  • Join me as I fight to keep the abandoned cabin warm as a winter snowstorm hits the off-grid cabin in the woods. Even though its snowing and cold outside, the cabin renovation must continue as I install insulation, putting my DIY skills to the test as I fight to stay warm.

    This is a very good way to showcase how people can get by in times of testing ones situations in life. We all might be staring down that barrel sooner then we think 🤔

      If you want reliable internet at the cabin, check out Starlink. Elon Musk’s satellite internet. True robust internet with incredible bandwidth. Usually over 100meg up and down

    I’m glad you’re taking precautions working alone.. when I do something that’s got any kind of oh ,oh factor to it , I try to think of anything that might happen so I can avoid it..
    Actually either Arkansasan or Arkansasawyer is fine for most of us😊Glad to have ya! I’m an Oregon transplant from 1963, when my husband, who I married while he was stationed in Oregon, got out of the service and brought me , a and our baby, and toddler, back home to Arkansas..I love it here .. the people too..

  • @leebernardo1000

    Be careful with that heater though - for Carbon Monoxide. Those things usually aren't designed with sealed combustion or Oxygen Sensors. It could overcome you very fast, in that small area, which would be disastrous. Also note, if you put in a CO detector - they have a 6 year lifespan, on the sensor, and need to be replaced then. I'm a retired Fire Alarm tech and just want to be helpful.

    • @ShawnieBoy29
      @ShawnieBoy29 Před 2 lety

      It's virtually impossible to buy a new heater in the US without an oxygen depletion sensor. If the oxygen level gets too low it will automatically cut off the fuel supply.

    The cabin is looking good David !
    Very smart to start at the peak and move downward. My Dad always said the same thing... start with the hard part of any job first because when you get to the end of it your arms are going to be tired.. Glad that the heater is working and that you actually were able to stay warm.
    So looking forward to the future videos of your remodel.
    Stay happy, healthy, hydrated, safe and warm. May God continue to bless you, your family and your adventures.

    Stupid question. In a have to case can you double stash that insulation? Like if you couldn't get a higher R value & needed it?

I'm sure you have worked really hard to get to where you are now. You are absolutely amazing! I love where your place is and I love the videos! I was wondering is there any way that for the water is crossing the road that something could be done and the water go to the creek instead of coming down through there? I've seen small places here around Kentucky lake that you can drive through the creek beds like that. I am looking forward to your next video! I wish I could see them everyday! I am very proud of you! Sitting here waiting in Paris Tennessee for more videos!

      He might wind up redoing it, I grew up and live in AR and it gets very humid. Moisture control is why I gleefully shell out for moisture barriers and oversized drains for my central air conditioning systems. The furnaces are mostly because there's a spot for them in the air handling units.
