Looking Good! Slim's Cabin Fixer Upper Part 19

[@derick-smith]

Beer equivalent to a blow up doll... definitely my new favorite Slim line. What an absolute legend. I appreciate your content so much!

[@paulaj7682]

I absolutely love your new "window seat." Rustic is such an inviting esthetic, and it lends itself so well to repurposing, diying and making do with what you have. Have you named your cabin? You were the one to see such potential in the poor old thing. Everyone advised you to tear her down and start over. Now she is blossoming anew thanks to your hard work and perseverance. She's turning into a stunner.

[@mikepatton9537]

You've done an amazing job on remodeling the cabin, Slim! I'm inspired by your abilities and creativeness- love the rough trip around the window! I also enjoyed the video of the Turkeys and the Deer very much! Thanks for taking time to make this video and post it for us!

[@hopeheavenonplanetearth1417]

OMG! You never cease to amaze me! I love starting my mornings with Slim! Your work is beautiful and your humor lightens my heart. Thank you 🙏

[@elainecrawford6891]

Thinking the same...😂🤣😂😅

[@WIZ-IN-PA]

"But decorating your face with fake genitalia, you know I think that only works in the turkey world" 🤣🤣🤣 Got a stomach cramp from laughing so hard at that one! Good stuff Slim!

[@SolarSailor1967]

When finished, Slim should show a before & after shot of each area of the cabin. It would truly demonstrate the remarkable transition.

[@huntsonora]

“Beer equivalent of a blow up doll, looks like beer but has no personality” 😂😂😂😂😂. That’s hilarious

[@candyalexander2196]

Why someone would criticize your efforts blows me away..its YOUR place and YOUR money and time..thanks for bringing us along u have a good eye

[@donnasnorthernlights2089]

You are a true craftsman. The room is beautiful. ❤

[@ve2vfd]

$120 for that lovely pine is a steal! Good job, it really looks nice.

[@angelapietras1235]

Pat D it would cost a fortune in Newzealand.

[@SandraVanLankvelt]

Beautiful job for sure on that wall and window trim. Absolutely love your drop down table under the window. That is a prime spot for relaxing, eating and simply just watching the critters outside. You have many gifts for sure. Thank you for this video and God Bless.

[@tinaorr2723]

Wow! So awesome to see the deer and turkeys! They really trust you and you must be feeding them well eh?

[@SlimPotatohead]

I'm sure there is some trust, however they don't get much food from me. If Prudence comes by she may get a handful of corn, but here friends typically keep their distance. The turkeys however have a large territory they forage from so I don't see them often. The large group of over 50 only passes by every few weeks, but they do remember me. They eat ticks, so the exchange is mutual! SP

[@elvirak.schuller9449]

Turkeys, deer and a woodpecker within the first two minutes, this episode is off to a great start!! 🦃 ❤ (edited) The cabin is looking great, love the warm wood tones!

[@BrassLock]

I have to admit that when you first bought the cabin, my heart sank. 😮 That roof covered in black rotting leaves, the sagging foundations, the strange lean-to wall facing the lake-view. Ooh! What a costly mess. A bloomin' _Disaster !_ How wrong I was, as I now realise I was merely projecting my own inability to "see properly" the way a sculptor does when they view _a lump of rock_ 😊 but only see the great possibilities hidden within. Thanks Slim, for turning a 🥔 Potato into a Meal 😅

[@jeffhoward9186]

The cabin in the woods is coming together and looking great.

[@vickypastrana1245]

You never fail to crack me up with your narrative contents.

[@steamyb2]

Lol at the blow up doll. I have been home brewing beer since 2010 and you may want to check into the laws in Canada. Home brew is also a lot cheaper than any other beer. And the kits are as easy as making soup. I even made my own beer when my wife and I were full time in an RV for 3 years. Love the videos!

[@paulaj7682]

Hopefully you inspire Slim enough that we get a beer making video! That would be a treat.

[@SlimPotatohead]

I used to brew my own beer but couldn't handle the bottling. All the cleaning and mess made me wanna drink! SP

[@thomaswilliams2273]

Yes, that comment cracked me up.

