Little about me
After spending most of my life in the big city, living a congested life within society's grip I decided to leave all that behind and become more self reliant living a simpler more fulfilling life close to nature. My wife and I have 6 children, we homeschool, raise a garden, mini farm and try to be resourceful as we can providing everything the family needs from nature.
You can now buy me a coffee so I can keep building and making videos! Thanks for your support!

Okay... finally I see the mortar in between the logs. I was searching your videos and I was like "This guy is an idiot. WTF? That foam is SO UGLY!" LOL. Thank GOD you put the mortar in there. In every video I couldn't see you changing it and I was dumbfounded. Whew!
There’s nothing like a real fire
Agreed 👍
Dude I am soo jealous! Congratulations! You great great grandchildren will be able to use it because it is so sturdy and well built!

So cozy the 🔥
Dave really like all the work you’ve done on that cabin great job
Thank you Michael happy holidays
Happy Holidays, good to see your progress.
Thank you 🙏
I was wondering why you put the pink batts under the floor and not the same stuff ( closed cell foam board ) you put on your roof, with 1/4 inch mesh under that to keep rodents out.?? Did you glue the floor ply down to combat squeaks in the future.?? You have done a marvelous job, the best family cabin build I have ever seen by one person. Thank you for sharing this journey.
Thank you and the floor does have 1/4 mesh all under it to keep rodents out and no issues yet!
A great job,you have the American spirt of the fifty's!!
Perfekto ❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My husband and I just found your channel and we are binge watching. We just purchased 17 acres of raw wooded land in southeast Missouri. Our dream is to build a log cabinand loving all your info. Keep up the good work!
Thank you 🙏 best of luck on your journey
Paciência e perfeição 🇧🇷
obrigada
GOOD JOB .
🙏
THAT IS GOING TO BE BEAUTIFUL CANT WAIT TO SEE THE END
Thank you 🙏
@Dave Mead Does only just found you so ill start watching from the start. I want to make one to so be nice to learn on you thanks
@@googlelimp9834 👍👊
You even drive a green RAM. That fits with the entire project from my prospective. I used to drive on but now have a grey 2500 and white 5500. Really have enjoyed watching this project. If I was your age & had your tallent I would do that up here 70 mi from Canada.
thx man, and I love my ram 2500!

Need a bigger rug in front of stove/couch...........
Greate worh
Kinda thought that was what was gonna happen but wasn’t positive
Very nice for the built you had been done. I have some land and would like to build small cabin on it but I don't know how to start to get it done.
Thank you, You can do it!
Hi Dave, how you prepared the mortar for chinking? Thank you in advance.
Dave, the chinking is REALLY bringing the cabin to life! Great job, buddy. Question: on logs with major looking splits in them, do you get air leakage through them, or do you lose a significant 'R' value thru the cracks? Would it be beneficial to fill the cracks with epoxy, or is this a non-issue?
thanks! its a non issue those are checks and never go all way through not even close nothing gets through them. same way on my 11 yr old cabin next door and no issues ever
Everything looks great, where do you live
Chinking looks real good... better than the pink. Tedious work, though. Did you use nails or screws to "porcupine" the logs so the mortar would stick? The guy over at "The Outsider" youtube channel used a metal mesh between the joints on his cabin that seemed to work out real well. Nice work.
Thx man yeah so much better than looking at the foam lol. I used nails it’s least expensive route and I had great luck with the older cabin I built using same technique
How Many yards of concrete did the foundation need
Perhaps I missed it, but what did you use as the chinking
Mortar
I love the look and I agree with the method but who has the numbers on thermal efficiency over 2x4 construction? I like both methods but I think if you can get the building materials to the site then modern methods would be more efficient. No?
Would have taken me way longer and cost way more for me to build this size home with modern materials and lumber. I have a “stick” built home (2x4)also that is right next door and the numbers don’t lie. This place due to its thermal mass heats and stays cool way better
@@tribeofdavid8 Thanks for your response. I'm not discounting your experience. Part of my question included having plywood and 2x boards delivered on site. It's hard to compare that level of readiness and ease of build. Some may not have time to harvest logs and prep them. Also, there is something to be said for thermal mass.....and that goes both ways. Thermal mass only buys time...not immediate performance. I assume that "heats better" means that it "feels" more comfortable but I believe that characteristic can be built into a modern style home given the correct materials. I'm not saying you are wrong....I'm just asking as I'm looking to do what you have done. There is a a lot that contributes to perceived "comfort". Cheers and congrats on your achievement. I tip my hat to you.
