Addition Flooring Boring?: Slim's Cabin Fixer Upper Part 29

[@SlimPotatohead]

NOTE FROM SLIM: Several viewers have noted that I should have arranged the flooring plywood so the long end goes across the joists, not parallel. I agree. The benefit is an extra layer of ply going with the grain. Will my error have a significant impact? Unlikely, as there are still two out of 5 layers strengthening widthwise. I may add bridge pieces under the entranceway, but the rest will see little traffic or weight. Thanks for the tip! SP

[@vivianallen9772]

Finally! A Slim video! Don’t stay away so long, Slim. We miss you. We love your little spot in the woods, and loved seeing the fawn. You could video the storms coming in, the deer, and the birds, and just talk about what you have been doing, and what you will be doing. That would be enough for me. It doesn’t have to be fancy.

[@dma9646]

Truly enjoy your reasoning and how you get to a better outcome for you. Good, but never old fashioned common sense! 😊

[@bettybrigance6784]

That's right, finally a slim videl...!!

[@nickboucher1884]

🎉Slim is back he has awesome content, love the cabin work too!!!!! I even like the cooking ideas

[@arleneesserine1766]

waiting foe new video i know takes time but some of us miss your adventures even if its only about the cabin hows the weather what projects are you getting done how about all those trees that came down on the property how are making planks out of those trees going hows the new addition going did you start the path down to the lake so many questions waiting waiting waiting is hard when you want updates even if its a short note posted on you comminuty board

[@sylviau7901]

Doesn’t matter what you film, travel adventures, nature or cabin renovations. Your creative genius and meditative narrations makes your channel one of the most underrated. Thank you for bringing entertainment and joy into our lives. You’re 1 in a million🤩

[@peterdaly6560]

Slim, you're doing great. Keep it up. As an electrician for the last 52 years, I always keep this thought in the back of my mind while working. "Why do we never have time to do it right, but always have time to do it over?" It makes me go a little slower and hopefully make a few less mistakes. I hate doing things twice. It doesn't look good to the customer, and it can be costly. Thank you for all the great videos. I enjoy them all very much.

[@hgj2019]

Slim, I admire so many things about you. Your sensitivity, your values, your persistence, and so much more. I especially like that you were willing to repair that old chair, and milling that storm-fallen wood are exactly the kind of things I do. I’m an old retired guy and I feel certain if we lived near each other we would be good friends. Sadly, I live in the Southeast U.S., many miles from Canada, so I’ll have to be satisfied with being friends through YT. I know there are many others who admire you at least as much as I, if not more! Please keep doing what you do! We will all be waiting and watching with heartfelt appreciation.

[@paulsccna2964]

For some reason. The music and sped-up video is hilarious, in a good way.

[@JoseHernandez-io7pr]

I always appreciate the fact that you try and aren’t afraid to tackle projects. It helps me to do the same! Keep it going. Love the videos!👍🏻

[@RedCapWoodpecker]

To me, you’re a real super Renaissance man. An ingenious engineer (the homemade ventilation fans!), innovative craftsman (pine cone door handles!) competent mechanic, heartfelt music lover, artistic cameraman, teacher, nature film producer (the delicate frozen bubbles!) and presenter with a wonderfully clear narrative voice. Thank you for all these inspiring videos, sir!

[@Beruthiel45]

Never boring Slim. I always enjoy your videos, but I admit I enjoy the cabin ones a little bit more than the travelling ones. I'm 80 next year and prefer nesting and making home places more comfortable than being out on the road in my decrepitude. You're so optimistic and looking forward to the new growth after you lost part of your forest last year. Same here. Our huge blue spruce succumbed to a storm, and now I'm potting up babies that have sprouted in my garden for my family members to plant in their gardens. Mother Nature for the win. 🤗 Hope all goes well with your continued cabin renovation. 👍☺️

[@Glyn69]

Great video slim, and even though you're hard at work, you still managed to bring nature into the video with your trail cam and capturing the wild flowers. Look forward to watching your progress on the extension after the storm has passed. Greetings from Thailand , keep safe 🙏

[@patriciacerwin6266]

Just love watching you work at "warp" speed! I don't know how anyone does such projects by themselves. You do amazing work, even with all the "duh" moments. Nice to see a current video. We missed you.

[@ladikmk]

Nothing boring about your videos Slim. It's always interesting to see what you've been up to and how you're progressing with the cabin. Your selection of music this time had me chuckling - I envisioned everything from Led Zeppelin, polka accordion, to Charlie Chaplin dancing across your screen in time to the music. The little fawn is precious and will be nice to see how she/he grows this Summer. You take care too and enjoy the Summer as well. Thanks for sharing.

