In this episode, we do another wall of mortar chinking, this time using a wire mesh to hold the mortar together. We then build a new set of front stairs off the south side of the porch that leads directly to the garden. We also increase our solar power capacity using the Jacker Explorer 2000 Plus. We finish the video by installing out bathtub, the drain, and the shower curtain.
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!
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.

If you would take a light brush across it when your done, it would take out the rest of the imperfections. I'm 30 + yr Mason, that's what we do when we lay stone.

Wow, just wow! Look at what these amazing folks have accomplished all on their own. It's truly inspiring to see what can be achieved with passion, determination, and a little bit of elbow grease. Their remarkable work is a shining example that reminds us to never underestimate the power within ourselves to create something truly extraordinary❤😊

Yes and I have not watched all the videos don’t think I ever saw then he and power tools and just regular small hammers and no framing hammers.That bow saw sure looks like it cm in handy.

@Ron_Masterjohn 11 месяцев назад

Amazing work guys and had to be in great shape when u started and then really good shape when you finished. Don’t think you have and problems heating and cooking with all those trees to use as firewood. Awesome going Jackery with solar panels.

The cutest couple ever, patience and perseverance, My father was a General contractor so we’re my 4 Brothers, me being the girl, I worked on every job site, it was so rewarding and an absolute pleasure to get to work as a team with my family, I am so proud of you two, I know you have worked on other jobs as well, you just know way to much not to,, I’m 70 yrs now and I remember using all the same hand tools, really satisfying to watch you and brought back so many wonderful memories, God bless you both, keep up the great work, can’t weight to see the inside of your beautiful home

Just stayed up all night binge watching up to Ep. 42 . Nick, Maela is a keeper. She wore out a pair of shoes in one night, 😂. Take her out and buy her some good hiking 🥾 shoes, she deserves them. Y'all are an awesome couple.

@jeffreysanger5499 7 месяцев назад

Very good work Watch you and your wife build your cabin, it was nice to see you guys not put dead lines on yourselves.....no drama. You are both very good at messaging, amazing job of sizing logs for the floor. House went together with very little talking. Very impressive, thanks for sharing, only one fear , putting plastic on the underside of the roof in winter will cause the house to sweet. Moisture from our breath needs to get out, it may take a year or two before you notice that. All in all very good workmanship

@yvonnesimmons9001 11 месяцев назад

Congratulations you two. LOVE YOUR VIDEOS. It is a testament to you both that you decided to redo the chinking. This new application looks much better and will provide that protection and loss of heat in the winter. Working in northern Canada in bug season is really hard. I know, living in northern British Columbia, Late May and June was for determined heroes. It is a wonderful feeling building and learning as you go. My husband has long passed, but we had some wonderful 40 years. Keep at you both, right now you are just thinking about building your own home, but you are really building memories - and they live forever ❤❤

I discovered your chanel by accident , it was the one that you were first building the cabin. I fell asleep watching some other vlogs, and woke up 2 am and there you were! I just closed the laptop, and when I woke up I watched the whole thing, and after one other (this one) I subscribed! I love what you guys are doing, but what makes any chanel a keeper for me is the people , and you two are awesome and I love watching! Im glad I have lots to catch up on, so you will be hearing from me soon!

First and foremost, I would like to say how happy I am for the both of you that Zachary reached out to you and is supplying you with some power. I do not know two individuals who deserve it more than the two of you. Also, I am from the United States but I believe July 1 is Canada day where ours is on July 4Th. So happy Canada Day if I have that right !!😊. I could watch the two of you work all day long because you seem to be in sync with each other. I’ve said it 100 times, but I’m gonna say it again the two of you absolutely impress me. Catch you on your next video and in the meantime, may God continue to bless both of you. ❤😊👏✌🏼😎🥇🥇🥇

Hello Nick and Maela: another thank you for bring us a long while you two are building your home. I really like the way this cabin is coming out and the care that you two are putting into your new home. Have fun and take a few breaks along the way but you are making a lot of progress and doing things the best way and this cabin should last for a long time. I am very happy for both of you. Don't take chances and work smart like both of you have been doing. Keep safe and I will see you next time.

Flowing water????? Congratulations. The house is beautiful. If you want running water at the log cabin......There are water pumps that do not need electricity and run for decades at no extra costs. Some of these are used here in the Swiss Alps. Inexpensive and just perfect if the source is far away or below the log cabin, for example. Search the internet for the following words: "Aries hydraulic water pump, How it works". As skilled as you both are, you can even build this pump yourself. Have fun...... Greetings from Switzerland

Your skill set is top notch! Good luck and I will think of you two enjoying the most glamorous scenery I have seen in a while... WOW you two!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congrats....

@johnhenderson8360 10 месяцев назад

I love your channel and your workmanship is outstanding. My first question was going to be about the fires, thanks for your comment on them. I would love to know how your chinking works out. I put chinking on a lean-to (three sided log structure) and I used two different materials, Mortar mix and the other was a USG product Wood Fiber Plaster. My log were not dry so as the logs dried the chinking would pull away. Personally I liked the wood fiber plaster better. I used light weight chicken wire wadded up and where the chinking caught the wire it stayed pretty well. I think your bent over nails will work. Please keep us posted.

4 Next Time; Leave Insulation Chinking >Tightly< Tucked Into The Joints. Now Roll Out The Screen Mesh [Next Time Us Larger Hole Mesh = Cement Pushes Through 4 A Better Hold], The Full Length Of The Wall & Cut Into {Depending On The Width Of Ur Gap} 2"-3"-4" Wide Strips & Fold In Half = U Now Have 1 Piece Of Screen Mesh = No Joins... Now, Just Staple It In Place [Staples R All U Need], Once The Morter Dries, It Will Be Stuck 2 The Logs\Mesh & Insulation. Mine Is 20+ Yrs & It's Never Fallen Out & Only The ODD Hair Line Cracks. Oh Tip = Stronger On The Cement, Over The Sand = Elements Don't Affect It As Easily... U Can Also Put A Cement Sealer On It...
