71 yr retired carpenter here. I'm impressed with your hard work and the results are fantastic! Congratulations Timmy

[@SW-vu6pz]

curious what a build like that would run? House looks freaking awesome, dude has mad skills.

[@maryann823]

It does look “really awesome”!

[@Gunsgame1966]

Yup I’m 58 year old Chippy too pretty impressive build

[@dominiccuozzo8927]

Good on you, Timmy! Awesome to see a quality guy make his dream home come true! Built many houses in my day and the saying that captures the home stretch goes like this, "The last 10% of the job is the hardest half." The pressure of not screwing things up after all the hard work is serious stress. And you're doing it on camera in front of thousands of people. In my book you're the King of DIY!

[@kirkvoelcker5272]

Amen to that!

[@lzee6875]

You and your team of friends have done an amazing job. Thank you for taking us along and introducing your friends to us.

[@walterabraham5367]

I bet there are billionaires that don’t have cabins as nice as yours. You are the man!

[@PurpleCh4lk]

For some reason usually the homes of billionaires look anything but a good home.

[@xxmadmanxx9882]

Most billionaires homes are unrealistic because they more like show pieces. I like being realistic and keeping things nice yet practical.

[@DarrellWatson-y1n]

Very impressed in your work on your house. What makes it even better is your previous back and neck injuries. I've had my back fused and rods and screws put in so I can identify with the effort. I like all of your adventures. We live in Alaska for a total of 37 years before moving to Tennessee in 2015.

[@terizumbusch8408]

I'm so proud of you.Those countertops couldn't look any better.I don't care who do them they're gorgeous. Great job , you're gonna love living with those cause you did it and they are beautiful, as is you're entire home. This Grandma's proud of you Timmy my boy, good job! I'm in Portland Oregon.If you ever find yourself down here , let me know I would love to buy you dinner. Blessings ❤

[@elbob17]

Dewalt should sponsor this channel. The place looks great. Pretty cool to watch it all come together.

[@lindalou9507]

I met a gal in little Salmon, Idaho yesterday that built her own Truck House Life because you inspired her during COVID. Pretty awesome to watch your projects and travels.

[@blueman5924]

So….you’re sayin Timmy’s Truck House build spawned a clone in Little Salmon. cool.

[@lindalou9507]

@@blueman5924 I wished I could post a pic of hers but her license plate was "ATHOME."

[@detour7790]

I love those countertops, tables and I’m sure I’ll like the night stands. Great job Tim.

[@NEIL-CURCIO]

your Dad who is obviously a master craftsmen should be proud because you have done an amazing job on the new cabin 🤙

[@jwk4567]

Wonderful stuff! God bless Timmy

[@danielsadventures360]

Wow, it's amazing to see how much progress has been made in just over a year! The journey of building your own house in Alaska is truly inspiring. Can’t wait to see the final result-keep up the fantastic work! 🏠❄👏

[@gainesj1]

After watching your videos over the years, and listening to the sound of your truck… I can DEFINITELY hear that the idle is smoother. Great job on the maintenance and investment into your noble-steed.

[@JustDeacon]

Me sitting at home, high, listening to Timmy talk about trimming the door to fit flush and Im like "Yeah man, trim the door. Perfect" I have no idea whats going on, but I totally love it.

[@doctor.girlfriend]

Your yellow couch looks FANTASTIC in your living room! What an excellent design choice! I feel like it compliments the natural color of the wood. Edit to add: Can we be friends? Hahahah I want to visit your house, it looks so amazing.

[@juwalker1]

Julie from Washington, DC here. Tim, I've been watching your house build from the beginning. You definitely got skills (and your friends as well). I've thoroughly enjoyed watching it come together. It's been amazing to view all your labor of love. I mean, when you were lifting the heavy stuff, I found myself grunting right along with you.😅 I am so proud of you and what you have accomplished. 👏🏾👏🏾 Thanks for sharing it with us.

[@marytomlin2566]

WOW, Timmie, Everything looks great!

