Hey everyone there is someone impersonating me on telegram saying they are going to send gifts to subscribers and asking for personal information. Don’t give away any personal information, it is not me. This has been happening to a lot of other channels as well so be careful.
This is a big problem with a lot of the channels out there. They send a response to chats offering that you have won something and to call a number to claim it. So annoying!! Those aholes have no life other than to be stupid and annoying. I have noticed that the spam emails are increasing too.
This is a good book. Does provide a step by step introduction to how to build things czcams.com/users/postUgkxhgbP-6hUnXu_QRaoHgLztgsI0YF3HqR0 , also does offer some steps. Includes pictures to give you ideas for layouts and such. If you are looking for a guide, this is not exactly what you want. But if you are trying to familiarize yourself with the way that pole barn building and other out buildings, are made, then this will work just as you need it to. A few things in this book are a barn (of course), detached garage, storage building, and coops.
You don’t have to explain yourself mate ..you do what you think is right and what looks good ..that’s the trouble these days everyone thinks they no better ..keep up the great work ..from Outback Western Australia 👍
@@cdennisb Lol you're now ruled by fascists because the flu was going around, you're so far removed from freedom you wouldn't know it if you saw it. LMFAO
I know of a huge general store building, in Michigan, that was built in 1892. In 2014, they lifted the building to do a major remodel and found it was sitting on cedar stumps...for 124 years!
My previous house, known as a Polish flat, was built in 1900, and all the first floor outer joists and center joists are 8 x 8, sitting on 12 inch diameter cedar posts. I bought it in 1981, and sold it in 2014, and it is still standing, and still lived in today.
Nice job of raising the cabin. You should consider enclosing the space between the cabin and the ground, with either rocks, or panels. Doing so will make the cabin warmer and will keep the critters out of the crawl space. If you really want to keep out the mice, use galvanized hardware cloth stapled to the cabin bottom and then buried a few inches into the ground at the bottom. That will prevent small critters from digging under the enclosed paneling to get under your cabin.
This world needs more young men like you with your mindset! Hope Ciera is doing well with her knee. Cute kitten and Skeeter is adorable as always. ❤ from Tennessee!!!
"As long as she's happy, we're good, right?" You're such a decent, great guy, Kyle! Every girl should have a Kyle in their life. I wish I had one. :) I love watching all your projects, big and small. And all the animals. Hope Cierra is recovering and back on her feet soon. :)
Hey Kyle, That cabin is looking good man! I used to remodel lot's of houses and built new houses also, when we came upon older one level homes we would go underneath and most people always wanted to do something so the new floors wouldn't get so much moisture. You wouldn't believe what I've seen under all the older homes in the crawl space and I've even worked (on old trailers). Most of the mobile homes the floors would have water damage from the moisture They would buck and even have holes in them and it was just horrible. Several times we had to replace all the flooring in them. After we replaced the floors I started putting 6 mil thick black plastic just on top of the ground.underneath the remodel. Never had to go back. I know that it really helped keep moisture from getting back underneath the floors and joists in one level homes. I bought a one level 2 bedroom house and did that to it and to this day 30 years later I haven't had a problem with it. Also vents in the foundation helps keep airflow underneath and if it got cold here in Virginia you could put cover on the vents, of course we don't get the kind of low temps like you do but every little bit helps! Great video on both cabins !
I'm always impressed with your drive for getting your projects done! You solve problems before they are problems. Maybe I would do things a little differently than you, but that doesn't mean I would say you're doing it wrong. We all have our ways that work for us. You just don't give up or get beat down! That's what this world needs more of! There's too many quitters trying to run everything. You are a champion at living good. Thanks for sharing your projects with us! I find inspiration watching the way you work.
something I learned is that when you put a hollow concrete block directly on the ground like that, it will sink into the soil. I recommend putting a poured concrete footer under the blocks, or at least a solid 1-2" block underneath. This will keep the mud from pushing up inside the center of the block allowing it to sink more easily. This is what happened to the porch of my cabin...the guy didn't put a footer under my piers on the porch like we did under the cabin, and it sank into the soil. Neat cabin!!
Great job Kyle no matter what you make your cabin the way you feel it should be, l love the fact that you use what you have and don’t waste things. It’s your labor and hard work that makes your home yours.
Love the way you use what you have and have scavaged good materials. The price of lumber is crazy. I’ve saved and stored lumber for 40 years because I am fairly isolated in the mountains. Twenty years ago we used 2x10s to form in an area for a concrete pour. After stripping out the forms, we cleaned them up and made a picnic table. Twenty years later I hardly use it so for a new project I’m dismantling it for framing. The table is about 10’ long so the pieces will work well. I’ve learned a lot of this from Mexican workers too. They are really good at realizing the re-use of materials. The work looks great Kyle! Good for you!
Great work Kyle The porch makes cabin look so good And extra insulation never hurts when winter sets in Nice idea for loft to use for bed and storage underneath Fantastic job Kyle Love new kitten and of course Skeeter Take care and hope Cierra is doing well See you in next video
Kyle you don’t need to explain everything you’re doing to people who think you’re not doing it their way !! You already know exactly what will work for you and that’s all that matters !! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and your videos and have a beer with me. 🍺🍺🍺✌🏼🙃😎🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Sprayfoam cans are designed to be used upside down. Thats why they might not work correctly when using them in upright configuration. It's on the directions on the can. Awesome job you are doing!
Adding some height to the cabin makes the porch totally worthwhile, it was kinda low for one before..lol I get it, use what you have, and hauling a bunch of materials in doesn't make alot of sense. I'm sure Ciera will love the loft, she can use the space under it for a dresser or such. Love what ya'll are doing ❤️
