The Cabin Siding Is Finally Going On! House Design Revealed!!! 

The shingles are really cool! It's nothing we use here in Sweden.

The level of skill you have makes me so jealous.

Love the commentary! Conversations with oneself. Pep talks and whatnot. I’ve never been good at putting into words those emotions but the comic relief was spot on 👌

Love the Greene & Greene, Gamble House, and Japanese influence in the design! It is going to be awesome!

That's some great sketchup work!

I still enjoy the simple excellence of every build. It's not complicated or pretentious (well, maybe a little) but it's all just correct. It's right. It's good. I hope this continues to be a place to see your soul prosper.

I’d come out for a weekend. I’m on the island.

Man I wish I lived closer, way over on the east coast in New York. I would so be there for a couple weeks to help. ROAD TRIP!!! who's in???

Thank you for continuing posting. I've see your passion for love and your family, and that is not wasted on me. Thank you.

Beautiful plan, nice SketchUp work. If you ever want a nice rendering with trees and all let me know.

I’ll drive my skoolie up there and help you out bud. Love the design of the house. Dope af

This house, if you can build it, will absolutely be my favorite timber frame house of all time. Incredibly ambitious. Stunning. And the view…… sending you strength 🙏

3:42 Come on man! 15 pieces of flare is the MINIMUM! Have you seen Brian? He's got 37 pieces of flare AND a terrific smile!

Set a foundation to support a masonry oven in that new beauty - Will cut down firewood requirement and give really nice heat for a day or 2 with a single fire.

Holy moly ❗That's a good looking design for the house❗🙂

Beer time folks🇨🇦🍺👍he’s back ⚔️

That looks unbelievably awsom , take your time and it will be great !

It will be a wonderful journey for you and for us!

Love the long video! You are in my top ten youtube subscriptions

A beautiful and very ambitious design - but if there's one person who can pull it off it's the Samurai!

You have the most appropriate collection of sponsors for your needs of any channel I can think of.

Fantastic precise work as always. Could you angle the lintel/window header downwards a little for water run off and then when you screw into window up rights at a slight angle, the screws would sit flush on the lintel angle/top too?

I love watching your videos, I just had back surgery and watching them takes my mind off things. Great job and amazing work as always 👍🏼

Find a way to allow some of the 'clear story' windows to open - the natural convection in the summer will be worth the effort.

Expedient chainsaw finishing, I dig it.

Great video! Wow! That future house plans are amazing

Loved the monolog at the 28 minute mark

Thanks for the amazing reward 🙂👍🌟

Brother, this house design is absolutely amazing! Always am stunned by your simplistic designs of beauty. See a lot of lessons taken from your book recommendations, will you make a small nook or rope/safety net area in clear story, to relax or as viewpoint? The ultimate samurai build, that's for sure! Wish I can come over to help when the you start building!

For as far as you or anyone cares. It's all fun and games trying to make "funny" comments on my part but I also want to share that this journey is very inspiring for me to chase my own dreams. Living on my own lakeside (puddle in my front yard-concrete jungle-terraced house-style) Thousands of kilometers/miles away the vibes are coming across. Started renovating my own house, doing a little woodworking here and there, and making more time getting better at it by working less hours behind a desk. So thank you very much. Keep it up. I wish you and your family all the best.

Beauty work. Though it has been said many times, I am glad that you show your mistakes. We are all a bit knuckleheaded at times. I’m Canada I think that actually makes us Canuckleheads.

Looks amazing

Amazing project to come

Sweet!!!! your family will have many memories to come ..... keep it up big boy

I don't want to second guess your judgement but I put a bigger cap on my woodstove pipe and it brought the sparks down to the wooden shingles. Instant problem. It looks like you have a steel roof but you've got a lot of nice wood. Maybe a air swivel cap. Thanks for your time you spend filming your great work. Have at least two fire extinguishers at hand. That's what saved our house. I wish you well.

Thank youuuuuuu

Beautiful work all around. And thanks for sharing the struggles, that reduces their weight for both of us.

Hi Jessi,for snow slide I would recommend no less than 7/12 pitch,I know I live on Upper Campbell lake.

Awesome

Beautiful design for your house, really like the big overhangs to get that water away from the house , I know that you will pull it off !!!

The next time that you clean out your little woodstove, take a damp sponge and dip a corner into the grey ash. Take that and rub onto the inside of your glass. The lye in the ash and the mild abrasive of the same will give you a sparkling clean fireplace window with no scratching. You're welcome. I told you it would work.

A beautiful cozy cabin… Amazing work of art…

Your vision and determination are something else! 👏👍😀

Great work. The free hand cuts always impress me. I find it difficult to do that, yet those with skill can make those cuts and it was flat like you demonstrated.

I would cut the top window trim to a shallow v cut 1-1/2" narrower in the middle same thickness on the ends

Lots of gorgeous here! I love the low pitch on the main house roof!

Ooww, that house is going to be so awesome! I wish I could come over and help, but since I come from the Netherlands that would be difficult....

Beautiful work that site is crazy

Clean unburned charcoal is a great fire starter. Flame it a a little, like you did, and like BBQ briquettes or charcoal, it is glowing hot in 5 - 10 minutes

the sketchup model looks beautiful!! But is the roof angle fine for snowheavy areas like canada?

Nice looking weave on the corners; it's a great skill to have.

your little struggle at the 28 min mark made me chuckle, because I went through the exact same thoughts when building my bunkie last year.... the mind cannot be underestimated, it is a powerful.

Dude!!!! I been seen your work for more than 8 years, I love your videos and has inspired me to work with wood here in Argentina!!!!! Life is boring without you man, keep it up!!!!

I just can't believe how awesome the boat is now. Incredible upgrade! Even creature comforts!

