Bro,I belong to north Pakistan from skardu Shigar valley, I want to discuss about making huts in my valley near bank side of Indus. May I have your email id pls for mail. Regards
You did a really good job👍🏽 Excellent 😁
It takes a lot of strength to tell the world your shortcomings. Big respect.
I love your spirit and this build. It's beautiful resourceful and very eco-friendly. Stay strong and smiling for all the trolls of life to see. 😃
You’re not building a house..... you’re making art...
Life..... keeping your mind in a good place.
Yes!
No one is perfect, and every last human being struggles with mental health issues at some point in their lives. It's NOTHING to be ashamed of, or to apologize for. All you can do is the best that you can, one day at a time. Thank you for sharing your struggles with us. You are an awesome person with a GOOD heart!! 💜
Super glad again that you decided to open up! There is so many struggling with anxiety because they think they are not making enough of themselves while comparing themselves to youtubers, bloggers and such who seemingly are perfect and are living a perfect life. But in reality, no one is perfect and everyone has their own struggles and it is okey to admit having them.
All the best to you!
Huub I have to ask you why you don't finish the roof? Because then you have no problem with the rain.
And the wood in the walls can also be painted with linseed oil. You will see how beautiful the color will get
I thought about it, but I felt like it is better to first finish all the walls. that's how they seem to do it in most house building. it's only april that is this weather
Thank you for your honesty. You're setting an example to others to be honest and reach out for help.
Hats off to you for speaking out about mental health. That takes courage and I really admire you for speaking out. Your little cabin is just beautiful and the view is spectacular. May you continue to be blessed.
Thank you so much for reviling a personal part of your self and your own struggles. I Hopefully the world will remember to be a little kinder . 🌿
Thank you for your candidness, remember only the best people care enough to get depressed/stressed/ effected about it... you have gone up in my estimations not down!
The light from outside is going to look awesome shining in when all the walls are built.
I think so too!!! can't wait!
Your journey may seem slow but in the end you will live in a work of art you created and I get to enjoy each day of progress. Watching you takes my mind off the cares of the world. Thankyou!
Thanks for opening up and sharing. I can only imagine how hard it can be to deal with the negative side of CZcams. Keep up the good work! And at least we now know where all the wine bottles come from ;), geintje!
I admire your stamina. Your strong of mind, strong in integrity, and strong of strength. You are an inspiration.
Can't wait for the finished Art.. You inspire people. God Bless You...
For additional strength, before putting the cement on the log/s you can add nails by nailing half of its size.
and on frame members too
I commend you for being open with your struggles. I consider that a strength 💪.
An everyday hero
Lifting up the human spirit is life-saving 🙌
Cheers
You are brave to expose yourself . Alcohol is addicting . Bless you for being so truthful and working so hard to improve yourself . It’s very impressive the way you are building your beautiful home . You are a kind and adventurous soul . Your videos are calming and educational .😎
Thank you for courageously sharing such a deeply personal struggle you’ve been through. What you’ve said was so full of kindness and empathy that I hope it does resonate out there.
I love the new project you have here and watching the progress with your log cabin. I think it’s going to look so beautiful amongst those trees and with those bottle walls! 😃 I enjoy sketching and drawing and I’d love to make a little sketch of your home when it’s finished.
I really hope you can resume your trip in December from Argentina to Alaska. Didn’t know you were going onto sailing afterwards!! That would be fantastic. I watched a lot of your previous videos of sailing and it was fantastic as I’ve always loved ships and boats.
Thanks again for sharing and I know that your videos and conversations and compassion with us viewers help keep many of us mentally content in these really challenging and difficult times. Good luck to you Huub!!
Just found your channel and subbed. The light in your heart shines through, We all have dark days and times in our lives. Its not about where the person has come from, its about what that person has become. good luck on your journey. Love what your doing, building and honesty about mental issues. i don my hat dear Sir
I appreciate your kind words a lot!
I'd say you have a lot of courage to share. You have a beautiful soul. So glad I found your channel!!!
Finding this solution to the problem of not finding straight trees to build a log cabin is truly amazing. You are so creative. I am sharing your video on social media with the hopes of bringing more viewers to your blog. As far as your problem with negative remarks, keep in mind that you have many more positive ones than negative and usually the negative remarks are posted by those who are jealous of your wonderful life. May God watch over and protect you Huub.
Thank you CB Lee for your nice comment!
@@HuubVlogs It was my pleasure Huub and the least I could do to pay you back for the joy you bring to so many of us.
Keep up the good work and give God the glory for your blessings. I really enjoy your videos. I love your cabin. Can’t wait to see it finished. Don’t give up.
You are so inspiring, and pleasant, you are so so clever, I am so amazed how hard you work, please dONOT listen to negative remarks, you are doing great things with your life, be proud of your self this Grandpa, is very very inspired by you, my love and blessing are on you, 🙏 🙌🙌🙌🙌😀👍
You are a great person Just take a day at a time. Your building this home is incredible.I do not think many people would take this task on. I always wait for your videos. Do not stop your challenge.