Great job jacking it up, the cabin looks so much better now. My 2 cents, I'd use some 1x boards for the ceiling. They would compliment the log walls much better than plywood. Boards are also easier to hoof in from your car. 👍💪💪
Yeah nice job on the porch, you didn’t take time to show us the kitty. Yeah you have to build a ladder to get up into the loft. Everything looks great..
A large plastic Wagon with Air Tires. (Pneumatic) for hauling eqmnt. Fill the hollow Blocks w/Cement or use full Solid cement blocks. Used/New Engine Oil 80% to 20% (+/-) Diesel/Kerosene. For a waterproofing stain !
Hi Kyle! Cabin looks great. You are so much like my son. Safe while you work. You guys will be nice and cozy this winter. Kitty is adorable and porch turned out great. Lots of "old" foundations in these hills of W.Va. Awesome video as always. Cierra, hope recovery is going good. 😊
Looking good!! I put foam in and sealed it just like yours. I used Menards Cedar paneling to do my ceiling. It's light and looks great! It's very light and easy to work with. Ii had left over pieces so I used them on the wood bin sides. Keep dialing it in. Take care.
Glad it wasn't as sketchy as you thought it would be! LOL. Hope you and Cierra are well. Kitty is so cute, hopefully a mouser! Keep believing in yourself. 👍🇨🇦😎🐾🐾🌲🔥
Took me awhile to get to this one, but glad I finally watched it. That porch sets the whole cabin off - really adds to the overall perspective of the cabin when you see it from the trail. Nice job on the loft - for strengthening, maybe a couple of cross braces on the stove side and the side wall? Just one diagonal set at an opposite angle from the other side. Also another level brace on the front and back about 4 inches below the platform. You just might be glad for the extra bracing sometime in the future. BTW, the kitten looking out the window was so sweet - you had both canine and feline supervisors! Oh, before I forget -my previous house had a tin ceiling in the lower level - it was built in 1900.
I think it's going to see more water than you think. Everything gets wet with wind and snow. Probably warp unless you paint it but for your sake I hope I'm wrong.
I wouldn't put dressers under the bed for fear of dampness getting to your clothes. I would make it suitable for hangers and then less likely for mould and easier to keep the clothes dry and/or warm up in the winter. Cabins looking good.
Hey Kyle, The porch looks great! You make it look so easy. The kitty is sweet. Skeeter must be happy to have a pet. Nice improvements on the use of space inside. I enjoy watching you create. Thank you for sharing. Cheers,
You are a man chasing his dream. You need to be very proud of your accomplishments. I don't know you, and we will never meet, but I feel blessed that you are sharing your life with us.
Good video Kyle!! If you sold the place You Would Regret THE DECISION big time.. Raising cabin, a deck and raised bed👍Beautiful spot! B Deacon Manitoba Canada 🇨🇦
Great work Kyle, love the front porch and great job on raising the cabin! The loft is nice also! Looking forward to the ceiling being finished! I hope Cierra is healing up and feeling better! ✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
I save all my old stuff i may need it. back in the 1960s i was a kid and they were building neighborhoods near me and i would go and ask for the scrapes and they would tell me i could have anything laying on the ground so i would pick up nails and straighten them and scrape wood to build forts.
This World NEEDS more Men & Women like the both of you. You both are a True Inspiation for not relying on anyone but yourselves. Thank you for sharing !!
Yeah, I was going to say something about the 4-corners right in front of the door but you knew. Lift, porch, loft. Check-check-check. Nice job. Thanks for sharing
Hey Kyle I bought one of these big yard Garden metal wagons from Tractor Supply holds like a thousand pounds it's got big rubber tires on it absolutely love this thing use it for everything I've called bricks up and down Hills and everything. I've tied 2x4s to the side of it and I'm even hauled plywood in on it only a couple sheets at a time but it does the job mine several years ago cost like $70 I don't know what they cost anymore but it's got metal mesh sides front and back rubber tires a really long handle and the sides will even fold down
Could you use one of those wagons or is the trail too rough to pull one in? The wagon we have will carry over 800lbs. We use it to haul stuff around our yard like gravel, wood, and to carry our car tires in and out of the garage. If we have an large grocery shop we use it to haul the groceries into the back door saving us a bunch of trips. Certain types of wood will last longer than others if you use them on the ground.
Hi, nice build . Wow !! Seems like I missed, a lot. Your build is awesome. You know you could build/buy a wheeled cart. Hopefully; that would shorten your trips for hauling, materials back and forth. Until you create your own pathway, or permanent road.
I would never put wood right against my cabin. That is the way to invite termites in to eat your place to dust. You need to build a woodshed near to the cabin instead. I would spray your concrete blocks with concrete sealer. If they get wet and freeze they will shatter. I would also put a piece of metal sheeting with the edges bent downward on top of each block stand. This will prevent the termites from crawling up and feasting on the bottom boards. Bending the edges downward prevents them from crawling up the blocks. I would also scatter some diatomaceous earth around the perimeter of the cabin. That will also help keep away the termites. They build mud tunnels so they can move around in the moist dark. Sunlight kills them by drying them out. The earth desiccates the moisture in the body and kills them.
Hi , i am new on your chanel and i like what you do , dont stop, very nice jobs , going to start à cabin next may 2023 on a friend Land , he said yes , have a nice day , Serge from Montréal
A lot of people commenting probably forget that there are no termites in a northern climate like yours either. And honestly it makes it a lot easier for the next person or the ecology that inhabits our area to minimize the use of concrete.
the osb is fine with some paint - add some border stencils around edge to jazz it up - i would say clear more trees and add metal behind stove and insulate more -firewood, insulation. water and power are you biggest concerns - now is the time to get ready! good content!
What a great video! We love following your journey with Ciera. Sending healing thoughts her way. Canvas ceiling lots of folks suggested sounds light(er) to carry & will keep it light inside too. We enjoy your choices & respect your using what you have, for sure! Idea - what about trimming the frame of the loft like you framed the door? It would make it feel more rustic maybe? Skeeter & now the kitten are fun to watch too. Thank you for sharing with us!
For your ceiling, canvas would be easiest to haul and it could be painted if more light is needed.It would continue the rustic look. I love your enthusiasm and boundless energy. Great build.

