Saving the Abandoned Cabin from COLLAPSE - NEW FOUNDATION! 

I want to thank everyone who has left a comment. I do my best to read them all, and I really appreciate all of you! Max says thank you as well 🐻

My Dad taught me everything I know about cars, house repairs/building, and "everything else you'll need to know so you don't need a man to do it for you". Dads that teach their kids how to do things for themselves are the greatest gift to our independence, and I can only offer my deepest condolences to you and your family's loss. I've been watching this series since your first video came across my feed, and I can't wait to see the house when it's finished.

I’m sorry for your loss. My daddy died 31 years ago & I think about all the things he taught me, mostly by observation, as he was a quiet man. I injured my back a week ago (assisting animal control rescue 2 pups that has been dumped in our neighborhood), & was ordered to take it easy. So, I went down the RU-vid rabbit hole & discovered your renovation. Now I’m invested! Gotta see how it turns out! I did learn a new thing -there are gas powered mini-excavators with pull starts! Even my husband, who just retired from over 50 years as a dirt guy didn’t know they existed (he started when he was 16 & still in HS)!

So, the "supervisor's" name is Max? As a mason, I say you did fine. Foundation wall redo pours ALWAYS suck. You learned a couple things along the way. 1. Can't have too much bracing. 2. figure you have to under pin later. Other than that-all good. Pay no mind to keyboard contractors. Your doing way more with the cabin than I would have. I'da fixed it with a match. Losing dad sux. Give yourself time. Mine went home in '07. Still miss him, but I know i'll see him again. You may find yourself forgetting he's gone and starting to dial him up before remembering. That's normal too. It just means his son loves him very much. And yes, dad knows that even now. Your skill and perseverance are inspiring and a testimony to how he raised you. Be blessed. Jesus Rules!

I'm highly invested in this project. It has no relationship to what I do. Im a house wife in a small US town, but I do have a rotti as well. Loving every step of this renovation!!

I lost my father also. So sorry about the passing of your best friend. RIP John 3;16 🙏

Heres how you should have poured the concrete. 1st dig around the foundation.... And who cares bro You are doing this project yourself if you fuck up a little bit who cares as long as the house doesn't fall and you pass code You're doing a fantastic job I can't wait to see the finished product

Absolutely loving this series! Great mahi to bring this old dame back to life. All the best from New Zealand!

Concrete Kyle here, you did a good job. And I like the way you finished with a little polygonal masonry!

Daddy's girl here. I lost mine 5 years ago and I treasure everything he taught me about fixing cars and things in my home. He was a big prankster and the eyeball thing is something he would have totally done. Miss you papi. 😢

I started watching your videos because I enjoy watching renovation. My uncle could renovate or build anything. These videos remind me of my childhood. Max is sweet. 😊

I learnt along time ago , grieving is good, what's even better is you celebrate all the fabulous time you had when Dad was here and all that he accomplished.. 😊

The amount of craziness in this series is so entertaining!

I am so very sorry for your loss. I too have lost my father. Hugs.

I think it’s great you honored your father as the foundation of your knowledge. It’s a damn shame that more men aren’t teaching their sons these types of things.

The wheels on the water tank make me laugh. I like the way the field stone fill in looks, kinda like it was planned.

Your Dad taught you well. I’m really enjoying your projects. Keep it up! So sorry for your loss.

Lost my dad 7.5 years ago. It is very hard to loose a loved one. Love folloving your project with the cabin. So great you see the value in it and not, like so many would, take it down. Har work but you will be rewarded. You preserve a piece of history. Max is such a lovely dog 😍. Looking forward to future episodes! Love ❤️ from a swedish follower.

Cheers to and great admiration for your Dad who raised this boy to a fine man. I am a great grandmother so I know these things - Peace and Blessings to all who enter here 💚☘️💚☘️💚☘️💚☘️💚☘️💚☘️💚

Sending strength and comfort for the loss of your father. 💜

He gets His channel up in subscribers and they are already hitting him up with paid sponsors lol, Good job dude, You made it on RU-vid!!

Bag in some Non shrinking grout to fill the final little gap. Love this series, thanks for the content.

My Dad was my hero. I miss him every day since he passed in 2012. Sorry for your loss, and I wish I could say it gets easier.

Thank you best friend for all you do! Thank you AG1 for the sponsorship! Praying blessings over you and your family Mr 99 Projects 🙏❤️

Can I just say I love Max?

Max is so smart and well-behaved, he is a credit to you! How could anyone not love him!!

