Sarah and I take a trip to the cabin. We spend some time decorating the cabin (tiny house) and cleaning and organizing it. I work on wiring in 3 digital thermometers so I can know if the crawl space is in danger of freezing. As night falls Sarah and I have dinner and then listen to the Real Crime podcast on Audible. The next day we have breakfast and take Beatrice our dog fort a walk. I finish insulating the crawl space and then test out the computer fan I wired to a relay and thermostat before leaving for home.

Oh I absolutely LOVE your candle centerpiece: Rustic yet elegant. Did you you make it or purchase it?.
Hi Henry, than you so much we bought it from a little shop in our hometown of Dayton Ohio called 1880 candle co www.1880candleco.com
@@50Acres cool. How long is the drive to the cabin from your home? We’re sorting out something in the way of off-grid property at our end and wondering how often we’ll get there.
@@garya3056 My drive is a bit long for my liking. IMO you'll get maximum use under 2 hour drive, with under 1 hour being really ideal if possible.
@@50Acres ok thx. Makes sense... and then there’s the hauling of our power tools back and forth. 😳
Nice cabin 👌👍
As a fellow Daytonian, I really like how you guys support local business, especially given the trying times they have had to endure. New sub, ironically heard about you guys from Jay and Jen's channel. Been binge watching your content, love the craftsmanship and attention to detail... not only on your cabin but your videography and editing. Great work looking forward to more!
Hi Eric, great to hear from a fellow Daytonian! Welcome to the channel. Jay has been out to my cabin, he helped me install my wood stove. Hope you continue to enjoy the channel.
I enjoy your videos, would watch with "premiere" notice or not. Hope it gets you some additional subscribers in the long run, keep the videos coming. I'm likely not alone saying your content, delivery and production is terrific.
Yea, seems premiers annoy people, I had no idea, I have never done one and figured I would give it a try. I'll keep making videos, the only issue I need to decide in the future is how often I come out with them. Its hard for me to get the quality I want on a weekly schedule.
Great video! I don’t know why CZcams hasn’t recommended your channel to me until now, but I’m so glad that I found it! Your humility and relaxed transparency is really appealing. It’s awesome that you don’t do the clickbait garbage. Stick with integrity regardless of the number of subscribers. It matters way more. I recommended a friend to this channel; you remind me of him and I think he would enjoy this a lot. I’ve been catching up on 4 years of videos! Thanks again!
Hello Tom, welcome to my channel, I'm glad your enjoying the videos, I'm glad CZcams recommended it to you!
Your cabin is looking really nice 👍 thanks for posting 🙂
Hey thanks Mike, can't wait for your next video!
Nice cabin would like to see couples work together
I really enjoy watching these cabin builds and this is probably my favourite for a variety of reasons (skill, attention to detail, etc) but in particular is it looks like it will be comfortable to stay in with no need to rough it.
Thank you Bill!
I think it's beautiful watching the snow fall outside. Beatrice is a great dog, she'll learn, with patience and training. Your doing a great job on the cabin, your a good husband and provider.
Yes she is! Thank you so much!
Great video as always. And Beatrice is a awesome pup.
Thanks she is a sweetheart!
Add heat tape and use it when you are at the cabin. With the fan and heat tape you can easily have hot and cold running water no matter how cold it gets. Have a cottage on Lake Winni in NH. BUILT A insulated box around all my plumbing, use heat tape and a fan to blow heated air from cottage while being used. Never frozen pipes and gets below zero. Drain system when leave. We have it set up so it’s very easy to use. GOOD LUCK GUYS‼️👍👍. Vinny 🇺🇸
Thanks Vinny! System seems to be working so far but it's only got down to about 20 degrees at night so we will need a better test for it.
I had the same recall problem with my brittany bird dog. I took her back to the breeder who is a bird dog trainer and had her trained to an electric collar when she was 15 months old. He trained her to recall, to yoo (get ahead of me) and to heal (very loose heal). That training set her FREE, FREE, FREE! I take her to a local park to run like the wind and hunt to her hearts content 3 or 4 times a week. Her recall is bomb proof from a football field away. She will be 11yrs old in August and still runs like the wind. I think she is aging so well because she is allowed to run freely often and able to keep her muscles and joints stretched out. I wouldn't attempt to train her myself with an electric collar because done incorrectly, it is torture. My dog is so high energy she just can't walk on a leash and she can only "heal" for short distances like crossing a street or getting around other dogs. I do have to "pop" her occasionally (~ 1/2 times every few weeks) if I have to say a command twice (healing is her hardest thing). The collar and training was very expensive (~$1000) but it was so worth it for my dog.
