Cabin Goes from Drab to Fab!

[@mycelticstardust]

A beautiful carpet will add color that will draw your eye away from the imperfections, everything you have done so far has really changed the room to rustic elegance! It will look amazing when you are done!

[@pamvancleave6722]

It looks beautiful. You should feel quite proud of your work❤

[@roseport20001]

The chinking is Fabulous!! It makes the walls stand out and be seen.

[@bilakemrisner]

i Love you construction DIY videos that is what going on in your life at that time. Please don't stop all your content is good I like a little of this and that its never boring. The only problem is I want more videos lol

[@marciabullock5913]

Love seeing you bring the cabin to life!!! Don’t apologize. The cabin renovations are so great to watch.

[@trutsieo5430]

I haven’t minded watching the bathroom remodel at all. There’s a learning curve. If you get the chance one day, you can change the flooring to something else. If not, you’ll move on to another project with the knowledge you gained. I am loving the outside light!!! You are doing a great job!

[@chezj4]

I love watching you doing construction - that is your life 😀

[@63Clocks]

Incredible work, Alone! The room is really being transformed, I love it! My heart goes out to your knees though. If you will be doing more flooring, pls add knee pads to your Amazon wish list (in case Santa wants to gift you a pair ). Keep up the great work!

[@lisafrancis7534]

I personally love the construction videos...they are very good info for all us DIY folks it looks sooo good

[@denisedutcher4897]

I loved watching the progress you make in these projects! You inspire me to do better. It looks great!😃

[@janetdeniseezell6019]

No! Don’t stop, I love your construction videos! Can’t wait to see the finished project.

[@Set-Apart-By-Grace]

I haven't been enduring the bathroom reconstruction, I've been enjoying it! Love how it's turning out! God bless! ❤

[@zanneizzo8113]

I like your construction videos and how you troubleshoot issues.

[@sarahschlosser1203]

The walls turned out great and the flooring looks good, your floors aren't all even which I am sure is part of the problem. You are doing a great job!

[@jackbrown7341]

You do very nice work, I'm sure all will turn out favorable. I'm not a fan of dark floors either, but it will serve its purpose. I like all of your videos, seeing you does my heart good. Stay safe until your next video. Jack 😃 😎😇

Beautiful video of the snow fall in-the forest of birch.

[@roseannaboyce7120]

I love your hair color ❤

[@callumortiz6723]

Working on your cabin is Alaskan life.

[@deniseellenburg649]

The bathroom is looking wonderful!!

[@kevinwiley9696]

Nice Job Alone!! I like the wall!!

[@lovinYah838]

I LOVE your construction renovation videos ❤

[@BettyKoehler-zg5sv]

Great idea for your snow pole! I have a log home, too, and the chinking is cracking with age. The cabin is 38 years old. I had the outside corn blasted 3 years ago, and it took it down to the bare logs. The same company restained it, and put a sealer on it. It looks like a new cabin, and am glad I had it done for maintenance reasons. Wow! Your wall looks fantastic!! The bathroom construction has been very interesting…not to “endure” at all! It is, after all, part of you life in Alaska! Not to fret about your floor seams…once your furniture and fixings are in, you won’t notice them. Your outside light is going to come in real handy! Great video!!! Love from Pennsylvania 💕🌷🐻

[@CountryCampers]

Love snow , wintertime can be so magical. especially with the surrounding views you have,

[@BessieMann]

Oh wow snow I love what you have done on the wall. Take care

[@coloradopackratprepper]

If your life is doing construction at the moment then i think thats what you should show!!!! Supposively we were gonna get 5 ' of snow this weekend but knock on wood it has not happened!!!!!

[@MrsSmith-eb3zh]

You are so talented! I like the traditional color that you chose. It looks great. Good job!

[@Anon-mk4ms]

FYI, the visible light spots in the floor, try running a pencil over them, the graphite will darken them and they'll be less noticeable.

[@lonnieann8536]

Hi! I love the bone color on the log wall. Very nice!!!!

[@almaritagaleone8130]

Looks Beautiful!! Hard work, and well done !!

[@annahoover5296]

🎉looks amazing,you did a good job.