Please give Max a hug for Zakkary, he said someday when we have a yard with a fence he wants a dog like Max because he's such a good dog. You're such an inspiration to Zakkary and I really appreciate that. We hope you're doing well and can't wait for more of the little cabin videos. But in the mean time, we're watching the others as well. ( Just a reminder that we are your friends in Nebraska that emailed you a couple of times.) Thanks for all your hard work and we're looking forward to when you are getting closer to and closer to the end. We know it's A LOT of work, so we are being patient. Lots of hugs and prayers sent your way.

😂😂😂 I LOVED the AG1 "commercial"!! "Theses lushious locks!"

I think Max should get a raise for his supervisory superiority!! Nice job, guys. Saving yourself a lot of Ching, learning, and having fun. Lost my Pappy 13 years ago, he was 82, gets better with time bro. Memories last forever!!

A few minutes ago I thought to myself hmmmm I hope there is a new Video and booooom there ya go 😍 Thank you so much! And I love Max with all my heart 😭❤️ Take care 🫶🏼

That’s right Max. Combos are the best snackies. 👏👏👏 concrete ✅ Condolences 😔 I’ll send this 80° sunny weather your way.

And I’ve watched all seven videos with interest… Hard work!

Your Dad raised a good son....! Enjoy your thoughts of him..

Man. So many whiny people in these comments. At the end of the day, it’s not any worse than the way they did it back when that first got built. So it’s ok. Just some thoughts for next time, as a guy who is currently studying construction inspection in college. It may be expensive, but shotcrete would get that wall flush to the base and would only need one form. They use it to line tunnels and overpasses for structural support. Overall, looks pretty good. Those field stone foundations are always so gorgeous. Any structural concerns could easily be addressed with a couple jack posts behind the foundation wall. I’m so sorry for your loss, the good ones always go too soon. I think he’d be really proud to see all you’re doing. Max is a very good boy :)

I love Mr. Water Tank, limping along, ready to give your project his life.

Much Love to you and your family.Your dad raised a respectable man! We’re proud of you💪

I love your music, I love your dog, and I love Combos! Keep up the great work! 😉

I'll give you a thumbs up just for the Ode to Dad.

I'm sorry to hear that you lost your father. 💙

I am obsessed with this cabin 😍 more episodes please 🙏

I really like the blackness of old cedar shingles. The weathering tells the story. My family built a shingle style house, my dad, my grandfather, my uncle. I loved how the shingles looked. Everyone had been dipped into linseed oil. I came home after a patrol, I was in the Navy, and my mom had painted it blue.

It looks more rustic with the field stone - like it.

Pour a footing, then use block, pour then , after and more platelumber , drill thru existing plate , and anchor plate to concrete.

Great dedication video , one for the books for your memory

Stumbled upon your cabin series a couple weeks ago, and became obsessed. Thank you so much for the long-form videos, and I adore your dedication to fixing up what you have and innovative ideas of making things work. I will also add that I have no knowledge of all the things you’ve been able to renovate, but I think you’re doing one heck of a job. Keep it up! Love what you’re doing! ❤❤❤ P.S: please give Max some extra pats for me for being the best-ever foreman!!! ❤️

A job well done sir ! 😎👍

I look for your progress every week! 🎉 You are are so smart!! Don't Stop, plz!! You're a RU-vid Star now , Worldwide!!😊😊😊

I'm so very sorry your dad has passed. He will never really leave you. I really enjoy your channel. Always look forward to seeing what is next for the cabin, and Max is icing on the cake.

I just want to say you are creating something beautiful for your family. Your work ethic is inspiring. Good luck and of course I’ll be watching.

Good job bud, the only helpful advice i would have to give is you could if you wanted to seal up the joints and gaps between the rocks and all is use a mortar masonry grout bag i found that very helpful on a few of my projects! Have a great day bud!!

The wheels on the portable water tank - EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!

I am so sorry about your loss. Lots of love and hugs from Australia xx

My sincere condolences to you on the loss of your father. Who is remembered still lives.

Aww I think Buddy wants his bed ! Loving the series 😊

Cant wait to see smoke coming out of the chimney💨

So sorry for your loss 💔

Nothing I was just messing around, but I can’t wait to your updated video on the house but yeah you guys did a good job. I like it.

You gotta do what you gotta do to make it work with what you have

Thanks!

My condolences to you and your family on your father's passing. The house is looking good, and the foundation has turned out great. The fieldstone looks very authentic. Keep it up

Great job on your foundation! Too bad about your salvaged water tank. Im sure it lived a long fruitful life. I love max, he's such a good boy! Great video! No one got injured, and the mimi bike came back to life! Blessings from New Hampshire 👏

Great video, we (my husband and I) couldn't take our eyes off the work you do. Condollences to the loss of your dad. Lost mine when I was 10 years old. It isn't easy.

