I Got This Covered! Slim's Fixer Upper Part 31

[@marilynrenaud1892]

Slim, you never cease to amaze me. I have never seen a more determined, intelligent, hard-working man than you. My eyes were glued to the screen as I watched this video. I have to say, I was on the edge of my seat watching you struggle. You always come up with some ingenious way to get the job done. What an incredible man you are. Much respect. Absolutely phenomenal video. Please stay safe! I love your little cabin and everything you've done to it.

[@eddymahon1503]

The only thing wrong about this video is it ended. Loved it!!!

[@lisacronin9333]

I put anti strike stickers on my windows. Living in the forest I had birds flying into my windows on a weekly basis. Broke my heart. That was over 2 years ago, and I haven't had one bird fly into my windows since. Thank goodness. 🐦

[@fynyxdezine524]

Slim, the cabin is really looking great. Thank you for bringing us along on your cabin remodel journey. Your excitement and enthusiasm is infectious. Your hardwork and dedication towards this project is admirable. I hope that you continue to share your journeys, both big and small, with us for years to come.

[@judyabernathy80]

Clever, clever, clever! You are the epitome of figuring out how to do the impossible by yourself. Your cabin looks great, Slim!! You have done a marvelous job!! Can’t wait to see more!!! ❤❤❤

[@maddog1082]

I've been around for 65 years and I'm still fascinated by fireflies. I love those time-lapse photos that you shared with us. Beautiful!

[@davidsradioroom9678]

I love fireflies, too. I only saw two this year. Hope they come back.

[@stellarproductions8888]

I love the fireflies too, I thought they were only located in the south of USA though, sure surprised me seeing them up in northern territories like Canada. Flish flash, well how about that, natures Christmas lights a glow, take a picture.

[@questioner1596]

I've seen them in the Ottawa/Gatineau area as well as northern Manitoba.

[@faithrada]

Ohhh Slim.. I was TRYING to reach through the screen and help hold those boards for you. 😂 Well... the thought was there at least. 😊 Great Job.

[@dianecooper7502]

I’m amazed how you manage to do all this work by yourself. It looks like you’re going to have a comfy cozy bedroom when you are done. With a great view too. ❤️

[@bonniedewilde710]

You are doing a great job Slim! I love building and making things as much as I like watching, especially now that I'm 70.❣😅

[@binder098]

The firefly segment was unlike anything I have seen before. Also it must be real nice to have a yard covered in deer salad. Nothing wins their hearts quicker than a bowl of fresh greens. The addition looks well thought out and stout, not at all like those scenes in "The Unforgiven" where the sheriff is building his own house. You've really nailed this one!

[@loriegreene9375]

When I was a little girl living in Georgia, I loved when the firefly’s came out in the evening. I would put a few in a mason jar to enjoy them prior to letting them fly away into the night. I have never seen any here in South Florida. Could you believe that the bear walked right by the cabin? 🐻 What a great build!

[@Glyn69]

Hello Slim , thanks for the great upload. It was very interesting watching you build your extension. The fireflies brought back memories of visiting my sister in Ohio in 1980 when she lived there , had never seen anything like them having flown over from Liverpool England. The area looks amazing with all the wildlife. I look forward to your next video , well done so far, and it looks sturdy.

[@oldkingcole6147]

The combination of your attention to detail, commitment, dedication and work ethic are in your favor. Great work Slim ! Appreciate the time and effort you but into your videos as well . Best kind! Cheers!

[@donaldmoser6057]

Very wonderful video as always. Please keep them coming. I really enjoy them.

[@scottsladeadventures1102]

Took me a few days to watch this video, life gets in the way. Well done Sir.. enjoy all of your travel and cabin videos. Stay safe.

[@peterbernier9624]

Boy oh boy Slim, I wish I had been able pitch in to help on the roof. I've done a few jobs like that over the years and have most of the tools necessary to make it easier. Throw them in my RAM and I'll be there. I'm in northern NB and at 73 I can still swing a hammer and climb ladders. Great video😊

[@susanstrickland6774]

Excellent videography, building, narration, wildlife and humor. Really enjoyed the build, going to add so much to the cabin. Hopefully the bird was ok. 🙂👍

[@michaelciceraro7707]

I know what you mean about doing by yourself. I'm 62 and only asked for help when it was absolutely necessary. 22 years ago it was a 20x24 woodshop. Last year a walk through camper built to my truck rails. Thanks for another great video glad to see things going your way.

