Welcome to our channel! This Log Cabin Project is a dream that we have had for several years that we finally decided to make a reality. Our goal is to build a tiny log cabin from scratch using as much material from our land as possible. We are building it entirely using hand tools (no chainsaw!). This cabin will function fully off-grid and will be only accessible by foot. Subscribe to follow our journey!
In this episode we scribe and notch our very last saddle notches. The two eave logs get finished and hewed flat. We construct 8 floor joists for the second floor and install them. We are now ready to start building the roof!
We are learning a lot as we are doing (as always), so don't hesitate if you have any questions, it will be a pleasure to share tips and tricks, if possible.

Thanks, James! We feel pretty confident with heights, we've been rock climbing for multiple years ahahah, but we are never far from a mistake indeed! Good to remember to be careful ;)

I have just finished watching all of the Cabin build so far, looking forward to your next one and plenty more. Cheers to you both from Pam and I from Down Under.

You two are doing an awesome job. That's a ton of hard work. She is excellent with that draw knife.

@judyschepp8748 Год назад

Hello Nick & Maela, I've just finished the first 30 videos of your cabin build and enjoyed every minute, even the tedious bits😁😁😉 You two have done a beautiful job so far and I'm excited for the rest. I'm so glad you are both over COVID and hope you have no lasting effects. Take care, be safe and love from Wisconsin, USA💕🥰❤️💙

Thank you Dave! So are we! We should be able to get the ridge log up by next week, which would be a huge milestone!

Just finished binging. You both have come a long way! I appreciate you both learned the various skills as well. Just be safe. Harnesses are cheap compared to drastic injury. Can't wait to see how the build continues.

Outstanding job! I love the duct tape patch on the gloves. Just goes to show you can repair almost anything with good old duct tape! Lol...

It's a miracle product haha. We've fixed so many things with it

@johncarter9054 2 года назад

Nice work guys : ) I like how you are using hand tools. Looks good. You selected some fine logs to work with as well.

Не знаю, сможете ли вы прочитать этот текст, но мне стоит его написать. Просто круто, смотрю вас как сериал посвященный труду и поставленной цели, к которой идете не смотря на этот тяжелый труд. Вы молодцы! продолжайте ! Привет вам из России , где умеют и любят работать руками и ценят усилия приложенные для достижения своих целей!

If you made a flexible square that you could bend around log you would do job more accurate and faster make one and try it

@BarefootJeff Год назад

Getting close....curious on actual time-line of videos. Are you a couple weeks out? Love that you have some homegrown tomatoes 🍅. Are you growing anything else?

Год назад

Hi Jeff!! Since we got Covid, our videos have been pretty close to the real time. Only now have we gotten about two weeks in advance, thanks to good weather! And we’re growing some different things, but not as much as we want ;) we have some cucumber, peas, beans, zucchini, bell pepper, strawberries, raspberries and a bunch of flowers for the bees and butterflies

@BarefootJeff Год назад

@ very cool on growing all those things. Maybe you could do a video on how you protect them from getting eaten by other animals and if you are going to can anything for the winter? Hopefully Covid wasn't too bad for you. It looks like you still made good progress 👏

@shannonwilliamson5943 2 месяца назад

Hi N & M. What a wonderful choice you have been able to make, and a great building job. I have been rewatching the evolution of things since the release of the newest video. Apologies if this has been asked and answered, but (out of curiosity) why did you not orient the cabin south-facing? Cheers!

@JohnSmith-gr8kh 2 года назад

👍🇨🇦

@Hilliorm85 Год назад

Don’t cut all the extra off that you use to climb to top. Can keep that for that very reason and/or use that corner as an outdoor storage area or shower.

@northernhappiness7499 2 года назад

Wow..!👍👍 One can assume that you guys probably stand back each days end and stare at this stunning achievement with wonderful pride . Stellar work as since day one. ✨️ 🤙 So glad Maela didn't accidentally catch the draw knife blade into her knee when hewing top floor joist..eeeek Oh and btw..which laser level are you guys using and did the tripod stand for the laser level come w it or is it just a common tripod which allows attachment to it? .thanks so much again for sharing

2 года назад

The last couple weeks, the cabin has been changing so much, we have no choice but to stare at it in disbelief at the end of the day!! The laser we’re using is from Dewalt, here’s a link: www.dewalt.ca/product/dw087k/line-laser-horizontal-and-vertical?tid=578096 Thank you for watching :)

@northernhappiness7499 Год назад

Why didn't the log fit over the window 3:58 timestamp in this video? Just wondering I do love watching you both build this cabin

@petermuller7369 2 года назад

Nice job you're doing there. I have one question: does it matter if the wood has such cracks?

2 года назад

Thank you! No it's completely normal for wood to crack like that as it dries. It's called "checking"

@ULJoshmg2011 Год назад

Hello Friends; I’ve been watching your videos for a few weeks; I haven’t been to those lands in Canada 🇨🇦, Could you please tell me what the trees are called, where do you get that beautiful wood for your cabin? Thks

@user-wn5kb5qf5q 2 года назад

А почему сразу утеплитель не ложите между бревнами так получается теплее и быстрее

@dimasletnii Год назад

так у них и пазов продольных на брёвнах нет,вон какие промежутки между брёвнами

@vickilemke8667 2 года назад

where did you get your drawknifes?

2 года назад

We got one in a small hardware store during a road trip to Gaspé, Québec. We liked it so much that we found the same one online. It's brand is Ochsenkopf

@chuckblack9410 2 года назад

I'm new so I have a question. Will this cabin be used as a weekend retreat or will you live in it permanently?

2 года назад

Permanently is the goal! As well as self-sufficiency :)

How about doing more biilding

@larryharbonic6695 2 года назад

You're very hard working couple.were are you going to finsh

@kennethbarber438 2 года назад

seems as though the joist beams should bear on more than just those tenons. Haven't you structurally turned 6" - 7" diameter logs into 2x4s?

2 года назад

They're only 2x4s for bearing and shear forces at the ends of the log, which rarely govern a beam in pure bending. The bending stresses are greatest in the middle of the beam, where we still have the full cross section. We won't have all that much load on the 2nd floor anyways. We did some quick calcs for bending, shear, and bearing and all looks good!

Cutting & felling trees is crime as per law of the land in our Country. No body is supposed to enter the jungle for any unlawful activities like cutting green trees, killing animals and grabbing forest land etc. It all comes under unlawful activities of destroying government property. No one is supposed to carry tools, gun, equipments & machinery to cut trees & kill animals in the forest. I don' t understand how you people are continously cutting & burning trees & from environment point of you making the land Barren. And no body is stopping you people from such unlawful activity.

What are you going to do with the gaps between the logs? Chink them? Personally I've always felt that was an ugly look. If I were to build, I'd put insulation strips between each log then screw them down. Like Trustin Timber is doing on his cabin.