[@dalepointer9414]

I too brewed my own beer. One day I took a six pack to work for my boss. He put it in his truck. it was a super hot day. Super hot. It took us awhile to clean the mess up. Exploded like a bomb. The next day, his wife said: ' Did you throw a drunk'?

[@_GntlStone_]

@@SlimPotatohead I wonder if you can you use Ball canning jars instead? I'd imagine longneck bottles would be a pain to clean and fill. Would they be spoil if they are kept in a dark, cool/cold place prior to consumption?

[@donnahanson7282]

The window trim turned out beautifully. Nice job, Slim.

[@Troutay]

Ah Slim - every video has a new idea, a view of nature, a twist of humor (or humour), and a beer (or not). Again, thank you!

[@Kb-cz9ch]

It's raining it's pouring watching slim is never boring

[@JerryChambliss]

Last night, after watching your "window seat" video, my wife and I scrolled back to many of your previous videos and came across the one when you announced your 100,000 subscribers. It's been such a pleasure to follow you these past four years. You are an artist, indeed. You make the best travel videos of all youtubers. Job well done!

[@markclark787]

The window trim looks great, a contractor would charge extra for that look.

[@tonyrodgers6730]

Mr. Slim, you are making that cabin a true treasure! Something I think a lot of people dream of doing but very few ever see their dream come true. Looks like you’re about there. Good luck!

[@2breezy]

Hahaha the blow up doll analogy. Was not expecting that 😂😂

[@karlbaschal3245]

Very beautiful job putting paneling inside your cabin. You certainly have an eye for design. I envy that. The turkeys are a bonus plus too. Nice video.

[@ndlz1]

No, humans are into changing (by obliterating theirs).🤦🏻‍♀️ Most beautiful workmanship with nature’s simplicity.😍

[@Jan-pw4po]

I don't drink alcohol anymore buti tried that Molson, yuck, O Douls Dark isn't bad. Great job on the cabin updates

[@ladikmk]

Yes, the cabin’s interior is definitely “looking good” Slim. Your property looks like a wildlife sanctuary, and what a wonderful view that provides. Thanks for sharing and allowing us to enjoy it as well.

[@ronjoiner]

Try Libra non alcoholic beer from PEI. The IPA upstreet is very good, I can actually taste some hopiness. And only 50 calories!

[@bikingal4283]

who knew male turkeys were so beautiful?? and your window seat is gorgeous... I agree that piece of wood was a good catch... lastly the sound of the rain on your roof, even with that drizzly view outside, is so relaxing...who needs psychotherapy when you have such a place as yours...good job again, thanks

[@jodiklebs1288]

Your "Blowup Doll" comment....The. Best. Thing. You.Have. EVER. Said!!😂😂😂😂 Fantastic!!!!!!

[@daves3016]

Wow that wall, window and table turned out excellent, love the live edges and natural shapes. Keep up the good work Slim.

[@maryyarwood4691]

I absolutely love the way you framed out the twin windows and added the flip up table. They are awesome 🥰

[@baronistheone]

Another great edition of "This ole Slim's House"! Your craftsmanship and mental thoughts to craftsman design are inspiring.

[@toronado455]

It's really starting to have the vibe of a This Old House type of show!

[@_GntlStone_]

So when do you start the small batch home brew beer making? Slim's Summer Lager? Potatohead Pilsner? 😁🤭🍻 Is that a possible miniseries project?

[@SlimPotatohead]

Not a project for a traveler. Beer does not brew itself, it needs to be monitored and kept from freezing. With my long periods away and no heat, this just can't happen, sorry! SP

[@championslayers]

Damn, that looks fantastic. You're the perfect combination of engineer and artist Slim.

[@joannecanetti7481]

Love what you did in your future kitchen. Everything looks fantastic. You trimmed out that window perfectly. Also, your humor is my favorite thing about watching you Slim. You always put a big smile on my face. 😊

[@Jonty_and_Chantal]

Can we send you a couple of our favourite non-alcoholic beer from a micro-brewery in Victoria? Phillips makes a great Hazy IPA!

[@contrafax]

LOVE your progress and your wildlife documentary. Gorgeous birds!!!! The room looks so much better after the Slim Touch.

