    Good job, many professional carpenters make mistakes so, don't worry. Nobody should criticize you for what and how you are doing your thing. I have built many cabins in my lifetime and none of them are straight but, they are still standing and dry today, lol. Thanks for sharing.

    No worries, that wood will not go to waste. You can use it for shorter pieces underneath windows, in closets, or in building other projects.
    Looking forward to your next post. May God bless you. 🙏💝

  • @bryanjelinski8036
    @bryanjelinski8036 Před měsícem

    I'm very impressed on how determined and capable you are. I assume you had help from your friend to finish the walls in 4 days? There's no reason to be embarrassed by that. It's best to be open with us. We understand the heavy weight and safety concerns when dealing with the walls. Ummm, the battery died for 4 days breaches the trust relationship you want to develop over time with loyal viewers/ subscribers.
    You're doing great and are inspirational. I know they're expensive, but I think you'll regret not adding a few more small windows to your layout for light, cross ventilation and security. I'm looking forward to your next episode!

    Great job and a very talented Woman. If I were you I would have me a 10mm strapped to my side on a holster being out there in the Wilderness by yourself. You never know when you might need it in case of bear or a mountain lion. Other than that, your project is coming along. Stay safe and vigilant.

    Not that many could or would do what you’re doing in my opinion.
    Oh and you can crank and run a chainsaw as good as and probably better than most. Good luck and take care.

    I was a little late to loooong comment your last video but you can check it out. You make a house made of wood and it gona move little when it sets over time and the temp changes. I see that all from U.S using foam around the windows and doors. The reason we dont do that is that the spray foam expand and could push the window frame so you can not adjust if the doors and windows get hard to opens and also not breath anything. We use soft insulation type Rockwool and have adjustible screws when install the windows and doors so you can adjust them over time. See if you can find windows and door with pre drill holes ar else just drill holes for the special adjustible screws

  • @lectro5418
    @lectro5418 Před měsícem +2

    Your doing just fine. When putting in screws, try an impact drill instead of the regular drill if you have one. I used the drill for years until I got an impact drill. I love my impact drill, It acts much as a drill does until more torque is needed, then it acts like a impact driver. Try it. You might like it I certainly do. It's also a little lighter. I think I'll subscribe. You've got spirit!! Keep plugging at it. I'll keep watching 😊

  • @TM-jl1zd
    @TM-jl1zd Před měsícem +2

    Nice job. It is hard to tell so if you have already done it, my apologies. A double top plate that is staggered at the current joints will tie everything in nicely and will also help to spread out the load from your roof/floor joists.

    Love it. But...I haven't seen the entire build yet however I noticed that your headers aren't against your top plate, rendering them useless. The gap needs to be filled solid or with cripples 16" OC. I can see your lack of experience but fear not. After this build you'll have learned lots. Have fun.😎

    @carenclemmons5002 Před 29 dny +1

    Ms Lady, I’d prefer that you have bear protection greater than the attractant dog and bear bells. Animals surround you there and they watch. What else do they do but find food, water and shelter. I certainly hope that you carry a nice large caliber hand cannon if a shot gun doesn’t suit you. We know pooh happens when we least expect it. Expect it so that you’ll get to complete your homestead above ground for many more years. Just sayin. Would like to celebrate your accomplishments as your a woman that I wish I coulda been when I was young. I will admit that I’m scared of bears ever since learning that they love bright colors, flowers and sweet smelling things woman use every day. Please don’t be offended.
