When I was watching your main house renovation video I was thinking that your Dad was watching down on you with great pride. Then in this video you confirmed that he was indeed proud of your work. Having gotten to work along side my father for a few years before he passed, I'd like to think he would be as proud of me as your father would be of you. Keep up the great work and I'll be along side enjoying your great content. Thank you.
Thanks David ❤
I would love to see a recap from the main house. Greetings from Sweden. Glad that I found your channel!
Thanks!
RIP dad. 💜 I'm glad to hear you've got good memories of him and that he let you know how proud he was.
Thanks bro
Good lord, what a massive amount of work. But the finished product is amazing. You are too humble for a master craftsman.
sometimes :D
Amazing job Andris. I love the variety of things you do. Made me tear up when you mentioned your Dad, made me think of my own Dad. You are an inspiration my friend. -Craig
Main house? Yes, yes and yes!!!
Yes! Do a recap tour on main house
Thanks for sharing that project. Yes, please do the video on the main house.
Will do. Thanks4watching
Beautiful restoration on the sauna! It has a lot of history behind it. It is nice that you had ties with it when you were a child. You shared many memories with your father as you restored this place & it was very touching to hear that he was proud of you. You have earned that trust. You worked hard on this & it shows! Thank you for sharing your story with your viewers.
Thank you for watching and the kind comment 👍❤
The Monier roof tile is produced very close to where i live in Norway. As a funfact; Sand that is used to produce the Monier roof tiles are from the same area and was also used to build the bridge from Denmark to Sweden. To get the sand out from the area they actually lowered almost the entire area and a lot of houses and farms as much as 30 meters down!
I am proud on your behalf for all the work you do, and i am extremely happy for you that your beloved father got the chance to tell you how proud he was of you before he passed away ❤
Thanks for sharing this. Great comment
Another amazing job.
Thanks for sharing that detail about your dad; such a blessing to have such fond, happy memories. Sorry for your loss.
What a big job - especially without heavy equipment - good you had a lot of help.
This one was hard yes getting them logs up there required my dad to help me out
Thumbs up for the water shut-off valve! :)
:D
This is an amazing team effort, hard work, and willingness👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍.
Thank you so much 😀
Your amazing my man love your videos keep it up
Lovely building Ants, it is great that you restored the "old girl" 👍👍👍
Use it almost everyday 👍
Hey Andris! It's great that you kept this sauna in memory of your Dad! I think He would be satisfied with the result. :)
Yeah, he's favorite place was the sauna
Not many fathers have a son as knowledgeable and hard working as you are. I am not surprised that he was proud of you 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
think he was
I wish my two sons were more like you Ant. My three girls and my two eldest grandsons are real grafters. I'm proud of all my children, grandchildren and great grandchildren but you always have that special connection to one and that is my second youngest grandson. Nothing has ever come easy for him and he has had some minor mental/psychological issues but he never gives up. He wanted to start his own business as he finds working for others has no motivation. So I decided to back him in any way I could from financially to physically. He now owns his own Fire and Security Alarm business and through dedication and bloody hard work he's making a success of it. He picked up his first big contract last week which guarantees a full years income at a time whilst taking only half his time allowing him the time for new installs. I am so proud of him and he rewards me with such love even though we live 150 miles apart.
Your mistake with the roof is as you now realise, the lack of cross airflow ventilation. Modern building regulations require the fitting of ventilation tiles and or ridge vents. You also need a diagonal cross brace on each pitch to stabilise the roof structure; even more important on your roof as you have far exceeded the maximum centres of the rafters. I always set rafters and floor joists at 600mm centres. That coincides with most sheet material sizes as well. Lovely building and a real credit to your efforts.
*- Wonderful review of this special gift bring well deserved pride to your father, Andris.*
*- To stop a stove or fireplace from smoking, the general rules go something like this:*
* Use shredded paper of super thin kindling to flash heat the chimney ceramics or pipe.*
* Make sure the chimney or stove pipe is high enough above the roof line so breeze can provide sufficient drafting {suction/vacuum} on the stove/fireplace.*
* **_Provide Direct Air_** pipe/ducting to the stove/fireplace from outside so a heat-tight, closed door room or house is not starving the fire for air.*
All true yes.
You have a beautiful mother.
She's the most important person in the world to me!
