It is a very nice video

[@Fab50VanLife]

Excellent build out. Placing the wrap first is diffidently by far the best idea keeping moisture at a minimum.

[@TruckHouseLife]

Looks great dude! Can't wait to rally with you once it's finished this winter!

[@rickvanderlingen8799]

Awesome video again! Excited for more videos like this in the coming winter!

[@ryanwatson263]

Nice work. Am loving this build so far and excited to see the rest.

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Right on, glad to hear that.

[@cuocsonglangnoigogang]

Your resilience in overcoming the challenges of building your tiny cabin on wheels, especially with the rain almost ruining your plans, is truly inspiring. Watching you tackle such obstacles with determination and creativity speaks volumes about your dedication and craftsmanship. Your ability to adapt and finish the roof in just three days is a testament to your hard work and perseverance. And I am Floating Village Life.

Great job guys 👍💪,

[@msimonse]

build to fit, always works. also , best music on utube.

[@LetlotloBotswe]

I love your work ❤

[@lidijabirsa7768]

Looks awesome Matt. I'm sure you and your lovely family (including Norman 🐾❣️) will have wonderful memories thanks to this Tiny cabin on wheels! Cheers 💚

[@philipwolf3619]

Well done!

[@amyslowikgrossman835]

17:59 is my absolute favorite song of yours, Matt. I love this project. I'm curious to see how well it holds up after a few road trips. I hear from RV owners that that is the biggest wear/tear on their RV is the road travel.

[@WorldWideWillem-360]

To save weight, if your rafters are spaced the same as your studs, there is no need for a double top-plate. That's only necessary when your studs are 16" apart and your rafters 24", a common choice for garages and such. Douglas Fir is much stronger than SPF (spruce, pine, fir) lumber. Again regarding weight you could have looked at Hemlock, very heavy when green, but pretty light after a year drying out. And those remaining pieces of floor boards are heavy too. The density of Douglas Fir has the disadvantage of easier splitting, so yes, you should pre-drill.

[@Doc1855]

Looks great so far. It will be interesting to watch you finish your project

[@bridgethenry4688]

Your ending comments made me cry. Love you and your little family.

[@sburns3814]

I like it! What an awesome experience for yourself and family! Take your new little on out to explore our earth

[@DarrenVaughan-j6j]

Porter Cable baby!!!! I have been using it for 24 years. It’s never let me down. Great build!! Looking forward to seeing how it turns out. Thanks for bringing us along!!!😊

[@terrywilliams7825]

Awesome job, thanks for sharing. Nice to appreciate and celebrate people in life while they are living 😊

[@skeetermalcolm1655]

I can't wait to see the rest of the build brother, looks great

[@edmundoroman8918]

Great video. Can't wait til the next one. Cabin on wheels is looking good.

[@brendabinczewski7624]

Looking good. It will be very nice and comfy

[@itsTHEFIREDOG]

when the staples fell out I fuckin lost it lol... Been in that exact same situation and I remember just staring at the ground at the fallen staples for like 5 minutes

[@samhill3496]

Good vid. Like the construction. New hardware and materials really help. Pretty big inside. Timmy will be envious. Just the beginning. Put a 90 degree aluminun drop edge all the way around it. Seal it up tight. Those rafters can really be a pita. Measure and draw, ten times. All good

[@DDL2728]

Love your channel!! Great job editing! Great content!! God bless y'all ♥️🙏♥️👍

[@goodjobbybobby]

"I get by with a little help from my friends", had to sing it in my head! Looks good, maybe some day we'll see you in passing up there.

[@lupettozonzolante]

Che bello, i miei complimenti per il video 🐺

[@jasonwier7719]

There should be a jack studs under the ends of your window sills. Keep on with the keepin on!

[@WorldWideWillem-360]

Under the window sills, those are the "cripples". The "jack posts" are the ones supporting the header above the window. They were put in.

[@debrademedici864]

I always love your videos and the amazing work you do !!!! Thanks so much for taking me along !!!! Your baby is getting big !!!!

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Thank you! She’s actually tiny still, just hiding in her big sleeping bag bear 😂

[@ellaashby5159]

Good work as always. Can't wait for your first trip out. I would venture to say you will never be finished with this build. Reason being, I think you will always be improving and adding to this tiny house cause your full of ideas and once you take it on the road you will always be wanting to impove it. Great work . Your so interesting to watch.