[@kjkayjay]

Very impressive, Slim. And I loved the fireflies, deer, bear and birds!

[@raktoda707]

Boy you sure are a clever fella ' ! Where there's a will there's a way.Carefully and professionally. Even the bear was impressed.This cabin is a work of art, an unfolding flower of your life, challenges, and ,..all things Canadian.Looks great Slim I think the attention to detail,thinking of the worst case scenarios and gosh the darn luck has turned you into a fine builder . Many happy, safe sleeps here.Peace

[@ve2vfd]

Reason for NB code requiring nailed in gusset plates is that the pressed in ones have a VERY low fire resistance and pop out within minutes when heated causing early collapse.

[@SlimPotatohead]

Interesting. Thanks!

[@barbgilbart7945]

You continue to amaze me, in what you are able to do "by yourself"! Love that you take time to enjoy the wildlife around you and that you share it with your viewers! Thanks Slim!

[@lizcaporicci8483]

I am glad that you use safety measures, Slim. It pays to be smart. The addition is really taking shape. Loved this episode.

[@areaone3813]

My hope is each one of us can realize what a blessing we have to live here on this amazing planet. I appreciate you slim for protecting the creatures we share it with.

[@troygunter2848]

As someone who has worked alone often. I admire your tenacity. Never quiting but instead figuring out a way to move forward. You can always get more improvements done , when you can save money on your projects. Thanks Slim , always enjoy. Oh, yea in Milton today...on the Blackwater. Avoiding all armadillos.

[@JoyfulHope115]

I love the tone and tempo of this video!!! 😂 👏

[@squarewheelsorguk]

Very enjoyable, Slim. Thank you for entertaining us as you demonstrate your ability to solve problems and deal with tricky situations with your ingenuity. Thanks from London, UK,

[@ladikmk]

Whoa - you got that addition covered just in time. Everything looks very good Slim.

[@janelbrady5342]

Wow, good job getting all that up there so quickly. I was always fascinated by the fireflies when I was a kid. We also called them lightning bugs.

[@ramonapuckett3059]

Wow! That bear just casually walking around! Scary! Your cabin is really looking great, Slim. You’re doing a great job ❤

[@lacylobdell7455]

I wanted to REACH THROUGH the camera and help you!! The trusses looked like fun - the outer walls, well I’d have been cussin up a storm🤬. But the fireflies, what a treat! And thanks for tending to that precious little bird💞.

[@DesertDog8989]

Slim slinging insanely heavy and difficult plywood around like it's nothing! Go Slim!!

[@ManWander]

i am thoroughly enjoying this cabin building series!

[@anthonyromeo5960]

Slim your doing a great job. Give you alot of credit working alone.😊

[@lory2622]

Just judging by the wind storm out there I think those patch plates are good insurance. Thanks for all this effort slim.

[@arnoldseay9118]

You did good building this little addition by yourself. One suggestion if you do something like this again. Sheet the walls before you stand them up. Little walls like this could be raised with one person. Usually laying your sheeting horizontal and staggering the joints is more structural but the end result is you got it done.

[@JCarathers]

Greeting from East Texas!!!!! Wish I had a cabin like this in the woods. You are doing an amazing job adding this extension. I have enjoyed your videos for several years. Thank you for sharing your travels and building this wonderful cabin. Thanks!!!!!

[@TommyBoy11]

Slim, as a fellow Cabin in the Woods builder, you're an inspiration when I'm getting tired of the project.

[@henrybedoya7929]

I love your cabin video’s keep them coming you are amazing,sir

[@stevebailey7633]

Heads up to you Slim for doing this all alone. I long ago stopped trying to move 4x8 sheets of anything thicker than Luan.

[@rhondalyn100]

"A little tricky" never stops you, Slim! Great job and fun to watch. 🙂

[@BJM217]

Wow how special to have such a magnificent visitor.

[@stellarproductions8888]

Your cabin remodel video''s have been my absolute favorite on your channel. Having said that, I also enjoy your traveling video's too. I'm hoping that one day this cabin will become a permanent home for you. I know in the last video you talked about certain things that have to happen, in order for this to become a permanent living space for you. That Black Bear was looking for Poo's stash of honey. I can tell he's a teen bear, because no adult bear is going to risk getting themselves shot within an human encampment.

