We return to the off grid cabin in the woods after a long break. We stain the cedar wainscoting in the bathroom. I make outlet covers and an instrument panel for all of our digital displays. Consolidating ammeters, Victron BMV-712 and thermometers in one place. I stay overnight and complete the project in the morning. There are lots of cool tips for DC wiring in your off grid cabin.

Sarah and I enjoy a slow morning in the cabin. I finish the final wall of trim in our remote off grid wilderness cabin. The trim is walnut that I make in my shop from rough sawn lumber. I also mount a towel rack and a DC power switch panel. I take Beatrice for a walk as a rainstorm winds down. The difference in greenery is impressive and we see some turtles in a drainage ditch.

I hope things are going well for you and your wife -- I miss your videos.
You did a great job! I just bought a similar 4000 sqft old brick store and I'm going to start renovating it this fall!
Congrats, that’s awesome good luck with your rehab!
This place is a gem. Splendid.
Hey boss. Just wanna let you know. I really do miss your videos
Hey Mike thanks man, I am planning to get back to it I just don’t know when.
@50Acres ok thank you And I also miss your wife, giving you a hard time lol
I hope all is well?
I LIKE YOUR CABIN.🎉
Have you abandoned CZcams?
i had no idea that hackberry would be an excellent choice for fine woodworking! nice work.
Did you decide to just stop doing youtube videos? 8 months, no updates. I was wondering about your health.
I can't wait to see how the pound looks now
I can’t believe you posted today. It’s been so long, but I thought of your channel today and made a plan to search for you. Thanks for the update. Hope to see you again soon.
what are the wood shingles on the side of cabin called??
Definitely get a thumb! I recently purchased a Vio50 which did not come with a thumb. I bought a Tag thumb and a Tag 36" digging bucket to go along with the 12" Strickland bucket that came with it.
I used to enjoy watching Mike's videos every Saturday morning, but he hasn't been able to post videos. I will just say I hope you and the wife are doing well and maybe one day i can meet you in person. Take care.
HELLO !! is there anyone out there ??
Hello, we're here hope to be back soon.
@@50Acres 🥰
Hope y'all are doing well. Haven't seen any new vids in ... well since this one.
Hi, I've been finishing up our building in town hope to be back soon.
Why haven't you been posting?
Hey man! Loved watching your videos. Still patiently waiting to see some more. I hope you didn’t stop making them or working on your cabin and all is well with you.
Hi Jonathon I've been trying to wrap up some non cabin related projects and hope to get back to making videos soon. We are doing well thank you.
Hey my friend I was thinking about you I pray that all is well with you I wanted to encourage you to continue try to put out content and joy your calm demeanor and hard work I know at times it can be discouraging but just do it because you love it and everything else will work out fine be safe God bless
Hi Robert, I'm trying to return to the Channel soon. Ive been getting some non cabin projects finished up and stuff just keeps dragging out. Thank you for your kind words.
Where did he go! been 7 months? Hope all is ok!
We are good, just trying to get some non cabin projects finished and out of the way.
Hope all is well with you guys !!!
We are good, just trying to get some non cabin projects finished and out of the way.
No posts in months everything ok?
Hi Mark, I had to take a break to finish up our building renovation. I plan to get back to the channel soon.
Are you done making videos?
I took a break to finish the rehab of my building. I will be back soon.
@@50Acres oh good that was a highlight watching your videos.😃
Sorry bro. 7mo. no updates. I dropped. As a union carpenter from Boston I enjoyed your craftsmanship but completing projects, staying on track with regularity is when seperates a apprentice from a master. Good Luck.
All good, CZcams had to take a back seat while I finished my building rehab.
Where you been at? , just wondering if everything is OK?
Hi we are ok, I needed to get caught up on my shop building project. I will re start the channel soon.
Whats the biggest rock that you've been able to move with it?
I’ve moved some pretty huge rocks, not sure the weight. What do you want to do with it. This size is great for ditching, landscaping and trail building. For stuff like roads and basement foundations I’d go bigger.
Do you still have it? How many hours? Any issues with it?
I still have it, no issues at all, been great.
Does it have a float setting on the blade?
No I don’t have that option
Been missing your videos. Hope all is well with you! Love your craftsmanship
Thank you, I've been finishing up my shop building, I will be back soon.
Mike I missed waking up to your videos
I will be back soon. I just finished my apartment above the shop.
6 month last video😔
So sorry, finishing my shop building before returning to the channel
you quit... or die?
Finishing our shop building before returning to the channel
Sure miss the lack of content; it's been awhile.
I will be back soon I just finished the apartment above my shop
hay there he is,,, long time no see,,, hope every things good with ya,,hope to see more vids from ya
Hello we are well but busy. We are finishing our shop building before returning to the channel.
M, how are you?
I gave up on you and dropped my subscription. I really liked your content and I hope you are doing well, but this is not the way to grow a channel.
Are you doing OK partner? It’s been a while since we saw you post a video. Just was wondering if you’re doing OK
Hi we are ok, been taking care of some other stuff. Will be back this summer.
So are you all done with CZcams??????
Just taking care of some other stuff I will be back this summer.
The perfect man
Haven't seen you in a while. Hope all is good. I have an old teacher's school desk in excellent condition. If I can't sell it on fb, you can have it for an office desk in your wood shop it you want it. I live in Springfield.
Hi Scott thanks for checking in. I do plan to start up again this summer. Thank you for the offer on the desk but we received received one from my father in law.
I missed you !
I’ll be back this summer
Where have you been man? Need some cabin update vids
I’ve been trying to finish my building that houses my wood shop. I will be back this summer.
Are you OK? We miss your videos.
Im ok I’m trying to get my shop building final inspection done before I work ok the channel again.
Saya menyukai cabin yang memiliki kamar mandi, karena dimanapun berada, kebersihan tubuh itu yang utama detelah melakukan aktivitas😊
Kami setuju!
@@50Acres terima kasih, karna ada sebuah pepatah mengatakan bahwa kebersihan adalah awal dari kesehatan😁
I miss seeing your videos, anything planned for the near future?
Hi Jeffrey, actually yes, I just finished rehabbing the other apartment above my shop and will return to making videos in the next couple weeks.
" Beatrice, we can see your shadow” ... Does that mean that there's six more weeks of winter or early spring? I can never remember
I wouldn't be surprised!! The weather has been rough.
Safety third! First time here, I skipped though a lot of it but you're building a good looking cabin! Cheers.
Thanks 👍
amazing craftsmanship. Have not watched your vids in a whiile. AMAZING to see the progress and how much time, effort you have put in. Great video!
Thank you Liam, welcome back!