Oh wow, that's something we can consider, she can do almost all commands but only around 60% success rate and is just very easily distracted.
I enjoy you and Sarah together -- warms my heart to see you both -- live a long happy life together -- best of everything -- just one more suggestion -- install back stairs and railing and front railing -- one slip trip or fall -- and you'll be wishing you had -- include the shower. step and get some ice melt for the same reason -- you have done well. and Thanks PS just want the safest for you three.
Thank you Ron, those stairs and a railing are a high priority for us!
Yes , closed cell spray foam ! It makes vapor barrier, stops smallest leaks, and best keeps bugs and rodents away. As for water pipes dig down past frost line and build your rigid foam box down to that level, earth will heat the box and keep lines free.
That's the plan! We'll see about digging into the ground, might not be needed in our mild climate!
Always nice to see your videos come out. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love you work, attention to detail, the love and time you spend on everything. Id never be able to do that, i'd make things the right way just faster! I was brought up to achieve results as quckly as possible so slowing down to show attention to detail is like the most difficult thing for me. I also love Boss of the Swamp been watching him for a few years now. Happy to see the ladies came with you this time. Waiting excitedly for the next installment of you cabin build. Take your time building I enjoy your journey! Much love from So.Cal.💟
It’s looking so nice. I can’t wait for a new video to drop each week. I think we all would like to see more shingle videos though🤣.
haha! probably will film it as a time-lapse and put the shingles into videos that are about other stuff.
Cute candle! Love your cabin in the woods. Nice that you are making the pond larger next summer. Will be stunning.
Skirting the whole cabin will greatly help too . Keep up the great work.
Yes it will
I'm so excited!
Great video Mike. You found lots of beauty surrounding ya, thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks for watching guys!
Always glad to see you guys !
Thanks!
Sarah quit rippin on Mike, the shingles will get done! That place is unbelievable, the true craftsmanship and heart equity is bar none!!!👊🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
ah she keeps me going!
Mike better stay away from the singles 😘😯😡
I don’t think Sarah wants Mike to do any singles. 😜
👍
DONT you love how SOMEONE does less than 10% of the WORK tells you what you SHOULD have done by NOW.
I'm GLAD to be FREE of those people in my life !!!! Even jokingly is not enjoyable.
Thanks for the Videos. Always enjoy them ! Your hard work ethic is commendable
Always nice to see whole family making place nice, esp help with doggie girl helping. ❤️
Thanks Valerie
Just an awesome job with the cabin and very well thought out , great workmanship , what a tranquil and peaceful place you and Sara have built also love the dog she's good girl ,
Thank you very much!
I have a seasonal cabin that I hope to use more throughout the year when I retire. So inspiring to watch you guys get to work on yours - helps me plan my next steps
Nice! Hope your retirement comes soon and you enjoy it!
Great story/video. Keep up the work.
Thanks, will do!
Excellent video! Thank you for sharing! Awesome job!
Thanks for watching!
So love your Cabin. Very rustic and homey, love the special touches that make it so quaint. Enjoy!
Thanks so much!
Snow! From an Australian perspective, that’s just amazing. How cozy and lovely to be there. The cabin looks really fantastic. Well done.
It sure makes for a pretty scene. Thank you
Excellent video! The double "you're #1" sign was hilarious! Sarah, is awesome!
Congrats on 60K subscribers!!!!!
Thank you!
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS video
Good job ! I think you will need to fully enclose the crawl space insulate around with R19 insulation and build windows /vents that you can open in summer time to avoid mold growth and close them in the winter to keep the warmth and avoid the freezing of your pipes . 25 years ago I did the same to my home in Vermont where as of right now the temperature outside is -10f and the temperature in the crawl space is constant 42f due the geothermal nature of the bare ground. and not only it is -10f for one day but the temperatures didn't go above freezing since January 3rd with many days of below zero f (-18C) and still going with no end in sight of the freeze onslaught . Insulate! insulate! insulate! and seal any gaps of cold air and let mother nature work for you for free!!!!
Good luck
Thanks John, in the future I am planning to spray foam the entire underside of the cabin with a kit.
Saludos para los tres. Me alegro que disfrutéis de ese rinconcito tan hermoso que tenéis.
¡Gracias!
So relaxing and enjoyable. I'm sure you guys hated to pack up for home. It's great though, to have a place to sneak away to. I enjoy seeing you both enjoy the Cabin. Thanks for sharing.