[@Dave-jt3lp]

Working by yourself it is amazing the ingenious ideas one comes up to get the job done

[@PhylissLopez]

Really taking shape! Thanks for sharing your time and effort!

[@PostHeartAttackMan]

You're the most soft-spoken, hardcore guy I have ever seen. I enjoy every minute of it. Thanks.

[@talktech1]

I appreciate your ingenuity when working alone.

[@boufd2008]

Your a 1 man army Slim. Very impressive !!!

[@bambambundy6]

Slim it looks great to me!! Heck I like the whole cabin!! Bravo Slim!!!

[@marianfrances4959]

Slim, get some of those window bird decals! Nice build, nice view! 👍😎🇨🇦

[@sylvie1941]

You're just so amazing, Slim! I'm extremely impressed. Great job!! 👍🌟

[@valisevoyage]

Hello. For the little birds, it is the reflection of the glass when seeing the sky that destabilizes them. Beautiful video as usual. Thank you. Good to you.

[@tiasimmons1665]

The way you got the last board up on the roof was so clever!

[@lilawickware8272]

Great Video, I always enjoy your Cabin projects & of course learning about Nature with those Fireflies...

[@SolarSailor1967]

Slims hammer work would make a woodpecker jealous.

[@lynh8378]

I loved chasing fireflies when I was little. Thanks for the memories. Neat progress on the addition. Stay cool!

[@daneboro6847]

Enjoying the building process great job and fast thing Slim👍

[@jamesmoyes3006]

Thanks for posting today Slim you always make me smile. I had to put my best friend down yesterday. It’s tough losing a pet and she was so beautiful.

[@SlimPotatohead]

Sorry to hear. I hope you enjoy those beautiful memories!

[@jranney1]

Our fur babies create such a hole in our heartstrings when they have to leave us…. So sorry for your loss.

[@marilynrenaud1892]

I am so very sorry for your heartbreaking loss. My sweet little bird who was also my very best friend passed away unexpectedly last year, 2023, and completely shattered my heart. I am still mourning for her. I had her for 21 years, since she was 6 months old. She was highly intelligent and communicated verbally. I know how much it hurts to lose a pet that you love with all your heart. You have my deepest condolences. 😢

[@jimnjele.bean-dayone3505]

I am sorry for your loss...

[@boufd2008]

Sorry for your loss .

[@janingham1823]

Wow. And more wow. Incredible that you did this all by yourself. Putting the roof panels. With the ladder on the roof. Ingenious. Thank you for sharing. Your workmanship is amazing

[@nickboucher1884]

Really enjoyed thank you can’t wait for the next one

[@sueg2658]

👍🏻👏🏻❤️ Very impressive Slim!! I really enjoyed this video and am l am so thankful you stayed safe. Very creative solutions!

[@bamslerc]

You need some anti collision window decals for the birds. :) PS; absolutely amazing what you accomplish on your own.

[@stevenate1174]

Amazing video as usual. I always look forward to these. Thank you so much!!!!!

[@chucksgmgarage1116]

Wow that is looking very nice, make a perfect sitting room / edit room.

[@carolecarr1064]

Phew! Good job, Slim. Thank you for the firefly show and the bear.

[@wsk38]

He probably wanted to “ bear” witness to the awesome job your doing 🫣

[@normamccafferty3053]

Those firefly trails!!! ❤ And your visitor at the end! Thanks for the video!

[@maryvalent961]

I’m writing this July 24. Here in Pennsylvania our fireflies are mostly done for the year. They are always magical!

[@longhunter1951]

Great effort Slim and the wildlife breaks make for a very interesting and enjoyable video, thanks for sharing. 👍

[@mrsmac5196]

Great episode, love that surprise appearance at the end!!

[@krisg3984]

I like seeing your skills put to use and making progress. The Thinking Chair , nice ! The wildlife seem to be curious even with all the commotion. Or maybe because of it. Glad the bear didnt go inside the front door behind you , hew ! 😅

[@snpnishanth9905]

Slim very nice work... I am waiting for finishing work... Bear walking place so careful... take care... Pick up and Camper trailer want good car shed.... Very very low cost recycle bin product using car shed....

