[@jeanblythe1595]

This never gets old. Thank you for showing how you built this--you have many new subscribers to go along with us old timers. Be safe and see you next video.

[@colettelavery7452]

Shaun it is hard to believe I was flicking on youtube nearly four yrs ago and came across you getting ready to start working on your cabin my how your homestead has turned out I am enjoying looking back at all you have achieved on your own and when Cali joined you.She is a very special friend to you she is always by your side stay safe 🇨🇮

[@jordangladden7749]

I love your dogs smile. Makes me smile

[@gusviera3905]

You've truly created an estate in the woods. With your own two hands. For little or no cost. Beautiful fitment. Well thought out. I consider that an accomplishment of a lifetime. Congratulations and well done. Looking forward to the ongoing additions on the property. Thanks for sharing your progress. Be well Shawn.

[@dominiqueberthou6093]

toujours agréable de voir l ' avancée de votre travail dans les construsctions que vous faites .

[@dsop66]

I love revisiting this build series! So cool to see the evolution of the homestead again.

[@TheMetalAllfather]

It never fails to amaze me seeing what Shawn's accomplished in under four years.

[@HalsPals]

And all of that while professionally recording the process -- by himself!

[@leoseven9343]

[@jayheinrich5207]

It’s been 25 for me and I might finish in my lifetime! 😏🤔🥴

[@TheoriginalANGEK439]

That window you put in and below has a nice feature. It don’t look bad at all. 👍💙👍

[@ArielleViking]

I enjoy watching this build again. 👍

[@marcm2798]

Your content is Awesome thanks for putting in the hard work to make the videos GOD BLESS

[@Kathy_Is_Blessed]

Good memories watching this series, of back when I first watched them!💖

[@tatesc4252]

I find your skill incredible, your wife and family must be proud you could build a log cabin all by yourself!🤩. Love to watch what you do and I am amazed to see your accomplished project. I am learning as well. Thanks for your video.

[@itsmecathyw2503]

I would love to have someone stand behind me to make sure I build a cabin right someday 🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰 looks so easy watching him but I’m sure super heavy job 🤷‍♀️

[@marygordon3032]

I love to watch you build things, thanks Shawn! 👍👍👍💯💯💯

[@terryefowler3593]

I REALLY love the music in this video, Shawn. The banjo music is wonderful, but your other choices are reflective and very enjoyable. Thank you.

[@patriciabarnes7034]

I remember way back watching you doing this. I've enjoyed re-visiting it all again. Now I'm behind with my project though! No regrets however but I better go buckle down now.

[@kilroygirl7347]

I like re-runs when they're this good!

[@nicko9715]

Loving this recap series Shawn! Been watching on the main channel since you started the log cabin initially.

[@virginiareid5336]

Always nice to review how you managed large tasks alone.

[@trevorc6554]

I think this is Shawn preparing us for his plans of building larger cabin by the pond

[@derekjohnson8859]

Thanks for sharing Shawn. Great video. best wishes to you and the family.

[@cabinman]

Glad you sawmill lumber prices are fair...our has gone up tremendously.

[@michaelhuguley831]

[@dlspiritdancer9548]

I was born n raised in the bluegrass state. A very beautiful place/state really.

[@Neighborhoodgo2guy]

This must be fun to be able to look back on your work and see how far you've come

[@sharibushnell190]

I just love your work . It just relaxes me and ENJOY HOW you build the old way no power tools thats love !

[@janetnewbill291]

Love the new theme song. Stay warm Shawn. Winter is Coming.

[@tinaantatico6397]

Wow! Another accomplishment you made. It's very appreciating, you made it alone, with a heart. I salute you brave man, Shawn👏👍💪❤️😙🇵🇭

[@infinitybandofkent]

Awesome job Shawn , you're living my dream.

[@jd2055]

This is a great series Shawn Thanks for all the great videos

[@highenergyog]

And once again Good morning Shawn . This series is quite refreshing and an absolute pleasure to watch . 🇨🇦👍🇨🇦

[@BraxxJuventa]

Thanks for part 3 Shawn. 👍😁

[@WonderingAboutThat]

Hey Shawn, love your videos. Can you please create and share a simple diagram map of how your compound is laid out? I would love to get a sense of the distance between the river, garden, workshop site, root cellar, etc. Fellow viewers, like if you agree. Thanks!

[@trevorc6554]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@pavelusa3423]

Way to go Shawn..I.lived in Toronto from 1966 to 70..I helped build the 401..(;-)

[@johnhine8725]

Hi Shawn! I wonder, do you enjoy reading and answering replies or can it get old? I for one sometimes feel bad asking you things. I always wondered if your folks love the outdoors as well. You sir should be so very proud of your accomplishments. Thank you ! I STILL want your morning commute!

[@ShawnJames1]

I still do but as a result, I've only read a couple of books in the last three years

[@johnhine8725]

Shawn James Thank you for the reply. Seriously I do not know how you get everything you do done and still sleep. I am so glad I found your channels. Proudly display your decals and shirt in Michigan.

[@Cloax]

Fantastic channel! Always love new uploadeds

[@tommyulman6623]

love these videos but seen everyone you have done on both channels would love some new ones thanks for all you do

[@graciepopo3772]

Awesome after work i will watch this new video thanks Shawn stay safe and God bless 🙏😇👏

[@Coldsteel13]

Same as in pruning large branches you should undercut them to stop tear out....! Been following you from the beginning love your work... Keep it up 👍

[@j.a.r.family2576]

Feel like I have watched all of these.

