Off Grid Cabin Additions (Bedroom) | Ep. 3 | Building 2x8 Logs, Dinner with My Wife 

Showing a baby goat balancing on it's mother back and then cutting to a sheep getting a feed bucket stuck on it's head is a pretty good summary on sheep and goats.

Nice to have the husband & wife time alone in the cabin, bonus is you cooked the dinner! Bless you 🙏

Really appreciate the reference to Bible wisdom, and I also value the practical skills & ingenuity you demonstrate here. Cheers & Psalm 118:25 blessings on your projects & plans.

Howdy, I'm Off grid In Kentucky. The past storm took down over 7 trees on the property. Uprooted them. A lot of problems happen from that storm. We are all Working together to get the trees cut up cleaned up and firewood Stacked. It only takes one storm to Rec-havic

Living the dream 🙂👍

Ah, peace and quite, good for the spirit, soul and body.

When you working hard there's nothing better to take a break and drinkin' a good hot coffee beside the woodstove!!

That is what I call a solid build. Mother Nature's whirling skirts won't affect your home. Enjoy!

For the wall "logs," it would be efficient to take stock of how many of each variation is needed. Then, in a flat area, lay out all the boards and put them together as such. It might be more exact, and there'd be less picking up and putting down of various tools. That way, when it comes to building, it'd just be playing with legos.

Nice to see a new video glad to hear all is well and changes sometimes are a good thing. Life goes by so fast and we don't even realize it until one day we wake up and say to self: "it's time to change priorities", Even small changes can make a huge difference and we can get grounded again and even change our way of thinking. We only go through this life once and by golly do what you love and others around us as well. God has blessed you with a wonderful life, family and even special Gifts of building your cabin. Thank you for this video and the cabin is beautiful.

Yakisugi! One of the best ways to preserve wood. The Japanese have been doing it for centuries. That cabin looks bomb proof. That's gonna last several generations.

I like the 2”x2” where the new wall meets the old.

My favorite videos on RU-vid. Love seeing the progress, keep it up.

I too raise goats, chickens, and horses. Yes, the goats can be a handful, but they really help with my blood pressure. Great work. If you are ever interested in selling holler. LOL!

Nagyon ügyes vagy! Gratulálok!👍

I really love what you’re doing, brother.

Looking good thanks for bringing us along for the build have a great day.

Wow; you have your hands full. Good to see you back at your cabin. God bless.

I knit and crochet as well and I cannot think of a nicer place to crochet something up then right in front of a roaring fire. I am sure the both of you are looking forward to the new addition. I'm looking forward to watching you build it.

Spring has finally arrived. I hope you are well and we are looking forward to your videos. Funny how life seems to get in the way. Sometimes less is more and I am at that age as well.

Top, es sieht top aus, liebe Grüsse und danke fürs Video ❤🥰🥰🥰🍀

I'm not a doctor, but I want to see you eat more leafy greens. 😀 We've been enjoying your cabin build and you've inspired us. Keep up the good work, brother.

Prześliczny domek👍 Przesyłam pozdrowienia z Polski 💙

Looks great, enjoy watching you build your future. Such a peaceful setting . Stay safe and have fun. Fred.

Thats a dinner brother, i miss the sound of cooking in cast iron, reminds me of my grandma and grandpas house. I like your take on the goats and sheep, you doin it the right way in life. May the creator always shine light on your home.

So glad you got to spend some time at the cabin.......sometimes life does get in the way of living!

Coming along nicely. You are blessed to have your cabin in the woods

I can’t help but suggest you build you “logs” using a platform or saw horses. Sure would save your back. Also building a jig for them would save all that measuring. I know your back will feel better in the long run.

I’m happy that you’re able to get back on the cabin. I’m retired and you’re right about time flies and not enough time in the day. We did get started on our cabin build last week.

