Building a Big Wooden Tent (aka A HOUSE) in the Maine Woods
zhlédnutí 868Před rokem
Welcome to the visual story of how we built a wooden tent on the land of the Waukegan People of the Algonquin Nation. We built on the land of the flying squirrel, the land of the owl and the rabbit, the coyote and the red squirrel, the spider and the wasp. This is the land of the tree frog, and the red bellied salamander, and we never forget the mosquito, the tick and the black fly. The primary...

Hilarious Owl Conversation with fail.

At the end of this incomprehensible conversation I seem to make a mistake. The owl gives a long pause and an abbreviated response. I just think it's funny if quite embarrassing!

Much of the design of our workshop was determined by what we were able to mill up from the trees we dropped to clear the land. This large spruce provided the opportunity for a 10 foot wide barn door because the size allowed the span. And we had no crane on site. I am always astonished at the crazy things that people can accomplish on the edge of capacity.
Just watch this before you decide to DIY a slab.

I think I can DIY ANYTHING. Then I do it, and sometimes it goes fine (window installation) and sometimes it's a nightmare (that foundation). It is very hard to 'know your limits' when you haven't done something before. AND the concrete contractor blew me off for the foundation so I HAD TO DIY. I left to get something while this dude was jamming on the slab and I should have stayed- so, stay. Ok...

Please share the finished project.
Oh blimey, he just had me in tears too. What a wise and loving man ❤
We all try so hard to listen to his wise words and do as he asked us to do so kindly. I think this was his last sermon in Sorrento after 40 years, hence the feels. to hear all the people in the pews also tell him they love him just slays me. We can live a life of love when that is what we center. Love you dear one! Thanks for fighting with me for goodness and life!
Great video! Thanks! ❤
Is there a way to cut vent holes in the fabric for AC ducts? What about running wires in from solar panels? I want everything sealed to keep bugs out
Hello- I do not work for Springbar. You should probably ask them your question if you can not answer this question for yourself. I am a person who would do that myself if I wanted to and put up with the consequences. Not everyone is like that though.
@@LynnStone I recently figured out I'm getting the Core for hotter months and a canvas tent for colder months. Not Springbar though since customer service never replied and hence the warranty would be worthless
I love this. Thank you.
Is there an extra drawer somewhere for a wandering sock puppet? I love it!
Congratulations - it's a testament to creativity and persistence! Home sweet home, O Pioneers!
Lovely!
People keep asking me if it's 'done'. I reply that it is not done, but I am done with IT! All fun projects now (I hope!)
Oh my Lordy Lordy! I cried watching that, not last because I saw your Dad in so many photos and know how much that must have meant to you. So good to see Otter too. The place is amazing and huge and incredibly beautiful down to every loving detail. Can I share it.
Aw thank you for your kind comment- your words made me cry so looks like we are made of the same stuff! My Dads loving support was instrumental to surviving this hard but rewarding journey. Of course you can share! I have some prayers and sermons up here from my dad in the church as well. My camera work isn't great but his words sure are. Love Lives!
Aww I only just saw your reply to my comment ❤️ Tears will surprise us at so many often unexpected points as we grieve over the years. I’m def going to share your gorgeous video. Thanks beautiful creative woman. Xx

What church is this?
That can is a flour sifter btw. For easily scooping out the occasional algae clump or leaves.
You don't use caution tape. They sell a special metal tape that goes on top of your wire so they can locate.
Yes thats correct if you have code- but this is on my private land in an area with 'no code' -so we just did this to help ourselves if we dig later- sorry if thats not clear.
Am I missing something? What's this all about?
You are a dear to ask- it is about the sound of the bowl and nothing more. Enjoy!