[@leoseven9343]

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@timzi27]

Shawn your inspiring me big time over here. I found a plot of land (4.7 acres just outside of Perry Sound). I'm seriously thinking of building a few cabins, living in one and renting out the others on airbnb. Your channel has such a massive following, I'd bet 1/2 the people following these videos would love to experience what it is actually like to be out in the middle of nowhere and fall asleep to the fire crackling from the wood stove.

[@victoriasann1772]

Why would you want rent them out? Reason living off grid an stay away from Society, people can be destructive if you rent them out. 1 create your own you tube channel people may want to watch you. 2 Living off land....farming, sell excess food. Years ago in USA, people would visit Plymouth Rock and chip away some of the rock for themselves. Now its been protected all can take is pictures.

[@timzi27]

@@victoriasann1772 I still like people and society, my reasons for doing this would be to get away from the 9-5, be my own boss, and just overall be outside more because that's where I'm happiest.

[@KIMI-xt4eb]

seems so long ago you built your home! well done, bravo! be well!

[@Li-xk8jb]

您真的非常棒👍👍👍什麼都會做👏👏👏💪💪💪一個人建房子真不容易✌️✌️✌️

[@johnkeller6744]

I was thinking the exact same thing!

[@philipmorehouse1069]

Shawn, look into a compost type toilet, they don't stink like a chemical toilet. Again and again, I hear about how well the composting type toilets work - and again, no smell. I love watching you build anything, especially when you explain the "why fors and don't do's" I look forward to each new release. Your my 21st Century Fox Fire, man on the scene. p.r.morehouse (author)

[@alintomaogrezeanu881]

Good evening I watch almost all your episodes from Romania, I really like there and I would like to visit you in the future

[@crispy63]

Enjoying the look back Shawn. I forgot about the ideas you had for that one window and a potential expansion in the future. Would be nice to have a shower and non-stinking toilet right there. Take care!

[@dfuss2756]

Amazing to watch almost from the beginning. Good information that you are giving out. The young people who are starting out need to watch your videos from beginning to today. Even as old as I am I pick up tidbits of very useful ideas.

[@rosacaldonho382]

Viver bem juntinho em contato com a natureza! Tudo de bom!!!

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Shawn .

[@patstinson5167]

Good morning Shawn! I enjoyed the video.

[@macloud51]

Dear James, I was wondering if it wouldn't be nice for some of your viewer to rent the cabin and to do some learning from life in the forest by helping you on something. It could be a vacation package. You would state the job to be done with you and the ones who would enjoy the adventure would pay to stay in the cabin while helping you. You could also have a day off to take your visitor around, fishing, hiking, hunting and so on. I'd love to do that. Why not give a try. I'm a huge fan of your life style. You can even decide who you think is going to be a good guest. Looking forward to it. LOVE, LIVE, LEARN n LAUGH MAC

[@Fitzy222]

Cali's squirrel at 2:38 getting geared up for the daily run away from Cali. LOL.

[@richardhutchings921]

Chipmunk.

[@joetexas1546]

I would have left the poles sticking out to use during the summer as an awning for a tarp to keep sun off the cabin face. And left open during the Winter.

[@gidagorfen8947]

I'll say it again, you are amazing!

[@dioze1]

Well, my cabin is coming along nicely! Just let me know when I can move in. ;)

Well, a little high on the shipping cost, never shipped across international lines. Once a year packages. First class, 6 to 10 days depending on Customs. Hope it makes it.

[@vIBEDoUT-Channel]

I'll be making a cabin in the woods !

[@bgarcia4291]

Learning so much, double insulation the roof with wood. Got me thinking no insulation was use on the entire cabin.

[@dlspiritdancer9548]

The only insulation he used was the actual chinking from materials at the cabin. Mud he made on the east wall. He used moss on the rest. One vid he done some kind of test where it showed how air tight the cabin is. He found out the moss was much more efficient than the mud. Very talented & intelligent guy, Shawn is. Hes just too modest to say it. He researches every decision! Amazing really.

[@volcanocollins9845]

Goodmorning my favorite human.

Hello Shawn my name is Kostas and I am from Greece. I really like your work cause I do some carpeting my self and I will really like to meet you.

[@candi2Love]

Wow, this amazing -- that wood looks heavy and you are building this alone! New viewer and now subscriber here! Are you related to Kevin Costner? You look and sound so much like him and probably get asked that all the time!

[@infinitybandofkent]

Thet roof will never budge with those rough cut 2 bys

[@shepwestern6687]

Watching these videos is bittersweet. Shawn proves it's possible, but I lack his motivation, commitment, and energy. 😪

[@garym.kerchinskyjr.7405]

Did you make a video on the building of the back room? I watched you cut the inside door but can not find a build video.

[@maryamor4672]

Tremendous paradise in your paradise.

[@shengminsu5056]

What did you do before, why so talented and skilled in building?

[@athollmcnicoll256]

Ah History lessons again on how to create a quiet place in the woods without use of noisy modern work implements - just hammer and nails!! Cheers Shawn but I will not be moving to the backwoods anytime soon because the price tag is FAR TOO HIGH!!

Still think your porch overhang is too short ! only any good against vertical rain. ( we don’t have much of that !) What size are your roof boards ? they look like 8”or 9.”

[@casacartagena9234]

Since I havn't followed for some time I do not understand quite what is going on here. I've learned you are moving but is the cabin you're building right now already on the new place`? Could somebody please fill me in?

[@laurenciachew2561]

Hi Shawn... is this a new cabin you are building? The second one?...good job👍👍👍

No it's the same just a short clip of the cabin build. He's gonna build his workshop next.
