Building Log Cabin Alone / Start to Finish / 3 Years in 30 Minutes

[@Brandon-w3o]

29 minutes in and I couldn't even look away for a second.... This is one of the most highly impressive and inspirational things I've ever seen! Hats off to you sir!

[@TheK4ptur]

so I assume that you haven't seen what Erik Grankvist did

[@donHooligan]

having a billion dollars worth of property and tools? heck yeah, that's impressive.

[@homestedfrustraions2042]

Yes

[@shleerocks]

Impressive as it gets. I’ve got a lifetime invested in heavy construction projects. You the man. Nothing about that is easy. Smarts, problem solving and heavy labor. Nothing more gratifying. Congratulations

[@prime-mate]

Engineering is not a degree.. It's a mindset...

[@gopnikspace4795]

A man cannot live forever but he can leave things behind that remind his legacy that he was here. Great work friend.... I am still finishing my cabin, i am 25 years old and i am almost done. This cabin has taken me some time but its been a life lesson and has had a huge impact on my life. Wish you the best and you made a great home friend!

[@dirttdude]

building my cabin was a life altering experience, i remember peeling logs at midnight in 12 inches of snow but i also vividly remember the euphoric feeling when i got the roof on.

One of the most beautiful cabin builds I've seen. And your weather-proofing is next level!

[@2michaelgilbert]

Much respect brother! People don't realize the toil and effort and dedication required to accomplish what you've done. You can be proud of that cabin for the rest of your days.

[@genedangerfield702]

Nik, Your work on this cabin brings joy to me. I have been a subscriber from the time I saw the first video. Ingeniously constructing the huge jig from lifted the logs into place was quite impressive. But the most beautiful part of all is realizing that here is a guy with a beautiful family building his dream home with help of true friends, all the while, you are taking the time to shoot video of the surrounding environment of nature, great photography of your family sharing in that hard work, and the beautiful country of Slovenia in the snowy weather and other seasons. I have thoroughly appreciated the meticulously, painstaking time you have allowed to make sure the work is done well and cutting NO corners by not compromising your work. I am watching intensely from America and enjoyed all the details and all you have accomplished with your hard work

[@equuspallidus]

I have watched since you cut down the first tree. At first, after a time, I was not sure I would have the patients to watch the build because it was taking awhile. But that rabbit hole turned into a black hole and I crossed the event horizon. I have thoroughly enjoyed watching your work and dedication to this project. Thank you.

[@Bertrand8260]

🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳me toooo!

[@jamespercival3111]

Cannot believe your attention to every detail! I especially love the way you fit the logs at the corners. I have to admire your dedication to the project on top of day-to-day family commitments.

[@jjohnson2553]

It's been a long time coming Nik. I've been watching since you peeled those first few logs. For someone that doesn't do this for a living, you sure make it look like you've been doing it for a long time. As a retired carpenter I know that we always see the flaws in our own work but what ever flaws you may have had, the job looks excellent from my perspective.

[@dna3575]

Amazing ingenuity and dedication. Very impressive. Also appreciate your nimbleness in avoiding getting crushed by some of those falling logs. Cheers.

[@ErikGrankvist]

Awesome getting this notification! Definitely going to watch this one tonight. Incredible work Nik 🏆

[@GOOSESTORIES]

the case when the other day I watched a video about how you did the basement, and you see your comment on the video here 😃 I remembered the other day an old film, True Lies, in which Schwarzenegger plays the main character, and when meeting in one of the scenes he introduces himself as Harry Renquist 😂 I remembered for a long time where the consonance of surnames in my head came from.

[@carlosdelascuevas6140]

Erik, glad to see you watching Nik's project. It is however of another nature different from yours. Nik does make extensive use of advanced technology and equipment , I th8nk mainly due to the monstrous size of his cabin. However, I have to give you credit for your PROJECT ( yes, with all capitals) the hand tools only type is very unique, and your engineering skills are as impressive as Nik's. Congrats and wish you success in your project! Faithfully, Carlos

[@CryptoRoast_0]

Now we just need Shaun from My Self Reliance and all three of my favourite youtubers will be in one place :)

[@GOOSESTORIES]

@@CryptoRoast_0 I've also been watching My Self Reliance for 3-4 years now.. Of course I was surprised when he left the house with all the buildings and went to another place. your nickname pleased me just listening to Die and die - War and peace. Jungle Fever =D

[@Trident023]

It is so amazing to just watch it grow. I was trying to put my finger on what makes it so special, and all of a sudden I realised: you are not simply “building” a house, you are sculpting it! It is far more a piece of art than a house.

[@GlorifiedGremlin]

If you appreciate the "sculpting" aspect, there's this Swedish kid, he's like 20 years old and he's building a log cabin by hand too, BUT he's only using hand tools. He only wants to use what our forefathers would've used, like hand drills, axes, etc. It's really incredible to watch. I'll go find his channel name if you'd like

[@Jakeer653]

Epic achievement Nik. There is something majestic in building a house.

[@ForestHermit]

The best vacation is outdoor recreation!!

[@76charger63]

Have watched from the beginning and would highly recommend watching everyone of them. The simplicity and remote surroundings make for an inspiring series of how to build a log cabin with not much more than simply tools. Keep it up Nik!

[@Lisboooa]

I want to congratulate, besides you, the person/ons who taught you this honorable craft and instilled in you the work ethic you show. They must be so proud.

[@ggattsr]

Nik, I have watched many videos of log cabin builds on KZbin. The fit and finish of your cabin is in a league all by itself. Even more importantly the creativity and genius you used to get it built without a lot of heavy equipment or a crew of workers, is truly inspiring. I hope your are blessed with many years to enjoy this fruit of your labor. Happy Holidays

[@ConservativeMama0311]

I have so much respect for how hard he worked on this. Amazing

[@Cap513]

Nik, it's been an ENJOYMENT to watch you build this cabin since the beginning. I hope that once you get it completed you continue to make videos about your family & life from there. Thanx For Sharing With US ALL.

[@laliloub]

I nearly cried when I saw you were making your own door! Incredible work, thanks for showing the way 💪!

[@CraigNiel]

Having watched this series from the beginning it brought back some great memories! I would urge anyone that hasn't seen the series to watch from episode one (envious of that!) as this 30 minute video does not do justice to the work Nik has put into this project and there is lots missing in this very short video. You will not be disappointed!

[@electrician1602]

Watching this beautiful journey has been the perfect antidote to the last couple of years. I’ve stayed up long nights transfixed by the sheer scale of this project and the skilful workmanship. Every stage of this build has been huge. Carrying out an inventory of suitable trees, bringing them down, dragging them back, preparing a means of storing them, stripping the bark etc etc. It’s an incredible achievement Nik, I’ll miss it when it’s finished. Inspirational, one of the best things I’ve ever watched on a screen.

[@vr6prodigy]

@@aniketdp6690 what's the problem? This man did the literal most sustainable, least carbon impacting house build one could ask for. Raw logs like this never make it to a mill. Therefore they were never processed, which means no pollution. Houses are made of 100s of different materials, all of which were processed and damaged the environment just to be created. You clearly don't know a thing about life if you think a log cabin is somehow more damaging to the earth.