Tusen takk for god underholdning. 👍🤗👍
what a beautifully restored sauna, you can certainly be proud of it
tervitused Hollandist
Bedankt en welkcom!
Beautifully restored, you are a young genius. Impressive. UK.
What I read, is that green logs only need to settle and therefore in Windows and doors you leave about a 2 -3 cm gap, so when the wood dries it expanded. Maybe it also holds on old wood.
YES! Love to see a recap video of the main house also. Thanks
It was Nice Your Dad got to enjoy it . And told you how He felt.
AJ fram USA East Texas
Yup i think so too
I love to watch ALL of your videos Andris . Your sense of humour is great and the work you do is really impressive . I rewatch a lot of your videos too , and I love to take a sauna myself , very well done
Awesome, thank you!
Great job, hello from Portland Oregon, United States.
Hello 😌 thanks for watching 👍
Lumist ja mõnusat jõulu-aega sulle sinna!!!
Вы все большие молодцы, огромный объем работ, еще и без спец.техники, очень впечатляет. Очень уютная сауна получилась по итогу, очень мило, что вы сохранили части прошлой сауны, даже по фото чувствуется обаяние старины.
Большое тебе спасибо! я люблю сохранять как можно больше. К тому же у меня не так много денег, поэтому о покупке новых вещей не может быть и речи! ха-ха
The result looks extremely well.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Very cool restoration! I think I'd enjoy a soothing sauna after a hard day of work. :-)
You and me both!
My neighbour ran a butcher’s shop and cured and smoked his own hams and bacon. Loved the smell of the smoker and you can’t beat the taste of real smoked bacon! Nice video, Jason.
What a lovely renovation!
When you were telling the story about your father it really brought some memories back . My father was a great dad but he was very reserved about his feelings. My dad loved me and he showed it all of my life but he just couldn't let his true feelings out and he never told me how much he loved me. He was dying of cancer and I went to be with him his last two days on 3 different occasions My father called me to his bedside gave me a hug and told me how much he loved me ,just before he died he told me how proud he was of me and said how sorry he was for not telling me how much he loved me and how proud he was to have me for his son. I was 64 years old and my father was 92. I will always remember an cherish those moments I had with my dad an now I tell my three grown daughters every time I see them or talk to them on the phone how much I love them and how proud I am of them.
Thankyou for sharing that moment you had with your father.
Thank you for sharing ❤
I am happy that you take care of the old stuff, if is not 100 % crap, reuse it 🙂
:)
Meeldiv Teid uuesti näha! Hea töö. Jatkuks jõdu ja raha.
Tänan!
great work Ant. Found this video after I watched the house re-build. Love your enthusiasm for restoring old buildings ! Cheers from the UK!
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks Tom
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼……………………for someone who “ didn’t know what he was doing “ I think you did a great job! You make a video of the house restoration, I’ll watch it!
The thing to swat yourself while in the sauna is called a birch whisk. Made from Birch twigs...tied into a bundle and dried.
Birch whisk! I know it was birch something but whisk? Lol i never would have guessed that. Thanks and happy holidays
You made a lovely job of your sauna. I hope you enjoy its use for years to come.
Thanks, its great i use it every other day (almost)
I'd love to see a recap video about your main house, where you live is so different/ somewhat different to Tasmania. Best wishes for Christmas to you and your family.
Thanks. Yes it seems that way. Merry xmas to you and your family as well!
Of course we want to see a video of the main house. Really enjoyed this one and all the others you have made. I am very glad you preserved the old Sauna. It looks great. Makes me wish I could come and enjoy it. I also wish I could help you with your projects. I can see why your father is proud of you. You are very talented, hard working, and take the time to think things out and learn how to do it. Never be afraid to ask for help or offer it when others ask, as well. You may already know this I am not sure....once or twice a year (depending on how often you use the sauna) you need to clean your chimney. Especially if you burn a lot of pine or soft woods with sap. No matter how dry pine wood is it contains sap or rosin. Creosote build up is what causes most chimney fires if it is not cleaned out every so often. I know it's very hard to climb on that roof and run a chimney brush down it, but believe me it needs to be done.
I, too, would enjoy a recap.
i did that, its on my channel.