[@maryh1421]

Having lived in the south all my life, its hard for me to imagine having to have a snow pole to measure snow. The deepest I have ever seen was 6 inches 1 time. We haven't had any snow in Georgia in several years. I hope it continues to stay in Alaska. 😅

[@pdk9075]

I’ve enjoyed your bathroom project and all the creativity you have put into it. Love the ideas and looks great!

[@livingintheforest3963]

WOW GORGEOUS!!!! Be careful use a mask!!!

[@lindageorge6174]

Are you making that room to be more than a bathroom? It is so big! You're doing a great job! You're such a hard worker! ! 💞

[@desiremontgomery2762]

Another lefty so nice to see.... lefties are very creative 🎉

[@nancyschwartz892]

An area rug will cover up all irregularities. Agree about the dark colours….everything shows up!

[@desiremontgomery2762]

I love watching what you do everything you do is just wonderful

[@blacksprucecabinak]

I love the snow pole idea. I am definitely going to do that and smart thinking on how you marked it.

[@rhondadewilde2657]

With the seams and chips.... a chisel edge sharpie in the tan - gray colors helps!!! Blend by doing a skip mark (_____ _ ______) idea... so it's not a solid line. Work light colors first. When those seams show, use the darkest color first and that should help camo them for you. Good luck! The remodel/repairs is good info for anyone anywhere. You're doing great!!!

[@bethanyeaton9835]

The chinking is beautiful!

[@gloriamoore766]

Your treatment of the logs looks great! Good job.

[@freddiederose4990]

I’m loving the construction videos

[@loisfromohio3109]

Love the way the chinking looks. I painted the chinking in my cabin also. Went with a creamy white and love it. I used a stain, not the thin kind the real thick coverage.

[@deniseellenburg649]

Rugs are your solution! LOL

[@lynsmith2698]

Great job, it looks fantastic. The chinking looks really good. You may consider the vinyl planting that doesn’t click. We call it drop and flop. It’s flexible and you glue it down. If a piece gets damaged you can pull it up. We really like it. Bit Home Depot, at least in our area doesn’t carry it, Anyways you bathroom is awesome. 🌷🇨🇦

[@desiremontgomery2762]

You doing a marvellous job

[@bartbritz8078]

Thanks for sharing...dark floor...mmm...nice work

[@callumortiz6723]

I love love love your bathroom!

[@Gary-hi5xr]

Lookin real good girl. Great job.

[@ashleyanderson2859]

Walls look great

[@vickieyoung7122]

I think the floor looks great...I have seen seams in this kind of flooring when installed by professionals so it's pretty normal. I think I would use paint to fix the chip places..

[@marianfrances4959]

Awesome Video! 👍😎🇨🇦✨️

[@1968alaskan]

I enjoy your construction videos. That light is amazing. We might have to get one of those. Last trip up at the cabin, we walked back to the outhouse and surprised a bear. (or it surprised us) Luckily we went opposite directions. We do have motion sensor lights out there, but nothing we can scan with. That is pretty cool. We use high powered flashlights, and or headlamps currently.

[@judyrosy]

looks awesome. Use a sharpie to hide the white lines in the seams of the flooring!! : )

[@cheryldowner4834]

Looking beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@nancykay6318]

Try the Magic Marker to cover your seams. It will work on many plastics.

[@ifigeniaplatanopoulou9048]

Hallo from Greece , I have a dark wooden floor ! and yes it is a nightmare!!!!

[@MountainMariner]

First snow!

[@happyinfidel1]

I have my starlink on the bottom edge of my roof. Mind you I have had it since early beta testing, and it is heated so snow isnt an issue. and I use it for messenger ,video calling. No data.. And it is going to be phone friendly soon. Move it to the edge of your roof.. they are tough.. your speeds will double. And that light looks like one I bought for my truck, for construction deliveries, but in fact never used.. wasn't cheap either.. Have a good winter.

[@copperpenny7526]

Very nice!

[@kristos1bahamas413]

great job

[@joliewood9359]

Yes!!!! Beautiful. How many square feet is your bathroom? It seems huge. ❤

[@Koali2011]

Alone, might you consider, since your current project, the bathroom, since it seems so large, as you age, those stairs to your current bedroom could become quite a challenge and danger even if you have perfect stairs, to set your bedroom up in your new bathroom?