[@axemanfishing2703]

VERY good job Slim. Really well done, especially doing it yourself. Great video.

[@Kaufeetimevideo]

Just so you know. I would have provided all the friendly support and encouragement. All I would ask is a large ice chest full of Unfiltered Wheat from Boulevard Brewing Co. Go domestic with LaBatt Blue & Molson Pilsner. Atta boy you are doing a great job! Keep it up.

[@susanbernard343]

Your addition is really looking great, what a smart idea using rope to hoist the last piece of roof panel up. Cheers from P.E.I 😊

[@chercurtis3607]

Everyone has already said what I was going to say. So I'll just say talented, very talented.

[@heatherinsf]

It was rather thrilling watching you do the roof and your creativity! It looks so good! I have never seen a firefly before, always wanted to but they’re not here in California or the other places I have been. Ever since I saw them on the Pirates of the Caribbean ride at Disneyland I have been so curious! 🤣

[@outpostcamp]

Nice work! Thanks from Hells Canyon, Frank.

[@stevengreco1939]

Amazing all by yourself! Slim is amazing worker.

[@mrstnfmly]

Gosh here in NH it’s been 90’s with that humidity. Better than all the years in AZ in the summer… but ! And OMG no way would climbing up and down a ladder with wood make it any better. You’re getting there !!

[@scottlangille9900]

Looking good Slim , don't over do it today in the heat. Stay hydrated. I wish I was there to help you

[@skytechbits]

Great Job Slim. I'm glad you were able to cover your hard work from the rain.

[@piushorning4869]

glad the cabin extension is coming along fine, boy when it rains there is really rains

[@bretebey]

Love your can-do attitude and tenacity.

[@glennkennedy441]

Thanks for the update, it's coming along nicely !

[@suzanneta8]

I always used to catch the lightning bugs as we called them as a kid. I got sore just watching you with all the hard work you're doing by yourself. It's coming along great, Slim! Be safe as always. 😊

[@earthbirder9469]

Awesome and inspiring !! 🙂 Love your videos and the bear ! How cool was that 🥰

[@V.I.Outdoors]

Another great documentation of canin progress. Thanks Slim.

[@barbm3660]

Love your videos & how creative you are. Stay safe! God Bless you ❤️

[@ruthanderson1758]

Lots of progress. Amazing what one person can do when they set their mind to it.

[@davidskaggs9914]

Great video. Where there's a will there's a way. Adapt, improvise, overcome. Hope that young bear doesn't become a nuisance bear.

[@alanjackson4646]

Amazing work rate, I was exhausted at 11:43. Difficult and dangerous on your own. Loved the use of the chrome wheel as a workbench. That bear was a lovely looking animal, from a distance. Great entertainment, thank you. Regards AJ.

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

Slim, you are doing a fine job. As someone who has done this very build, I know it is a learning process and you have shown that you have the wherewithal to figure it out and get the job done!

[@bjbeagles1257]

It’s coming together nicely!

[@jimnjele.bean-dayone3505]

OUTSTANDING sir !! And your bear friend was very cool...I think she liked the progress...

[@Vickyplaits]

Really enjoying the build. The casual bear visitor is not something we would ever have to think about here in the UK though lol

[@zanesutherland406]

At 24 I am really realizing how much faster and easier it would be to have another person help me with my projects. A few year ago I put up salvaged paneling that I mudded over to look like drywall in a cabin. Anyways one of the paneling ended up being on an angle with an inch gap on the seam. That wouldn’t have happened had I had someone else to hold it and check things. I filled it, then taped and mudded over it best I could, but it was a big reminder that help is well just that… very helpful 🤪😄

[@pamflowers8364]

I enjoy these videos and can identify with your challenges as I am a five-foot tall woman and built my own home. I skidded the roof decking sheets up along 2x4x16 boards, using my 4-wheeler to do the hauling. It worked well and made it safe. There's always a way - as you have proven over and over.

[@WildDoveTrail]

I'm beyond impressed. I can't believe you could pull that off all by yourself. Wow you are incredible.!!!!🥰

[@EdwinCV-dh8qc]

Slim,great video my friend I always learn a new trike from watching your video's I appreciate it brother.

[@annbarron5874]

You are amazing Slim. Really enjoy your films.