Nice work Mike! I love these dc projects you do, very interesting to me. Stay safe!
Thanks, you too!
Great video Mike and Sarah. Really enjoy your channel.
Love your channel! Beautiful cabin and land!
Thanks so much!

@@50Acres Aww YOU BOTH STAY HEALTHY AND SAFE
What a difference a month makes. We're all excited on Dec 24th to have snow, but by the end of January it's unwanted. Love your videos and your place is really progressing with lovely craftsmanship.
Wow you two are killing it!
Thanks Chris!
Thanks for sharing a very informative and fun video 📹!! 😊👍💕💕💕
Well done!
Look at you with more than 60K subscribers already!! Great videos! Thanks for the upload!
I can't believe it myself!
Nice!! Friday night, footed pajamas, popcorn, fire in fireplace, 50 Acres and a cabin!!
Sounds fun!
Another fine video....and your cabin is some darn fine work!
Thank you very much!
Hi guys just love your cabin on 50 acres just love all the things you do around the place even like little experiments keep up the good work Cliff from Queensland Australia
Thanks Cliff! Will do!
Gawd I love those windows!!! I am so jealous of them.
That was great! Thanks
Glad you liked it!
awsome stuff thanks
You bet!
New subscriber here. I am floored by the beautiful craftsmanship of your cabin. What a treasure. And love how the Mrs makes it so homey.
Welcome aboard! Thank you so much!
Wow, it's been so long since I checked in! Place looks great! Outstanding work 👍
Great video and a beautiful cabin.
Thank you very much!
Looking good!
Thanks!
Really nice you followed thru with your dreams of a cavin in the woods
.
Cabin
I'm originally from Dayton, Ohio but lived downtown. I moved to Florida in 1982. My family live in West Alexandria, in Preble County..The part of Central Florida that I live is very hilly like the Miami Valley. Beautiful!
Nice, I have not spent much time in the hilly part of Florida.
Looking good- glad you both are getting some cabin time to enjoy it! 👍
Thanks 👍 We had a great time!
@@50Acres great!
Mike you are doing a great job, no matter what Sarah says! keep up the good work. Cheers from Argentina. Fede
Thank You
You're welcome
Read your "shingles" comment on the Canadian Castaway channel, and chuckled! Sara's dig today, has added to the chuckle. Them shingles could be the death of you, but you'll sure appreciate them once the job is done! Hang in there, really enjoy your journey, the build, and all the related content you produce.
Haha I forget what I wrote but I bet it was something nasty about shingles!
Beautiful puppy
Enjoying the fruits of your labor. Nice relaxing by a woo burning stove. So glad to see the whole family at the cabin. Get those cabinet doors on!!!!!
Don't feel bad about ads. I expect them. Not going anywhere. Your work is so beautiful!
Thanks Leah
Watching the progress you and your family make in each video is a highlight of my weekend. It is great to sit down with a cup or three of coffee and watch 50 Acres and a Cabin. Or a Cabin and 50 Acres. I think it switched a while back. Anyway, love your videos!
I'm so glad! Have a great weekend! Yea we switched it a while back.
Have been enjoying the videos 👍
Glad to hear it
So much mud here as well this winter!
Tell me about it!
Enjoyed the show
Sarah with the two finger flip off,truly made me laugh out loud and am now a subscriber. loved that, my kind of people.
lol, that's how she acts when it's just me and her...
Tip on tea-making: heat the mugs up by pouring boiling water in them and let them stand for a minute first! Then empty them and make your tea. The same thing goes for teapots- heat them first.
Ah yes that is a very good tip. I sometimes do that when I am not lazy!
Nothing more than pretty than a nice , honest vid. like this.
Keep it coming guys !
More power !
Ciao frm Turin !
Thank you! Will do!
Just discovered you. I have just come off your video where you were installing a new woodstove. I think its clear that I'm here to stay. Thanks for the great, quality content.
Welcome aboard! I hope you enjoy the videos.
That's a really cool cabin well done guys
Thanks!
One of the sweetest episodes.
love dateline/48hrs mystery, and when you put those gloves on all's i could think about was bernie!..lol
Like your idea for a Command Center. Can't wait to see it come together!
Thanks, the hard part will be fitting all the oddball size instruments into a a custom panel frame.
Your cabin inspired me. I will make the same one here in Brazil. Thanks for shared with us. :)
Wow, thank you good luck and have fun!!
@@50Acres 😊 thanks!