[@livingintheforest3963]

I really like this channel because I’m learning a lot about Handyman works since I’m a female and I don’t know much. That is my weak spot. Have to rely on contractors all the time and I hate it. They are just shills.

[@deborahb.3736]

take a can of stain and and roll it over the flooring. then go back and touch up the lighter spots. there are no perfect houses Alone.. even new houses have flaws and defects. it's what makes your house unique.. these little things. as long as it's clean and comfy... ?

[@wyldmountainrose840]

The floor looks great! I think I would go over the white with a marker that matches the floors so it didn't catch the eye so much. The chinking really made the logs look like a feature. I am looking forward to the next steps.

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

There is one big trailer I did with a flooring that the boss made me buy which was cheap and it was real thin I ended up having to Brad nail down the whole floor cause it kept coming apart that thin stuff is garbage I like thicker the better I even had one floor almost the same as what you're talking about I had to put stain on a rag and wipe the seams to get it to hide the seams

[@juliajohnson6022]

The chinking looks good. How are you going to drain your tub? That outdoor light brings into focus how dark it gets out in the wilderness. I wonder if linoleum would work better. You could put an area rug across it.

[@annahoover5296]

Hello Alone

[@mzay1608]

I am not sure if it is from the light, but it looks like your hair has some lavender hue/highlights?

[@livingintheforest3963]

I noticed that too. It actually looks really pretty. She could do a lot of colors with that beautiful platinum hair but I think it’s just the lighting.☺️

[@karenbobrowski1285]

So you won’t have any plumbing in the bathroom, will you have a composting toilet?

[@joannewolfe5688]

Very dark flooring color. I'm surprised you didn't go with something lighter and warmer in tone to lighten the room on dark winter days. I would have gone with a warm golden oak that had a lot of grain in it for visual interest. Grain also makes any flaws that happen when you lay the floor less noticeable. My advice: never go with a "solid" color that doesn't show woodgrain: First, it looks fake. Second, as you noted, later in the video, every speck of everything shows up. In terms of fitting flooring up against the wall, I would have simply left a small gap and put in baseboard. You can use a simple straight board for baseboard -- no need to pay for expensive trim. I have laid a LOT of plank flooring. If you get good quality, it will hold up well. You should not be able to see WHITE lines in the laid floor -- that tells me you went with a cheaper quality flooring. However, I wouldn't worry -- those lines will soon collect dirt and stop being so visible. 😊 Well, that's how we learn -- by doing! BTW, the chinking color looks fabulous!

[@kevinwiley9696]

Alone, you said the magic fix…….Colored Sharpie to at least change the color of the seam. After a while, you won’t even see it!!

[@kimberlycampbell7613]

It looks great! Next time paint the floor the same color as your planks and then you won’t see the lines

[@bethgruenewald7463]

Looking great! Your chinking solution fits the room beautifully!

[@connielipp8648]

Hi Alone, I agree with you that the chinking color really does complement the logs. So sorry about the flooring. I positive is that you discovered in this one room before starting on the rest of the cabin.. You are so creative.. you'll probably figure out what to do in the area where the greatest distraction on the flooring is. I love watching your building videos too. None of them have been boring to me.. Til next week.. Hi to Kenai too : )

[@MuddButtandTheMutt]

Love the entire room with all you have done!! Just a FYI, light flooring shows everything as well. I have a light gray in my dry tiny and it is horrible. It shows absolutely everything! Purple highlights?? Am I seeing things? Like them too but was surprised and had to clean my glasses to make sure lol! Great job as always. Have a wonderful day

[@PoorMansHomesteadCanadaBC1961]

I used to install that flooring in all our RVS love it so easy put down but my boss always liked to go cheap on it and what I've found is don't go cheap on it cuz it don't like danger lock harder always pops apart thicker the better even had one trailer that I didn't nice thick interlocking flooring being that it was a small trailer the cost wasn't that bad but it even suffered flood damage and the floor still stood up yes some some of the seemed curl the very very little but I was amazed at how good it stood up after being flooded from a big flood we had in town😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