[@АлексейЗахаров-ц2и4с]

Молодец , Slim ты продуманный хозяин, главное ты энергетически независим, всё продуманно. Кратковременно ты можешь использовать переменный ток 220 до 1500Ват (1,5 Кв) думаю зимой холодильник может быть и на улице, а вот подачу воды и чтоб вода не замерзала +глубинный насос это надо довести до совершенства. И дровами (лучше берёзовыми запастись на всю зиму!) освещение есть, тепло есть, запасной генератор есть, я беспокоюсь о утеплении твоего жилища (толщина стен 150 мм из экструдированного пенополистирола это решит! Пол и потолок надо 200-250 мм таково же пеностирола + покрытие стеклосеткой с обоих сторон с шпаклевкой тонким слоем. Причём не надо ветро-парозащиты -так как сам экструдированный пенополистирол воду, пар не пропускает (производители гарантируют ему 50 лет выполнение его теплоизоляционных свойств. 50 мм -это как 200 мм древесина!!!!! Так уже делают в Беларусии И в России на Дачах, Садово-огородных участках -прочные, крепкие, легко соединяются посредственно брусков 50*50мм:50*100мм, 50*150, 50*200мм и так далее -листы 60см, длина 120см , легко режется, ножовкой зубьями делается шероховатой и главное легко соединяется между👉❗👈 досками и спец пеной (пена-клей, крепятся! Как раз 59см между брусками!) этот материал плохо горит и нет ядовитых паров! Это будущее. Но не пенопласт!!! Из пенополистирола изготавливается посуда для доширака, запаривается вермишель,! Подумай, я не производитель, я просто врач, на пенсии как и ты, просто есть сайт,, Яши Косяка,, который крышу, стены, полы, грядки этим материалом на ближайшие 50 лет себе сделал!!! Всех благ тебе и твоим подписчикам, мира, тепла, воды качественной, электричества и еды!!!

[@jojob211]

Love the pine walls!! Love the breakfast shelf!

[@rrhopewell]

I love how you’re keeping it rustic.

[@krazedvintagemodel]

I enjoy renovations that are harmonious with their surroundings, like yours. You deserve a real beer. Cheers!

[@ADWorcestershire]

So glad I came back to viewing your Channel. Truly enjoyed the camping videos but now the remodeling ones.

[@russrockino-rr0864]

Slim, when you have combustible material such as wood added to your walls, you should use extension boxes on your device boxes instead of spacers. Without out them, a fire in the box could catch the wood on fire. That is code in the US, and I think the Canadian code is similiar. It cost more money, but it is much safer. I enjoy all your videos, but especially the Cabin videos. Keep up the good work. Awesome wild Turkey footage. Thanks, Russ, Electrician from Oregon.

[@karolmolitor4675]

The cabin is looking great. Can't wait to see what comes next in the restoration. ❤

[@ralphthomas5798]

That whole project is awesome the window trim and the table with the view, can’t wait for breakfast.

[@henryescat1104]

The natural edge you did on that window trim looks so beautiful.

[@magalirodriguez7830]

What a beautiful job! I love those trims! On the first window when you put that top piece that just sealed it ! And that table is gorgeous! Oh man I could t stop laughing when you compared the beer to a blow up doll lol you’re such a character and your video are always a joy to watch no matter the subject

[@1954shadow]

You nailed it with that, live edge window trim!

[@averagealice8877]

Gorgeous paneling and trim! Wood windows would have been nice but they’re costly. Loved seeing those magnificent turkeys as well.

[@billsexton8073]

The breakfast table window trim is very nice.

[@projekt6_official]

Hey Slim, Looks FANTASTIC! I love the fold up breakfast bar. Keep up the excellent work! A couple safety tips to do what you want with: 1 - Make sure any rags you use for finishes get laid out flat to dry before tossing them - they could catch fire if balled up. 2 - With the table saw - best practice to not wear gloves. If by some chance they were to get into the blade, there's a possibility it'll pull your hand into the blade more.

[@gertrudrobinson815]

You take amazing videos! It is like you have a camera crew following you around👍🥳👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@jimmyrants4342]

The spacers are a great idea so your plates will be flush with the wall. Great tip Slim. The cabin is progressing nicely.

