Put some soap on those long ass screws, helps a lot. Old carpenters trick.

5:56 "hey, grab Obama" 😁 You gotta explain...

[@williamblakeley3744]

Wow I've watched 1 man build his cabin in Alaska James is the name not trying to copyright ..also another man in Candida & a son & father clear land to Build .& this is BULLSHIT ...

[@JerilynnBegay]

How are those anchor bolts come up? Are they put in with the footing? How, I would like to know

[@ryanmalloy776]

what keeps the bottom logs that rest on the concrete from rotting? Trying to figure out how to tie in a timber frame to concrete and I am struggling with this part

[@davidallen944]

I would suggest you find another site on how to build a log home, these guys are cowboys.

[@jefferydrummond7027]

Personally I would put down a layer of self adhesive rubberized flashing directly on the concrete and then the standard mesh sill material then logs. Trim up after everything is tightened down, then you would have no wood to concrete contact and a moisture barrier too.

[@harleypiper]

next time rent a stinger crane truck. no sense in potential bodily injuries that cost 10 times the rental cost.

[@laid07]

Not what I came here for. This just shows what you're doing, not explaining how or why you're doing it.

[@northernontariobushman]

Yep total safety fail right off the hop , no glasses , no face shells , no grinder guard , no ladder. Quite the operation you got going on there ...

[@tynyyn5344]

How high were you going with the all thread? Seems to me that a couple of feet of all thread would be good, then use the connectors to screw in another two foot piece. Keep going up two foot until the wall is secured. Also, why large of a hole through the logs? The all thread is only 3/4" thick, so wouldn't a one inch hole be large enough? The explanation of the 13" screw was helpful in understanding the requirements of them tying the logs together. Plus it is incredible to see how much mold has accumulated on the first logs laid down. Will you have to go back and sand off the mold? That is a particularly dull process, sanding feet of logs to remove mold. ugh.

Not even a minute into the video and you have an employee im guessing cutting steel with no safety glasses. Dont you have labour laws and penalties there. You are posting this as evidence against you, sorry to say.

[@mattjohnston5807]

Nice to see some young bucks still do a good job without complaining.

[@thebackforty939]

why are you tying these heavy logs to the foundation again? lmao a total waste of time. just drilling thru and hammering rebar thru 2 layers would do more than your all thread. but hey.... all thread away!

[@Buddhism-g2d]

wow q🧑‍🔧🧑‍🔧🧑‍🔧🧑‍🔧🧑‍🔧🕵️🕵️🕵️💪💪

[@1984redcloud]

Nice work... good to see the young men working and learning as well. Cheers

[@pcking2008]

darn it, this video was Not long enough. I love log cabins! I won't be mad if your log cabin videos were longer ;) Thanks for sharing Angel from The Bay

[@keithconway4567]

At r1 per inch, logs do not make for a well insulated house. and I know the customer wants what they want and you build what is requested..

[@KeepItReal33]

Is there any kind of sealant being applied when two logs butt up against each other?

[@lastniceguy1]

Was just going to ask the same thing

[@jeancooper7953]

Yah!!! Idaho!!

[@chrisnicula6256]

I learned how to take the guard off the grinder and give it to a minor without safety glasses or a dust mask. Billions of particles of disintegrated cut wheel, dad needs a material data safety sheet on breathing steel and cut wheel particles. An OSHA 10 course would also help. C'mon dad.

[@SummerSetBytheSea]

Excellent!! This log cabin is huge! Can't wait to see more phases!! What a project!! 💯💥💫💯💥💫💖❤

[@BRYCYNS]

Add a nut before cutting the threaded rod , then back the nut off to fix any bent threads

[@ardyvh1290]

The first

[@gailreese4699]

Have you had any time to work on your place?

[@woodrowmagnus2535]

Video was redundant. Could have been done in 1/3 of the time.

[@danishamericanwarrior5202]

Cutting and grinding all over the new logs in wet weather. Did you notice all of the black speckle stains left on them. Hard to get rid of

[@BRYCYNS]

Use a multi tool instead of a chisel to cut out the square thread plate cleat

[@1timby]

I wonder if it wouldnt have been cheaper to get some rebar and use it than those expensive screws. LOL Just my 2 cents...Worth every pennie...LOL

[@FBall-im8ui]

This is NOT a log cabin its a foreign huge house not your little cabin in th woods for sure

[@thomream1888]

Dad, what are you going to say to your son when he comes home from the hospital with only one eye? Think Mom might have an issue with that? Our freedoms must be connected to our responsibilities and I'm sorry but yours don't match up. "Mr. Trimmer" might not know of the danger, you should. I hope you understand I'm not kicking your nutsack for fun, we all get caught up with "gitter done"... but get the safety part done too.

[@EssentialMountainHomesteading]

Thom Ream, Well said! We will make a push for better SAFETY on the job

[@tommmarree3689]

Loving the build! I am already getting bummed out, as I know that shortly the build will be over!!!

[@offgridgetawaycamp8034]

Nice job guys, It is a lot of work, but well worth it in the end.

[@lonestarhomestead5415]

Very nice.

[@harleyarcher6732]

How many apartments is it going to have

[@nub9688]

How old is the kid, "mister trimmer?"

[@kristinakaymcgowan]

If you have a home that’s built like this can you cut a hole in the exterior to add a door or widen a window?

[@EssentialMountainHomesteading]

most likely, but have an engineer do the calculations for the load above the door or window. You may have to reinforce around the opening.

[@kristinakaymcgowan]

Thanks for the reply! That’s what we thought. It’s a house made of planks with no interior load bearing walls. Seems a bit like a log cabin

[@patsilver1994]

very useful ... thanks guys

[@AfricanSouthernCross]

Why don’t you show how the long bolts are tied into the concrete ? Good job though !

[@EssentialMountainHomesteading]

Mark Shaw, The Long all thred are connected to the J bolts with a coupler nut and if you look at other videos in the series there's a clip on how we made that connection

[@jeffgannon1]

Grab Obama :) I snorted Hilarious.

[@EssentialMountainHomesteading]

Jeff Gannon, I've got a big black sledge hammer that the guys like to call Obama I should have edited that out.

[@ivanpredominantly1111]

what is the total cost to build?

[@RS-tp3uu]

Ivan Predominantly $2,000,000,000

[@ivanpredominantly1111]

how much for this cabin?

[@bishop5537]

I know safety can be a pain in the ass sometimes, but for the love of god, someone put some safety glasses on that kid!
