If you're going to air seal, just make sure you have enough ventilation to provide sufficient oxygen for the stove to burn properly without building up carbon monoxide in the building, that can be quite dangerous. Unfortunately, carbon monoxide is odorless and colorless, and disperses evenly throughout the room, so sleeping low, sitting down, sleeping higher up or even standing can't prevent carbon monoxide poisoning. Please make sure to install a carbon monoxide detector so you'll be sure to be safe.
That yellow flower is a Trout Lilly / Dog Tooth Violet ~ So... you don't even have to drop a line to get a trout... I clean my garlic by picking at it too, but you can put it in a lidded jar and shake and the peel falls right off ~
Attention to detail is what takes a project from finished to showroom finish. The time and care you put into your work really Shines when you take a step back and admire your completed projects. Keep up the great work sir!
Kevin, you are truly a ‘special’ person - and I mean that in a good way! You definitely need a bar fridge in the man cave but locked until the saw is shut down!
Man I wish we used Celsius here. Our temps are all over the place and completely random 😂 we boil at 211, freeze at 32, body temp is like 98.6, and room temp is around 70. I even had to look some of those up cause they're so all over the place it's hard to remember.
Good morning from Minnesota USA! I love the workbench in the saws Mahal! I keep waiting for you to announce your Airbnb or VRBO site for all your little cottages!😁😊
Thank you for the other structure updates. They still look amazing, and glad to see they haven't been forgotten! Your little village keeps getting better and better!
Kevin, I've been watching you since you and your brother built your first cabin and I must say, you and Don have really stepped up your game on these projects. That "sawsmahal" with man cave is incredible. Must be nice to have a nearly endless supply of dead standing trees that you can saw into usable lumber.
Hey Kevin you should look into bug friendly lighting i.e. light that attracts bugs to the water. It will encourage the trout to eat the bugs and wean themselves off the fish feed. Great video. Awesome to see the swasmahall and all the other projects doing well.
We gotta LIKE this one: there is something that will interest everyone. The Sawsmahal continues to amaze. Thanks to your past experience, you are effectively able to 'design as you go.' A good deal of time has passed since you revisited your past constructions at the pond and I was very interested to be reminded that they are used. They also have held up very well. I watched the video where you and Chris put in this year's trout: they were 'submarine' size. You are doing more 'infomercial' moments...but someone has to pay for your time, talent, equipment, and materials. I enjoy seeing the items being demonstrated.
Wow there just isnt any thing you cant build. Sure wish you were my son in law!!! And your attention to detail is super! Keep trucking.... o the opening hot tub shots had me rolling.
Looks like your trout are doing wonderfully! Well done, sir! I really enjoy all your builds. All done well, and your commentary that accompanies your build is always appreciated… we’re not all carpenters 😂 Keep it up!! Love watching 👍🏼
Carpenter or not, you do quite well. All your cabins and cube and saws-mahal 😂 are well built! Thanks for all you do! It’s nice to watch something not filled with trash.
Your lumber store sure beats mine. I go to Home Depot. I've build a garden shed and use foil tape to seal off the gaps. You're right, once I did that, the mice invation stopped. Well, I hammer a lot of them prior, but since it's been fine. Great lumbermill shed man cave thingy you got there. Quite nice indeed.
Yellow wild flower is an "Adders Tongue" the root bulb is edible. I think in Michigan it is a protected wild flower. By the way, the frogs were making polliwogs
Well, good BC breakfast with you today…digests very well with this enjoyment …accomplishment’s…… the blue look sells extremely high priced as “blue denim wood” here….well That reservoir is very reminiscent of original old wood stoves!
Thanks for the tour, nice to see the Forest Cube and A-Frame again. A fun summer project would be to build your ducks an island. Growing up, my neighbor had a pond with ducks. He kept losing them to coyotes, so he built an island for them. I think all he used was an old tire and some wood for float, he built a small coop on top of that, they slept in that all summer and had their little ducklings there too. Those loud frogs take me back to summers on the farm. Frogs are great to have around, they indicate that you have a good ecosystem.
You have SO many awesome little “getaways” on your property. It’s so awesome. I’m genuinely curious on how much property you have? Has to be a decent amount lol
Really cool to see the cube and a frame what is it a year or so later. And how good they look and knowing that there being used. Heart split is always a problem and unavoidable. Love the sawmill shed. Still believe a good log slide setup on bothe sides of the mill will make life easier. Allows to move slabs off or halves etc. without having to take them completely away.
Looking great! I would put the lights that are in the pond a bit deeper though. And if you leave it on like a constant green the fish will swim around it to get the bugs that are flying on the surface because of the light
As usual, your craftsmanship and ingenuity never cease to impress and amaze me. This video was fun to watch, thank you Kevin for what could be tedious to watch (for this grandma anyway 😜) was hugely entertaining 😄😍
Next time plant Sitka spruce. It grows 100% faster than Norway spruce and is better wood. Native to Alaska, Canada's west coast, and down to northern California.
Your little village in the woods is really taking shape now Kevin! You think one day you might actually move out to live there, semi off grid...? Awesome work, did you think about the wood stove going under the bench, or was that not an option?
According to the Picture This app that plant is Common Chicory. It also says the yellow flower is a Yellow Trout Lily. Thanks for the cabin updates. How is the Hobit House Root Cellar doing?
I'm kind of interested in that insulation idea. Would the hydrated lime make it toxic for mice or would they not care? I was planning on insulating my office while I'm back and forth you made a great point. I think I'll wait.