I LOVE seeing your progress on the cabin. I want to suggest something for when you're there sleeping and want to stay warmer. You can get online and do a search for the ORIGINAL Vellux blankets and get 2 of them. Put one under you as if it were a sheet, and one directly over you. They somehow reflect your body heat and will keep you toasty in cold weather. I have an old farm house without central heat and in my bedroom in the winter it gets really cold so I use them every winter. And in the spring, when it's no longer needed I take out the one from under me and only use the one on top of me with a quilt, then in the summer all I use is the 1 Vellux blanket on top. They're very light weight, and you'll love them. You can get them on walmart.com and thru Macy's website as well. Just make sure you get the ORIGINAL Vellux blankets, because there are others that are not reflective of body heat like the original ones are. Good luck and thanks for taking us along on your cabin visit.
Nice thanks for the heads up! Sounds like a good solution
And what a cozy and beautiful home, enjoy it guy's, ,it will all fall in place.
Thank you! We will!
I love this content! Epic!
Thank you!
I hope you finish the shingles soon, so we all can celebrate it with you and Sarah😊. Coming along nicely.
I hope so too! Thanks!
So nice to see you enjoying our national 🇬🇧 drink and good old Yorkshire tea too!
mike, you are getting there, slowly but surely. the boss did good too, so pats on the back. seal the holes with form it all helps. but I had too use a small space heater in Coudersport pa. back in the day. it ran on bottled gas. about fifteen a month. but that was before there was to much solar. they have them now that they use less then 60 watts that these days. you'd only need a forty watt bulb too heat that space. but there are even support channels that help with ideas, too heat that kind of space.
Slowly but surely. I did think about a little heater under there when needed, we'll see how this works.
BEAUTIFUL job on those floor tiles! nice work. Camarillo Grammy
This is like when I was a kid. Saturday morning cartoons but now I watch your videos. Always look forward to them.
Nice! Glad to hear that
Ontario Lakeside sent me your way. Great channel! I look forward to going through your back catalog.
Hi Greg, thanks for checking us out!
Very interesting project to protect the plumbing. Great job.
Thanks Mike
Glad to see you and Sarah. You two make it feel like I’m sitting there talking with you two. Did you make the candle bowl and heart vase stand? I like. Tk u for your videos so enjoy them. Stay warm and hope to watch you next week
Hello Joy, we are glad to hear that. We got the Candle Bowl from a little shop in our hometown, I have a link for it in the description. The heart planter was a gift we are not sure where it came from.
Cabin looks great. There were some oops along the build but you were honest, Great work! Sarah is very pretty!
Thank you! Oh yea always some mistakes. Thanks
Insullating crawl space and heating the crawl space with the ambient from the cabin is the smart way to go
Thanks, it really works. People were skeptical but the temperature sensors tell the truth.
My dad put a heavy plastic cover on cold surface of crawl space. Big difference.
The little touches add so much! Yes, just keeping it above freezing should do it. Spray foaming the rest of the floor sounds smart.
Thanks liz!
Soft furnishings! Putting warm lined drapes at the windows & especially the exterior doors will make a huge difference to the temperature inside your cabin..my preference would be vintage wool blankets for a rustic feel. In France we also have exterior shutters even on our double glazed windows.
Oh yes that will be nice! Hopefully in the future!
Great work, you gotta do what you have to do to stop the freezing. BTW Sarah is very patient with the time you have to spend filming.
Thanks Heather, yes she really is!
Sarah With your touch everything looks so pretty
Thank you!
Nothing smarter than a teaser! Plus this all helps the #'s and algorithms! Great picture also!
We'll see how this works!
@@50Acres smart
Looking homey!!
G'day from downunder again.
Hey Mike in regards to the bed, could you make a frame and cantilever it over the edge. Obviously you'd make it to support a queen mattress?
Good to see Sarah and Beatrice in the video again too. Keep up the good work champion
Hey Brett, yea we could do that, thank you!
That's how our queen bed is in our rv
...lookin' great, keep safe and enjoy...
Thanks Bob!
Your cabin is so beautiful. I so enjoy watching your videos. Do you both ever plan on moving to the cabin?
Thanks Shelby, we do hope to move there whenever my wife can stop working
Awesome!
Thanks!
Your cabin is absolutely beautiful.
Thank you!
Happy for another vid. No way I was getting up, chores done by 7am ready to watch tho sry.
Catching a few hours late. Love all your hard work. Looking great however I wanna see a front porch ready for the deer hunters by nxt fall. 😁
Looking over 2 the pond will be awesome scenery!
😁🐒😁
All good Curtis, glad you liked it. I want the front porch done soon also!