[@Jeh110]

Welcome back! I love that you repurpose/re use! It adds to the charm. Also, the new lumber- fruits for your labor. I am jealous of all that cedar! Another great video. Thank you

[@icloud778]

Glad to see you back !! I couldn’t care less what you are doing, just enjoy your attitude and an always interesting show. As a fellow camper and a retired building/ hvac contractor I am always impressed with your ability to come up with great new ideas to fix the issues. I first found you a few years back when I was fighting a bout with cancer. I spent many days catching up on your older videos. Never viewed one I didn’t like. Keep it up my friend. Ron from north Georgia

[@greyangelpilot]

I've akwatys said, #SlimPotatohead is like the #MrRogers of the Camping world. It's always soothing, simple yet cathartic in a Teachable Moment kinda way ~ ! Keep up the Flooring Boring Slim for those of us who appreciate a bit slower, simpler pacing ~ !

[@emmamorgan7171]

Glad you had a productive break but you were missed! Great video of all your hard work - love your respect for Mother Nature; wins me over every time - Thanks Slim. :)

[@Open2OpenUT]

Love, love, loved this video 😀👏👏. Don’t be gone so long Slim we missed you. I really enjoy watching your cabin build, I’m so glad you left in the screw-ups, good to know you make them too 😂. Can’t wait to see the next phase, don’t be too long getting back to us. 👍😄☘️☘️🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️

[@chrisdalebout5106]

I like to the words you use to explain what you are doing, and seeing. You always add descriptive words. The music this time was absolutely perfect. The attitude you project is very calming. 👍🙂

[@scottbryant2235]

Great video! Inspired me to comment by your choice in little music plugs. Showing a common feller how to be a common feller thing on a budget. Incedible work in making this video.!

[@karincorbin2355]

It is more fun to watch other people’s mistakes than to fix my own. The same thing applies to doing repairs 😂

[@marilynrenaud1892]

Green has always been my favorite color too! Slim, you have incredible skills and intelligence to do anything you set your mind to...and everything you touch turns out beautifully. Your cozy little cabin has and is coming along wonderfully. I just love it.

[@paulr.3220]

I was more than halfway through before I realized the beard was gone. Fixing the old chair was something I would have done and surely would have faced criticism for. I can't help it. Fixing things is what I do. Love your videos. Pablo

[@robertchapman6822]

It must be great to be like potato and have so much interesting stuff to say that people don’t pay attention to the physical appearances

[@kimclark3931]

Slim, I just have to say it speaks to your straightforward, honest approach that you included redoing where you’d made mistakes. Many would have simply left those out of the film. One of the many reasons I watch, and continue to go back & rewatch, all your work on KZbin. Keep well! A fan from Rhode Island

[@salopianblue8765]

Never watched a Slim video that I didn’t enjoy. Always enjoy them to the last second and always wish they were longer.

[@joycejohnson1396]

I still can’t get over how beautiful the cabin is. You should be proud of yourself. Keep up the great work. I enjoy seeing your videos.

[@susanchapman4231]

Personally, I don't hold you to a schedule. I am grateful for each video you publish. I have always enjoyed them. As for today's, I think it may have been a good idea to put a layer of bubble foil under the plywood, to help with insulation. Take care Slim!

[@frozenbbfan]

Love it when a new Slim video comes out. I was in the process of watching all of his old videos again and was up to #122 on the list when I got the notification he had a new one. Bonus!

[@larrygilbert7273]

Putting the floor deck down on an addition like that is like putting up drywall in a framed house. It finally starts to look like something usable.

[@joannsilva4715]

It is always great when a new Tator video comes out! We learn & grow from mistakes, everyone does it! Baby fawn was so cute & your goofy critter names are too! Wondered why you looked so different, you buzzed off your fur, liked the go tee! Place is looking good, got a few chuckles from your shenanigans and as always, entertaining content! ❤

[@Troutay]

Always entertaining! Great to see the work on the cabin and we all got an extra giggle in there too! Never a dull moment with Slim.

[@karenlarson380]

Slim. You made my day with this latest video. It is fascinating to see your vision and quality of workmanship. Looking forward to your next video.

[@carriemainquist757]

Squirrelly Temple! Beautiful fawn & ferns. Glad to be back at the cabin with you Slim.

[@stephen.mcguire]

Ouch, that had to hurt, while I laughed at the blooper, I winced too. Thanks for the update and for sharing. Really cool how things came together. Looking forward to seeing the rest of it.

[@gene_takavic57]

The cabin is coming along nicely, Slim! Amazingly, you've done this all yourself.

