From Start to Finish: Timelapse of Building Our Dream Log Cabin

The time has come to share the complete story of our log cabin build, from start to finish! In this video, you'll see a timelapse of the entire construction process, showcasing the hard work and dedication that went into creating our dream log cabin in nature.
Building this log cabin was a project I largely tackled myself, with invaluable help from friends. We had an amazing experience building this cabin on a budget, turning it into our dream home. Through this journey, we’ve learned that everything is possible if you put in the effort.
A huge thank you to everyone who contributed to this project. We had a fantastic time, with almost no major injuries-though one colleague did break his arm, which reminded us of how physically demanding this work can be.
Looking back, it’s incredible to see how much we’ve accomplished, yet there’s still much to do. This video captures our journey and progress from the very beginning to the final touches of our log cabin in nature.
Thank you for following along! Don’t forget to subscribe for more updates, tips, and stories about how everything is achievable with enough effort, from building log cabins to living in nature!

Hard pressed here in Canada to find a bald guy, crane operator and the guy with the beard with these skillsets. Besides U wud wait for them to show up weeks later, and have government inspectors bothering U every day. These homes here wud be built n a factory n transferred onsite as 100M -20 to 55 yr. old males are not looking for work in the US are playing video games and eating pizzas, etc. The stats are there for u to digest i.e., Eberhardt study (3 months ago).

[@kerrryschultz2904]

For the most part beautiful work but did I miss something. Where is the roof insulation.

[@h.rutten2187]

Nice house, the only thing I would like to see is either some nice planks or split tree bolted on the foundations covering up the concrete structure. Just some bolted on half a tree with split tree uprights in front of or around the pillars so that it’s carrying its own weight but bolted onto the building. If you add on a carport you can also add a second level terrace balcony in the same style as the house. Or you build a tiled roof under a pitch that’s just ends up under the house it’s ground floor beam with the same roof tiles as the house. This would you bring the concrete beam and pilar structure into the building and you could get away simply covering them up with big one piece cut planks. I think it would change the whole style of the house especially if you cover up the concrete and add some natural rock/ bolders Seth as foundation rock for carport upright logs, two bolders on the beginning of the driveway etc. hiding the modern bringing in some natural shapes complimenting the log structure even more.

[@davelarsen9847]

Patrick, I haven't made time to watch this video until now and what a nice time I've just had! This is by far your best effort. It is very professional having cool effects, tons of information, and lots of variety. I am so happy for you to have that house, and a little envious! Hahaha. Been wondering why your smiling face hasn't popped up on my feed. Looks like you are taking a well deserved break from making and posting videos.This one has quite a few views now! Your channel is growing my friend and all your hard work is paying off. I look forward to your next installment, I'm excited to see the interior finishes and especially the stair case. Nic did a pretty elaborate stair with your help so I'm anxious to see what you come up with for your house. I can't tell you how appealing your home and property are and it looks like it will be so comfortable to live in. Keep posting my friend!

Logging is one of the foremost resouces that keep Kanada's economy afloat. To add insult to injury local mills here ship 8x8s directly to china and asia where real-value added takes place but we love our walmarts n wayfairs (all wood products like tables, chairs, cupboards, etc. now come from offshore).

If your worried about a few tress being cut down go plant a few more if you looked behind them there's a big forest behind them

[@birgitriff2010]

Bla,bla,bla!

[@sandrajohnson9926]

It's good forest management to thin the trees. It makes more rainfall available to other trees, opens the canopy, & gives brambles & other plants to grow beneath which benefits the creatures. God bless. Many die in drought so cut them down & cut lumber. Or use for firewood.

[@dol3980]

Central Europeans are for real. Western Euros are WEF sheeple, and believe John Kerry is saving the planet as he goes to Davos to meet Klaus in his private jet. Greta was a joke when Rebel News (Ezra Levant) interviewed her and asked her how she got to Davos last week (she flew 1st Class).

@@dol3980 No one says you can't build wood houses. What we all say though once you take the wood out from the woods make sure you plant back the same number of trees that you used to build that house. It's only fare. If I would have money to buy an electric car I would buy it tomorrow. Do you get it now? Take 40-50 years for a tree to grow and takes only 10 minutes to cut it down. How is that fare?

[@dol3980]

@@andreiiasi Poland has a very good forestry policy, and the forests around Gdansk/Kartuzy area are pristine and well managed. By contrast look at the clear cutting in Brazil/Colombia for coffee beans/cattle/soy crops, Malaysia for rubber, Burma for mahogany/teak, and clear cutting of 1000 year old Sitka Spruce on BC coast in Canada, all shipped to China, and trudeau is concerned about climate change (LOL). I cut 20 hardwood trees for wood heating and try to only cut dead and diseased ones and weed out aspen (junk tree). EVs r a joke, as they take 20x more fossil fuels to build then IC equivalents - do the math.

[@andreiiasi]

@@dol3980 I am not bothered what Canada or China or who else you want me to bothered. I am bothered about you...have you plant any trees to replace the trees you cut down? That's the million dollar question. It's easy to take but very hard to replace.
