Making an Entrance: Slim's Fixer Upper Part 33

[@llaeeZ]

I enjoy this series as much as your camper fixing and travels. And im sure a lot feel the same way.

[@TimHedges-qf3xk]

I totally agree with you, most enjoyable watching the cabin improve as time goes by.

[@suzanneta8]

For someone who said they don't have much experience in remodeling, you sure are doing nice work, Slim. Impressed with your designs as well. Happy rehabbing!

[@harrydog541]

Oh my gosh!! I love those doors. Perfect addition to your beautiful cabin in the woods. What a long way from our days with you in the old A frame trailer huh? I'm so happy for you. Hope your daughter comes and visits often. Take care Slim.💕💕

[@bafergs]

Great way to repurpose the old doors. They sure keep the theme of cabin life alive. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures.

[@lacylobdell7455]

I LOVE those doors! Don’t clean em up ‘too’ much, they have so much character💞. And you did a great job installing them

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

Always a pleasure when Slim posts a new video!

[@nickboucher1884]

We miss you Slim , really enjoy your channel. Can’t wait for the next one

[@SlimPotatohead]

Sorry, I've been shooting but not editing. I had to get things done before my rental equipment goes back in the morning, but will return to editing later in the week. thanks!

[@bettyhudson979]

Good morning 🌞 Slim. Glad to see you back. You’re a Superman and a jack of all trades. Your workmanship is always top notch 👍🏽

[@BJ-qr2bj]

Hanging double doors in an opening that is not square requires some advanced carpentry skills. Nice job.

[@rrhopewell]

I love seeing the cabin coming together.

[@gigi3242]

Double doors, so much better than crawling through a window. Little cabin is looking loved; you made a lot of progress this Summer. Thanks for the video, have a wonderful weekend.

[@carriemainquist757]

Cracking up at the hypnosis part. Laughed out loud!

[@mosalinas7976]

God bless you!❤

[@BurntHashbrowns]

Very musical episode. Sister sledge, Hammer Time, I'll do it my way. Very nice, Slim 😂😂. Another great episode.

[@tompuckett9937]

Hey Slim! I always enjoy any and all of your videos!!! You travel to sooooooo many beautiful and interesting destinations. But for some strange reason I REALLY enjoy your videos about the cabin. My favorite was making and installation of your toilet. It was a really interesting and super funny show!!! I always admire your abilities to take on any projects you encounter!!!! I was a tool maker for 50+ years and could hold .0001 (one tenth of a thousandth), but when making any thing out of wood, I was really challenged to try to hold a measurement within 1/4” every stinking time. Thanks a million Slim for all the many hours of enjoyment you produce for all of us!!!!!

[@DGardhouse]

As always, I enjoy your videos thank you for posting/sharing

[@Janer-52]

Those doors hang beautifully. It's hard enough to hang one door - lining up double doors can be a nightmare. You made it a dream.

[@jennyleef1775]

It's almost bedtime here in Australia so I thought before I head for my shower I'd check if you had a new video up yet. So glad I did. You're making great progress on your sweet little home. ❤

[@arleneesserine1766]

Good morning. Awesome addition. Rain Rain Rain seems like it’s raining on every video. But no leaks.

[@SlimPotatohead]

Morning!

[@okcantbelieveit294]

I can hear the dulcet tones of Slim singing: I did it my way!

[@maryj1754]

The addition is looking great…

[@davec9244]

Place is looking good. Nice job, thank you!

[@joanscotto5822]

The cottage looks fantastic ... Love those old entrance doors ... Great job !!!

[@ramonapuckett3059]

Great job, Slim! And I’m going to look into the craftswoman, those spinners are a good idea! 🩷

[@oldgandy5355]

Nice job Slim! I always enjoy your adventures, and your cabin is one of your best so far.

[@susanstrickland6774]

Great job on the entrance, and doors. They fit great!!! Beautiful deer. Like the spinners, bet that works.

