories when I cut trees on my property for my own use, used to pull them out full legth with my 65 Polaris snowmobile. Mostly paper birchthat were dying.

It's Okay, Mike... You can use all the new nail-guns... to build that garage for that new *MUSTANG CONVERTIBLE* in January!!! (oh, AND that Gazebo in June.....next to the new pool!!!) :-) Are you putting an asphalt shingle roof on the cabin?? You're gonna need a ROOFING NAILER too.

Happy new finish nailer mike. Now next spring you are going to have to put in a pool for Melissa and the girls!!!!

looking great

Mike, Mike, Mike! You have the best wife ever. It's amazing that she will stay and help you work on your new dog house after breaking the news of buying a new toy. My wife just yells and asks, "Did you REALLY need that?" 😂

That is going to look nice. Hello Hunter. I didn't know that there were different nailers either. Ed
