Year One of Renovating My Scandinavian Log Cabin

[@PJsAllDayFR]

We hope you ignore the rude comments and ridiculous suggestions from people who have never renovated a house in Europe. We're in France, are serial renovators (stone houses), and have found the renovation of a timber house in Sweden to be fascinating. Thanks for sharing your process, and good luck from Brittany!

[@unreleasedrodeo]

This is what youtube was created for. Showing inspiration, creativity, and strongness in one video.

[@MarcusStorm]

Wow, thank you!

[@Amacott99]

You’ve inherited a treasure trove! What a magical place.

[@junkey6]

Wow, what a labor of love! Your enthusiasm and creativity are truly contagious. It’s amazing to watch the cabin come to life-thank you for sharing this heartfelt journey! 🌲💖

[@kaybetonoderlehm]

Pure nostalgia, don't let anyone take that away from you. When I was a child we had a coal/wood stove in the kitchen. That brings back memories. We always cleaned the surface with very fine sandpaper.

[@carolbulmer8253]

Hi, Marcus. You accomplished a lot in one year. I think that replacing the kitchen floor may have been the biggest task. You have done well👏👏👏👏👏

[@MarcusStorm]

Thank you! The kitchen floor was definitely the biggest project thus far

I am in love with the house. Sweden has to be a beauty place. To see such a house with earthen materials, has to be a joy to renovate. The bicycles in particular are such a time capsule along with all the newspapers. Enjoying the video.

[@maxwalchli5093]

I love to watch just listen to the sounds of the birds it so peaceful ! Great

[@marys7953]

What you are doing is amazing. I love all the old stuff you found and the way you are doing most of it by hand. Most people don’t do it that way but it’s just like the original. Keep up the great work

[@reynaldoday9395]

Tu responsabilidad, hace que el poquito de esperanza que hay en el corazón de la gente decente y preocupada por éste país, no se pierda, estoy muy orgullosa de que tengamos un Dominicano que nos represente. Gracias por estar, y que Dios te siga iluminado poniendo en tu boca las palabras que el país necesita oír. Tengo casi cuarenta años, de mi setenta y siete años saltando de UA. a RD. Añorando que un hombre honrado tome las riendas de éste país. Mi querido José me doy por vencida. Una anciana que te desea lo mejor. Damaris Day

I'm only 45 seconds in and I'm mesmerized. I loved it before you're even done!

[@rick343]

Looks like the place to be if you like rain as much as I do, beautiful country, really digging the house and property.

[@joycesingleton3464]

First time watcher, and I love seeing your renovations. Thanks for making this video so I can stop and start when I want and don’t have to find the next episode!

[@dottiebaker6623]

Thank you so much for condensing this last year into a lovely video. What a long way you've come in fixing up your house! Lots of work. Best wishes to you in the year to come.

[@spicynomad]

4 hours...you just created a prequel. sequel and a triquel. awesome!

[@MarcusStorm]

It was around 10h when I started editing. A lot had to be cut!

[@spicynomad]

@@MarcusStorm WOW!

[@debradevine3949]

What an amazing job you are doing on this home. Just love how you are staying true to it's character. ❤❤❤

[@my4everhome]

As always, I love watching your videos. This one was really really good. you have come along way in a year on that house fixing it up. Love you home. Beautiful. The best of everything to you. Take care

[@MarcusStorm]

Thank you very much!

[@jimbeamairstreams8455]

Hi Marcus, I spent the afternoon watching your video. I love everything about the house and property. Doing it the right way. I’ll be looking for more videos. Thank you

[@debidoo1644]

Woweee stunning ...your hardwork looking fantastic 💯👍😋

[@gingersnapt0144]

I just discovered your channel. What you accomplished in one year is amazing. That’s in between shoveling many feet of snow. I can’t wait to see the other changes coming. Good you have the other Storms to pitch in from time to time. Bravo 🎉 Very Excellent ❤

[@isabellaschwaiger9014]

Hello from Germany, congratulations for this great job. You built a wonderfull Cabin 😍

Guilty of skipping through some of that but have followed you for a while so a great reminder. Good luck for continuing the project and well done so far.

Hi, this would be my ultimate dream Marcus, and I have no skills renovating whatsoever! What a gorgeous place. 🖐🏻🇬🇧✨✨✨

[@MattiasDahlberg]

Kul att se. Jag bor i ett likande hus från år 1880 med min familj.

[@inkognitodane]

What a wonderful place you have, this is lovely - you have done so much in one year. Greetings from Copenhagen

[@jeffclarkejnr]

Swedish countryside looks like such a beautiful tranquil place. I think the people here in England have forgotten what it feels like to have a slow paced, relaxed way of life. That lifestyle here comes at a heavy price, like most things. I often say to friends and family I was born at the wrong time in the wrong country. If I wasn't trapped in the modern 100mph system of work sleep repeat(i resist it as much as I can), I think I'd like to live in Sweden for the nature, camping and clean air😁🍺

[@Over60sowhat]

What a truly wonderful video! Well done!!!! So beautiful!!

[@augustavaughan6506]

Just came across this video. Loving what you do and sharing with us. Beautiful.

I woke up the other day and this was on my television and watched it for a bit and it was alright. Now I find this actually so interesting and entertaining your amazing Marcus 👏👏👏.

[@elviraunwin8364]

You done really well renovating that place, it’s a pleasure watching your KZbin, thanks for sharing👍👏

[@giselecontassotdesayvre8090]

Bonjour, ravie...c'est une grande et belle maison endormie, figée dans le temps..où tout est resté en place...une très belle rénovation à prévoir..bon courage 😁

[@michelerearden756]

Wow u did a lot . I like the colors of the door and the windows that you choose. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@aaronjohnson9755]

I bet you felt like you hit the jackpot with all that free dried wood. Looks like a half cord? Splits super easy!

