EP23: Full Scribe Walls & Redesigning The Cabin on The Fly 

Wonderful to see the little “bear cub” she made me smile. 😂 The cabin is looking great. The idea to close the wall made sense. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to seeing the next episode. Stay safe!

"I can see the tree top reflection in her eyes." What a wonderful life! 🌲

What a cute & sweet looking child !!!

Enjoyed the show. I agree with taking out the window, that is a win win decision.

Your dream came true.I wish you wonderful and happy days together with your family. Great job.

Beautiful! You are sooo smart to number your videos rather than having to search them out by dates. No one does that. Thank you!

Jealous of the elk burger!!! Your daughter is a beautiful addition to your cabin. Thanks again for bringing us along on your build journey.

Turn the stair 90deg and have the top facing the side wall, walk up it from the main room parallel to the window. That way you are not cramped at the base and if you tumble then no chance to fall onto the window. Just a thought? That said, never let the symmetry police dictate the layout. Your burger build is unmatched!

Very smart man..love watching you trimed the logs..from the Philippines🇨🇿

Beautiful work…. Greetings from down under Australia 🇦🇺.stay safe

13:39 Log-slide, haha And what a marvelous burger! You provide your family well!

What a great VIDEO thank you ROSA OLBERA FROM Texas

Thanks for sharing. Your workmanship and dedication is so inspiring. We love the way your cabin looks. God bless.

It's a beautiful thing to see the logs fitting so well . Loved seeing your little munchkin and beautiful wife. Has to be a great feeling to accomplish such a dream !

Option for the ladder! You can try to built the ladder on a "L" format Both sides edging the wall, the front wall (where was supposed to have a window) and the left wall This way you can built more "gentle" steps.

IT, s getting COOLer Day by day. Congrats

Your skills are exceptional, the tolerances and tightness of the wall could only be achieved by the hands of a master artist. Not to mention your lovely family! Thank you for sharing this great video Jim

So good to see you again! What a beautiful family!

Good job 👍

Wonderful family. God bless you all.

It's going to be a beautiful log home..You doing it all by yourself may take a bit of time but it will be your way..Your woodworking talent is unbelievable..God bless..Be safe..🇺🇸🌹❤️

Great watching your cabin construction. Keep up the good work

Awesome 😻😻😻🥳🥳🥳🤗🤗🤗

Always love the problem solving parts ! Great video once again!

Excelente trabalho. Parabéns 🇧🇷

You are doing such an amazing job. Looking awesome.

Put in a hinged staircase with hinges in front of the windowm so when it is up clear veiw from the window

Perfect cabin

One of my favorite cabin builds to watch!

I love you guys❣️ Truly living the dream . Exactly what I yearn for. Watched ALL your posts from the beginning, and love your life story- truly inspiring. Stay safe.

Brilliant work and you have a lovely family . Will this be a home or just a cabin to visit? You look like an artist or and architect or both? I like the idea your wife had about the roof top having a wall there. 👌 she is smart lol. She is a woman of my own heart. The logs look amazing. Can't wait to see the next video and the Ridge beam going up. Sending much love to you all from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤ ♥ 💕

Very good 👌👌👌

Another great video Trustin, thanks for sharing :) your videos let me slow down and just focus on an exciting creative process

What a cute litte girl. I have 3 grown men , One gave me twin grand Little girls there all most 2

spiral staircase around a center log post with handrail, we had one in our camp and it was gorgeous

Looking awesome! I really like it. One thing though, if you start your chainsaw from cold, don't rev it up for at least 1 minute. Piston expands quicker than cylinder walls. Same after using. Let it idle and cool down for at least 30seconds.

Good call, those stairs would have been way too steep an angle, very dangerous with a window in the path. You also imagined sitting on the stairs looking out the window but with such an angle you would have no step to sit on. Keep up the good work Trustin, and please make you stairs as safe as possible. Once past 37 degrees your step gets narrower as you go up in degree angle. Going up is no problem but coming down starts becoming an issue between stairs, which you can walk forward down,or a ladder which you must climb down. Thank you for sharing your story, I look have enjoyed watching you build from the start, and look forward to hopefully many more videos! 🙂

Dios bendiga El bebe

Glad you decided to not have a window next to the stairs.

You should challenge your skills and make a spiral staircase. It would look awesome!

Я первый👍

Spiral staircases just a thought

👍👍❤️

My window was at my stairs off to the side

Looking good , Can't wait to see it done , How many Sq feet is it going to be ?

Trustin, given the space left for your stairs, yes it is a good idea to close in the window area, but this is also an opportunity to rethink the stairs and what you have mentioned several times as the storage area related to them. On the video, the space for the stairs looks to be around 4 or 5 foot square, but with the potential to make this wider to say 6 foot at the first floor level against the wall by the blocked in window, and this could allow for a turnstile stairway with risers morticed into and around a central post, or perhaps a small landing at around the old windowsill height in this corner, with two steep angled flights of stairs rising to it and from it, perhaps with the lower one against the side wall and the upper at right angles against the front wall. The upper could be a slightly longer or steeper flight than the lower, or vice versa if the cabin door gets in the way of the upper flight.. You might lose a bit of the upper floor near the front wall by this arrangement, but a short bannister post or even the support for the upper flight of stairs could meet the small unsupported edge of the first floor boards, and the underside of the lower stairs at the cabin floor level and the landing could make a great storage area, with cupboard or open plan shelf finish. Also, in an old and small Bavarian country house I have seen a great steep climbing stairs made with alternate hand/foot holds, set into what at first seemed to be a cupboard, and I've also seen one with a single log support against a lounge wall with angles cut into it to hold the risers, and this could be utilised to suit two flights if you wanted to do so. Either way, I am sure you will make a great job of it in the end, and from here, I can only note that life is like your cabin, where nothing really goes quite to plan and you always have to allow for disappointments, for many new ideas, and often for an opportunity for great and previously unexplored work-arounds to be wondered about and realised. Wonderful family shots, and for me, you turned the camera off at the most interesting part because I was looking forward to seeing how you and Catlin were going to attack and overcome those giant sized burgers.

Recently watched a guy who used an upside down tree stump as the base for the staircase landing. He built a strong box that was screwed into the stump which then held a strong piece of glass(?) or plexiglass(?) he had made that sat in the box. If you are interested the youtube channel is ru-vid.com/show-UCMjAl_0yeKwUAQ2A3tQFcnA. He is also building a cabin. Now that I've made this suggestion you have changed your mind so maybe my suggestion is no longer valid. The guy, like you, is terrific with wood you might enjoy it anyway...ok, have a great week.

Mini spiral staircase i know lots of work. Just a thought🤔✌

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😊❤

Is any insulation going between the logs?

Do you mill your own timbers ?

excelente trabajo ponte algo en la nariz por eso Que vota la Madera se teva a los pulmones Dios. te cuide❤❤❤

Why are you making the cabin so small?

There is nothing between logs, are you going to do chinking ?

Happy Wife happy Baby massive elk burger deluxe how could it get any better

0you will be adding on right. so you donot need a window there....

Eh. Windows in front of stairs are fine.

No wonder why it takes you so long to do something.... it ain't no piano! It don't need to be 100٪ perfect. You're giving us Canadians a bad name... stop it!
