Wow! So impressive and a great example of going against our culture’s “get it fast and go in debt” way of building a home. You motivate me to take my time, learn, and ask for help instead of those quick buys! You’re my hero

My husband and I live in a log home built in 1853. One great tip I would give you which is esthetically pleasing and is an amazing safety feature is to thread your electrical wiring through 1/2 inch electrical steel conduit pipe . This allows you to be able to transport power anywhere along your walls and has an industrial vibe. We painted ours black. Happy to send u pictures if you would like a visual.

You’ve done such a beautiful job creating a forever home. So warm, so comforting, so focused on what matters as we pass through this life. Just wonderful. A soon, a tiny roommate to fill your hearts. It doesn’t get better than that. Much love to you two, and your miniature version soon to be. ❤

Wow great job Kalle, this is such a change. You made this cabin a real home!! Greetings from a Canadian cabin 😊❤

It's a real pleasure to watch how you make your dreams come true 😊❤️

We call those cable rolls, spools in English. Love the cabin

i would recomend you getting a tractor not even a new one just a old massey ferguson tea 21 just a small and reliable or even a volvo 425 krabat might be more common in sweden you could run a small generator in case electrity goes out pull a trailer to pull stuff like the oven you got make it gasoline so it can start during the winter

Kalle, I can fully appreciate Christine's complaints about the flow of the kitchen. It has none. I know what I would do with it. You need to put in an electrical stove and oven for when you don't need the fire, but the biggest thing would be an island bench in the middle of the room. That bench would have a very heavy wooden top so you can use it as a chopping board as well and the rest of the structure would have cupboards and draws in it. However, above the island bench, hanging from an old decorative rack of some sort that you like the look of and it could be anything at all, that is attached to or hanging from the ceiling, would be all of my pots, pans and large cooking utensils. Also, make sure there is a good light in the middle of the ceiling above the island bench giving you lots of light to see what you are doing. With the island bench located in the middle of the room, you can prepare your food, then turn around and place it directly onto which ever stove you are using. Make the island bench substantial. You don't need walking space in that room anywhere near as much as you need food preparation bench top space. So, don't scrimp and put some tiny bench in the middle. Go big or go home!

Seeing the progression has been such a treat! I specifically remember the kitchen remodel so vividly, time has flown!

Do your preserve food from your garden in the summer? If you learned how to dry and ‘can’ your own food that you grow in your garden you could contribute a lot to your monthly food budget, and when you can it yourself you know exactly what goes into it. When we were a young family with four children in northern Canada, we would can hundreds of jars a year. We canned fruits and vegetables ( some of which we bought from other people when they were in season and they were things we didn’t grow at all or not enough of), but we also canned fish, homemade soups and pasta sauces, salsas, pickles and relishes, and while we didn’t it is possible to can meat. Where you would run into trouble is that with no heat and running water, cans would freeze, which would obviously be a problem! However, you could easily dehydrate a lot of fruits, vegetables ,soups,stews and even meat to help get you through those long winter months ! Something for you to think about going forward, especially as you have a family and more mouths to feed. It also brings a sense of joy to know that you are producing and preserving for the physical needs of your . I am very much enjoying watching your Utube channel, and admire your perseverance. We have best friends who lived with 5 children in northern Canada with almost no insulation and heated by wood stoves. As they had running water all winter they had to set an alarm to get up multiple times throughout the night to ‘stoke ‘ the stoves to prevent the water from freezing. Many times when we visited them in the winter both of our families would sleep on mats in the kitchen where the heat was as the bedrooms and living room was freezing. I have to admit, I don’t miss doing that at all!!

everyones priorities are different, for myself, I would have preferred running water and a bathroom. You have done an amazing job with the place, I am always surprised how much stuff is left behind from previous owners

In the kitchen their called cable reels and ‘mouses’ made me smile way better than mice. The house is very beautiful well done

I have a friend from North Dakota in the US. we both live in Arkansas, the south, while on a visit with her to see her family, there was a sauna which we were invited to use, we gracefully said no thank you, where we're from all you have to do is step outside in July, and you will be in a sauna....

Kale, been following your journey for about 3 years. You've done an amazing job and congrats to you both on the impending arrival of your baby. My young family and I just bought our dream homestead in the Wild West of Ireland. I hope to replicate a fraction if what you've done!