Finaly a piece of wooden jewelry, perfect! ❤❤❤

3 boys that in a few yrs will b in their teens all in one room. Well, ya may wanna re-think that. Speaking as a guy who grew up with 4 brothers. In any case, overall a very cool design!

No matter the weather, the issue, the cost, you never compromise!! I love it

Wow that house design is amazing

Tellin' it like it is bro. 🕊🙏👍

Expectations are a down payment for a resentment, your cabin looks 1000% better than mine cause I don’t have a cabin on a lake. I live in a four room apartment in a small noisy city. Gratitude Jesse, Gratitude. Poor me,poor me, pour me a stiff drink😂

Coming along so nicely.. I agree with your mindset when it comes to finishing large home projects. I found that when I don't think about self-imposed deadlines I end up enjoy the process much more.

Hey Samurai, I have followed and loved every one of your designs. I’m an architect and when I saw your design I was fascinated by the structural knowledge you have applied from your wood working background. With regards to the design, and as a means to strengthen your idea, I suggest two things: 1. Use diagonal pieces of lumber at each corner of your walls in order to protect it from side to side movement. This is a key structural element. 2. On the elevated central roof for the natural lighting, it would be highly recommended that these windows can open (perhaps automated due to height). This will allow the interior heat of the house to rise and exit through these windows, allowing a natural cooling of the home and a passive ventilation system excellent for wooden homes The design is beautiful and I’m sure you’ll make a true masterpiece out of it.

Holy fec nuts Sumurai Man that is amazing plan. I am over in the U.K. but would definitely be up for making the trip across the pond to help out at some point. 👍

In my old house in Portland, I had three skylights.. When I had the roof replaced (with half a mind of getting the house ready for sale sometime in the future which I did!) I finally bought (manually) retractable skylights for the stairwell (20' above the low end of the 2 flight stairway to the half basement) . One in the kitchen, and one in the master bathroom. The one above the stairwell sucked up air from the basement sliding door which I had locked in a slightly opened position. In hot summer days (and Portland got it a few years!) it would remain in the upper seventies downstairs WITHOUT using AC with the convection effect. I had a hideabed there with a thick memory foam mattress and it was sooo comfortable for sleeping. Heckuva man cave with the dueling big screens and stereo system with Dolby 5.1. And it was all fresh air. It's just an idea for you going forward.

wow the shingles look stunning. very inspiring jesse. also i am so excited for the house build. I love the wrap around deck and i bet you cant wait to be sitting on your back deck over looking the lake on a summer night with a cold one. as you said though, you have waited your whole life for this moment, so enjoy every second of it. Cant wait to watch along

Looks incredible.

Рада снова видеть вас,! Не пропадайте!

Hey Jesse, really looking forward to the construction of your dream. I watch another channel, Shoyan: Japanese Carpenter, and he just finished a house with many elements you show in your design. I love the Japanese approach to the design and spiritual aspects of their buildings, and the detail. The finishing and precision is remarkable, and so very obvious in your techniques. Thanks for including us in your adventure.

Nice

Love design can’t wait to watch you building your dream

loooove how the house design is looking!

Nice work samcarp! I love your Canadian pagoda! I live in Seattle and love BC. You do good work.

Amazing house design, as a civil engineer of architecture and urban design, i approve.

Top notch, as always. And I always learn something useful...

Now that’s something to look forward too woo woo

Good job buddy if you need a hand with the plumbing give me a shout

27:50 me too 🤣 me too.

Cant wait to watch you build that. Would love to come help for a bit too!

Wow dude. Beautiful design. Hope you get to build it soon. I’d like to see it come to life.

Sweet just like legend of 5 perfect tears

That floating corner in the master will be sick!! I hope you can pull it off!!

I always use instabond glue on my outside corners.

Before you dig foundations please consider a house that takes full advantage of the views. If you designed a long house facing the lake with all the bedrooms and living spaces facing the lake with bathrooms, corridors, storage and utility rooms behind and have a huge overhanging roof on the lake side with lots of decking and folding glass doors on to the deck. Believe me, looking at trees gets old quickly but having a ever changing, far reaching landscape to look at is just amazing and very good for the soul.

im not gonna lie, when i saw the 'clear story' from the outside i honestly thought it was gonna be a pergola area with stairs leading up to it from the inside. maybe 1/2 walls with removable glass and screens. what a view and what a space to enjoy outdoors in the summer if it were even possible. the rendering looks incredible. love the design. God bless.

Great job👍 bro

Oh snap! That’s a thing of beauty!!!

the main house design looks amazing

the floating corner can be done. maybe not with wood but it can be done

I love to watch your attention to detail. It repeatedly reminds me of what a hack I am.

Very cool design Samurai, can’t wait to see that go up

Looking good... WOODHEAT: I don't know if you're familiar, but have a look at "masonry heaters". They're extremely efficient, a short hot burn every 12 hours and use only a fraction of the wood to heat. They can be built in virtually any size to suit any space. Even your tiny little cabin. Or you next build(s).

On the new house how would the roof hold up in strong winds..?? Is the overhang a bit too much for winter solar gain..?? The random non pattern on the cabin looks great ...good call by you...🖖

That will be an epic build. Good Luck...

Nice siding! How often do you have to clean the chimney in a cabin where the fire is not always burning?

Said this too many times! Absolutely, love your channel! Sooo, wish you'd post/upload (whatever you call it) more. Watching from Colorado, USA

It's going to be an epic build! 🤜🤛

That is sick. Samurai quality.

Cabin turned out amazing 👏🏻

Looks cool. When you explain what you want to do I kind of remember what Tokyo Llama was doing to his house in Japan and transpose that with your description, it looks cool.

Make the clear story ventalatable. To vent the summer heat. Nice design eha.