Amen. Cedar deteriorates very slowly, if ever. They should have built the building with cedar logs.

You look so darn happy sitting on your new porch, sipping your coffee! Great job!
Keep mice from getting under the corrugated roofing by first stuffing steel wool in each corrugation and then fill with the spray foam.
Use a canvas ceiling. Another cabin builder did that and it looked good
Sir Kyle~
GREAT progress! Blessings!
Your cabin very nice 👍💯💯💯👏👏🙏
Looks really nice with the cabin jacked up and the porch done. Now u can sit out there and have coffee and not track so much dirt inside

Replace the 2X4s for the loft with white birch logs and it is perfect.

It’s amazing what just a little porch will do for a cabin good job Kyle I like it.
Took me awhile to get to this one, but glad I finally watched it. That porch sets the whole cabin off - really adds to the overall perspective of the cabin when you see it from the trail.

I think it's going to see more water than you think. Everything gets wet with wind and snow. Probably warp unless you paint it but for your sake I hope I'm wrong.
Looks awesome!! Love your kitten too 🐈😍🌸💕🤗
Great job of raising your cabin

The cabin looks amazing raised up and with the porch, you did a great job, congrats...
Nice work Kyle. Definitely thought jacking up the cabin would be more intense than that.
Kyle how about putting up canvas just staple it up until you decide what you want to actually want to put up just a thought

Hey Kyle I bought one of these big yard Garden metal wagons from Tractor Supply holds like a thousand pounds it's got big rubber tires on it absolutely love this thing use it for everything I've called bricks up and down Hills and everything.
I've tied 2x4s to the side of it and I'm even hauled plywood in on it only a couple sheets at a time but it does the job mine several years ago cost like $70 I don't know what they cost anymore but it's got metal mesh sides front and back rubber tires a really long handle and the sides will even fold down

I really like ur videos. You make great content. Your attitude, resourcefulness and way of life is a thing of beauty.
I would never put wood right against my cabin. That is the way to invite termites in to eat your place to dust. You need to build a woodshed near to the cabin instead.

Keep posting the cabin improvements. Love them!
Maybe you can do a Murphy kinda like bed and you could just fold it up out of the way
Very nice
You need a 4x4. Porch looks really good, but I would add an extra stair at the bottom, just for looks if anything!

It looks great. Every cabin needs a front porch. 😊
Looking good! For the ceiling use cedar fence boards. They are cheap and light. And will keep the rustic look. Easier than carrying in plywood.
Quick porch area, really looks good now to walk up to it and have coffee on in the sun, your new kitten is so cute xxx
Love the kitten. Porch looks great . Enjoy your little cabin in the woods 🪵
For your ceiling, canvas would be easiest to haul and it could be painted if more light is needed.It would continue the rustic look. I love your enthusiasm and boundless energy. Great build.
Looks great!
Concrete Blocks are what you should have started this project with. If not by laying a 1 room basement concrete block Foundation, or a cellar room.
You can get that thin wall paneling and use it for the inside roofing...