He knew how to say what is important.
Would love to see an update/tour video!
You got it! Will get you an updated video with the moss all grown in and such. Thank you, it was so great to build.
I like the look and size of these diamond shingles , where can I buy them? Thanks
Ah the company was in the Pacific Northwest I am looking for the info but can not find it. Will update when I find it.
Aha I found it- Zappone zappone.com
@@LynnStone Thank you
Love the set up, comfy in the cold! Fun!
It looks good. You saved thousands doing it yourself and not paying empoyees.
Although it took so long we ate a LOT! So that got spendy LOL!
Did the blowout happen when you vibrated the concrete as it was being poured? Could you end up reinforcing the bottom of all the forms all the way around, or did the blowout happen later on after everything was poured? I'm using threaded rod every 16 in vertically and horizontally to pour a 6 ft wall. Just wanted a little more information and details about the blowout and what let go first and at what time. Sometimes when people vibrate the concrete for too long it starts to send shock waves through the concrete therefore causing a blowout further down the line.
Oh gosh sorry I am so slow to respond! The blowout happened as the concrete was being poured.If your threaded rod goes all the way through your form on both sides of course you will be fine. Plus? it re-enforces the concrete. Minus? It will start to rust and channel that process into your concrete, causing spalling. We put a adhesive based rubber sealant sheeting where our concrete meets the dirt when we filled it back in. We probably sprayed galvanizing spraypaint on the threaded rod because we are ignorant, paranoid overbuilders. How is your build going?
@@LynnStone Everything is at a stand still due to the winter conditions. We have to keep the forms covered until March when we get at least two day of plus 10 degrees celsius so the concrete does not freeze.
Thank you! I love the old photos really great to see the old days in Eau Claire!
Glad you like them! What is remembered lives.
Well Lynn.......I am a building developer and have been for pushing 40yrs......your work would put some professionals to shame......Its your baby......rock it as you see fit and nuts to the naysayers ! Post some more when you have a moment. Big love from the UK.
Thanks that means so much to me. The house is gorgeous now, which is crazy since I drew it on graph paper with pencils! (no architect- that didn't suck!) And I really learned why they say the hardest part is 'getting out of the ground'. I also did all the below slab plumbing myself with help from a friend. We got some help with the slab pour thankfully. Had help framing with our own milled wood and a hand with the roof but we have done everything else ourselves, learning as we go on you tube, I hope I helped someone to insist on finding a pro to pour their concrete! But we got a better foundation doing it ourselves- we got WAY more rebar- tied correctly, than the local pros would have used. So that was good. Cheers mate!
Here is the whole project for you if you are interested in what folks do when they know NOTHING! czcams.com/video/XLUBY2osMdY/video.html
How’d you get to Maine so fast?
have your braces on 40 degree ma'am
Yep. and low enough to not be a pivot point as well.
useless formwork job, sorry to say so, you should an expert
Wow YOU don't listen. I told folks to get a pro, if you CAN. Thats funny you say it is 'useless'- our blowout gave us an EXTRA strong back wall- 16 inches wide at the base and tapering up to a nice perfectly straight and square sil. Just cuz it is stupid and ugly doesnt mean its useless! As for an expert? OMG, I waited DAYS for contractors to come and arrange for them to do this for me. Do you think I WANTED to do this? HELL NO. THEY BLEW ME OFF again and again. I mean, they just didn't come. Then I arrange for another to come and he blows me off. They didn't need the work. So I HAD TO do it myself. I did NOT want to that's for sure.
Love the bug net you made - like a screened in porch!
NIce work! anD GOOD VIDEO
Wow thanks John! You can show your students how NOT to do things with this video LOL!
@@LynnStone Ha! No, it's a great video,. Good to see what doesn't work too, like the plumbing strapping. Love it.
This video just makes me happy.
Aw thanks So much! We love getting up to MAINE so we can get to WORK!