[@judyabernathy80]

Cabin looks great, Slim! So glad you got the spinners for the birds’ safety. You’re a good, caring, guy. ♥️🙏🏼♥️

[@Dj-zz]

Like your ingenuity & skill. Your Cabin is looking great. I’m envious. Enjoy. .

Now that I've watched twice in two days my soul is satiated and I can go forth into the week with spirit. Thanks and cheers from the flatlands of Alberta. M

[@donnabarr5222]

The doors look beautiful! I always look forward to your new videos.❤

[@doughnut1107]

Those doors are great, I can't wait to see them rejuvenated

[@nava8529]

Slim, you make all this work look easy… and the adversities it’s just the journey. I love watching you remodel your cabin.

[@lindaroyal8161]

Pretty cool that you saved the French doors to reuse them, I'm all about upcycling & repurposing. They look good for that space.

[@lsherry2429]

You make everything look so easy 😊

[@keen1957]

Very good project sir. Looks wonderful!

[@brkaz5864]

Oh my goodness. Mushrooms and fall approaching. We've had day after week, after month of over 100 F weather and horrendous damaging monsoon storms with still another month to go. Fall sounds like heaven. Glad to see you back Slim and love the doors they add something to the room.

[@bigguyprepper]

I’ll tell you what slim, you might not be a “professional” remodeler, but you’re sure doing a great job from what I’ve been able to see. Thanks for taking us along

[@NeilenaSchroers]

Thanks Slim for sharing my Windspinners! I think they will work perfectly!!❤️❤️❤️

[@SlimPotatohead]

You are so welcome!

[@user-Bee3939]

Ohhhh! Those are cool spinners!

[@novampires223]

Oh, those are lovely old doors, going to look great.

[@jeff_newriver6350]

I just wanted to say thank you for all the content. I am at New River, working on an older cottage. I lack your skill level…. But draw inspiration from your story telling. I am completing a small solar project and it won’t be quite as fancy as your foldable panel case - but it will be close. I hope life is better for you now and don’t worry about the last live event (I know - you deleted it). You touch a lot of people in positive means…. but the trips and cottage also touch 😅 a lot of folks so thanks for being you… with the example that many of us can follow. Great work Slim!!

[@o.smallwood4268]

Another nice job Slim. That looks like a nice idea for the bird deterrent. I was thinking of a wind chime as well. If like to hear them naturally. Thanks for bringing us along and look forward to seeing the cedar shack shingle siding.

[@Jan-pw4po]

Great progress on the cabin, it's something I could live in full time

[@thizizliz]

Oh that addition is nice. I really enjoy all your projects - it's fun to see what you come up with and how you make things work. Saving those old doors made a nice addition. Open they will create great air flow but closing them if you don't want to heat the new room will be a bonus too.

[@pamflowers8364]

Where we live, hanging silhouettes of owls by the corners of the house on posts or in the windows works well to prevent birds from approaching. They still hang around, just not too close to the house.

[@raktoda707]

What a joy and inspiration you are!

[@cheriecronin7688]

Your build is coming along swimmingly. ❤

[@lindacondray7918]

We came up your way in July and visited the Bay of Fundy area. We stopped at a restaurant in Alma and it turned out our waitress was the daughter of the Shire Campground owner. We shared a fond chuckle at your interview with her father. They have quite a family history in that area. Thanks for your videos of travels in that beautiful area. I highly recommend to anyone visiting going back and looking at your videos!

[@pagewhite61]

Great video Slim, the doors are great. Good idea about the spinners!

[@SusanTrelease]

You do such excellent carpentry work! I love both the cabin and the beautiful property.

[@johnnylightning1491]

That eagle looks pretty menacing. Keep the good stuff coming.