[@digdugbingo]

You're house is so badass bro... It looks amazing Tim. You do great work, and make some seriously awesome additions man. The in floor heating, the rooftop fireplace, the live edge countertops, the rock arch, you did amazing!

[@Strangernightg]

Tim , your house looks amazing I truly love the way you have everything set up . The kitchen island and the furniture you choose for your house is outstanding !!! What's so amazing about you is that you didn't wait till you were 50 , 60 or 70 years old to have your house built , enjoy your house while you're young and be proud of yourself for building a beautiful house !!!

[@sunshine2528]

It’s coming along: lights, water, gas!! The countertops are really beautiful and I like the stairs- the thick treads are nice. Your house is becoming a home! ❤

[@bmiller8255]

Everything is looking amazing Timmy. Great job!! Makes it that much more enjoyable knowing you did all the work yourself.

[@deborahruffo6858]

9:27 Hi Timmy. Your home is beautiful. I love your can do attitude. I’ve learned many things by trial & error.

[@michaelburroughs7494]

It's looking really nice. I'm impressed with how nice the counters came out.

[@shawneeb3771]

Your house is amazing, congratulations on all your hard work coming to an end. Thank you for sharing.

[@ghislaineyvonne914]

hi timmy nice too see you back beautiful home great craftmenship love watching your videos so many good ideas and of corse your adventures amazing person you are laughed so hard at your band party such a nice community too keek them comming

[@carriemainquist757]

I don't know what I'm doing, but here we go...just adventurous in so many directions not afraid to SEND IT! Jumps in and here we go! Love you Timmy! Cabin looks amazeballs.

[@rachelkirchner6892]

Just beautiful Timmy! It’s really come together. Ty for sharing this journey with us.

[@aussiebeekeeping]

I thought your road trip videos were good until I started watching your house build ones. You obviously have the knack for all things carpentry and it’s awesome to see you build your dreams. Do it yourself is the most rewarding way. Well done Timmy.

[@1911MikeinOregon]

The wood looks freakin incredible Timmy. I'm 62 years old and it still amazes me how putting a finish coat on a piece of bare wood totally transforms it, and brings it to life. It's the same thing that happens when you paint a car with basecoat / clearcoat....

[@lynellethompson5521]

Beautiful house!! Love it!! My dad taught me how to epoxy when he was alive. He was an Industrial Arts, Drafting, and Woodworking teacher. Epoxy gives you such a beautiful surface on your wood!! So glad that your truck is almost fixed!! Safe travels!!💚

[@louismadrigal5718]

Beautiful. So amazing to see it all coming together.

[@minnaparker1041]

I love your house and especially the kitchen. Its all beautiful I admire your work

[@wesgunton238]

The house looks great. Nothing beats building something with your own hands and admiring the end results.

[@cowboy6591]

That trowel with teeth is for removing stubborn bubbles. It pops them, once popped go over with a smooth edge.

[@fletchdad8755]

One of my sons has an epoxy business , they do floors and some of the stuff is amazing ! Some have what looks like waves crashing on a beach , gold , just phenomenal stuff !

[@smokeystover6879]

Timmy What an epic journey in your home build. I love the rustic look to your home and all the fantastic features you have envisioned. You are a true DYIer and with your great group of friends to support you in the home build. Your patience and hard work must be truly rewarding and awesome to enjoy the little comfort pleasures of life. A big congrats👍😊

[@JeffPutchinski]

Glad to see you're staggering seams.....looks GREAT

[@ionecuff6323]

OH TIMMY!!! IT IS ALL SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! You and you father have such a gift to be able to bring out the beauty that is in everything around us, whether it be a slab of wood or a rock from a river, you both have the vision and ability to use it to highlight and expose the NATURAL BEAUTY each has. Your home is breathtaking, BEAUTIFUL, and has such a feel of warmth, comfort, and yet a revitalizing of the body and spirit. No one be in that beautiful home and not have a positive and "can do" attitude. You have such amazing talents, gifts, and work ethics that it isn't no wonder that you are continually accomplishing every goal you set for yourself. I just can't get over how BEAUTIFUL everything is!!! I know it was hard and time consuming moving all the cameras around to video your work to share with us. I want to thank you for that and tell you that you will never know how much I appreciate you doing that for us. Thank you for all you do to allow us to see, learn and share in your work, fun, and adventures. Your parents have to be extremely proud of you! May God continue to Bless & Protect you always.