Nice job with the sauna and allso the video itself...would like to see recap of the main house too ;)
Andris such a good video, even though you only had still pictures, it was still amazing to watch your endeavours in re-building the sauna. I have just recently found your channel and I am enjoying it enormously. Please keep up the brilliant work and videos.
Thanks Kevin i will try hard to not dissapoint! Take care!
Great job, well done! 👍🏾😎 I like that u reuse the old material. Has a nice patina. 🙂
very good work here and it is a very good legacy that you will leave
Wow on the sauna video Andris , That was a massive workload for you all without any heavy machinery,,,,I thought i'd seen all of your vids but evidently not, .Hoping there are more lurking somewhere, i'm am going to search every place .Just keep doing what you are doing ,And you narrative of the whole job / project was faultless and utterly professional, thank you,, Pamela,, 💐💖
😇
Great job on the sauna house restoration! Interesting how much you guys love the sauna, that you have an entire separate house for it. I think in the US, the hot tub (aka spa) is more popular than the sauna. Cheers!
Just catching up on past films Ants, think you dad would be proud with everything you've done an are doing, think he may also be smiling when you're fixing Supermuns ride on mower and building stuff for your nieces as well. Looks like he passed on some good family values. 👍
thanks m8, i appreciate it
Wow, what a fantastic restoration, way better than the original! Your design sense and skills are phenomenal to say the least!!!!
Thanks a lot!
Well done. Greetings from Seattle.
23:46 So cool to se before after! Do this style od video for other house.
The sauna is awesome. I would love to have one.
👍
Looks great man
Klasse, einfach schön 🤩 Da hält man im Winter durch, bei eurer Kälte👏👍
This log sauna is the best place to be in winter 😜👍
Hard work I'm sure but it is beautiful
Tere Ants, just find your very nice channel. Impressive ! Very well done. Thanks for sharing and best greetings from Saksamaa ja Hiiumaa.
Tere! Hallo! Thank you.
Would love a similar video on the restoration of the main house. Thank you very much :)
Great video Andris, will definitely watch the video on the main house! I was thinking about doing a video on the garage that I've built and 6 of us are living in 😂 will hopefully start building the main house soon so I'll defo be watching your house videos 👌
So happy you fixing it up you have done it justice i living in alog cabin i going to do like what you did to
Thanks mate
Man am I jealous of you guys in the colder climates. I sauna once a week but I'd do more if it wasn't nearly £6 a time.
There's nothing more rewarding than to have a parent say to you that they are proud of what you have done. Well done bud and cherish that forever and also don't forget to pass that appreciation onto your kids (if you have them) or other people who help.
no kids of my own, but i have 7 kids surround me most of the time. So plenty of kids to go around.
Great video! A recap video of the house would be awesome! You are a true craftsman. Thanks for your time.
Good work, really shows you high skll level
Another great job. Looking forward to your future vids. You are blessed to have such a wonderful property!
I love the way you restore the old buildings, you can't fake age and history, its wonderful and should last another 110 years.
You do amazing work. Wonderful that you are saving these old buildings.
Merry Christmas to you and your family, enjoy you saving you past, wish more people did that, here in the USA we're in to much of a hurry, not so much in Arkansas as in large cities. God's Blessings
I understand. Thanks for the cheers. Best wishes to you and your family aswell.
Hello from Brisbane, Australia ! Really enjoy your videos….as you can imagine, the landscape is totally different but this is the attraction. Keep it going 👍
great video pal keep up the great work love every minute , and YES keep those videos coming.YOUR BUDDY IN CINCINNATI OHIO USA.
Hehe thanks!
Enjoyed the build and show
Enjoyed the comment! Thanks!
Really enjoyed the video and nice work! It would be really cool to see a video on the house!
Sa oled tubli! Jätka samas vaimus. Alati ei olegi tähtsad kogemused vaid pealehakkamine. ❤ Mul sama töö ees kuid alles ei ole peale vundamendi mittemidagi.
see on küll halb kui midagi peale vunda alles pole :D :D mis plaan on siis?
A house video but of course, yes
Awesome video Ant’s! Thank you for taking the time to put this video together, you did a great job at narrating over the photos. It’s crazy how much work it’s been for us in the past without any equipment, I have struggled for years around my property without anything other then shovels and wheelbarrow, hard work. I’m so thankful to now own a small tractor and mini excavator!
