  • Father and son team rush to get the roof covered on their hand-built log cabin before the snow arrives. After installing the ridgepole, their next big task was to get the purlins and rafters on.

    That tractor cranked (25:12), and then that mini blizzard, well this old southern man (Alabama) nearly froze to death just watching. Watching you and your dad skate along those icy snow covered logs and ladders was high anxiety for me. What a relief to see that tarp go on. That must have been a very emotional moment. Thank you so very much for the extra efforts you make to record the incredible beauty around your cabin. You’re the best.

    Outsider, you are an inspiration. I’m a mechanical engineer of 30 plus years and have worked on some interesting and complex problems over the years requiring computers and other forms of sophistication. But your application of some of the most old of Egyptian era principles of levers, pulleys and leverage is fantastic. Wish all of our modern youth could see what you are doing. Very inspiring. I’m in awe of you and your father.

    There is so much beauty, work, thought, and time that goes into this .. camera angles, measurements, conversations, editing, warmth of relationship, inspiration, energy .. and a lot more .. surrounded by the Scripture of the first book ever written .. the Book of Nature! The beams of light from the sun .. are stored in the towering trees .. to become supporting beams in a home. A lot of good lessons come from working like this .. shaping a life with good measure! Loved every minute! 👍

      You mirrored my thoughts exactly - even to the sound effect of the moaning wind in the drone shots way overhead - that added that little bit of extra effort that made the scene work all that much better... very much a professional production shot end edited with care that's really appreciated by us viewers. Those beams of sunlight - the snow blowing off the boughs - the shots on the back of the logs being towed back towards the cabin... a real treat for us - for me!

    Oh my gosh! Such determination. I can't even imagine how slippery those beams were and how cold you two must have been. Congratulations on a job well done. At least your rafters aren't going to be in a big frozen pile on the ground all winter. You may even be able to get an earlier start come spring. Have a warm winter inside your homes with your families. Prayers and Best wishes to you both this Holiday Season.

    I am so proud of you both. I don't see how you could work so hard in such awful conditions. I am pleased you were so careful but I did hold my breath a few times when you climbed the ladders or stood on the snowy boards. A job very well done. Congratulations!!!!
