Congratulations man 🤯

[@originalholydan25]

You should make a handrail and put something together so you can watch movies easier

[@mrhighjynx]

Your son seems like he’s a little you. So cool how he digs hanging out with you and your wife.

[@EricZ1982]

Really like how the cabin is coming along, great work. Has anyone suggested creating a couple of bunk beds on each side of the second floor. it might be a good idea.

[@TheWoodedBeardsman]

I think a couple of sleep mats would work really well, or even just mattresses on the floor!

[@johnahern770]

Chris. Just a quick observation or two about the wood-burner. Going by the Ontario building code 1) the stove and chimney should be at a minimum - 16" away from any combustible material. That's all the way to the outside through the roof, not just inside the cabin.and also the floor. Cement board would work well on the wall, as well as under that steel plate, which will conduct heat through it to the wood floor as if you had built the fire on it instead of in the stove and it is not expensive, comes in 3' x 5' x 1/2" size for about $14.0 2)Not to sure, because I could not see too well the install of the chimney, but it looks as if the pipes are in upside-down. - i.e. the 'female end' should be at the bottom of the join and the 'male end' goes in from above the join. This is so that any liquid from either rain or condensation from the burning wood, when it runs down the inside of the pipe, will not run out onto the floor or the top of the stove. Don't worry about the smoke coming out the joint . Trust me it won't. 3) I know you probably will not be inspected by any authority regarding the cabin build, and it's use, but just for you own safety regardless of code requirements, a smoke detector should be one of your priority purchases. Fumes from a wood-burner can kill very quickly, especially when you sleeping. Stay safe, and enjoy that beautiful woodland wonderment.

[@brucethompson7214]

You guys are so inspiring. What a wonderful experience for your kids. They'll grow up as grounded humans.

[@cjmala3370]

I started watching your full cabin building episode that was over 3 hours and I was totally addicted! What a fantastic job you guys did on that cabin! It was great to watch every nail and screw go into it and watch it become what it is. Both you, Chris and your brother Kevin have to be two of the nicest guys on the planet. But that doesn't surprise me coming from a wonderful country like Canada.

[@chickennugget1498]

One awesome Canadian

[@truthwatcher609]

Nice children. The little girl is precious. Lovely wife. Great son and can't forget the great brother. All in all a great family.

[@albertcollins5894]

Hi guys just watched the 3 hr cabin build and first overnight, awsome job some people go to their boat or cottage at a lake or a seasonal trailer but I think having one in the middle of the woods be experience listening to the wildlife around you and being there for your sons practices and games mean alot our mother and father did it when we were his age look forward watching more.

[@presbyterosBassI]

Should mount cement board on the wall behind the stove.

[@mountainguyed67]

Yes, our wood stove has something like that.

[@dennishaldiman6087]

Just a note - Wood burning stoves should have the exhaust stack fitted with the upper section going "into" the lower section to prevent creosote from leaking around the fittings when stove is shut down and creating a mess on the pipe. The hot exhaust gasses will naturally flow upward and not create a problem with gasses getting into the cabin. It appears from the video that the upper was fitted over the lower section...

[@NeedsMoreToys]

I like that you dropped the loft floor a foot to get you more head space. My stove requires 18” from the drywall. I mounted a steel roof panel On the wall behind the stove with a 1” gap to wall. Works great and moved stove to within 16” no problem.

[@sarahtrial9048]

I love you letting us spend time with you and your family

[@somedude6452]

In Kentucky in the olden times, kiddos would sleep in that crawlspace in the hot humid summers to get some relief. It might be the only cool spot oter than the springhouse or root cellar. Every once in awhile on old homestead sites, you will happen upon a "rockpile", that was generated as the farm kids would help their dad haul ones that turned up during plowin'. Then from the rockpile, then this was aggregate for lots of masonry jobs. Imagine the rocky Scotland and Ireland that then resulted in endless amounts that became rockwalls on the property lines. Kids had a ton of chores way back when..

[@semco72057]

That is a nice cabin you all have and it gives you all the opportunity to come to it and stay for awhile and enjoy the outdoor life. That heater is good to heat the cabin and also cook some food on as well in the cold months when you can't cook outside. There is a nice sleep system you all have there and the kids have something to do at night by having their books to read and I noticed the solar panel you all have which can charge your phones and let you watch television during the day. I hope you all have a can to place on the heater to put moisture back into the air since you will notice the air getting so dry until you feel like you can barely breathe.

[@chetthejet3896]

And yes you guys have done a great job on the cabin.

[@lifesprodject5265]

Some children won't ever want to hunt and that's ok too!! He can always trade for food...or barter. Love that your open to them being who they want to be. Good job dad

[@ericsmurf1452]

Lol or maybe he can sell chicken down at the market like ma and pa

[@donnitabone1134]

I watched y’all build the whole cabin. It’s alright. Mighty nice. What a great place for the family to get together.

[@jordangomes1393]

Your son had the Guelph Gryphons hat. I love seeing glimpses of things I recognize from Ontario!