I hope thats says something good!
Sorry. I watched dizzy
Hello. I’m sooooooo close to pulling the trigger on one of these. Do you still like it? Anything you’ve learned about it you’d like to share? Peace.
We DO still like it- very durable. I sort of wish I had gotten the 9x12 as I think it has more usable space, but it's an idle wish. Did you get one?
Lynn Stone, I went to order one, but they’re in the middle of moving to a new location. The only available tents are made in China series, which I don’t want. They’re going to let me know when the move is complete and production has started up again so that I can order the tent. You are the second person who said they wished they had gotten the bigger version (they’re a couple too). So I’m prolly going to order the bigger one, although I told them I wanted the 10x10. Thanks for the reply.
@@cioccbike -What a drag! I think the Made in USA tents are worth waiting for. I bet they have a waiting list you could get on. Are you thinking about the 9x12?
Lynn Stone I’m on the “waiting list”. They’ll send an email to folks on the list when the USA tents are available to order. They said 2-4 weeks. I’m sticking with the 10x10. My wife and I are backpackers. When we car camp, we’ve always slept in our tiny backpacking tent. 10x10 is going to be huge. I’m 6 feet and will be able to stand up in it! With cots, etc, it’s going to be serious glamping!
@@cioccbike I hope you love it as much as we do!
How fabulous! Soooo luxurious it's not even funny!!! 🌸🌼🌝
I think I would have considered this tent had they had a more robust marketing program. :/
Darn, I guess you missed the good news and bought something else, eh? I am doing my best here to spread the news for friends and campers. Enjoy what you have !
Electric blanket, clever
Nice tent thanks for the tour.
you're brave, i love it. Gonna try it myself, just on a smaller scale for a screen wall.
Let me know how it goes. I am still using the wood I burned and power washed for a variety of other projects, it has a great patina. Good luck!
Nice set up.. I prefer cots for the extra storage underneath..
Agreed! But we have yet to find a cot that allows for a full side-cuddle spoon. So we remain floor bound. I was just looking online for a nice two person cot with a nice double foam mattress. No luck. Yet.
I'm buying some land in Arizona and I'm going to live in a tent but i was looking for the right one ,THANKS to your video i found it
Yes you did, this tent would be perfect. If you can afford it get the biggest one they make. Best part is that this tent is the coolest tent in the sun. I would still put a tarp over it for permanent installation to protect it from the sun and give you an extra layer of shade. I love white tarps for that purpose.
Rocking look !!!!
Awesome!
You are awesome! Thanks for being badass.
The duck canvas material used for both the Springbar and Kodiak Canvas tents are identical, and both will mold if left wet for long periods or if they are stored and packed up wet. Regardless of manufacturer, proper care of canvas is imperative to a long mold free life of your tent! Also, ensure that you follow the manufacturer's directions and properly season your canvas tent or it WILL leak! These tents cost way too much money to half ass their care.
So True! My Kodiak got mouldy while set up. That surprised me.
If you see this- could you say what you mean by 'seasoning' the tent? Do you mean setting it up and spraying it fully with water on a dry day and letting it dry in the sun to tighten the pores?
@@LynnStoneyes that is “seasoning.” ❤
what power source are the lights on? thinking about this tent. thank you.
You can use battery powered string lights.
Hi! We used a small motorcycle battery to power the electric blanket and the lights are just battery operated. Enjoy!
If you are ignorant enough to DIY your concrete frost wall ( I already told you not to do this, right? You heard me say this yes? You are calling a concrete contractor right now aren't you?) then you would be able to take the form off the wall, power wash that sucker and throw it on top of the concrete and have your self a house. Shoot- build your concrete form with two by sixes and you are golden. No money wasted. We used the fire treated wood to side a shed. It is lovely! We attached the boarding boards with finish nails for easy reuse. Some of the form was power nailed but much was screwed, so we could re-use the forms also. Wood and supplies came to about $1800 for the form and we will be re-using all of it elsewhere so no loss there.
I also learned these simple things: in Maine the frost goes down 4 feet. A frost wall needs to be buried 4 feet under the surface to be a frost wall. It is desirable to do this for a two story building. One story can go on a thickened slab. A footer is 8 inches high and 16 inches wide. Ours contains two courses of rebar three inches up from the ground, this is code. The contractor that we did work with (yes of course we had help, we arent insane) said we used rebar to specs used in State jobs. I did this because I want to insure the building. So our work is built to the level of universal building code. Probably beyond that actually. Locally no one plants rebar every 4 feet in to the footer to tie the footer and the frost wall. No one ties rebar to that in the wall at every vertical foot either. No one sprays cold galvanizing spray paint on the rebar. (tests say its better than actual galvanizing). Code says 7 inch sill bolts every 4 feet with a bolt 12 inches or less from a sill end. We used 12 inch bolts because why not? Galvinized bolts can rot pressure treated wood so you can cold galvinize spray the part that goes in the concrete if you use ungalvanized. Or use galvy and put the threds thru the sill in a way that the galvy doesnt touch the wood (protect it). A PVC pipe would work to protect the PT from the galvy.
Hi just ordered my first Springbar tent... your video made me commit. I know I wont be sorry. I'd also love to see a video of that fantastic screened porch. Love the fabric also. Also would love to see a couple of photos of where you sewed the drop sides onto the tent =) Thanks again!!
I hope you are enjoying your tent? We still love ours and it is very durable. The way it holds heat on a cold night (or morning really) is really wonderful.
Sorry I dont have pics of the canopy. If you set up your tent it will make sense how to attach the awning for the spare room.
Thanks for making this video and allowing me a tour of your enviable setup. I'm on the verge of ordering this exact tent and it's great to have a user review. It took a while to convince my wife to move away from cheaper nylon tents and splurge for a quality canvas tent. I prefer to spend my money on high quality products that last a lifetime and feature well thought out designs, especially ones produced in USA (or Canada). I'm sure we will love it, I haven' t heard one poor review from anyone who purchased a springbar tent. They seem universally admired. I agree with your decision to stick to the original vs Chinese made knockoffs. Just save a little longer and go with the real deal folks, small price extra for US jobs and pride of ownership. And this from a Canadian! PS, love Joshua Tree, it's like nowhere else on earth. I've had the pleasure of visiting the park a number of times but I'm always thinking about the next time I can return. A very special place. Thanks again, cool video.
I did buy a Kodiak and the fabric was not as good- it got mold on it after a summer up AND tarped. Not saying that the Sprigbar would not have done the same- but I splurged and I an very glad I did. Made in America (or Canada)- is great!
Very cool Lynn. You and my wife Nancy have the same idea of what constitutes camping. Our tent is a 10x12 6 man, very similar to your design. love it!
+Parks McCants Be sure to get the big buddy or little buddy heater. It is key for those cold wake ups! We even turn it on to get up to use the restroom in the middle of the night. Comfy!
Thanks Lynn. Wishing you a happy new year.
I am planning to get this exact tent in a week. Do you still love it? How is it in water and how is the floor holding up? Thank you for a great review! I love the enclosure you sewed on. I sew, so you gave me some great ideas!
Wendy D I LOVE my tent! Every part of it is holding up great. I have been overly anal about pegging it too tight and torn the floor when I erect the bars but Springbar sent me a repair kit and it is easy to fix and obviouslly my bad. So dont over tighten when you peg it down. This is by far the best tent for car campig (or glamping). Dont scrimp! the Kodiak fabric is lower quality and you will pay for that choice in the long run. Let us know how you like it!
@@LynnStone I did buy this ⛺ tent, and I Love it. Thank you so much.
I love the awning! Wish you had a video of how you made it! If you ever make another, I would love if you made a video of the process. Thanks again!
I just put up the tent and took accurate measurments and just sewed to fit. No curves- very simple!
