EP21: Why I’m taking my cabin apart!

[@careenaalexis]

Excellent video and work as always. I love that you talk more and more in your videos and explain what you're doing and why. Loving your videos, high quality production as always. Congrats on making this dream of yours come to life.

Hey Alexis, your on my watching list!

Thank you, Glad you enjoyed. I got sick of typing this stuff out. Easier just to say it on camera:)

My wife and I have really enjoyed watching all of your videos. We watch a lot of cabin builds on KZbin. Yours is by far the most professional and informative. We also enjoy watching you and your wife on your canoeing and camping trips. Thanks for inspiring us!

[@TrustinTimber]

Thanks so much. So I trust you also found The Timber Life channel then.

[@johnisley1285]

Youth is your asset. Thank goodness you figure it out. Oh and you have a lot of great talent. You would be successful in anything you chose to do because of your great attitude.

[@TrustinTimber]

That is really kind of you. Thank You.

One of the best solid cabin I’ve seen build…stay safe! Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺

[@maxreinshagen1771]

I really like your meticulous way to work and develop your plans. It’s a pleasure to watch your videos.

[@davidschuerhoff7682]

Your mindset is so unique in this day and age. We are in the process of purchasing land to do the same thing.

[@flightographist]

I have built homes, custom and stick frame, I have friends who build large custom log houses and most are constructed off site and then disassembled and shipped to the building site to be erected. You are doing some good work there.

[@TrustinTimber]

Thank you! Yeah, exactly. Most people don't realize that.

I’ve been following from the start of this build, and am Blown Away by the knowledge and skill you possess, as this is, or was not your chosen profession. The Undertaking of felling the standing trees, and Building a Cabin from your hand milled lumber, is in Itself an Absolutely Monumental Task, but to do it Mostly Alone, Mostly By Hand, with Near Perfect Mortise and Tenon joinery, and Meticulously Scribed Assembly and the Many Conquered Obstacles along the way, Speaks Volumes about Not Only Your Impeccable Skills, but Also Your Character, Strength, Tenacity, and Wisdom! Where does it all come from? Such a Smart, but Deep and Mysterious Soul…….. So Intriguing! Tell Us More! ☮️

[@tblaudzun]

Great vision you have there🙂That is my dream too! Bless you and yours!

Glad you like them!

[@kevinwilliams8662]

Enjoyed the show

[@franklinnieto5378]

some thing that might simplify your sawing is to get a Right handed saw (where you can see the blade without craning over the top of the saw). DeWalt makes a great worm drive/battery operated one. Also, if you watch barwood builders you might get a few tips about Post and Beam constructs, such as a "big beater" made from hardwood. Keep it up!

[@aristidesaltet5933]

Perfect video ! as alwaysThx for the inspiration

[@TrustinTimber]

My pleasure!

[@Lis.E.H]

Thank you, interesting and how I wish I was much younger 😉. But I like the way your thinking

[@craigwolfe2221]

Just got my land here in colorado. I worked on a kit log cabin. I want local logs, not kit logs. Ill be alone for The most of construction. Ill start soon. Youve got some great ideas.

Awesome 😻😻😻🥳🥳🥳🤗🤗🤗

[@georgewhitehouse8630]

Please explain to me why you have your planer in both directions against your wood

[@TrustinTimber]

Haha, I saw my wife do it and it didn’t seem to cause any issues so I started doing it :) less work than lifting it and twice as much planning.

[@mustafababdullah2485]

Move the tripod out of your way then put it into the deck of the second floor to set your ridge beam ect

[@tlc1718]

Nice 👍👍

[@justingreener9713]

Would it make sense to use a smaller shank size screw during the mock-up build? So in the final assembly, when you use the final size screw, the hole has meat left to grab?

[@kennethsanders963]

One question, since you do not own the land ,do you have or need a permit to cut and harvest your logs?😊 I think on the loft back wall I would have com up 2.0' So your back corner posts would have to be 2.0' taller.It would mean the pitch of the roof would not be as steep.

[@scottensley9964]

Ditto on Alexis Outdoors.

Utiliza un Elevador manual 1000Kg TC-CH 1000 EINHELL, el gancho superior lo cuelgas de un cable de acero y este atado entre dos arboles, con ello podrás elevar cualquier tipo de objeto, a la altura que tu prefieras.

