I uncovered MAJOR STRUCTURAL PROBLEMS at The Abandoned Cabin 

"... don't ever take on a project like this". My sentiments exactly, I'm halfway through my 'old cabin in the woods' it's been 14 yrs.😂😂😂

Yes please tell us you’re going to rebuild the wrap around. Porch it did give a lot of character

I love it that when you say that you have no idea what you are doing; you go ahead and have a whack at it anyway.

YT dropped you in my suggestions. Great fun binge watching so far. I look forward to more. This had been favorite fixer-upper series. I think that cabin waited 100 years just for you to come along.

I cannot believe how precisely and delicately you removed that awning

Surprised and pleased at how delicate and repercussion-free that porch canopy removal was.

I think everything you are doing is awesome. Personally, I would redo all of the shingles. Most of the cost is with labor so doing it yourself would be tedious but so many of your shingles are rotting. Keep it up.

I recommend watching some "Maine Cabin Masters" who do stuff like this all the time, including leveling and replacing rotten beams and foundations on cabins.

It's rare where I live, to see grown men work on projects. Anyway, it's good to see some skills survive with simple respect for fafo attitude, and sheer willingness to learn from experience. Ty, loving it.

Woke up, eating breakfast, notification a video drop. Yep going to be a good day.

Seeing a new video of yours always makes the dopamine sit up and pay attention. This cabin has been really interesting string of videos.

I love these updates. Ty for your work and content!

That corner was something else, there was nothing there. I keep being amazed that the building hadn't fallen down yet. This is my favorite kind of DIY video, restoration. You never know what you will find in these old places.

I'm still getting the idea that it would have been easier to tear the old cabin down and build a new one. Still it's fun watching you breath life into the place.

I'VE ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF THESE VIDS

That leaf blower cleanup was very satisfying.

The whole house moving at 15:00 was kinda creepy dude!

Never hurts to maintain a good piece of equipment brother! Those generators definitely come in handy when you need them!

Looking good, congratulations on the passed inspections, and yes, being clean makes a big difference, make it easy on the inspectors, makes it easier on us.

Super quiet inverter! VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR Lol amazing

The inside corner you screwed in and said that'll provide support..nope not with deck screws. You need proper framing nails added or structural screws..otherwise it's a non structural support if done with non structural fasteners.

Great video! Love that grabber attachment!

That corner band-aid is gonna support a lot of weight, I'd marry the floor joists together at least 4 feet in every direction into solid existing joists and set it down on columns.

I watch this to see your dog. He's the best!

It’s great that you have things organized.. it definitely makes the process run a whole lot smoother. 👍🏼

I’m in the middle of remodelling and fixing an old cabin that hadn’t been lived in for about 15 years. I feel your pain.

Enjoying watching your cabin come together piece by piece. End result is going to be great.

Brilliant work, very enjoyable content to watch and channel to follow 👏👏

Amazing. Thank you for sharing.

Good job saving the cabin. I enjoy the show. Thanks from. Sc

This is hard work, and coupled with your very good filmmaking a genuine joy to watch.

Love what you’re doing it looks great

Max loves his daddy and keeps him in line!🤣😂🤣 Love Max, he’s an absolute amazing buddy to have! He’s so good while yall are working and stays out of the way mostly! ❤️❤️❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💯💯💯

Maxie to the rescue!!! Always helping Dad!!!

Bro uploaded this at 3am , perfect timing for my all nighter 💪🏻🎉🎆

Keep up the good work man! Just wish I could watch these videos all day!!

That attachment on the front of that Skider is a beast! Great clean-up job! You got this!!

Everything is looking fantastic. Great

GOOD JOB FIXING!

Love your videos, one suggestion. Take some of that used motor oil and paint it on the wood of your cabin where the concrete will be touching it. It will soak into the wood and make it less likely to rot out from touching the concrete.

Bonfire time!!

My only suggestion for the corner rebuild is to run some bolts all the way through those blocks. That way, it makes it more of a single block that helps to carry and distribute the load. Right now, it's relying on the adhesive and screws and there are too many individual fail points. The bolts will help tie it all together to the original timber. I don't recommend a lot of products, but I highly recommend Gorilla Glue Heavy Duty Construction Adhesive 0 second set. I used it for building sets, and it's no joke. Once it sets, it's incredibly hard to break the contact. I've seen it delaminate luan, 3/4" cabinet grade plywood, pull chunks out of #1 and #2 pine in the process of trying to break apart a section to rebuild it. If you ever use it, make sure the surface is clean. I applied it to a painted surface once. Its hold was still strong, but only as strong as the paints hold on the surface. I had to repaint a small section because it pulled the paint right of the wall. We built some pieces out of #1 pine and 3/4" cabinet grade plywood and put them through a hydraulic press to test their fail points. Depending on the joint with the adhesive, they survived an average of 4 metric tons of pressure before catastrophic failure. But we're talking about direct pressure 3/4" × 3/4" joint. The results were absolutely wild. I'm enjoying this series, and I can't wait to see the cabin when it's done.

Congrats on 100k

Love when I get notified about your videos!

Nicer indeed ! Step by step you are the man ! Liked those bikes !! 😂

Keep up the awesome work and vids

Your projects are better than a movie ! Outstanding man ! 😂

Dude great job with the skid loader ! 😂

I love that grapple on the skid steer, awesome investment brother! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 How many acres is there? It’s a beautiful piece of property! I love the secluded view back down the driveway! Plenty privacy and peace!

Your woods are SO clean!

Love your videos! I learn a lot from your different projects.