[@tippyg266]

Hey Slim A couple of years ago while watching "cruising the cut "about narrow boats someone asked him what he watches on utube and you were one of his top picks.. Your name was interesting so I checked it out, and haven't missed an episode!! Your travels whether on the road or out into your yard are always interesting, amusing, and always shows the Slim Effect ! Thank you for taking us along on all your travels and adventures!

[@anybodyoutthere3208]

Going to say it again…..I LOVE the cabin videos Really super helpful! And I love seeing your progress Slim ❤🎉

[@thizizliz]

Slim "MacGyver" Potatohead! Whoohooo. i always enjoy the way you sort things out. Never mind that you're not professional - the research you do, combined with your focus on safety makes for solid builds.

[@jjones5424]

OUCH!!! That looked like it might have hurt. I will be patient in waiting for your next video because your narrative and video creation is right up there with the best!! The cabin is looking great too!!!

[@brucewallace3860]

Awesome video! Thank you for reminding me that I’m not the only one who makes these simple mistakes! Cheers to newborns!

[@barbgilbart7945]

Started watching your channel, for your camping adventures, but amazed at how much I learn and enjoy your solo cabin building adventures! Lucky you to experience a new family on your property! Mom deer feels safe around you!

[@ronspaid9980]

Doesn’t look you give yourself much of a break, thanks for reminding me about the importance of double checking your work and thanks for videos that keep your same attention to detail.

[@CarrieMtn]

While watching the video- I was impressed with the way you jumped up on the finished floor. I thought to myself- “how many times did he have to do that to get it to look so smooth?” Your blooper at the end answered my question- thanks for adding it.

[@debbierauska7010]

Please kept the videos coming!! I enjoy seeing your progress on the Cabin!

[@pattiwhite9575]

It is looking so nice up there this time of year. I hope your taking time to get out the canoe and having a little adventure soon. Glad your finding your errors and addressing them now. Maybe you need a white board to write out the steps in order so that you don't forget a step. Senior moments can kill a plan. lol I really am happy you are saving all the downed trees that you can and re using some. Wise man.

[@ManWander]

gotta love that "can-do" attitude!

[@n8rlvr876]

Always good to see a new Slim vid up!! You are so resourceful!! Nice work!!👍🏻👍🏻

[@meinschatzi8978]

Loved your choice of music in this video - it fit wonderfully!!!

[@debralane7408]

Music was a nice touch. I like the wine of the guitar.

[@Janer-52]

Squirly Temple!!! Great name. Always love a work video. I appreciate your showing the "re-do" when needed. We all have them, and it's nice to be reminded most everything can be fixed. Please keep filming.

[@susanstrickland6774]

Really nice job!! As always. That's going to be very nice. Great cabin. Darn rain. Awe, a fawn, precious. Take care. 🙂👍

[@dma9646]

PROGRESS at every turn. Positivity pays!! Congratulations 😊

[@contrafax]

"You always have fun! " That is the point, thank you for having us along.

[@larriettausa]

Holy cow you have been a busy beaver with all that wood. Love it. ❤

[@TyanWyss-Lockner]

Wish I could do my house fixer-upper projects that fast! Great to see you working on your BIG project, Slim! Love your 'blooper' at the end! LOL!

[@sylviajones4907]

Thank you for your teaching tips along the way. Trippin' on the variety of music 😂. So many moods there. Great video!

[@denisewade8775]

Hi Slim. We just want to let you know that we are enjoying your videos. Keep up the great job. Bill and Denise from Canada

[@northernoutdoorsmandave9067]

A true blue nature lover. Love your videos Slim.

[@lindaroyal8161]

I'm glad to see work progressing on the cabin - I like that little place.

[@plove523]

Ouch! That leap of faith looked a bit painful. Loved the visitor log of your furry friends and the baby fawn was so precious ❤❤❤. I’m glad you gave the porch chair a new lease on life. When I see old things like that I wonder about it’s past and the people it held. It looks like nature is recovering well with sunlight getting to the forest floor. Do you have fiddlehead ferns? They are so yummy.

[@austinformedude]

These are just as good as the camping videos! Thanks for taking us on the journey!

[@SarahWRah]

That's an impressive supply of lumber...geez, that was a LOT of work!

[@bensouthwell1339]

My granny had the brother of that worn out chair it was painted red and greenand lasted at least 150 years that I know of here in the North of England ,,,, but never was it left out to the elements. Wonderful video Slim.

[@mardelrick4534]

Glad you are having fun even if it is working on the cabin.

[@tamimessaoudi851]

Welcome back. I was checking daily for your video. Love watching them. Thank you for your hard work on getting us videos.

[@susanadams-wauro6716]

Slim!! Great video...your music selection had something for everyone! Love that you explained your errors and how to remedy same. Cheers from Ontario 👏

[@jax-zm1bb]

Missed you so much. Glad you remembered us.