I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYONE COULD HAVE A NASTY WORD TO WRITE OR SAY ABOUT YOU...YOU ARE CREATIVE, INTELLIGENT, INDUSTRIOUS & COMPASSIONATE...YOU'RE DOING GREAT...KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK...VANCOUVER, CANADA...GOD BLESS YOU...;)
I love your videos. Thank you for sharing your personal struggles and just know that you are not alone. Don’t let other people’s comments get to you and if you feel drinking is affecting your life reach out for help. I was sober 5 years until covid hit and those were the best 5 years of my life. I relapsed when covid came out and now I’m getting sober again. I realized drinking didn’t fix any of my problems just made everything worse and now looking forward to a sober life. Much love man. Stay strong!
You are a great human being. No doubt about it. Discover the world and enjoy the life.
You are such an inspiration person .
In these days people don't bother to work hard but you did it dear well down and take care 🤠🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you for opening up. It take courage and strength to do so. Many of us have delt with dark times in our lives and we need to open up and talk to or get professional help.There is never shame in that. You need to accept that you are not going to please everyone and don't let words hurt you. Love one's self and good things show through the darkness.
I suppose that when someone is doing construction like yours it is sometimes one step forward and two steps back. LOL Very enjoyable video, very relaxing music. Thanks for sharing a little bit of your personal life.
You are an artist. I love the way you cut the logs and used the bottles I can’t wait to see the beautiful colored light they bring into the house. I’m rehabbing and I’m trying to figure out how to incorporate that idea into my house so how. Love your channel.
Compliments Huub, nobody should be alone!
:)
Slow is good ~ allows for more attention to detail and better results. Professionals are faster, but I haven't seen any that do better work than you. This cabin you are building is a work of art, and while I look forward to seeing it completed, I hope you take your time in making it just the way you want.
Really progressing nicely! fantastic work! From finally a bit sunny but still locked down Ireland! ☘️☮️🤘🏽🤠👍🏽☮️☘️
You are brilliant there is always someone out there to try and destroy good , but there are more of us who appreciate people like you. I’m sorry for your pain. Push through it you have greatness in you.
Hi hub bro,, i am a big fan of your accent 😀and now your honesty,,specially when you visited my country Pakistan , i am from northern pakistan swat,,May God bless you and show you the right path always👍
I discovered your channel when I watched the “6 month build” video and it was FASCINATING from start to finish! My intrigue lead me to question what kind of person would take-on such an ambitious endeavor? Only someone who is adventurous with a huge portion of determination, one who “thinks out of the box”, and who is in the position of making it all happen-I admire that. Those attributes were also possessed by my son who is now deceased. As I did with him, I realized you have an eye for art as I watched your imaginative skills unfold into the beautiful walls of your cabin. One would be inclined to think 2:51:43 would be lengthy enough to move on to another subject, but my curiosity led me to pursue the outcome and that chase lead me to this video. The expression of your vulnerability will make you strong among those who
truly care-for regardless of possessing resource and opportunity, you have a beautiful soul-and that's something money can't buy. A 👍and subscribed forevermore. ❤
PS. QUESTION: As you layered the walls, you consistently created a crevice of concrete, but I am curious. Was it Sawdust you put in the middle? If so, why?
sawdust is a insulator. the space creates a thermal break.
so you have an insulator in the thermal break
Concrete is very base. It you get a concrete burn treat it with an acid, such as vinegar. It will neutralize the burn. Just a little FYI from a retired nurse in 🇺🇸
Wow so nice the light thro the bottles will be beautiful
hey Huub, I totally feel your words, you are not alone either 💚
Thanks Andrea!
Awesome build! Natural building rules!
It's looking AWESOME, you're doing an great job, lots of love and prayers to you, from Indiana, USA
Gorgeous. We are stronger than we know.
Great job. Very inspiring!! Can´t wait to do my own here in south america. Thanks for sharing the skills, and your positive thoughts.
Thank you for your honesty that was very brave of you, I love what your doing it look amazing .
You're doing a great job, and brave of you to talk about your not so good periods of life. Keep your goals in mind and look forward. Take care. Regards Rickard from Sweden 🇸🇪
Looking so beautiful. Your doing wonderful work 😊 Very artistic
shou sugi ban is a particularly striking method of preserving wood by charring it with fire. Traditionally, this practice is used with Japanese cedar in order to weatherproof it. The wood is burned until the surface is charred, and then coated with natural
look into burning the outside logs so they get 1/4" to 3/8" char on their ends
a deep burn resulting in pest, rot, and fire resistant as well as becoming a natural water repellent and sun shield.
Thanks for sharing - I spent years drinking my problems away, it's very common I guess. I wish I had taken my life back sooner in hindsight
Good progress there - it's looking better and better.