[@whitneykovener]

Wow Slim, you made hanging those doors look easy! It's also nice to know you make the same face I do when sawing vertically. LOL

[@elsestelema6273]

It’s going great and I love the bird scarers❤

[@christopherweidensee6133]

Hey Slim, I kinda' like the sped-up sound while watching all the work being performed. It's rather relaxing like an ASMR session. The cabin is really beginning to take shape, and I can't wait to see it from the outside with siding. You can always work on the inside in the colder months...just stoke up the woodstove. Nice. 😊

[@bobcumbers4316]

Bird spinners, good idea

[@wsk38]

Hammer time. Hehe. Slim I love your channel. I love you do it your way. The cabin is so cool. The camping and travel is awesome. Has your daughter “ tater tott” seen the cabin? Cute kid. You are a natural in front the camera. That shows thru.

[@angelapietras1235]

Yippie been waiting for a video,you are doing a great job Slim,and I love the wind charms to stop the birds flying into your ranch sliders.

[@patu3851]

Hey, love watching the vids. You mentioned in a previous cabin episode you don't intend on living at the cabin, and I know you travel alot. So is thr cabin a holiday location, which is pretty cool with the woodland snd water.. well done on you for being adaptable, reclaiming reusing recycling and being adaptable enough to learn

[@whatsamacallit3833]

Handy as hell you are Slim.Love the doors! They look fantastic. And a great fit. Good job!!

[@richardthomas1743]

[@maobfh]

I am loving the progresss!

[@ruththompson9369]

So glad I got your video today, I ordered a barndoor curtain for my big window doors and I never had an issue and I got them from Temue and love the old barndoor in my house..

[@ellafly3490]

We live in a rural area with lots of birds. We absolutely love our view and find the stickers to prevent bird strikes doesn’t interfere at all with our view. Some are nearly transparent. The birds see the reflection of the sky and trees and cannot differentiate that from the real thing. I believe the loss of birds due to striking glass as a whole is very high. I also found crystal chandelier strings on marketplace for $2 string. I hang them in the windows where we had the most problems. And they are pretty.

[@JAMESMT-mm6zl]

Good save on those doors. They do fit your overall vision for the cabin. Enjoyed the video a lot. Thanks for sharing.

[@bypinkerton892]

I love your Cabin Series.... I love your Cabin.... The Kitchen & these Doors are Really Nice.... You've made a Great Deck & Snack Bar... You've Created a Great Place to Be... Thanks for Sharing...

[@dalepointer9414]

Doors Entry is a must Doors do well An area with dust Hammer and toe-nail Door of opportunity Doors to enter Doors to expand the mind Doors to close in winter The doors of life Open ones and closed Mystical doors to explore And ones bought from Lowe's Slim has opened many Many doors of travel Forest, beaches and deserts Roads with adphalt and gravel Yes, doors Entrance a must Doors of life Doors we trust

[@SlimPotatohead]

Rhyming "Closed" with "Lowes" was brilliant! You're gifted Dale!

[@glenysperry3421]

I like the buzzing noise, indicates how you are as busy as a bee.

[@mikegage4933]

WOW - you did a fantastic job preparing the opening and installing the doors! I have remodeled a couple of old "out of square" homes in my time and it is not easy. Time lapse makes it look like a "breeze" - perhaps that would have helped me😁🤣

[@LazyDaisyDay88]

When you don't post for a week I worry you're trapped under a tree or a black bear or something :-) Glad to see you back. Nice progress! You should definitely name your fixer-upper. It needs a name.

[@Jeh110]

Omg! No kidding😊 like when he was crawling underneath the jankey cabin trying to make it level. I was freaked out watching. He is amazing.

[@33R3X]

[@janingham1823]

Looking at some earlier videos again… time for another tater tot visit. She would be so impressed on how nice your cabin is looking.

[@newenglandpats59]

Glad your back! It’s been Slim Pick’nz for content on the Tube.

[@zachlafond2652]

I put a lot of that aluminum soffit in last spring. I had to make a jig to cut them with my circular saw and those cut pieces than are made to slide into one another.