[@SamuelManaole]

You are skilled my friend, and you certainly live an incredible life.🙏

[@Kirious]

Man, I just wanna say that I'm so excited for you to finish this build. I've been watching you for I think a bit over a year now, and I just love how this is coming along, I can't imagine how stoked you must feel about it. I also feel like I've learned a lot from the whole process through watching this series and it's so inspiring. I can't wait to see it done and fully furnished and all the fun stuff you'll be doin in it!

[@Thorinox]

When all is said and done, you should make one big play list of you building this beautiful home.

[@crystalballard4463]

Wow that sink is BEAUTIFUL! I can't wait to see it all done!

[@RealMrNails]

The house looks amazing!

[@user-ls3on2gh1o]

What a work of art! There's dream house, then there's Timmy's Dream House! Well done, Sir! Looking great!

[@braderzjamez3197]

Proper nice house dude. Great work 👍🏾👍🏾

[@VE.creations]

Second here!! I came to the channel to see of any updates and this was delightful. Great work Timmy!

[@HeavyK_MXB]

I love the way your house is built, the rooms are very compact and to me that just gives more of a cozy feeling than being in large open rooms

[@stuartrollings602]

Howdy Big T! Wonderful house that you will be proud of till the next one you build🤣. Thanks for the share! Saddle up!

[@debbiebrunetti9228]

Everything looks so great , man you are a hard worker. Enjoy your new 🏠 😊

[@JasonStutz]

You seem to be pretty humble because you always say your not an expert or you don't know what your doing but it seems you do know what your doing. I think you have a great attitude towards things and life.

[@user-mm7xr8if1u]

Funny watching Timmy using a 20" Lasko box fan to blow off the dust after that bathroom sink cut. I run Laskos in my house and RV, the 20-inchers. Great fans, made in USA--West Chester, PA. No Chinese junk. Throughout that house build, Timmy's always said, "I never done this before." EVERYTHING he's done comes out great, epic, and PRO! The house speaks for itself!

[@TamooMeadows-hf7px]

Loving the sound effects 😂 You could feel from here how heavy that loveseat is.

[@loriwaldo7200]

Your work ethic is over the moon 🌙 AMAZING. Your home is beautiful and the craftsmanship is incredible. I love it. I believe you are going to make many many happy memories there! Thanks for sharing your journey with us. Very entertaining and inspiring story.

[@christopherharris6005]

Awesome video as always Timmy. Your cabin is so awesome can’t wait to see your big road trip.

[@truckcampinglifemag]

I just want to say you have done an amazing job. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I have watched it from the beginning. You are blessed with some good friends.

GREAT JOB with the epoxy! All the counter tops, etc look beautiful. 🤙👊

Great vid Timmy. Lot of good work done. Finally coming together. Next time

[@kimprocarione5473]

Absolutely incredible! Outstanding home! Watching you carry those slabs makes my back hurt just watching! Just stunning counters! Holy crap! Those pull outs! 😳🤙😮

[@faithmorehouse5940]

The counter and tabletops are stunning! What beautiful home you have created! 🌞

[@greatwhitenorth3717]

Your cabin looks AMAZING! Never learned a trade but did a lot of this and that around the house. You must feel the greatest sense of achievement and satisfaction! Can't wait for the finished tour and house warming.