Some of these people question your ability but from what I’ve seen, you guys know what you’re doing friend! Repairing this takes a good ideal man who has a good imagination and adequate skill! Seems like you qualify for both! Keep up the good work brother! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙋🏼✌🏻💯💯

The place looks so tidy and nice!

I really love the cabin videos😊

Great video sir, I loved the (I'm guessing) drone shots of you tidying up the pile of wood

Nicely done with the drone shots! Flying the camera drone & driving the Case at the same time, impressive! I build & fly drones manualy in first person view aka fpv but doing that & driving, nope. Loved this!! 🤙

After its all said and done, install new awnings for your windows, the cooling benefits are worth it

Impressive drone footage 👍🏻

Roll with the tide ! 😂

I love the fact you just have ago, you always seem to get to where you wanted to be…lovin it 👍

i would love a video on your silverado year how u got it and working on it

Learned plumbing and electrical work by experience, and watching a few videos here on You Tube, I'm not paying some dude to work on something I'm perfectly capable of, unless my car is on a flatbed and I have to let them replace wheel studs that broke off, after the shop that put the wheel and new tire on over torqued the lug nuts. Not sure I'd have taken care of that corner that way, but laminating 2X6 boards that way looks sturdy. I'd have burned that pile of dead wood right where it was, because I'm lazy, and it wasn't that close to the cabin. But, you may have done the right thing, I don't know the laws about burning waste wood. Looks like you've got this well under control, I've made enough mistakes to learn a few things, and although I might have done things a bit differently, I like your style 🙂

I somehow developed the habit of always watching your videos while drawing, it may sound weird or literally no one cares but your videos are really interesting and inspire me in a way, I can't really explain but I'm really glad I found this channel!

That grapple attachment works great on smoothing up the property my friend! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Concrete is definitely going to support it like the other side! 👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Helps to keep the moisture out of the wood, hopefully! I figured you would be using treated lumber for the repairs! 🤷🏼👌🏻👍🏻👍🏻

You really should invite the local wood working community to come and get "distressed lumber. They would gladly haul it away.

Imagine finally getting done and spending your first night in the house to have stuff start flying off the shelves.

By the way, thanks for sharing this video brother and Kirk from Louisiana sends prayers and positive vibes to you, Max and your family my friend! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🙋🏼✌🏻✌🏻 GREAT JOB GUYS!💯💯💯💯💯🙋🏼

Nice dog to ! 😂

I do love parquet sills

I really dig your multitasking level by operating the skid steer and flying the drone at the same time ! I drove a skid steer for around 6 years at a previous job i had and it had the clamps like you did. Are you going to leave the cedar shingles on the cabin and power wash it ; that'd be really satisfying to watch ? I absolutely enjoy watching the progress on the cabin, keep up the good work !

Talking about that electric saw, I am amazed at all the things ya'll have done with it fixing the cabin. Or change the title to "building a Cabin".😮

First my guy drives a brush hog and a drone at the same time, now your driving a skid steer and a drone through the woods! Skillz

I really gotta get a grapple for my skid steer, and those case skid steers that u got are really tough and reliable

I love how dainty it looked taking it off. Very soft to the touch lol

yeeeeeet i here and so is alll the people that love you and what you do ........ ;)

Hello 99 projects You are doing a phenomenal job on your cabin! Awesome carpentry skills!

Thanks!

It’s always a good day when my ol buddy posts a vid!!

Such a beautiful spot now that the trees have leaves on them.

I'm curious if you've researched the history of the cabin and it's previous owners. That would be interesting reading!

Looks GREAT👍🇺🇲❤️😁

Love it from UK

I am just over 9 minutes in, you said you have no idea what your doing. I just wanted to say that is the reason I like your videos so much, learn as you go that's my philosophy.

big fan. of channel! could you do a tour or overview of the whole property?

Max! : )

😊Good morning Guys and 🥰Buddy Max 🥓🥰 Happy 4th of July weekend🦋💞

Musste an ein kleines Liedchen denken: Auf die Bäume, ihr Affen, der Wald wird gefegt und nicht lange überlegt ! Wurde manchmal in fröhlicher Runde gesungen. Das Bild mit dem leeren, geöffneten Fangkorb sah wirklich ein bisschen zum Fürchten aus

Great drone footage following you through the woods. What kind of drone do you have?

Did you have Milwaukee socks and underwear too ? LOL 🤣🤣

I applaud your tenacity and your will but i would had completely demolished it any started new. Good continuation!

I would have recommended pressure treated lumber to rebuild that corner, especially since it’s so close to ground level at that point………might only be a temporary fix if you use regular lumber

I totally say "a big quarter" when I'm taking measurements!

Huh. I'd've thought you'd've settled things with the whole foundation before investing so much work and materials on the rest of the house. =0[.]o=

After all those videos I still can't say if this cabin is just huge or what. It would be family house size here in France. I'm sure that somedays the frustration must be high but hang in there, it's going to be fab when it's done.💙

That second story window bump out looks sketchy too.

I love your cabin videos but i have 1 Question? Are you keeping the original side shingles on the outside of the house or are you redoing the exterior walls and putting new side panels.

Hope the electrical inspection goes as well as the plumbing did.

In rebuilding the corner sills, did the need of using pressure treated lumber fly right on by? Plumbing looks great, though!

Could you add some kind of total amount of money/budget for different kind of works, or whole cabin in total? E.g - the whole plumbing cost - $$$? As I am watching this video from the eastern Europe - it would be pretty interesting to compare. But in overall keep going, really interesting videos!
