    If the back of the old cabin had been rotten, it was likely due to water rolling down the hill behind and infiltrating the cabin. Shouldn't you do a drainage trench along the back wall, directing the water to the sides? Loved that you read the comments about the cinder block fix.

    Just got fed this video. R.I.P. your aunt and grandma. I found your channel independent of your family channel, and I've watched quite a bit of it now. It's quite surreal to see you in Pacific City. I live in Salem, but my inlaws have a place in Kiwanda Shores. I've spent the majority of my vacations and weekends away in P.C. for the last 15 years. If you ever need a place to stay, hit me up. We've got a couple kayaks and also own the wooded lot nextdoor with plenty of trees for hammocks. Love your content, can't wait to see the first throwing axe you craft in your new forge!