[@SPCLPONY]

I've been thinking about a cabin structure permanently attached to a trailer frame to move around my farm property here on the NY / Pa line. I have several scenic spots up high where the view into the valley is stunning. I have an old 21' camping trailer from the 70's that I'd like to strip down to the floor. From there, I'd like to buy a log cabin already built that would fit and secure it to my frame. I'd use the existing waste tank and plumbing system, as well as the propane system for the furnace and a few lights. Of course, I don't plan on mine ever being towed on the road. Just here in my fields and woods. Thanks for sharing your build.

[@SuperJaguar7777]

Hi brother I now because you was with Timmy I follow Timmy for 4 years he’s go so I star watching you now I like nice 👍 I’m from Orlando Florida

[@nickh402]

Looks great!

[@dannyb2783]

Nice to see someone using tyvek on these builds. Seems like every tiny cabin build i see online just ignores it and slaps some T1-111 siding up with no vapor or moisture barrier.

[@melinda5777]

Really enjoyed this!❤

[@alaskacabinadventures]

Thanks! Glad you liked it

[@melinda5777]

@@alaskacabinadventures I'm looking to do something like this in Maine, until I get a cabin built.

[@koalafan1576]

@9:44 a router with flush trim bit would work super well. Much better than the sawza.

[@donnamarotta6160]

Started watching you after seeing you with Timmy / Truck House Life

[@MultiBigDenis]

It is better than the edges of the plywood and the place where the upper layer of plywood is damaged, to cover with some kind of waterproof layer, in plywood such places are very extensively extended by deformation due to moisture.

[@harrytraction1380]

So cool to watch this from just a flat bed to a cabin🤙🏼

[@larryshaver3568]

i like your red and white shed i wish mine had the doors on an end instead of the side

[@jerrod1982]

Watching your mistakes made me laugh becuse I always do the same things when I try to do something with lumber. lol

[@gaddobronx6740]

The trailer cabin is coming along nicely. But noticed the back wall where the tow hitch is, it's completely flat. When you tow your cabin, there is gonna be huge wind drag.

[@ДмЮнит]

Hey! Good job on the cabin! I have a few suggestions, ive seen in other builds, people user router for cuttiung windows form the inside, it makes clean and flush cut, and maybe you should add diagonal flat straps wall bracings from the inside?

[@melonyrichards937]

I can't wait to see you do some videos in that tiny cabin on Wheels that's going to be awesome . And I just realized who you remind me of. It's been racking my brain forever. You remind me of house . That guy that played a doctor in a series ? Anyway awesome video.

[@hollyword41]

If you watch Truck House Life videos, Timmy has a solution for protecting his wooden truck cabin that works for him in Alaska weather. Hope the mild situation didn't get worse.

[@steffen707-]

Dude, you NEED an impact driver!😅

[@seanwhalen5011]

To save you time next time, on one in the world of framing pre-drills. We use torx decking screw or timber locks and it almost never splits, and if it does it was a shit piece of wood anyway.

[@FrenchToastedz]

11:42 wife to the rescue! Again 😅

[@TXHemi99]

FYI - Stachybotrys (Deadly Black Mold) is normally found only on Citrus and Tabaco, so I would thing that the microbial growth that you had was something less dangerous. With my years of testing microbial growth I would guess (There is really no way of knowing with out sending a sample to a lab)that is was penicillium aspergillus (the mold that penicillin is made from). That is one of the most common type found on lumber in houses. There are only 2 ways to get rid of it. Use a fungicide and/or incapsulate it. To incapsulate it (without fungicide) use Dawn Dishwashing Soap with scrub brush on the area, rise, and dry. Run a dehumidifier and fans until dry. Then incapsulate with a heavy coat of oil base paint, the oil base paint will cut of the oxygen to the mold and cause it to go dormant. PS - Bleach and chlorine does not kill mold. You need a Fungicide or starve it by cutting off one of it living sources Food, Water, or Air. usually Air is the easiest. I use a sealant (Usually Red Guard) when I and build something out of wood that will be exposed to the elements.

