I've been teaching myself how to do a lot of things on this crazy cabin build, but this was the most intimidating thing of the entire house build...

Love the red doors. In America a red front door holds the historical significance of meaning people are welcome at the homes that host a painted door. Travellers were welcome to rest and have a meal, and during the Civil War in the Underground Railroad, runaway slaves would also see a red door as a sign of a safe house.

@TruckHouseLife 5 месяцев назад

Yup!

@davestevens4263 5 месяцев назад

Awsome! Getting an education, always welcome

@whatyoumakeofit6635 5 месяцев назад

I always heard that the red door signifies the blood of christ. It was a sign the the home is inhabited by Christians.

I fully sympathize. My husband put a new metal roof on last year. I was the OPP of the entire operation. (Official Plastic Peeler) I haven’t been the same since 😂

I enjoy the construction video as mach as the truckhouse footage. The house is really looking good. Carry on my friend.

@TruckHouseLife 5 месяцев назад

Thanks man!

@greensacruzn9645 5 месяцев назад

And NOW, since you used the statement of having both arms full of groceries to kick to OPEN, you need to install kick plates on the INSIDE of doors to kick to CLOSE them.

@MrTonyPiscatelle 5 месяцев назад

When you bring a vertical piece of J channel up to join a horizontal piece of J channel, the pros will leave about a 2" tail on the horizontal piece and bend it down over the vertical piece. The idea is so it can shed water that collects in the top channel down the side of the vertical piece.

@MrTonyPiscatelle 5 месяцев назад

It looks like a really nice place and a lot of room too.

@marelenedulatre6955 5 месяцев назад

@pathfinderdiscovery9395 5 месяцев назад

@nickypan4393 5 месяцев назад

Perfect gift for my birthday! Been a fan for a while (evidence is my full send Alaskan overland hat haha). Really enjoyed the last three videos of your journey to deadhorse, and your billy strings cover in the video before those. Keep it up Tim, loving the content, and happy new year!

@barbarawright5548 5 месяцев назад

Sure would be nice to be young again with all that Timmy energy.

@pathfinderdiscovery9395 5 месяцев назад

Wiss is the best aviators in tha world man , I use them every day at work to cut aluminum sheeting an stain steel sheeting or jacketing coverings to be rolled an installed over pipe insulation we install a lot of an they cut pvc or cilco plastic white red yellow blue an orange as well , love that tool oh my lord yes that plastic protective covering is a pain , I use heat dyers like a hair drier but battery powered , they work ok but hair dryer if u get power to it will do the trick man , I use it on our embossed sheet metal that’s covered in that tuff pressed on plastic , gosh forbid if it’s been hemmed, it sucks , I feel ya man

@joedailey9075 5 месяцев назад

Nice house

@amj8986 5 месяцев назад

Another great video. What is the update on the surviving parakeet? I have parakeets as well and I urge you to get another friend for the surviving bird; maybe you can adopt one. The surviving bird will be depressed and sad. When left alone, parakeets get lonely and depressed and can get runny poops, which can be life-threatening.

@randydarling7725 5 месяцев назад

Loving the vids although I wish you would release them in order. It’s weird watching a blizzard video but the wood stove chimney is installed that was featured weeks later. Then the camper that got crushed is alive and well in this video 😂

@TonyMitch13 5 месяцев назад

Really like how you used the pickup box off of your truck to make a matching trailer. Thought I was the only one who did that 🤙🏻

@wills.7626 5 месяцев назад

It’s the little details that really make a house a home. Those kick plates are great. I’m more of a Stainless guy, but the Copper is really nice looking.

@nolemons 5 месяцев назад

Metal blade on the myter saw cuts that stuff like butter. You can mount the saw on the boom and fly at her. Looks great.

Love the RED DOOR and the awesome kick plate. Adds so much to the decor

@steveo6034 5 месяцев назад

I love how Timmy finds all these obscure small businesses around America. One thing i will be buying eventually is that Kimberly wood stove in the truck house; and i had never heard of Blaze King so now I gotta research it lol

I freaking LOVE THE RED DOOR!!!!!!

@PistolsPlayground 5 месяцев назад

I found your channel this week, as a guy who used to drive long haul, and built his own cabin in the middle of the woods. I enjoy seeing other people that also adventure and build things. You look to be about the same age as me, and capable men are rare and getting more rare. Good work my man, I like watching your videos.