[@MarcusStorm]

Yes I really appreciated it this winter!

Isn't it amazing to see the progress you've made in just 1 year! So much dedicated hard work. Looking forward to the progress you make in this next year!

[@sk.honfleur4033]

Das sind tolle Gebäude und ein super Grundstück, so schön gelegen ❤. Das ist viel Arbeit, Sie haben schon so viel gemacht, mit einer unglaublichen Ruhe und Gründlichkeit, ich bin echt begeistert. Ein dickes Lob, dass Sie so ein Projekt angegangen sind, das ist endlos viel Arbeit. Danke für's Zeigen und ganz viel Erfolg weiterhin. Ein Wermutstropfen hat Ihr Video: Fast alle 10 Minuten wurde mir eine Werbung eingespielt. Nach ca. 1:45:00 mochte ich dann nicht mehr, es wurde mir zuviel. Da macht das Schauen kein Vergnügen mehr 👎... viele Grüße aus Deutschland, NRW, Münsterland 🤗.

Это мечта иметь такой домик в лесу 🥰 Господи услышь мои молитвы 😍

[@alenaperevalova75]

я всю жизнь мечтала домик не большой.а года полтора назад прямо вот чуть ли ни каждый день молилась чтоб наследство привалило какое нибудь, и вот в том году умирает сосед. и приходит сын. который после пол года приходит сын и спрашивает надо ли огород, а я бедно живу и говорю денег то нет а он тебе так отдам.вот и все переписал на меня.13 соток огород.яма.2 гаража больших и стайка хорошая.но правда в доме жить нельзя крыша валиться и сгнивший.я такая радостная и счасливая

[@Tastewithnewdrinks]

Great video😍

[@bennym1956]

Bigger house vs cabin. Alot of work but will look great when done.

[@user-ud6fd4sg9n]

Oh god, those stones, how big and how many, here where I live you have to pay a lot of money for big stones, I have one in my frontyard for decoration😂

[@tonjakuehn8983]

Nice camera angles. Looks like you did this renovation, well.

[@deranocasper]

Good morning Marcus is it possible you can do a video on why you chosen the Renault kangoo van as you have been using it alot for your restoration work 😀

[@MarcusStorm]

It's a simple reason really. My dad has a company and it used to be his employee's car. But since he stopped working for my dad it's sort of been a backup car. So I use it whenever I'm in Sweden.

[@almareynoso6579]

Wow is looking beautiful 😍

[@boaboa2673]

Marcos. Has pensado despejar un poco tu cabaña del bosque circundante.? Los grandes incendios están atacando a todo el mundo .

[@AMIRMORTAZAVI-mt3ul]

I enjoed the video. The gentleman is very clever. But in my view roofing should have been done initially as the first steps of renovation of such a nice heritage.❤

[@misafe1094]

Hi, seria bueno abrir las Ventanas ,al llegar a la casa, para ventilacion y mas aun si estas alli trabajando.Aun con Mascarilla, Evita tanto polvo.Te Felicito por tu trabajo.Hermoso lugar.Encontre hoy tu video y me alegra mucho; Suerte Marcus, desde Cordoba/Argentina.🌼🌞👍🇦🇷

some of those comics just might be worth money....could finance your whole reno! wouldn't that be nice! I hope so, here in the US people will pay for some like Superman and the like....hope you have some that will make you a profit. the kitchen floor reno was something else!! all those huge rocks...

[@Maajailm1314]

Hello from Estonia! 👋 Sutch a nice house you have got there! I'm watching with interest your progres of restoring it. I have a question. What are you adding on 2:05:40 to your plaster on stove top and why? Never seen anything like that added while repairing stoves. Looks like some pieces of metal? Very interesting! 😊

[@llightshope8283]

Love the house, love the video. :) I was a little confused about the way you did the kitchen floor. The beams looked in beautiful condition, and very well supported on the stones. I didn't understand why you didn't put a vapor barrier down over the dirt, and it looked like pressed fiberboard of some kind that you used as a base for the insulation. Would this not be subject to moisture over time, over an open dirt base? Also, I was very confused by the brackets used to join the floor beams to the foundation beams; they weren't joist hangers, and it seems with the weight of the heavy joist beams, quite thick/heavy flooring and furniture, they would be quite likely to twist or fail, even with architectural screws. If you could explain this to me, I'd appreciate it. I actually expected you to replace at least the end stones under the floor beams.

[@sharrablackfire7337]

I wonder how much the cabin cost?? It looked very livable even from the beginning, and all of those tools left behind too, plus the wedding photo.. did something happen to the previous owners that made them leave behind the photographs?

[@MarcusStorm]

Have a look at Q&A video :)

The windows are low for kitchen tops that is about 90cm, the flooring i would leave the stones fix pipes and put concrete then put insulator mat and the timber floor last.

[@mzay1608]

(Bathroom and kitchen designer here) It's a NO for the en suite bathroom. 1m width is a very tight squeeze. Of course, it depends on the layout, but you must be careful because that wall also has a sloped ceiling on one side.Think how you are going to use the shower, the sink or WC. I will suggest 1.2m- 1.4m For the kitchen, keep in mind that your windows are quite low, and normal kitchen base cabinets stand at 89cm( without the worktop), and if you add the worktop (usually 2-3cm on top of that. You might have to change/raise the window where the sink would be or you will end up with a gap behind.