[@VincentCevasco]

Just want to start by saying hello, my name is Vincent Cevasco, Im 57 and disabled living in South Florida & hate it here. I have been in construction my entire life, building schools, hospitals, colleges, etc. I am a person, just like you, when it comes to helping people & I really enjoy you video's something greatly. You are living a long life dream of mine. Im in the middle of a overland build out of a 4x4 Isuzu Rodeo that I got from a neighbor with a dead engine for $500 and im rebuilding it myself. The engine is already rebuild & doing a full interior restoration. Im fully qualified in plumbing, electrical, structural, simply said, if you can think it, I can build it. Im telling you this because I really would love to live there and could use the help locating a place to live. I also own a '89 itasca sunflyer 32' RV & getting ready to change my life around for better & im interested in finding land in the outback like where you are. If you are interested in what im offering, I could be a hugh benefit to you, your family & friends. And so you know this is for real, not a joke. I live on disability with a monthly income. My e-mail is [e-mail]. let me know. I can build homes like that blind folded & im not kidding, well drilling, in-door plumbing, water & wind turbines, I know it all & heavily trained in survival & my nick name is Mr. Freeze in case you are wondering how I feel about the weather, the colder the better.Thank you & god bless 😇 🙏 P.S. can also build cabinets, can fix & repair anything as well, a mechanic to all engine's as well you name it, i can build it or fix it & you make me realize how i need need to be around good people like you & hell the fishing, oh the salmon fishing, that video had me drooling, would build a cabin to do that & I have never done that one, im a fly fisherman above all others

[@mgbeck98]

You can flush cut the siding using a router with a flush-cut router bit

[@michaelleonard8060]

No overhang? On your roof?

[@joyyates3949]

I thought the same,he said it can't go over 8.6 so maybe he'll be OK with a drip edge.

[@MultimediaMaxMiami]

The lucky thing was that he was able to take off some of the weight by removing the floorboards, because from what I can see it's already exceeding 4000lb just in wood... wow!!! 🤭😁

[@leoantonio]

Impact driver

[@Jeffreyringgold]

What’s the total weight your truck can handle, transmission and rear differential?

[@davidpatrick1813]

Would Kiltz work on such? Diligence is sure a payoff.

[@tonyz6421]

Yes

[@KM-ws8qs]

You mean Kilz?

[@boredom.victim]

seems fairly simple for anyone who's mechanically inclined - as long as Home Depot delivers 😂

[@MGE9436]

Cutting that board short by 1 inch made me laugh. And sticking the inch back on, great move, problem solved. This is the part of the cabin you will always look at...guarantee 😂

[@ryansheard8092]

I don't understand the Tyvek before the sheeting. Typically is best to put on the Tyvek over the sheeting.

[@rayal902]

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@-joe90]

I think it would have been easier to cut the boards around the bolts with a holesaw of the appropriate diameter. (it is clear that giving an opinion is easier than doing)

[@zrxnuts]

Looks more like mildew

[@joyyates3949]

I thought the same,looks like mildew instead of mold.

[@The.Cycling.Therapist]

Atta boy

[@enzodunn2577]

Curious what it would cost to build this in today's economy in the USA. Lumber has really gone up! Ugh. I want a tiny cabin lol

[@billdipiero787]

Well, the best way to learn is by your mistakes,hopefully, others will learn from your unfortunate experience.

[@mattfedick4632]

How are you planning on pulling that with the snow machines adventures. Two vehicles

[@anthonyvincent9990]

bleach will clean the mold not kill it i know i used to do fire and water restoration. You need a really good mold and mildew killer they have some really good stuff at most big box stores.

[@anthonyvincent9990]

buy that boy a router or a jig saw.

[@dima09922]

Пособие как НЕ надо делать ))) но было интересно ))

[@larryshaver3568]

Is Norman better now?

[@Richieisgoat]

What size is it?

[@NathanJohnson-mk9jr]

I recommend a wind plate at the brunt end of the cabin that will be constantly facing the wind when being pulled.

[@NicholasDube-q9w]

Aren’t you supposed to tyvek over the wall not underneath it?

Good luck man. You seem like an extremely hard working man. But its hard to support to support a channel where your wife is as useful as scrap wood.

[@pathardin7580]

If you were trying to beat the rain; why did you waste time cutting out windows?

[@alaskacabinadventures]

You make a great point 😂…I Was feeling cocky that first day. Glad I did though, so I could climb in to cut out the door after I realized I built myself out.

[@65BAJA]

I thought bleach didn't work on mold? Especially on a porous surface. Vinegar would be a better choice.

[@melinda5777]

Bleach works great on mold! Talk to FEMA in Hurricane Prone America!

[@alaskacabinadventures]

I did some research and, in fact, bleach does work on mold.

[@tonyz6421]

Vinegar not going to work on that

[@KM-ws8qs]

​@@alaskacabinadventuresbleach is temporary, & should be rinsed once in the wood. It definitely will soften & rot wood if not rinsed. Milgo Antimicrobial works permanently. I know people hate advise, but this is coming from a 35+ year experienced mold & mildew damage mitigator.....bleach alone, not good.

[@albertorozco5981]

Your wife should be out there lending a hand 😒
