All it takes is a one second lapse in focus to het hurt. Glad it wasn't more serious.

[@dshares]

So if I have both solar panels plugged into my Jackery and let’s say I have full sun, how long would it take to charge?

I did the same with my finger. I tore the nail off about 2 months ago. I let it go for a few days. I finally got an x-ray, and I splintered the bone in my finger. Be safe. God bless, and I know your dad is looking down on you from heaven, smiling. He's missed very much. ✝️ 🙏

[@Yaleka22]

I love your log cabin it’s so beautiful. The staircase with the boulders looks amazing. Your log cabin is warm. Thank you 💜

[@kathybaker6977]

You were my dad's favorite KZbin channel. He told me the whole story of how this cabin came to be. He passed away almost two months ago. I'm glad to have the memory of talking about how you and your dad worked together to make this home.

[@konoctiswigwam8130]

I like the way you think...I have long told the person that taught me to craft with logs that even a log box could be my dream, it just requires thinking outside of it. These steps are a perfect example of adding something to your box that nobody else has.👏

[@gibwest4968]

Can not think of any thing you did that cut corners. Dang near perfect build. Your Daddy is so proud.

[@davel2223]

Beautiful job on the stairs, what a unique idea and well executed.

[@frankscherping]

So good to see you again my friend. My wife & I just moved from our home in Livingston,Montana to Truth or Consequences,New Mexico. but we always look to see if you have a new episode out for us to watch & learn from. Even at the young age of 77, with an open mind, who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Between you,Outsider, & Shawn James from "My Self Reliance" I have learned so many new ideas from both of you & Shawn. My wife & I really loved the episodes where you made the distressed copper cabinet door faces, & how you carved the sinks from a solid rock. My friend, you totally amaze us with your ingenuity. Well, I'm starting to ramble on, so I'll close for now with this. Again, it is so good to have you back again. We have watched your channel since you & your father first stared setting the foundation boulders for this gorgeous build of the cabin. So for now, Be Safe, Be Well, & God Bless you, your wife,& your daughter. Sincerely, the old Montana cowboy & my wife Rae An & Frank Scherping❤😊❤

[@happyhobbit8450]

Your stairs look great. I have seen a similar stair construction in a craftsman style house out east. That one had a massive bolder that stuck out of the ground right in front of where the porch was built, and they carved the steps into it and capped them with wood to match the porch.

This channel has the best built log cabin in the 'Net, owing to you and your father's bent on excellence like these steps, the dormers and the rest of this exceptional build. Maybe an extension at the back for one more room, relocation of the bathroom and small a tool room may extend our delight in your future episodes; or an underground cellar!

You are a channel our whole family enjoys to watch. We are canning potatoes and watching your cabin build series helps pass the time peeling potatoes together. My son dreams of building a cabin similar to yours. It's been so much fun watching it come together. We have watched some of the videos more than once 😊

This was also my first thought - dangerous for your wife and little girl, especially in winter when it might be icy. Handrails? Can you somehow round off the sharp edges or cover them in wood?

[@Glen-r2j]

Well hello again my cyber friend and glad to see you! This was a very good video because you used some great close up shots that let us, your viewers, see better what you were doing as you were working. We could always use more closeup shots for greater clarity. Enjoyed watching as you really captured some comprehensive views to show the different and difficult steps it takes to transform those boulders into the shapes you were after. Hard work that was. But what I liked the most about this video was the new spin you added at the end. Something you have not done in the many years I have been following you. And in this case worked very well and made the video seem to flow more smoothly. And more informative. Made me feel like I was there sitting around the fire while you gave your safety lecture. Sad about your finger. Sometimes it is just in the cards,,,get injured during your build or sneak one in on you after you're done. Gotta pay the price somehow unfortunately Another well thought out, edited, and presented video. Your getting to be quite professional compared to your first few videos. Got me once again sitting on the edge expectantly waiting for the next one. Your cyber friend, Me southern AZ.(USA)

[@mikemmikem2758]

Beautiful job as usual. You definitely need an outdoor utility shower! Just as an reminder (and you may have already done this) make sure you sand any sharp pieces of granite. May God, in His infinite mercy and compassion, continue to bless you this day - and all your days. Thank you for another great video.

[@kenvanderveer623]

You are such an inspiration!. I once accidentily cut a piece of the seat and a leg off an antique chair, trying to cut a small 2 x 4 for my fort. My dad warned me to NEVER touch a saw again and I am 71 now and I have never damaged any more wood.

[@williamrullman7063]

I'm sure your Dad is looking down and talking you up big time to the rest in heaven. I been watching since you laid the boulders for the foundation. I always look forward to your videos, being a wood butcher myself I sure do admire your craftsmanship and thinking outside the box. The stairs look fantastic keep up the great work.

[@genepatterson4375]

Your craftsmanship skills seem to have no limits and are enhanced by your artistic vision. Everything you do is a work of art and this cabin is testament to that. I can almost see your Dads huge smile and the twinkle in his eye as he admires the work you’ve done and believe he is pleased to see you further develop your skills. The steps are beautiful, both elegant and rustic combined and your wife will hopefully be able to easily maneuver them. Are you thinking of adding a railing of some type on one side to give her more stability? Your work is awesome and shows what a determined man can accomplish. Please be careful, don’t want any injuries to keep you and your family from enjoying your creation. May you be blessed with many years of good health to spend and enjoy at your cabin.

[@fooddude9921]

Absolutely beautiful work and finish! May I suggest you get some clear silicone caulking in all the cuts in the stone, particularly the one at the back of step 2 (as you walk up - the second lowest). If you do not I fear come winter the ice that forms in there will split your rock. I really like how you left the rest of the rock(s) in the front too.

[@Bob_Adkins]

That was a savage undertaking! You knew that it was a long, hard job that would cost you some tools, but you took up the challenge anyway because those steps will last forever. Rock dust is brutal on motor brushes, it grinds them down in no time. Brushless tools should last much longer in the sharp dust environment.