I would definitely watch your house restoration video 👍🙂
Ps I will send you a few videos of my homemade sauna, it’s crazy small 😂
Take care buddy 🙂
Thanks Mike. Iv actually seen said video about that sauna in forest. But send anyway i will gladly watch again. Take care buddy!
Добрый день Антс, прекрасное видео молодец так держать, удачи вам всем и крепкого здоровья.
Спасибо и вам, удачного Нового года!
I thank work your doing is amazing saving these cabins ....this one here reminds me of one cabins I built with my father keep the amazing work up saving these cabins is wonderful historic homes and log cabins are my favorite
Same here. Theres so many abandoned log cabins all over the world that could deserve a second lease of life 👍 sadly alot of them are either burned down by vandals or just left to die.
Beautiful video heppy Christmas
Glad to hear you kept the family tradition of the sauna🙄 rather than a new replacement. The restoration has meaningful values in your family as it was also rebuilt by your family members🙄. Your father's vision has past unto you bud. Love the results & the stenciled engraving from the 1910 era up to 2014. Will there be more to follow within your future seedlings? Bravo 👏👏👏👍! Well done sir!!
Thanks a lot Buck!
Really enjoying your videos, i'm glad your Dad got to enjoy the sauna also. i'd like to see a video/slide show on the main house, the way you tell the story and explain the issues is really cool.
Thanks. He was very bitter person throughout his life never liked anybody. I was suprised @ what he said. Thanks4watching
I love your channel. greetings from germany
Thanks man i aprecciate it a lot!
Üllatav video, super töö!
Soo nice !
Love this video (as well as all your others) never knew I was so interested in bobcats, excavators, sawmills, ziplines and building restorations until I started watching your channels! Ummmm thanks for the videos!
Very cool! glad i sparked some intrest in those topics for you :D
Very good job Sir 😀
Thanks sir
Another terrific video man! And yes definitely put together something about the main house. It'll probably end up being a 2 hour video but I'll watch it!👍
I did do that 😌 it ended up being a 1hour video. You can find it on my yt channel if your interested. Take care ❤
What a wonderful video!! I love your story telling skills it’s very calming! I feel like someone is reading a old book to me. You did an amazing job rebuilding this!! I’m not doing so well health wise covid messed my heart up and now my blood pressure won’t go down which really stinks cause I just got my saw mill and I just feel so bad that it’s hard to have the energy to use it 😔. You are a wonderful person and that was very touching to hear you talking about your dad saying he’s proud of you, your going to do very well in life with your skills,work ethic and attitude I wish there were more people like you on this earth. Your whole property and life are beautiful keep up the great work and content take care my friend
Thanks Darrel. So sad to hear about your health. I hope you get better my friend! So awsome that you got a saw mill now. I will wait for that video with big hype, take your time and stay safe.
It's beautiful! What an incredible setting too! Your property looks like something out of a book of fairytales. Thank you for all the great videos you make and share with us. You're amazing!
Fantastic restoration work done and what a nice location of the sauna! Looking at the video the sauna stove is super effective seeing the thermometer how fast it heated up the steam room... 🙂. Greeting from an Estonian in Sweden. Palju jõudu tulevaks töödeks ja häid Jõule Sinule ja su perele!
Suur aitäh!
Amazing job sir
So nice of you
Väga lahe!!
Great seeing the resurrection of the old sauna - a similar video of the main house would be great too!
THE BEST CHANNEL TO WATCH..TEACH MORE KNOWLEDGE.👍👍👍👍👍
So nice of you
Wow! The sauna looks great. A video of the main house would be nice to see.
I'm loving your sauna, great job on it's restoration. I'd also like to see you produce a video of the main hours restoration, bet it would be very interesting. I hope to see it in the future.
Thanks. Will do
Great job I really enjoyed your restorations.
Thank you very much!
What a fantastic video. You did an amazing job with this restoration. It was great to see the skills you learned on this early project has helped you take on the other buildings. I’d love to learn about the house restoration.
Take care
Absolutely interesting to watch, well done
Thank you😜
Great video. I've been binging everything you've uploaded for the last few weeks. It's great stuff! I hope you continue building/renovating and sharing the process. I'd for sure watch a similar video(s) on the main house!
Thanks for watching this and my other videos! Means a lot to me.
Love it❤️