$185 US (all in) - too expensive!
Hey Kevin do you still have the link to that cnc laser that you use

I love Don he needs a special gift and make an episode of it please and thanks 💙💙💙💙
A zip line from the tree in front of the cube to the sauna would be awesome
Kudos to your wife writing a book!!
Attention to detail is what takes a project from finished to showroom finish. The time and care you put into your work really Shines when you take a step back and admire your completed projects. Keep up the great work sir!
Nice to see the update of the other build you made from the past Kev. Still looking nice and strong.
Thanks for the tour of the buildings. Also, HI DON!😊
Kevin, you are truly a ‘special’ person - and I mean that in a good way! You definitely need a bar fridge in the man cave but locked until the saw is shut down!
How did I forget a fridge...
Rain on a metal roof is a lovely sound. Western Colorado is still in drought so rain is a blessing.
There is something very relaxing about your narration delivery and explanation of your projects!!
When’s the underwater pond cabin coming? Submarine cabins with trout viewing capabilities are so hot right now.
So cool! You should put the lights around your whole pond and tell your brother to do a frog catch and cook. There taking food from your fish.
When explaining Celsius to Americans just say 20 is room temp and 40 is a fever. In winter add 0 is freezing.
Or 9/5ths +32
Yep 0 is freezing 100 is boiling and 36-37 is body temp.

Sweet little man cave
Kevin is the man, fully look forward to watching your content 🎉❤

That "sawsmahal" with man cave is incredible. Must be nice to have a nearly endless supply of dead standing trees that you can saw into usable lumber.
U should totally put a zipline from the top the cube over the pond
I love all the imperfections on those boards, it’s character and you pulled it from the forest yourself instead of it going to waste.
working on the mancave is way more exciting than digging holes
Hey Kevin you should look into bug friendly lighting i.e. light that attracts bugs to the water. It will encourage the trout to eat the bugs and wean themselves off the fish feed. Great video. Awesome to see the swasmahall and all the other projects doing well.
You need a comfortable design chair, to sit in and relax while you think about designing future projects.
Oh this is so cool! Make some coffee logos to put on your man cave walls! ☕️
Nice job, guys! Looks amazing! You should do a French cleat battens on the wall to have a multi-purpose wall

That yellow flower and spotted leaves are trout Lilly.
Sous vide in French would be sous=under and vide=empty!
First🎉
morning Kev, Morning Don, Morning Frankie 🙋🏻♀️
Time for a bigger tractor. Just want to say your sawzmahall is amazing I'm super jelly!
Wow there just isnt any thing you cant build. Sure wish you were my son in law!!! And your attention to detail is super! Keep trucking.... o the opening hot tub shots had me rolling.
Don I never doubted you for a minute, say this could be a new segment for you..... ask don?
Man cave is looking awesome. Thanks for showing us some older builds. Those poor fish are going to get a headache. Ha! Great video!!!
Looks like your trout are doing wonderfully! Well done, sir! I really enjoy all your builds. All done well, and your commentary that accompanies your build is always appreciated… we’re not all carpenters 😂 Keep it up!! Love watching 👍🏼
Neither am I! I'm just some guy that does stuff.. I am not a carpenter.
Carpenter or not, you do quite well. All your cabins and cube and saws-mahal 😂 are well built! Thanks for all you do! It’s nice to watch something not filled with trash.
I think The Cube build was one of the first I watched. Nice to see it's doing so well. Everything is looking good.💜
Thx for the tour update on the other cabins. 👍👍👍👍👍
Your lumber store sure beats mine. I go to Home Depot.
I've build a garden shed and use foil tape to seal off the gaps. You're right, once I did that, the mice invation stopped. Well, I hammer a lot of them prior, but since it's been fine.

Well, good BC breakfast with you today…digests very well with this enjoyment …accomplishment’s…… the blue look sells extremely high priced as “blue denim wood” here….well That reservoir is very reminiscent of original old wood stoves!
Steel wool also works great for sealing gaps to deter mice from entering.
Thanks for the tour, nice to see the Forest Cube and A-Frame again.