[@mrodriguez9922]

All is looking Fantastic!!!! I truly enjoy watching all of your videos! Thank you Slim 👍

[@donreding314]

You could be on a TV show your voice is magnetic, very appealing.

[@lovenature1354]

Great work! We really like the window trim and the little table. The walls look perfect too. It is always fun watching the renos.

[@Onemattressatatime]

Never thought you were going to become a finish carpenter , did you great job

[@faithrada]

Trying to remember what the original Cabin 'Walk Thru' was like. Slim's 'sweat Equity' has created a delightful Forrest Retreat. Why am I not surprised. Btw Slim.... Love how you priced out the electric usage... we just did an energy audit on our house... pretty sobering.😂

[@RiverOtter1000]

I really love what you've done with the live edge lumber. It really adds to the cabin's rustic feel. On another note and from a licensed electrical contractor here in the States, there is one point I would make on how you covered those existing outlet boxes. I'm not sure what Canada requires in the way of electrical codes so my comment here is strictly for the benefit of your State side viewers and not to hammer you on what you did. Here in the States almost all jurisdictions (with some exception) follow NFPA 70 (National Electrical Code - published by the National Fire Protection Association). Article 314 of the 2020 version of the NEC is titled Outlet, Device Pull & Junction Boxes; Conduit Bodies, Fittings; & Handholes. Subsection 314.20 addresses Flush Mounted Installations. That subsection prohibits what you did with the Gardner Bender spacers at 5:50 in the video. Section 314.20 mandates that for installations within or behind a noncombustible surface, the front edge of the box, plaster ring, extension ring, or listed extender will not be set back of the finished surface more than 6mm (1/4 in.). So in that regard and for most of us watching here in the States, your Gardner Bender spacers will suffice as long as the gap is no greater than 1/4" and the surface is noncombustible. However, Subsection 314.20 goes on to state that for installations within a "surface of wood" or other combustible surface material, boxes, plaster rings, extension rings, or listed extenders shall extend to the surface or project therefrom. So in that regard, the Gardner Bender spacers don't actually provide a code compliant solution to the dilemma of the existing outlet box being recessed behind the wood paneling and drywall when used here in most jurisdictions of the U.S. NFPA 70's purpose is to provide a consensus based standard that enhances the safe use of electricity. The point of the second half of 340.20 being that arcing within the box, in the event of an inadvertently opened splice where the wiring intermittently contacts a grounded surface (steel outlet box, bonding conductor, etc.) could ignite the combustible surface and start a fire. I understand that building codes are only good to the point that they are enforced. If there's no inspector, there's no enforcement unless done by yourself, but that requires an informed knowledge of the code itself; therefore, the purpose of my comment here. Thanks for sharing your renovation work with us and the great ideas you communicate through them.

[@wthurman5910]

Wow that was a fantastic video of the turkeys putting on their show. Love how your kitchen, dining room is coming along. The window table is very inviting.Paradise is coming along nicely. Slim you are a man of many talents and imagination.Thank you for sharing your wonderful video 🙏❤️✌️☕i

[@samstlm]

Terrific job on the carpentry…the non-alcoholic beer, well, good luck with that project!

[@sweetpolly121]

You seem to know how to do anything when it comes to fixing up your cabin and RV, and you make it look easy ❤️

[@SlimPotatohead]

Most things are pretty easy if you've got time and a little patience. Best way to learn! SP

[@lindawoods6841]

Awesome to see all the deer and the turkeys. The pine looks really nice.

[@christinae30]

The "kitchen" walls look so cosy and nice! The white lamps matches perfectly!

[@lindaroyal8161]

Oh how funny - Turkey face aka fake genitalia ha ha! Non alcoholic beer equivalent to a blow up doll, spit my coffee out!!! The wall looks really good, I like the rustic frame. Love the counter/table, it's perfect for that space, great place to oversee the world, well at least your neck of the woods. Its nice that you have a variety of gods creatures to visit & enjoy. I agree with other comments - the cabin needs a name. Maybe we should suggest some to vote on? Nicely done!

[@karencooper6634]

Im impressed, this cabins come a long ways. Such good work and the new boards add a warm cozy feeling.

[@GreatGrannyFreeBird]

The table you created is beautiful. Also love the way you trimmed out that feature window!

