In Part 31 of Slim's Cabin Fixer Upper, I try adding a roof to the new addition without any help. Wildlife close at hand and a scorching heat wave, finishing it before the rains came was getting unBEARABLE until a special visitor arrived!

Slim, you never cease to amaze me. I have never seen a more determined, intelligent, hard-working man than you. My eyes were glued to the screen as I watched this video. I have to say, I was on the edge of my seat watching you struggle. You always come up with some ingenious way to get the job done. What an incredible man you are. Much respect. Absolutely phenomenal video. Please stay safe! I love your little cabin and everything you've done to it.

I put anti strike stickers on my windows. Living in the forest I had birds flying into my windows on a weekly basis. Broke my heart. That was over 2 years ago, and I haven't had one bird fly into my windows since. Thank goodness. 🐦

@eddymahon1503 17 дней назад

The only thing wrong about this video is it ended. Loved it!!!

@binder098 20 дней назад

The firefly segment was unlike anything I have seen before. Also it must be real nice to have a yard covered in deer salad. Nothing wins their hearts quicker than a bowl of fresh greens. The addition looks well thought out and stout, not at all like those scenes in "The Unforgiven" where the sheriff is building his own house. You've really nailed this one!

@dianecooper7502 20 дней назад

I’m amazed how you manage to do all this work by yourself. It looks like you’re going to have a comfy cozy bedroom when you are done. With a great view too. ❤️

@maddog1082 20 дней назад

I've been around for 65 years and I'm still fascinated by fireflies. I love those time-lapse photos that you shared with us. Beautiful!

@davidsradioroom9678 19 дней назад

I love fireflies, too. I only saw two this year. Hope they come back.

@stellarproductions8888 19 дней назад

I love the fireflies too, I thought they were only located in the south of USA though, sure surprised me seeing them up in northern territories like Canada. Flish flash, well how about that, natures Christmas lights a glow, take a picture.

@questioner1596 19 дней назад

I've seen them in the Ottawa/Gatineau area as well as northern Manitoba.

@faithrada 18 дней назад

Ohhh Slim.. I was TRYING to reach through the screen and help hold those boards for you. 😂 Well... the thought was there at least. 😊 Great Job.

@ve2vfd 20 дней назад

Reason for NB code requiring nailed in gusset plates is that the pressed in ones have a VERY low fire resistance and pop out within minutes when heated causing early collapse.

@SlimPotatohead 20 дней назад

Interesting. Thanks!

@troygunter2848 20 дней назад

As someone who has worked alone often. I admire your tenacity. Never quiting but instead figuring out a way to move forward. You can always get more improvements done , when you can save money on your projects. Thanks Slim , always enjoy. Oh, yea in Milton today...on the Blackwater. Avoiding all armadillos.

Slim, the cabin is really looking great. Thank you for bringing us along on your cabin remodel journey. Your excitement and enthusiasm is infectious. Your hardwork and dedication towards this project is admirable. I hope that you continue to share your journeys, both big and small, with us for years to come.

You need some anti collision window decals for the birds. :) PS; absolutely amazing what you accomplish on your own.

@judyabernathy80 19 дней назад

Clever, clever, clever! You are the epitome of figuring out how to do the impossible by yourself. Your cabin looks great, Slim!! You have done a marvelous job!! Can’t wait to see more!!! ❤❤❤

@jamesmoyes3006 20 дней назад

Thanks for posting today Slim you always make me smile. I had to put my best friend down yesterday. It’s tough losing a pet and she was so beautiful.

@SlimPotatohead 20 дней назад

Sorry to hear. I hope you enjoy those beautiful memories!

@jranney1 20 дней назад

Our fur babies create such a hole in our heartstrings when they have to leave us…. So sorry for your loss.

@marilynrenaud1892 20 дней назад

I am so very sorry for your heartbreaking loss. My sweet little bird who was also my very best friend passed away unexpectedly last year, 2023, and completely shattered my heart. I am still mourning for her. I had her for 21 years, since she was 6 months old. She was highly intelligent and communicated verbally. I know how much it hurts to lose a pet that you love with all your heart. You have my deepest condolences. 😢

@ramonapuckett3059 17 дней назад

Wow! That bear just casually walking around! Scary! Your cabin is really looking great, Slim. You’re doing a great job ❤

@susanbernard343 20 дней назад

Your addition is really looking great, what a smart idea using rope to hoist the last piece of roof panel up. Cheers from P.E.I 😊

Slim, if you wait long enough, the fireflies lights will synchronize, flashing all at the same time. 😂

@lizcaporicci8483 19 дней назад

I am glad that you use safety measures, Slim. It pays to be smart. The addition is really taking shape. Loved this episode.

You're the most soft-spoken, hardcore guy I have ever seen. I enjoy every minute of it. Thanks.

@susanstrickland6774 18 дней назад

Excellent videography, building, narration, wildlife and humor. Really enjoyed the build, going to add so much to the cabin. Hopefully the bird was ok. 🙂👍

@lacylobdell7455 19 дней назад

I wanted to REACH THROUGH the camera and help you!! The trusses looked like fun - the outer walls, well I’d have been cussin up a storm🤬. But the fireflies, what a treat! And thanks for tending to that precious little bird💞.

@peterbernier9624 19 дней назад

Boy oh boy Slim, I wish I had been able pitch in to help on the roof. I've done a few jobs like that over the years and have most of the tools necessary to make it easier. Throw them in my RAM and I'll be there. I'm in northern NB and at 73 I can still swing a hammer and climb ladders. Great video😊

@DesertDog8989 19 дней назад

Slim slinging insanely heavy and difficult plywood around like it's nothing! Go Slim!!