[@aropals672]

Looking like a railing is the way to go. Don't know if you've seen them before but in small structures raisable stairways are really efficient and look cool also. You can do them out of wood or rustic iron. The pulley system is simple and you can get a good angle rather than a straight ladder type stairway. You can even do it where the hand rail collapses when you raise it. If you use something heavy as a counter weight they go up and down so easy a child can even do it. Just an idea I thought you might consider.

[@jeffmarsh6363]

Hi, new to the channel. Nice cabin. Love the circle window. Add a water pot on top of the stove for moisture overnight. I will definitely watch the build. Lovely family and you are a great dad.

[@AUCTIONCAT2011]

Very nice, but you better put fire board on the walls behind the stove. Have a good fire extinguisher and good first aid kit in case of an burn or axe accident.

[@brentsw3]

Lovely little cabin... very cosy, looks like it will hold up well, well into the winter. Looking forward to more over nights...

[@thomasmackie922]

Good fun

[@antonioginez5994]

The cabin looks cozy and homey. The loft needs to put a railing so that the kids will not fall down. They are wonderful family and his brother with the dog is he[pful and friendly. That dog is cute and adorable. God bless you guys and be safe.

[@margaretcasey871]

You actually sound like a lovely Canadian person. The work you did on your cabin is just the lovest.

[@sarahtrial9048]

Your such a great dad!

[@pauls7318]

I think Holden is making up in head hair what he can't yet grow in face hair. Careful that you don't lose him under there. It's good to see you spending time with your family. I know with all you have on your plate that it can't be easy to keep everything balanced. Your hard work does not go unappreciated, sir.

[@shartne]

Just the plate steel will be fine by itself. The only reason people use them is so sparks and coals that fall out dont burn the wood floor. Stove should be 36 inches from the wall though. Unless you put some kind of protection behind it too.

[@lettingthebearout7528]

Might I suggest building a ladder from cut trees/ logs. Would look great. A family member did that in their little cabin and it looks very cool.

[@mrhighjynx]

Now that’s a nice cozy cabin sir. Well done. Nothing better than having some alone time with the family in a cabin - in one you built with your family. We’re the lucky ones eh?

[@kennethlemke9826]

I have seen them use tile under wood stove...but metal plate looks nice..great looking inside with walls finished

[@CCRider5312]

[@gregorypeck37]

Hey buddy you should put up a railing system for the kids for safety reasons. Especially if your niece is going to be there a lot and also Holden so he dont accidentally fall off there in the middle of the night trying to go to the bathroom or while sleeping. It's really simple to make a railing for that plus it will add a sense of security and closure to the area.

Have you thought about a Futon mattress instead of cots? You may be able to find one to span the entire loft and they can be folded out of the way when you need floor space.

[@savannamiller7568]

[@smoothestones1]

You need to insulate between the plate and the vinyl (or laminate) floor underneath or it could melt.

[@SuperQuickfix1]

Family first, no worries about videos, we'll wait.

[@michaelyarmie4858]

Can always get some paver stones for under the stove plate. Build a two piece ladder and devise a pulley system to pull it up out of the way. And rub some oil on that table.

Love the lifestyle, very relaxing when you choose to. Love the woods, but that cabin…man!! 👍🏼👍🏼

[@jamesgoodman8679]

Oh the 3/16 steel floor is a good idea but it will conduct heat and melt your flooring Need possibly a fire resistant material beneath the steel or flat stones to raise the plate up creating a clearance for heat to dissipate. Just a thought

[@N0xKn1ght]

I would have put some fire proofing between the steel plate and the vinyl flooring... the steel plate I feel is no different then having the metal stove directly on the floor... they are both metal???

[@raymondhuber6306]

My stove has 2n a half inches of concrete and three quarters in flagstone under it on my wooden floor, and when you burn the right hardwood with the stove filled... That floor in front of the stove gets so hot you can't stand bare foot on the wood floor in front of it. I think that steel plate could be a fire hazard

[@N0xKn1ght]

@@raymondhuber6306 Exactly... I'm no expert by all means. But I remember my grandmother had an old house out in the country in Ontario when I was a kid and they used an old cast iron wood burning stove year round, I remember many relatives getting burns... but most of all I remember the stove had to be placed on a steel plate on top of a hearth stone and with stone backing. Basically it had to have the majority of a fire place and chimney built around it to to make it safer.... and even then the wood floors would get so hot you could not go near the wood stove without footwear.

[@brianingham9569]

Cabin looks great! And yes I think I would put some type of handrail up.

[@dan3nad]

you should put ceramic tile on top of the steel plate between stove that will keep the heat from damaging the floor

[@gregwright392]

So envious of your cabin.

[@josepimann7384]

Need thermal stones under the fire place to be sure, there's no code in the woods. I'd put patio stones on top on the steel plate, the gaps act as insulation to the heat, so none will pass because as you said heat rises.

[@siamak1246]

Try the Aluminum plate. It reflects the heat perfectly. It is much cooler versus your Iron plate. It is also very thin versus your tick plate.

[@calcosPR]

Cabin looks great

[@jasonkotara2135]

[@riftalope]

A good way to get good overnight heat is to put a thermal mass stack of red bricks behind the stove about 2 inches, 4X4 square and 3 feet tall. ... Or a metal water tank.

[@OffgridSecrets]
