Installing a Wood Stove in my OFF GRID Shepherd Hut Cabin | Episode 2 

100% already bought it ready 😊

No no you are absolutely right, I have since gone back and fixed the structure. That will teach me to rush a job for a video!

I was looking for that pencil for 30 minutes 😂

Good point 😂 Had to release it so you could see the things I’m working on now! More recent videos are going

Yes, crazy puppy 😂

Thank you for calling me kindly--made my day. Although I'm not a builder, I am a quilter so I believe that various sorts of construction mirror one another. I''d never chop a big hole across the middle of a quilt seam and then ignore it--to me, that's kinda what he has done, and it's the sort of thing that makes stuff fail under stress. Love Arizona, by the way--for a short time, I lived in Cochise County and I still remember the beauty of the desert.

@@zzydny I am so glad to have made your day! I am a crafter. Crochet, sewing, weaving, various things as inspiration comes. I was thinking much the same thing - supporting the beam with a square or something like it, for the same reason you made about cutting a hole in a seam. The structure needs to be stable and strong. My daughter and I are raising chickens. We built a coop out of a greenhouse, an old headboard, some cull lumber, a collection of hardware… so far, the girls love it. We’ve repurposed a lot of things to make our garden spaces, too. We aren’t builders, either. We make things work. I think that’s part of the reason I love watching Jacob build. Good Lady zzydny, I wish you good health and many blessings.

@@zzydny oh! And we’re in Yavapai county. I have traveled through Mississippi. I lived in Alabama for several years. It’s a beautiful place.

I agree

What a lovely load of replies! I agree with all of you that’s why I have since fixed my mistake and added to the structure in the roof, the weight is now redirected to other beams either side of that one. I was on a mission to finish it all for the video 😂 That will teach me to rush a job just for the video! I would love to visit Arizona one day, it sounds like a beautiful set up you have been making for your family 😊 (and chickens!)

Thanks as always Chris 🔥

I’ll make sure to film the cabin more in future videos :)

I’m not sure yet about Wi-Fi! I could instal it but it might be nice to have the site as a “get back to nature” sort of thing, what do you reckon?

Yes I have since re-made it so it’s structurally sound! Heavy lifting was not allowed that’s true but this video was filmed in the past, I’m just getting back to more heavy lifting now :)

Haha I know it’s from the past but I had to release it sometime! Thanks for watching 😊

You know me so well 😂

Correct and I made sure to build to regulations! I’m also having a proper installer come round to check everything before they are rented out, better safe than sorry! 😊

I’m planning on building this summer and winter, and renting them out for next summer season :)

I’m still sweating 😅