[@coastkat1742]

So glad to have my favorite blogger back again. Hope you enjoyed your “vacation “

[@missymutt3046]

Slim! What the heck! We were getting a little worried. Thank God for a new video! Good to see you

[@jwebbw]

Slim's back and he's working on the Potato Villa again. And I guess it will have wait till next year where Slim throws a house party with his viewers celebrating his cabin while throwing back a few frosty's.

[@FarrellMcGovern]

I love the variety of music!!! I've played guitar and a few other instruments for 40+ years now, and I have learned that there are only two types of music...good music and bad music. And even that is subjective. My music collection is as eclectic as your music selection in this video, and I love that. Great video! Thanks!

[@andreaandiwilliams9232]

I got so excited seeing you had posted a video!!! I know life gets busy and you sure have been that. Your yard is looking good and the extension is looking good. Looking forward to another video and hope your projects go well and hassle free.

[@ramonapuckett3059]

Thanks, Slim, for a great video. I always like your cabin renovations and the trail camera was super fun! Oh and I do like the traveling videos, too, it’s always fun to see where you travel and the adventures you have ❤

[@oldgandy5355]

You do things just like I do, including fixing the mistakes. If I ever get it right the first time, it will be the first time! ( I cut that window header off three times and it's STILL too short!) And yes, you do need a separate shop. I'm looking forward to that build. Stay happy!

[@billdee6398]

Ah …..You’re A Master Handyman/Carpenter/Auto-Mechanic/Videographer… Talented Dude 😎 I Really Enjoy Your Show !!!

[@haroldluther2676]

Sound track is fine, well done. Fantastic set of tools. I really enjoy your videos Slim.

[@bypinkerton892]

Thanks Slim... I Loved It.... Especially the Deer & Fawn...

[@wrxs1781]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video Slim, you are doing things that also interest myself. I will wait impatiently for the cabin extension videos.

[@geraldpenix940]

Slim I really enjoy the travel videos but the cabin restoration and new builds really excite me to watch the progress.

[@LOT9T]

About time you gave Slim a ✔. Well earned Slim enjoy the respite(pleasant kind) from the road! Thx for the video as always! Love the springtime

[@vandersnickmcduffle7333]

Unique music choices this time! Love the cabin videos.

Wonderful to see you back, Slim! Had started worrying about if you were okay. Great to see your addition finally coming along too! Now ya got me wanting to start building something!!!

[@eileenfostel2645]

Looking lovely with all of the light green! I must say your cabin is a true gem! I always enjoy your videos!

Love watching your videos man 👍 from across the pond 🇬🇧🇨🇦 ✊

[@theicangram]

OmGosh! "Take two!" Bet that left a bruise! Pretty sure if we lived close we would be great friends. Love your approach on tasks and love for adventure/videography. I also love learning about new items to build and create with and I had never seen your posts before. Those are pretty cool.

[@fynyxdezine524]

The place is looking great. Keep up the great work, and thank you for sharing your adventures, both big and small!

Green is an awesome favorite color isn't it? Nice progress!

[@KevLaswiss-ek6zt]

Nice you find Bambi sleeping the extra room will be nice as you pop out the window cut down too the floor the window opening it becomes a door

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

You accomplished a lot while cleaning up around the cabin! Great progress on the addition to!

[@dadadit]

You are selling yourself short Slim. You have unimaginable construction talent and an amazing ability to fix just about anything. That's why I am such a fan!

[@leedanielson7452]

Slim looks like a new man!!! Greetings from Fl!!!😊👍👏🏻

[@kimclark3931]

Nice to see your face again!

[@stevekunz6573]

Heavy metal with a hammer intro? Brilliant!

[@Ritterkritterz]

Nice job Slim! Koodos for correcting the warps abd mistakes instead of half-a$$ing it. Quality. 😊 I enjoyed the video.

[@williamdickman7917]

Good to see ya again Slim. One suggestion though, you should screw down the floor plywood to keep the future squeaks from happening as nails work loose over time and use which results in floor squeaks.

[@sewashburn0529]

It has been over a year since I have seen one of your videos. I've always enjoyed watching them, but KZbin in all of wisdom decided to quit showing them to me. After a while I sadly forgot about your channel. Recently your channel popped back into my head, and after much effort I have found it again (it wasn't easy)! This time I made sure to subscribe so I don't lose you again. My, how the cabin has come along! Now I've got a lot of catching up to do!

[@taurota1554]

Awesome and outstanding content as always.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

[@chick-a-bee-farm]

Loved watching the floor go in and all the different types of music that you choose to go along with it. I didn't hear any Polka, but I think you had everything else! ;-)