I really like the voice-over.

love your setup. tank you for sharing

Very nice video , THANKS ...Alan 🇨🇱

I have enjoyed all your videos on the cabin build and look forward to your next video. I enjoy the music you use as background and find it soothing to the soul. Keep us informed of the progress you are making.

I LIKE YOUR CABIN, AND PHIOSOPHY ON ANIMAL RAISING.

Yes so nice to see spring come alive with little ones born, but being in piece at the cabin is awesome, love the burning of the wood , I do that when I build furniture & chests and things like that when I find time :) I live off grid full time and love it :)

Great wood stove and your place from the outside looks like an old shack but when you come inside wow its so nice clean and great woodworking wow

The cabin is looking great! Nice to see the progress. Great craftsmanship!

👍 Another great video. So relaxing and engrossing! Thanks for sharing!🏚️

Yah new a new video!! Thank you !

I have really enjoyed watching this build and am looking forward to the bedroom and bath build . this is a unique cabin ! I sure wish it was mine!

I love your main building theme music. It's like Assassination of Jesse James meets Moonshiners.

Très très très chouette !!! 👍👍👍

We use a cast iron skillet that has been passed down from my great grandmother. She died in 1988 at the age of 94. When using a cast iron skillet, some of the iron leaches into the food, which in small amounts is good for your body.

It’s coming together nicely brother 👍

What a beautiful cabin you have so nice to see your video again Rosa from Texas

You should use a wet sponge and wipe the lime off of your stone. I think the contrast you look much better.

I Love It

You are a man of nature….love your animals! Your second bedroom is looking good…watch your back please…those lumber are prettier heavy….oooops…..sorry your a young man! Hehehehe

What a awesome little cabin! I bet that dude is rock solid using screws and subfloor glue. Watching your progress definately makes me dream of doing something similar. I love the 2×8 construction and the way u preserved the wood with the propane. One thing is for sure, that cabin is definately not going anywhere for a whole Lotta years. Great job man!

Senang melihat Anda Saudara! Hati-hati dengan langkah Kaki. Terima Kasih telah Memperlihatkan Peternakan Anda lagi! 🧡

As always the cabin is coming along nicely keep up the great work and keep the videos coming love the work.

As allways good job!

Love your channel. Thoughts as I watch: When bucking trees, cut compression side first. Then tension side. You'll rarely get a blade pinched when doing that. Want a cool stool? Research a three legged stool for balance and stability. Great to see the wife! Glad y'all are loving the new place.

What a lucky woman she is to have a man that could build all that

Good to see ya back ! Looks incredible. Thinking about all that gluing n possible hand cramping ? Dewalt battery caulk gun ? $200 bucks 🤷🏻‍♂️. Might be worthwhile investment. Thank you for sharing

I love your choice of music.

I have built a few rock walls and I can tell you that some of your muratic acid and a stiff brush will really clean your Rockwall up and make it look nice

You eat well , enjoy your site .

Hello, I already really like your house, I'm curious to see how it develops further. I think your work is great, beautiful and robust.

i still say a good dog by your side out there would be a great addition and alot of company

Ваша стройка просто шедевр. Мне очень нравиться. Удачи Вам в жизни.

So enjoying this channel...thank you!

this guy is awesome

It's always interesting to watch your videos. Keep on truckin'!

Thanks for fitting us into your life. Keep on going. And I think you should switch kitchen count to under the window at the table

Sheep are low maintenance, except when they get their head stuck in a bucket. lol

Great progress

Beautiful work 🇬🇧😊

Dude uses the torch on EVERYTHING, but lights the fire with a match :) But I enjoy your videos:)

Here's some synchronicity for you. I was just watching another channel I follow Martijn Doorland who is restoring a stone cabin in the Italian Alps and he just suffered a tremendous storm with devastation on his site. He's spent the last week restoring things. Adversity strikes but we keep a stiff upper lip and move on. Loved the baby sheep and goats. We used to keep goats and they were terrible brats. My Dad would come in for a break and they would try to turn the door knob so they could come in too. They were up on our cars and eating my Mom's precious flowers. lol

Perfect!