Those loud frogs take me back to summers on the farm. Frogs are great to have around, they indicate that you have a good ecosystem.
A glass barn door would be neat
i love those stoves I've always wanted one of them stoves they look so cool 🙂
A Trout Lily, also known as a Dog-Tooth Violet
Zip line from the top to the pond!
You have SO many awesome little “getaways” on your property. It’s so awesome. I’m genuinely curious on how much property you have? Has to be a decent amount lol
That yellow flower looks like a trout lilly
the ducks have a luxury bath now! :)
Wonderful creativity! Such great finishes for your intentions with this room. Big comfy recliners for you and Don to finish the whole deal 🥰
Really cool to see the cube and a frame what is it a year or so later. And how good they look and knowing that there being used. Heart split is always a problem and unavoidable. Love the sawmill shed. Still believe a good log slide setup on bothe sides of the mill will make life easier. Allows to move slabs off or halves etc. without having to take them completely away.
Yes. Slab slides are on the radar.. it's been 2 years for the cube.
The sawsmahal looks fantastic.
fish are enjoying their first techno rave.
The HOT TUB NEEDS BUBBLES. Would one of your pond aerators work? Mr Bubble?
Winch on a rolling farm that comes out from under the building to lift the logs onto the mill
Sweet! Keepin’ it real!
Looking great! I would put the lights that are in the pond a bit deeper though. And if you leave it on like a constant green the fish will swim around it to get the bugs that are flying on the surface because of the light
Wow. The bench and the whole Sawzmahal are outstanding!!!!
Toss the garlic in a small canning jar, screw the lid on and shake the everloving heck out of it. Easiest way to peel garlic.
Amazing builds!
Awesome as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
As usual, your craftsmanship and ingenuity never cease to impress and amaze me. This video was fun to watch, thank you Kevin for what could be tedious to watch (for this grandma anyway 😜) was hugely entertaining 😄😍
Awesome job gentlemen, especially when it came to feeding the piranhas...lol 😂😅 The hottub looked toasty! Love what you're doing ❤️
That's nice man cave for sure.. I'm working on mine as well. Long range building slash Man cave and editing spot..
Next time plant Sitka spruce. It grows 100% faster than Norway spruce and is better wood. Native to Alaska, Canada's west coast, and down to northern California.
loved seeing all the checkins on the old spots you built and the mill shed looks incredible
Thank you, Kev, for brightening my day.
I always like your projects! You should do a video showing everything you have done!
Wonder how the lights will look under the ice in winter. Do some skating in the dark
Awesome 👏
Yessir awesome possum like always!
Damn Kevin, awesome vid. All of your projects using that 'ash' turn out so well.
Great video Kevin
Thank you Sir!
@@ModernSelfReliance definitely going to have to build me one of those log haulers for down at the homestead 👍🏻
Great video
Have you thought about using the other structures for Air BNB’s? I would come visit if you did!
Great video as always Kevin! I like the way you are doing your mancave . Take care and stay safe my friend!!
Everything looks great. The lighting in the pond and hot tub is especially nice.
Cool😊
Waiting to see you build a zip line
Kev, you never fail to entertain me!
29:58 that's a trout lilly, erythronium americanum
edible plant, kinda sweet, I usually nibble on a few when hunting for morels in spring
23:00 my man, buy a hole saw! Looks great though
Another fine job and great video. You are living the good life, Kevin!
Next level work bench! Almost too nice to use. Love those tiny wood stoves, been a cold spring in Ontario
keep it up brotha!!!!!!
Smooth jazz lmao! Ok Rajesh!
Oooooh I loved this video.....
Amazing
The frogs are gonna have seizures if you do it too fast. But it’s insane cool!
Toad Lily. (the little yellow flower)
Your little village in the woods is really taking shape now Kevin! You think one day you might actually move out to live there, semi off grid...? Awesome work, did you think about the wood stove going under the bench, or was that not an option?
According to the Picture This app that plant is Common Chicory. It also says the yellow flower is a Yellow Trout Lily. Thanks for the cabin updates. How is the Hobit House Root Cellar doing?
The flower is a trout lily.
Nice work kev
C to F. Double it and add 32. Not exact but pretty damn close.
Example. 20C = 72F
I’m more interested in the blue slides in the background……why do I think it will be a pond slide in summer from some weird height?😂😂😂haha
It might happen.
Or a quick way to get down from one of the elevated structures?
I'm kind of interested in that insulation idea. Would the hydrated lime make it toxic for mice or would they not care?
I was planning on insulating my office while I'm back and forth you made a great point. I think I'll wait.
can you run your pump through a couple of socks or something when you fill up that pool so you don't get so much debris in there?
If this Saws Mahal is rockin', don't come a knockin'.
If it's rockin' something has gone terribly wrong.
Bi fold glass doors on the front
In the last video I noticed light coming through nail holes in your metal roof. Did you patch those holes so rain won't ruin your man cave?
Yes.