Your presentation is free-flowing and sincere.
The time it takes is irrelevant - there's more than enough content to hold an audience.
👍
Hey Bruce! Thank you! I appreciate it :)
its okay and good to open up. i have been thinking of talking to a therapist recently. thank you for sharing, no disappointment here! i love the video content!
The place is looking amazing! Thanks for sharing your journey and insight) Keep moving! Cheers mate!)
What you are building is really quite remarkable, great use of material as well as pleasing to the eye. For those whom this may not be their style so be it , everyone should at the very least acknowledge the tremendous amount of work and personality you are putting into it. I for one think it’s an amazing structure. Stay with it your closer and closer every day.
stay healthy, stay strong, your art is unique 👌
Just to say really great project. I like it a lot.
Thanks for sharing. Just discovered your site and love everything about it. Keep smiling you’re reaching people you don’t even know.
Thank you so much Sherry!
I think your taking that moment to be real and sincere speaking down to earth about yourself and relating to your viewers friendly open humble and kind is good for you and your viewers. Thank You for sharing your truth about your own struggles emotionally and mentally..it's supportive I'm helping others and I think in helping yourself too.
One thing to mention is to encourage professional help too this can help people to be stronger and get to a better place.. Counseling Group therapy can heal and give tools to use life long
You are amazing. What an artist too.
Cant wait to see how it looks
Great job ! Keep up the good work ! Looking good !
Very different and unique. Nice work. Thanks for sharing about mental health. Much love from Blue River BC. Jesus loves you.
Hi hub i love what you doing i always can't wait to see the next video it's looking beautiful keep the good work going i am so happy that you open up about you i will pray 🙏 for you take care 🙂
I’ve just subscribed to your channel and I love it your talented good with your hands and always do an awesome job 💕 to talk about mental health takes a lot of time to decide wether you want to share with strangers I take my hat off to you keep doing the wonderful things your doin and don’t forget you make more of a difference in someone’s life spreading awareness for mental health as well as talking about your own there’s always someone listening 😉🙂🙂
How about putting a faux cordwood layer on the wall that you are trying to coverup? Cut 1 inch thick log ends and glue them to the wall and fill in with cement. Then the wall would look like your cabin.
bless you for sharing about mental health.
It looks gorgeous!
Man that is Beautiful work. Very inspirational to watch.
Fuerza Huub ! Muy valiente de abrirte y hablar sobre tu problema.
Thanks for sharing!
When I get cement or lime on my body, after washing the residue off, I apply petroleum jelly which stops the chemical reaction.
Paz y tranquilidad en tu vida. Un abrazo fuerte departe de una vieja ,(64) Cubana-Americana en Miami.
Hope your van is in good shape waiting for you btw :) I found the channel simply by looking for UAZ videos
Great job!
Absolutely amazing job 👍👍👍. Guess what, now my wife wants us to build a cord wood house after we finish our cabin. Thanks for the inspiration . Now I am wondering when I'll have time to relax. 🤔🏴☠️💰
haha it will take some time!!
LOOKING GOOD.
For the corners ,split a long log in 4 long pieces,and fit one piece in each angle...
you are doing a great job!
"Much more difficult THAN I expected'. I offer this to you with love, as a native English-speaking ESL/English language and Literature teacher. I love watching your channel, as an aspiring cordwood builder (this has been in the plans for a couple of years)
You r not lonely ok... 👍👍Good job...
Mooi verwoord Huub👍👍
Great project.
Hey Huub, I like your house and yuor job and your attitude toward live, good luck.....
OMG it is so beautiful!
Wow you did a nice job congrats
That's really looking great
Thanks Raymond!
Nice to hear you open up, although I haven't lived the van life I am living in my 5th country and 10th city and also have bipolar disorder. For sure these lives of experiencing the world rather than staying in 1 place can be socially isolating and it feels like we sacrifice comfort and relationships to experience this, it can also be addictive and further socially isolate us but you're living a wonderful life. Try and enjoy it and maintain your relationships even if your friends and family may be in many different locations don't let your loved ones drift away or get comfortable being alone.
Keep up the good work.
Thank you for your kind words!
Bravo Bravo Bravo 👏👏👏
looking good man well done
Good job work u have skills
Het wordt prachtig Huub.👍
Muito bom! Very good!
Hi there we like your videos very much and it is inspiring the way you build we also are building with earth in bags and rock and also will use strawbail with adobe render and most off the wood and roofing is al recycled even the window's. So do not let the trolls get under your skin you do watt you think is the best for you thanks for sharing part of your dreams and life with us we enjoy it very very much.
Only have a few drinks when you are happy and not alone. You are fine. If possible, can you block the stupid comments? Love your work
Just keep busy, that's how I keep sane. An idle mind is the workshop of the devil, even a sane man goes crazy when he keeps his mind idle. So keep moving, keep busy.
Enjoyed the show