What works is fine, as long as it holds it good,Nice job Bro.

Nevermind what the haters are gonna say; your cabin is turning out damn good. Keep up the great work and looking forward to the next installment of this project!

Who cates what others think or say, youre having fun, thats the main thing. Love the vids keep em coming

Just found your channel today and powerwatched all the episodes on the cabin build! Love what you are doing. Great content!! Max is such a good boy!! Looking forward to your next update!

Lost my mom 10 years ago. Have so much guilt I never saw her enough still 10 years later. Miss her terribly.

I always enjoy the doggo parts!

Max is adorable! 🐕

Amazing work! Not many would restore it, I am so thrilled you doing this!

My condolences so sorry for your lost may he RIP 🙏

Buddy is sooo cute!

So sorry for your loss, I lost my father in November. Shoes that will never be filled.

Another great video , good job.Im happy it won't collapse now.Foundations complete.Its a sturdy cabin home now.

99 what would of been really interesting is a timelapse of the hole being filled with concrete you would keep the viewers attention more 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Looks like some metaphysical forces intervened to get you to use period correct methods to finish the new foundation wall. Cool to see the hybrid of old and new with the concrete blending into mortared fieldstone on the edges. Given the moss on them, that pile of stones is probably the remnants of an old fieldstone wall that divided farmland and was built well before your cabin was. Get your metal detecting buddy out there. You might find some cool relics by the wall like buttons, shoe buckles, coins and oxen shoes.

Another cabin video. Awesome sauce!

I lost my mom on 8/23 at age 90. May he rest in peace. Now as for you, I give you 50 gold stars for Determination, Energy, patience and all around positive man. No more Gold stars as it would appear too personal. A fan in Minneapolis.

Love this series. I appreciate that you are salvaging a bit of history. Don’t be bothered by the haters, they’re looking at their phones while you’re building a dream. Scritches for Max. ❤

The supervisor, Max, does such a great job!!! Please tell him I said hi haha I love his contribution to your projects

What a great job yet again. I am truly impressed with you and your friends' skills and persistence.

IDK...You seemed to balance both sides aesthetically. It's visually interesting. I like it.

I know the feeling some time's you just want some alone time and not be bothered

Another great video, you are doing something that most men only dream of doing. Rebuilding a house in the woods to live in with your own hand learning as you go. Our fathers definitely shape our life , to make us a better person . The videos are long but greatly appreciated , keep the long videos not a fan of shorts.

New subscriber. I think it’s looking good. My dog Coty loves watching Max. Seems you had a fantastic dad. I lost mine 10 years ago to cancer. I think of him and my mom a lot. I know they are watching over me and my family. Keep up the great work.

Great video. Sorry for your loss.

I've been watching your videos for a couple months. I think I finally figured you out, you know how to do everything. Jack of all trades. I really enjoy the content keep the videos coming.

Your dog knows the word treat! 😋 He’s very cute!

Love following your cabin rebuild. Sorry for the loss of your father. Keep up the good work. I am sure you made him very proud of you by following in his footsteps.

Love your videos and how you show both the good and bad things that come with the projects. You did a good job on repairing this foundation. Thank you for bringing life back into this old property.

I love how neatly you work- neat precise work on the foundation and fieldstone plus always keep the job site picked up and clean. Great job thank you for posting progress

Hey guys, you have a fantastic video blog. After catching a few episodes, I've find your humor on the cabin work site is great! We will be purchasing a fixer upper in the Berkshires of Massachusetts. Your episodes give me great ideas on renovation tasks ... Keep your awesome videos coming! Peace out

Good morning 99 Projects! Love the shot out to your dad ❤ May he R I P Your doing a phenomenal job on your cabin! Love watching you do it as well. See you next time! Hello Max 🐕

Short of burning the joint down I’d say you did a fabulous job. Looks like Max the Supervisor approved and passed off his inspection so you are good to go.👍🏻😉

Max looks at you as if to say “you threw it, YOU go get it! I am so very sorry about your dad. I lost my husband almost 6 years ago and it was and continues to be difficult for all of us. How is your mom doing? ❤

Why are there not more “likes” on this video? Great job guys!

Sorry for your loss, i lost my dad April first this year

I like watching you do this! It's been awhile since I did stuff like this! Brings back memories!

I'll be honest, I like that you ended up having to use the fieldstone. Pays homage to the original construction of the cabin

I'm jealous you look like that was hard work and you enjoyed it, I'm really happy for you I think what you did is awesome I like that first step at the door made out of cement nice.
