Another great video Jon, I look forward to every one! From fiddles to buildings you always find a way to show some joy in everything you do. Blessings, J
Hi Jon, Boy I'm learning alot, I really like the roasting coffee beans in the pop corn popper, Fantastic idea and just got my coffee beans in. Your cabin is really taking shape, great job and am thankful your taking the time to show your progress. Am starting mine in a couple of weeks. Absolutely beautiful with an easy to understand approach to do the work. Wonderful family. 10 thumbs up.
Every time I see one of your videos in my suggested video's I get excited. It's cool how much you understand as far as construction, and I look forward to many more! Wonderful family you have there too.
Your daughter has a great voice! Nice to watch the progress and it's kinda weird watching you do that jig, my great uncle taught me that trick when I was a pup! Great video as always and great tips!
Just keeps getting better. And your daughter sings and play very well, God bless her. At 16:20 you mentioned Ryobi and it took me back some years. That's the company that bought Milwaukee Electric Tools, when I worked for them. Jon, you are a man referred to as, "The jack of All trades". You are truly blessed my friend. Awesome country scenery with all kinds of nature resources all around.. God is good. Be blessed and encouraged.
U r a seriously Blessed dad! U and your daughter r very talented. Praise the Lord with musical instruments and praise. Just discovered your videos, the compost toilet got my interest. Hoping u have some detailed simple cabinet making videos that don't require special tools. Love your simple dado technique. I will b doing a school bus build and want to do most of it myself as a 62 year old female. Thanks for sharing.
Thankyou very much Eileen :) You are very kind! Yes! The Lord is good! I have been quite busy for some time this summer with a couple kids getting married and playing with grandkids. I do need to make another video...now that everyone expects them, haha. I am not going to be building any cabinets soon...but there are many simple techniques available --- the best one is to simply cut out pieces of plywood. A simple dado on the doors and you're done.
Hahahha it took me about thirty seconds for the kid smearing mud into every crack comment. Good one only parent's know about and we don't pass that knowledge on to our kids so we can get a good laugh and tell them how good a mud smearer they were as a kid when we get that phone call from them lol
Jon, another interesting video. Just curious what it would cost to sink a well on Gods end of the state. At 12 gallons, your girls are quick in the shower. LOL Talented family. You have been blessed. For anyone else; The last shower I tiled was a 3' x 6'. I used 4"x4" hexagon ceramic floor (textured) tile. Stuck one to the floor drain with double sided tape (line up opposite sides parallel to the long walls) and then used it to line up all the surrounding pieces. Went from there to the walls. Usually installers start at the wall and end up with a chipped and ugly mess around the drain. Working out from drain makes a nice clean installation around the drain. You have to cut a lot of tiles for the edge where the wall tiles will come down to meet the floor, but is worth the effort.
That's a cool idea to tile the floor, Max. Thankks for the kind words! Yeah......got the girls trained pretty good. The camper we were in only had a 5 gallon water heater! They would try to shower in 3 minutes. Pretty good girls!!
Just came across your channel. Love watching your projects, you play a mean fiddle, and I love that song your daughter was singing. Where you guys at in the south that was getting snow?
@@grandpasmountain we're in North Central Arkansas. Moved here from Nebraska about 2 1/2 years ago. Been slow progress on our cabin. But it's getting there.
@@grandpasmountain our property was in such disrepair, that a lot of our time has been cleaning up from the past owner. It took us almost 2 years to get our indoor plumbing going. Slowly but surely though it is happening.
Love the cabin.. I am in the middle of clearing land to build one just like this 24x32.. I am also in Tennessee. What part are you in..we live in Clifton tn. And would love more Info on you cabin..love your videos .keep them coming.
Hi, Brad-- I'm in Mountain City. Thanks for the kind words. Anything I can do to help, let me know. You can email me at riding on two wheels at gmail dot com.
Dear Jon, I was searching for such nice bungalow .... found you and followed all parts ...thx for sharing such milestones , and i will do the same soon ... but as per your notes , it is 16 ft wide, 18 ft radius but what is the height pls? thx
The height ended up about 15', I think. Inside it's abut 14' The footprint is 16 x 20. Sorry for the late reply. You can email me if you like: riding on two wheels at Gmail dot com.
Are you going to give approx cost of building gothic build compared to traditional? We have some land and we r looking for a cheap way to get living quarters there
Yes, buried in my videos, I do give my costs.... The currently (5-18-2018) nearly complete bungalow is under $7000. What is left is cabinets and a stove. This is about 50% less than a traditional build. Some savings are found in unexpected places, like having no trim, eves and soffits. If one were to go 4' wider and 4' longer, I think you would find it a satisfactory home for 4. Current size is 16x20. The additional footage would allow closets and generally more space. We love our bungalow. It feels remarkably roomy and we were able to heat with a single electric radiator.
I used to build homes, too. It was fun....and a little more challenging to think outside the box and not do the same ol' same ol'. The arches are essentially the wing ribs from the Wright Brother's airplane stood up on end. (I used to build planes). They are very strong. The air flow through here is wonderful, and nice and bright-- something we were worried about with solid walls. Hope to hear how you do on your project!!!! Good luck!
No :) I have built several custom showers over the years, and the mortor (thinset) loves to adhere to the wonderboard. I just never locate a seam (grout joint) over a seam in the panels....that would cause a crack.
I absolutely hate that style of water handle, I'm ol school ,& prefer the 2 handle h/c shower handles, & that big outdoor water tank, is going to algae up on you on the inside, you need the black tanks
The single handle is Code in the U.S. and the standard. Makes TONS more sense than 2 handles anyway. I don't have to worry about my grandkids getting burned. Water tank is fine. I didn't just leave it out in the sun. No Algae at all after all these months.