Slim, as a fellow Cabin in the Woods builder, you're an inspiration when I'm getting tired of the project.

@kjkayjay 19 дней назад

Very impressive, Slim. And I loved the fireflies, deer, bear and birds!

@tiasimmons1665 19 дней назад

The way you got the last board up on the roof was so clever!

@meinschatzi8978 20 дней назад

That was so cool! Love to photos and video staring the fireflies! My neighbor retired, and to make extra money, he started cutting down palm trees, pulling up stumps and trimming trees. He’s been doing it for about a year and a half two years. He went to do a tree and for whatever reason and I think it would be the first time ever, he chose to only use one harness around his waist. He cut the harness. He fell, airlifted to emergency hospital, never came off of ventilator. He was disconnected about a month ago. And he’s gone. He’s greatly missed. You can be as careful as you can, but you can’t control everything, And your personal safety is never worth the risk.

@meinschatzi8978 20 дней назад

We have had 110-115 temp for the last 2 weeks and it will last till next Saturday at least.

@janingham1823 20 дней назад

@stevebailey7633 17 дней назад

Heads up to you Slim for doing this all alone. I long ago stopped trying to move 4x8 sheets of anything thicker than Luan.

@stevengreco1939 19 дней назад

Amazing all by yourself! Slim is amazing worker.

@lory2622 17 дней назад

Just judging by the wind storm out there I think those patch plates are good insurance. Thanks for all this effort slim.

@lilawickware8272 19 дней назад

@normamccafferty3053 19 дней назад

Those firefly trails!!! ❤ And your visitor at the end! Thanks for the video!

@raktoda707 18 дней назад

Boy you sure are a clever fella ' ! Where there's a will there's a way.Carefully and professionally. Even the bear was impressed.This cabin is a work of art, an unfolding flower of your life, challenges, and ,..all things Canadian.Looks great Slim I think the attention to detail,thinking of the worst case scenarios and gosh the darn luck has turned you into a fine builder . Many happy, safe sleeps here.Peace

@barbgilbart7945 19 дней назад

You continue to amaze me, in what you are able to do "by yourself"! Love that you take time to enjoy the wildlife around you and that you share it with your viewers! Thanks Slim!

@loriegreene9375 18 дней назад

When I was a little girl living in Georgia, I loved when the firefly’s came out in the evening. I would put a few in a mason jar to enjoy them prior to letting them fly away into the night. I have never seen any here in South Florida. Could you believe that the bear walked right by the cabin? 🐻 What a great build!

@carolecarr1064 19 дней назад

Phew! Good job, Slim. Thank you for the firefly show and the bear.

@skytechbits 13 дней назад

Slims hammer work would make a woodpecker jealous.

@janelbrady5342 19 дней назад

Wow, good job getting all that up there so quickly. I was always fascinated by the fireflies when I was a kid. We also called them lightning bugs.

Your a 1 man army Slim. Very impressive !!!

@Glyn69 19 дней назад

Hello Slim , thanks for the great upload. It was very interesting watching you build your extension. The fireflies brought back memories of visiting my sister in Ohio in 1980 when she lived there , had never seen anything like them having flown over from Liverpool England. The area looks amazing with all the wildlife. I look forward to your next video , well done so far, and it looks sturdy.

@ruthanderson1758 19 дней назад

Lots of progress. Amazing what one person can do when they set their mind to it.

@JoyfulHope115 18 дней назад

I love the tone and tempo of this video!!! 😂 👏

@stellarproductions8888 19 дней назад

Your cabin remodel video''s have been my absolute favorite on your channel. Having said that, I also enjoy your traveling video's too. I'm hoping that one day this cabin will become a permanent home for you. I know in the last video you talked about certain things that have to happen, in order for this to become a permanent living space for you. That Black Bear was looking for Poo's stash of honey. I can tell he's a teen bear, because no adult bear is going to risk getting themselves shot within an human encampment.

@katastrophe253 20 дней назад

Slim you are doing a great job. Interesting to see how you figure out building techniques for a solitary builder. Your bear was interesting to see. Apparently it is a very 'bear' season all across Canada. We have lived in our house here MB, for 12 years, never saw a bear. This year there has already been 2 who have decided to take up residence in our yard. 🐻

@rhondalyn100 18 дней назад

"A little tricky" never stops you, Slim! Great job and fun to watch. 🙂

@JoHarmon-hg7wz 20 дней назад

Your doing an amazing job getting this job done on your own. Takes a great mind to figure out how to make this all work out.

@chucksgmgarage1116 15 дней назад

@leedanielson7452 19 дней назад

I am not a professional, carpenter by any stretch of the imagination, but I have built a few things.... That being said Slim I think you have done a wonderful job on this cabin!!!👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

@marybrockman2043 19 дней назад

Slim, your video was so very good! You are a Jack of All Trades! You deserve a well done! On the roof! Can’t say enough about all the nature you caught! 😊 You are so fortunate to have that cabin! It is a treasure! 😊 Peace!

@alanjackson4646 20 дней назад

Amazing work rate, I was exhausted at 11:43. Difficult and dangerous on your own. Loved the use of the chrome wheel as a workbench. That bear was a lovely looking animal, from a distance. Great entertainment, thank you. Regards AJ.

@suzanneta8 19 дней назад

I always used to catch the lightning bugs as we called them as a kid. I got sore just watching you with all the hard work you're doing by yourself. It's coming along great, Slim! Be safe as always. 😊

@krisg3984 9 дней назад

I like seeing your skills put to use and making progress. The Thinking Chair , nice ! The wildlife seem to be curious even with all the commotion. Or maybe because of it. Glad the bear didnt go inside the front door behind you , hew ! 😅

@cynthiakleist9513 19 дней назад