[@brucel399]

Very nice frame work for the doors. Cant wait to see how you refinish them. My inlaws use wind spinners like those to keep the birds from kamikazing into their glass doors as well. Have a great weekend. X CHEERS from Colorado

[@contrafax]

I enjoy watching you improve your cabin, I hope your spinners work on the birds.

[@bertadelaudebri7179]

Thank you, fellow NBer; as always, I truly enjoyed viewing your video.

[@aglioammuffito1300]

Slim! I feel so guilty after that little "discussion" we had a while ago about music. Not that I think what I say has any impact on you, but when I said I didn't like the music and would rather hear you talk, that's exactly it. I enjoy listening to you talk. I don't dislike that you have music in your videos. You should always make your videos the way you want them. If you're happy when you've finished editing, then that's great. You're an amazing personality on KZbin. Always do what Slim does best-be yourself.

[@pattiwhite9575]

When I saw the sledge hammer I knew you meant business. I was hoping for some head banging music to go in right at that point. Your new old reclaimed double doors are going to look so good there. Just imagine if someone from the past came back to look at what you have done with the place and realizes you have added those doors in a new direction.

[@samdevallance1527]

Wow Slim so much work you have done on the extension it looks awesome 👍👍

[@VanlifeBlackpearl]

Your such an inspiration

[@mrjack8849]

The work you have done on this cabin is amazing. Thanks for sharing your efforts. I also just rediscovered your Blues video on your website. It is one of favorites.

[@stevengreco5897]

Great video Slim!

[@stevefigueroa6716]

Always enjoy your videos. Lots of creative ways to problem solve. Carry on, sir. 😊

[@Joe_HamRadioGuy]

Great job slim. Always love seeing your creativity and ideas. Your cabin is coming out great. I love the wind spinners. Why anyone would want to cover the door in stickers is beyond me. Keep up the great work and enjoy.

[@originalsixx]

Your cabin is really looking nice, Slim.

One of mans best inventions for demolition and renovations the sawsall right along side of cordless tools

[@SlimPotatohead]

What's a sawsall?

[@douglaswindsor120]

@@SlimPotatohead a sawsall is basically a jigsaw on steroids although its a brand name everybody just uses it to identify any tool with blades coming out of the end of the saw they have a bigger stronger blade than jigsaws I used one to take down a house once the builder hadn't thought of the fact that the house was 2 foot from the property line and the neighbor glassed in porch was on the property line and a bulldozer or track hoe would have a hard time in demolition of the house without damaging the neighbours porch so when I ask him if I could salvage anything I could use he said to me that I could have anything I wanted all I had to do was lay the roof and walls on the floor his biggest problem was the owner of the house didn't want bad relations with the neighbours and if he damage the porch or called to report it I'm pretty sure the tool you used to open up the wall was a sawsall you might know it as a resiprocating saw maybe where you are at they did not sell it until the rest of the competition came out since it was a trade mark they couldn't use the name so just called it by how it worked

[@warrenmarko3334]

​@@SlimPotatohead sawzall is a reciprocating saw

[@MsOldschool65]

Hello, I learned 30 years ago from the caretaker of the nature center I worked at that if birds can see their shadow on the glass they won't crash into it. My boss showed me how to get black craft paper and make an outline of a bird in flight about life-size and cut it out and tape to the window at a slight angle to replicate a shadow. You only need a couple of them for the birds to see them and avoid the windows

[@novampires223]

I have noticed that after a few years the birds seem to learn that there is a new obstacle to go around. Once they figure that out they don't fly into them anymore. But the shadow cut outs are a great idea.

[@leedanielson7452]

Hey Slim, use a yellow highlighter to draw patterns or lines on your window, this will keep birds from striking the window. I used this method over the summer and it has worked excellent. We haven’t had any birds hit our large window and you can barely see any markings from the highlighter. It’s a win win.

[@authorleetee]

In NB too, and also working on a property, have found that the only way to get much done over the past two months is start at 7, finish before noon, then have a beer or two.