[@jessicapower8585]

Yep I'd stay in that spare bedroom!! This house is AWESOME!!! ❤

[@jenniferwalkswithHim]

You’re amazing. It looks spectacular. It’s just gorgeous home. You should be very proud of yourself. You did such a wonderful job. I told my husband watching your videos makes me wanna move up north buy a fixer-upper and remodel it. I just love what you’ve done. It’s just gorgeous.

[@jeri926]

I'm glad your truck is running again. I know how expensive it is to have work done on a truck, but it's definitely less expensive and better built than a new one. Your house is coming along great. I love it. You're doing a great job on it. Congratulations to you and your friends that have helped.

[@dominickrodriguez3856]

Absolutely fantastic work! At the start of this project (building your house), I recall you were maybe uncertain if your subscribers would love the content. However, this entire project truly embodies the essence of what makes your channel so great-your creativity, dedication, and ability to engage and inspire your audience. Truly amazing, man. Looking forward to many more adventures from you. Thanks, Timmy!

[@edmundoroman8918]

Very impressive. You should be very proud of yourself with what you have accomplished.

The house looks amazing. Like the way you did everything yourself with your buddies. Saved alot of money

[@JNJ010208]

Hardest working guy ever. You have so much energy and motivation. So awesome!! That wood is gorgeous. I've worked with epoxy alot. Can do some neat things with it.

[@radioactivebanana6774]

Wow! Almost done! What a beautiful house! Love the tile work and wood slab and the rock work. Great job!

[@sjjs444]

I've been watching your build since the beginning and it's crazy to see all the progress. It looks absolutely amazing. I'm so jealous you have the "treehouse" cabin of my dreams. I'm excited to see what it looks like all finished up.

[@Jclove4christ]

I absolutely love your videos, Timmy. They're relaxing to watch what I like the most about it. you deal with real struggles at time's and you don't back down. You push through it. I'm always looking forward for new videos to come out God Bless you keep them video's coming ...Happy Trucking 😎

[@wickedacoustic]

Timmy, those counter tops look amazing. Stair treads look awesome as well. This house is really coming together now. I’m proud to be a subscriber of your channel. Always worth watching. Great job as always.

[@kathleensauerbrei5199]

Oh my goodness what a fun filled. Watch and your poor back. It is starting to look so elegant love love love Sofa in your main living space. (the pullouts as well aren’t something to sneeze at) It’s finally coming together and it looks so very good

[@Akstergrind]

It's really nice to see the truck back, Timmy. I've honestly missed watching your videos recently!

[@Itsjustmebeingme565]

The house is coming along nicely. Can’t wait to see the finished product. You have worked hard Timmy, great job my friend.

[@somekindatrouble]

I'm about to Timmy-shame myself in public. 😂 I haven't watched you for about a month (zero excuses, I'm just a jerk)... but watching this vid made me realize suddenly how much I missed you and your content. Can't get over how good the house looks! ❤ Lesson learned? No more Timmy deprivation for this bish. More Timmaaaayyyyyyy!! 😂❤❤❤

[@chrissaunders8284]

I can't believe how much work you've gotten done.

[@containyourlife]

Great video, felt your angst! Love the sheen on the counters. Reminds me of concrete patios I’ve done. Painted them high gloss white and shellacked the hell out of them. They looked like you were walking on glass and were so easy to keep. Everybody loved them, and today I’d still do the same. 😊

[@luke_from_online]

The videos of the house build have been so fun to watch while the truck has been being worked on. Seeing how done your house is on your Instagram always makes me happy! Cheers

[@kimsek6371]

Dude, that’s so crazy! I clicked on the video and you have a whole house done 😂. I love seeing the progress. It has turned out awesome!

[@davidr6045]

Your mt bike skills are just fine. I’m glad you’re enjoying yourself and taking a break from a pretty overwhelming build. Thanks so much for your content.

[@lawrence7065]

Great job on your house. It’s something to be really proud of.👍🏼

[@scarlethreadd]

New here, absolutely amazed at your home build. It is unique and the counter tops are stunning! Well done on attention to detail - when that kitchen top went in and fitted perfectly. Sweet spot indeed.