Thanks for sharing! Congrats on the Progress! Love the music! Ron PTL USA

Great job

I'm enjoying your cabin build very much... we're on the other side of our beautiful state...east

Love your cabin. One of the most interesting builds on RU-vid. I haven't heard you mention you children before. I'm sure for good reasons. Do they ever visit the cabin. Will they be enjoying the cabin in the future? Thanks for sharing your journey.

Looking good. 👍👍. Peace

Love the progress, keep up the great work. Favorite off grid channel on You tube.

Same storm took 200 watts offline in my system. Making plans for a better system. I must say I've lost steam on my off grid place. Best regards your neighbor 1 hr west . Your cabin looks awesome hopefully I'll start my new one this summer on the back of the property.

Just found your video i love your cabin 👍😊

Très belle avancée de votre cabane ❤❤❤

your channel reminds me of my self reliance, i have never seen logs mfg from dimensional lumber kinda cool.

You will find driving screws much easier with a impact/drill driver.

I agree! Sheep are so much easier to raise! They look at fences like it a safe zone. Coated look at a fence as a challenge to conquer!

To hoist stuff try a self adjusting friction hitch. A Schwabish(there is another c in there somewhere) or a Distel hitch. Either of these knots will hold your load while you maneuver it and they are infinitely adjustable.

My self reliance done over and over and over getting old. People try to mimick amythimg they see someone else set the precident for success.. be individuals not sheep for Gods sake... off grid channels all seem the same lately. What makes this one unique is the 2×8 construction which is absolutely a great and different way to build... so def appreciate the fresh take on economical building here.. nice work

You lost me at onions, but had me back at steak 😆

Jamie I had so much anxiety while you were building the logs this time. I had the most anxiety while you were in the corner with the circular saw. I just knew you were going to injure yourself. I believe you would have been far safer with a reciprocating saw or the saw you used in the beginning of the video to cut the tree. As you were assembling the logs you dropped your caulk gun and other tools at your feet hindering you and tripping you too. Just as a suggestion, you could spend a few minutes building yourself a jig to get the offsets you need for your log assembly. I speak from experience, the clutter at your feet during a project can cause an injury. It may be a minor injury or major, but take that moment for prevention, or this cabin build may end up feeling like the farm chores you spoke of in the beginning of the video. Thanks for sharing this build with us, and tell your boss lady thank you for sharing you with us too.

I enjoyed your last video. Hope everything is ok.

Where's the TV gonna go? LOL!

You should see these trees

Best cooking ware...cast iron.

Please add CC link to your videos for the Deaf. Thanks Great build

Looking good. I believe I would have knocked together a couple of sawhorses to build those “logs” more at waist level. That’s a lot of bending over, at least for me. Also a couple of jigs to get the spacing the same rather than measuring each one. Measure once, build a jig, end repetitive measuring. You’re doing good though holding down a full time job, farming animals, and this. Got a little worried it had been three weeks since your last video.

It amazes me that you don't use a jig to create the wall timbers

Great videos, thanks for all the hard work putting the content on this channel. I'm curious how you would compare your method to the tongue-and-groove d-logs you can buy.

The goats would love the woods, though.

Totally understandable with the kid's sports. What sports do they play? My 11 year old son plays travel hockey for the Knoxville Jr Ice Bears, we played a bunch of Nashville teams this year. Love the videos, great craftsmanship on that cabin!

THESE VIDEOS ARE GREAT!!! Question: In TN you can just build without permits, plans, contractors etc? This is what I want to do! Land is handled (TN), now I just need the time and knowledge!

I seperated my sheep and goats went all Katadins best meat i ever ate, love your joint and corners are so tight good quality

Any new videos coming soon? Really enjoying your build. Just perfect 👌.
