Hello from Ontario, Canada. I always enjoy your Vlog on Saturday afternoon as I prep dinner. Very relaxing. You need to chink inside as well, right? If you don’t get through the outside, at least you can snug in the cabin from inside. The cement looks like chocolate cake frosting. Even Sweden might feel some Hurricane Kirk effects next week. More rain.

@@JosEPh-zy3yr I don't get offended, so here's the facts. I lived and got married to the love of my life for 28½ years. December 29. 2013 I came home for lunch. She looked a bit gray and sick sitting there in the couch. I asked what was wrong. She looked up and said "I think I'm gonna move, I'm not really glad anymore"! 12-15 minutes later she walked out the door and she was gone. No explanation or anything. Talk about getting a shock. 10 month earlier we took a big loan to renovate the house - the kids have moved out the year before. After she moved out, I called 2 real estate agents and the bank, and all gave the same value - inside 50.000 danish. I owed all in all 2.3 million, and they valued the house to 2,2. So i was actually bankrupt. The value was set low, because a lot of the house looked half done/finished (renovation) and they all said it would be set for sale as a builders project. I resented that, and for 5,5 year i worked 7 days a week and only went home to eat, sleep, and shower. I finished all the jobs on the house, ekstra insulation, new tilled roof all the woodwork and paint outside, the walls I've taken down was fixed, new kitchen, bigger windows and double glas door out to the garden, everything interior got fresh paint and expensive wallpaper and, and and. Last but not least- i paid off a lot on my loans, and had a completely new looking house. Then i put it up for sale, and luckily the common marketprices on houses had started to rice. I sold for 3,6 million and when everyone and everything was paid I was left, with 1,4 million danish kroner. The house in Sweden cost me 250.000dkkr the car 68000svkr drilling for water 86000svkr extension with bathroom and a new kitchen with all new electricity 100 big ones, then the roof on the barn, a sawmill and I'm sure something more. I was smart, so i invested 500.000 in different companies and that has paid me back a bit. Today I have 331.000 svedish kroners left, and they have to stretch untill March 1. 2027. All the best to you my friend Michael

Howdy Michael, I wish there was a way to give this video many more than just one thumbs up. You have spoken so much wisdom to many people who are caught up in life’s rat race. People have been brain washed into thinking they have to have so much stuff to be able to live comfortably. They have swallowed the poison bait and are slowly dying. Plus, most people are not conditioned to hard work. Here in the states there is a small number of young people who are trying to become homesteaders with absolutely no idea of how much work there is involved. They are thinking of a dramatic life with out challenges. I really feel sorry for them because so many fail. Thank you so much for sharing how you made your dream become a reality. I do hope it will help someone else to break the societal chains on them and live free, or die trying. God’s blessings to you, my friend

@@TheBeardedCarpenter a 1000 thanks for your comments. And boy do you hit bullseye. The rat race, or the hamsterwheel, are not made for the human race. We are not meant to live cramped together in big cities, but more like the Indians, who lived on the big plains, in the mountains or in the forests. Everyone was more equal, and no one was more worth, than the next one. It sadens me to hear the young ones fail, it's the same here in Europe, but I think it mostly boils down to a romantic and too ambitious way of thinking. Most of them want the dream fulfilled in a jiffy, and if it gets a bit hard they give up without a real fight for the dream to come through. Have a great week and stay safe my friend All the best Michael

Howdy Michael- so happy to see you starting the chinking. From my personal experience there are days that you don’t have to put as much water in the mix depending on how the humidity is. It’s just something you have to play with to get the consistency of the chinking so it’s not too hard to pack in. I’m thinking you still may want to put some type of coloring in the mix. I don’t see colors all that great so I just try to stay consistent with the mix formula so it all looks the same. I wish I was there to help you and maybe eat some of those mushrooms lol.

I do know that the humidity plays a role, because the sand will take up, or release some from the air. I noticed, as I was applying it, that it was a tiny bit to wet, so if I have to sprinkle a little bit more in it at the end, I'll do half as much as the first batch. I'm so greatful for your teaching, and I'm sure the chinking is going to make my (your) cabin look absolutely beautiful. All the best and have a wonderful weekend Michael