[@davespangenburg8015]

Cable from tree to tree with and a chain hoist

[@timfowler4642]

I love your thought process and the ancient wisdom you’re employing (even as you use modern tools.). In many ways I envy you as I sit in my suburban home wishing to be surrounded by more nature. One question about the flooring planks on second floor- you scribed them to fit tight against the outside walls. Will the moisture content be a problem when the humidity increases during spring-summer months when the boards expand? What moisture meter do you use? Thanks and blessings dad on your new baby.

[@TrustinTimber]

From my experience this pine is so soft, boards so thick, the screws so strong and my scribe not perfect, over time it just expands and contracts and fits perfectly. I had scribed the floorboards on the main level the same way. They have sat in plenty of rain and all that has happened is they look better than the day I installed them. They expand only where there is no resistance.

[@dawnajamison430]

Why didn’t you build out to the end of the floor?

[@TrustinTimber]

Originally I was going to. Decided just to do half now, and the second half later so I can stay in the first half when working on the second half. I was also a afraid I didn't have enough big logs drying yet.

[@mikebateman8021]

Are you going to Camper the ends of your wall logs From the post Or are you going to leave it that way just wondering I really like the way you designed The flooring Structure Have a nice day

[@TrustinTimber]

I think I’ll leave them.

[@craigmooring2091]

So you're saying you don't trust stick-built frame houses, but you do ... Trustin Timber. 😁 Seriously, thanks for sharing that with us. 👍

[@TrustinTimber]

I've got nothing against stick built. Just wasn't for me for this project. I like working with axes, chainsaws, and chisels.

[@skydyvrOH]

Found a used copy on Amazon for 41 bux (tax incl)...

[@timdunmyer4549]

Boy a cordless jigsaw would have been handy for that scribing. Why couldn't you take 2 planks and temporarily screw them to the Ridge poles so that they stick above the poles and attach a pulley to each one then pull the Ridge beam up a little at a time going from one side to the other until you get it set up then remove the planks?

[@TrustinTimber]

As for the cordless Jigsaw, yeah, would hvae been a good tool to have... but I'm just happy to have the circ saw and sander. I stated this cabin with neither. Would have done it all with an axe back in the day. I think I know what you mean with the ridge pole. That could work.

[@aarronwalter]

Curious how you’ll approach insulation. Will this cabin require chinking? I assume that would make it difficult or impossible to deconstruct. Anything you can share on this?

[@TrustinTimber]

Yeah, That is why I'm doing the full scribe. I won't chink until its final location. I'll also put insulation between the logs when I set it up for good.

[@Styles5311]

Ooh... Not a good idea buddy. Your going to have a hell of a time putting it back together. That lumber will swell and twist while it's sitting

[@mikebateman8021]

You always build timber frames and post and been frames twice Always so it doesn't matter what land you're on

[@davelarsen9847]

As if building your cabin from scratch all by yourself isn't enough work, you plan to do it twice? That seems a little cooky. Oh well, it will be fun to watch I guess. Come to think of it, the guys at Natural Log House is Slovenia do the same thing.

[@TrustinTimber]

Yeah it's a pretty common practice in log home building.

[@RichardSmith-um4js]

Watching the build has been interesting...the disassembly probably not so much.

[@robertvazquez8706]

Everyone has a way of build a log cabin but I say as long as its inspected and stable you should be good. Beside your work is good and you know what to do. Where are you located?

[@skollouarnbushcraft-survie6104]

Hey mate. I know I arrive long after the battle is done, but... can't you organize a slow-buying process with the owner of the land ? Like give him 500$ every month for 20 years and in the end, the land will be yours (and if she/he dies, you will pay to his heir ? Or is it that this perticular land lacks some criterias of yours (easy car access, lake, flat...) ? First though when I saw you were dismantling the cabin was "omg why ? problems ?" then second though was "he is so brave, I wouldn't move a single screw" lol that's my lazy side, the darkest. Good luck with all that, let us know when you have found the cool place (like Dick Proenneke). Edit : cute babyyyyy :D

[@TrustinTimber]

We tried to buy the land. The owner is willing to sell and wants us to have it but the municipality wont let us sever the lot.

[@skollouarnbushcraft-survie6104]

@@TrustinTimber it's a pity, when you know clearly its a private land so, come on city lord, give us some air / space. Well, at least tell yourself it was a very cool and nice way to dry / season your wood before the real thing ha ha. Take care.

[@Kriswixx]

Because the government wants you to pay people tens of thousands of dollars just to make sure it's to code, and also tax you more heavily? I didn't watch the video, just guessing. Lots of tiny home builders on YT have to do that since posting. SUCKS ROYAL. Hope that's not the reason.