[@Julien987]

Nothing better than the good old Robertson screw.

[@danielmchugh9052]

Slim you are making an amazing cabin! Everyone of us loves it! Sweet window seat. Ancient Cinee secret..... when its wet outside get wet inside. Enjoy the brew and the view my friend.

[@weswalker1208]

You're doing a great job giving it a cabin feel blending in with nature with creatcher comfort

[@cherbear1996]

Great work Slim .tables lovely and the window trim adds cozy n comfort to your home..love watching the process.✌️❤️😊

[@folonrng]

ahhhh... it's all coming together. such an experience. i anticipate each of your videos with highly! stay safe, stay healthy and hope you are happy!

[@Janer-52]

From the majestic turkeys in the beginning, to that turkey of a beer at the end, another beautiful video. The kitchen looks amazing. Thanks for sharing.

[@KatyInNH]

I saw what you did there - Haha 😂

[@ftkinsella]

Slim I really like the idea of a breakfast spot with a view. That will be a great spot to relax. She is looking good buddy. Cheers brother.

[@maryberon4193]

Your cabin looks like the ones I stayed in on Lake Minnewawa in MN when I was a kid. I love the knotty pine. That says cabin to me! I think I'd rather drink a light beer than non alcoholic. Something in the beer does wonders for my digestion.

[@daneboro6847]

Cabin is coming along nicely Slim love it, definitely a cozy little slice of heaven👍

[@daretodream...898]

Hi Slim, I LOVE the live edge trim around the window. So beautiful!! ... Cheers!

[@kathyrobert9859]

Looking good Slim! Enjoyed seeing the turkeys and deer just outside your house … so cool being close to nature

[@Mimiw28]

Love the rustic live edge table and trim. The room looks so warm and cozy. Great job Slim.

[@SOFISINTOWN]

Awwww, SO pretty! 👍 👍. Great job with this window frame!

[@zachlafond2652]

Slim i've been working on my house on and off when i have time for 10 years. It never ends. Doing siding now. Keep it real homie.

[@shenry4485]

I LOVE how the cabin is coming together. It’s going to be beautiful when done. Lucky man.

[@baconwhiskey821]

Nice work with the live edge window trim! I wouldn't get much done when the Turkeys dropped by, except drink coffee.

[@mskraftee5252]

Wow, Slim, that slab window trim is amazing! Overall, the cabin is really shaping up!

[@janh8847]

Love the live edge trim and table etc., also love your wildlife and nature shots. You’re our favourite KZbinr Slim!

[@sylviajones4907]

Excellent! A comedic carpenter. ♡ Thanks for tips & laughs.

[@lizcaporicci8483]

Great video, Slim. I love the window frame, especially the top piece. So rustic-looking. As well, there is the spring and summer to look forward to as you proceed with the renos. It will be more pleasant to do these in warmer weather. Greetings from Ontario.

[@YMS137]

The paneling and table look beautiful and makes the cabin so much more homey!

[@originalsixx]

Love seeing all of the wildlife around the cabin. Do you stay at the cabin often?

[@SlimPotatohead]

I visit it almost every day, but will resume my overnights as soon as it warms up a little. Thanks! SP

[@BeckTrekkin]

Slim I was going to ask the same thing and wondered where you sleep when you’re not there? Did you buy a house or do you stay in the camper?

[@michellebevans3847]

That window though! I absolutely adore everything about it! Beautiful job Slim!

[@lisak6226]

That thumbnail is fantastic 😂.

[@regular-joe]

Before and after comparisons are always satisfying, I really liked how especially smooth this one was.

[@debuttaro4477]

I love what you did on the walls & window in your kitchen! So nice and homey.

[@csmith9189]

The cabin is progressing beautifully! Stay safe and warm 👍

[@virginiatolles1664]

Such personality you have given to that window! This is really interesting! Thank you, Slim, for sharing it with us.

[@lacylobdell7455]

Gosh Slim, I love watching you reno. I’m way down here in Louisiana and look forward to your projects. If I were closer, I’d help!

[@scottschultz687]

Cabin is coming along nicely slim! I miss the winter camping videos!

[@aprilfensom6412]

Loved the woodpecker in the background.