@bigmothertrucker4514 5 месяцев назад

Good job on cabin man. When you j trim the windows you shoulda cut them 3 inches longer and then cut the face of the k trim back to length so the in the corners the back part of the j trim over laps. It’s more work but a little better protection so the water can’t get through. I like your corner ideas tho good job

@sherried79 5 месяцев назад

Aw, I would pull all the plastic off for you if I was there. I miss helping my dad with such things. It's looking great, Timmy! Okay, I am sure it wasn't fun cleaning it up but I did have a giggle at the siding slide. Just a little giggle though. Hehe happy trails!

@HughMadBro 5 месяцев назад

You're doing wonderful & awesome info about the metal cutters (I had no idea) & I love that you show the tape measure falling & doing the metal stuff as 1 man. Showing you working through the show like some "homesteaders would never".. I won't name drop but it feels great following this project that you will finish!!!

@michaelburroughs7494 5 месяцев назад

It is fascinating watching you build this place. Wish videos like this had been available back in the 70s. I would have just bought land and built my own home much like you are doing using all the construction knowledge I've gained.

It’s a shame my old YT account got deleted once I hit my 1000 subs after 16 years had the account since I was 11 in 2007 lol now I’m stuck using my back up and all my memories as a kid an teen are gone I uploaded tons of videos an channels like your inspired me to start uploading again an I was one of the channels banned for no reason an no possible appeal allowed back when they were silencing everyone

@cathymc8365 5 месяцев назад

The copper corners and kick plates really set off the whole entire build. It is going to be a work of art not just a house!

@lah-tee5412 5 месяцев назад

lol I didn’t even know they made special ones like that but yeah they’re beautiful and this house is absolutely gorgeous! His attention to detail is just incredible for sure.

@Mr.Karlss0n 5 месяцев назад

I'm impressed, you are the first american i have seen that is actually using the correct shears instead of tin snips :D

@leeS04 5 месяцев назад

You should put a sealer on the kick plate screw holes to keep water out.

@travismartin1126 5 месяцев назад

Since you’re already using a air compressor, try pulling one side and putting a nozzle on it and giving it some air underneath it. Maybe it will give you a nice pop down the corner bead.

@kickpl8 5 месяцев назад

Thanks for the shout out Timmy! We love watching the progress and are super proud to be a part of it! Keep up the good work, much love!

@sea-ferring 5 месяцев назад

That is a really beautiful design and the attention to detail is the reason why you do this stuff yourself. I am super impressed!

@sea-ferring 5 месяцев назад

...and who could imagine that metal siding could look cool! The balance between the metal and the wood is so amazing.

@Doc1855 5 месяцев назад

Well when you’re done with your house, we’ve got a house here in the lower 48 in north central Washington state, up in the mountains

@myhificloud 5 месяцев назад

If you have not already mapped your in-wall electrical conductors (wiring), you may want to chalk line prior to applying screws to panels. In one of my builds, we had a screw penetrate/compromise a positive electrical conductor. As a result the screw became an in-wall heating element, shorting the panel to the positive conductor, causing an in-wall fire. Just a suggestion, in the event your screws are long enough to penetrate the in-wall electrical conductors space. It's good to know where those wires are run, chalk lines to implement sound disaster avoidance planning. Love the build so far, very nice work!

@travislee9396 5 месяцев назад

Finally got to the end. Good deal on scoring some hired help. It’s awesome to watch you build. And even when you struggle. It shows us that you are authentic man. You are the coolest dude I’ve ever watched. Bro. Seriously though. Don’t be afraid to ask for help. It’s better to get help than to injure yourself. And from what I’ve gathered you’re already recovered from physical injuries. Sorry. Don’t mean to preach. Good work man!

@susanadams-wauro6716 5 месяцев назад

Another great video, Timmy! Love that you explained the metal cutters, the j- channels., how things fit,.....you are a teacher...and not just at driving school! The house looks fab...those copper accents rock! Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

When you look at the front clip of your tape measure you'll see a slot this is for hooking a 8d nail head, if your alone and need a second hand use a 8d nail at one end and hook and extend to measure. And your never alone were allways watching. Hello from palmer ak
