Metal Roofing and a Cheap Wood Planer: Slim's Fixer Upper Part 32

[@marilynrenaud1892]

Slim you always amaze me. The way you are so self-sufficient and get things done without relying on anyone else, blows my mind. The ways that you invent to get around a problem shows incredible intelligence and creativity. I absolutely love your videos. I wouldn't want to miss any. You do impeccable work and it looks wonderful.

[@SarahGraymatter]

Wow... high praises for a guy wearing an Elvis T-shirt

[@jimr3026]

Your cabin addition has become my cabin addiction 😅

[@electrocyper]

😂

[@mandydavidson6694]

I'm addicted too, I just love Slim's level headed passion to all he does. Thank you Slim. 😊

[@suerop]

I love it when you say "Well, that's the plan, anyway." I'm completely invested in your cabin and the videos showing your progress. Not to mention your tenacity and hard work.

[@SonyaBayham]

You have a talent. Building a great cabin the frugal way. It has to take twice the time, work, and determination. Go Slim!!!

[@garyblankenship9163]

In honor of the window hoisting escapade, this episode should have been called Slim's Gym.

[@arleencronin1800]

My favorite part of any of your videos are your creative solutions for the problems you encounter! Another job well done Slim. 👍

[@jacquiemarshall6843]

I can’t get over how resourceful you are completing this addition by yourself. Excellent job. Love your videos

[@dianecooper7502]

Loving your cabin updates. Looking forward to what you make out of your lumber too. ❤

[@magalirodriguez7830]

2 weeks without a slim video feels like an eternity!!

[@samdevallance1527]

I was just thinking the same thing.

[@bamslerc]

What an incredible sense of satisfaction one must get from being so able!

[@gigi3242]

Those Cedar boards are so beautiful. Thanks for the video, have a lovely weekend.

[@vivianallen9772]

Yes, I would hate to miss a Slim video! The cabin is looking so pretty, and I love the green metal roof.

[@AlysonEvans-x3q]

Yes! I would hate to miss a new Slim video!

[@discusdog]

I dont know what you used to do for a living but you would have done really well in most any of the trades. Doing this by yourself is 3 times the work. Safety slows things down but keeps you less mangeled if it goes wrong. Doing all the figuring and cutting. Also, all the labor of moving the materials. Crazy amount of work. You, sir, are an impressive dude what you dont have in physical power you more than make up for with brain power.

[@classicredwine]

Yay, another cabin renovation video!!

[@chrisdalebout5106]

Yes! I would hate to miss a new Slim video. Thank you for taking time to share 👍

[@thizizliz]

It is difficult to believe the transformation from that raggedy red, tilting wreck to this lovely cabin. You;ll be comfortable 4 seasons, whenever you want to use it. The metal roof is a great investment - you shouldn't have to replace it in your lifetime. I'm sure you'll find a way to plane the rest of the boards - you're creative for sure. Slim McGuyver Potatohead at work! :D I'm so glad to have found your channel so long ago. It's a great joy.

[@barbveenstra8625]

Addition looks great. Can't wait to see the finished product!

[@virginiatolles1664]

It's really coming along, Slim! I can't wait to see what you do with the live-edge lumber. This is really getting interesting!

[@Janer-52]

I could almost smell the cedar as you milled those boards! Hope you get another stretch of dry weather - I'd love to see updates more often,

[@AngiesTeaNTarot]

Great video. I noticed your Elvis T-Shirt and the August 12th 1977 Connecticut concert date, 4 days before his passing. Great fan of his music and your channel. 😊

[@josephmonarko4514]

I think you are doing a great job and working alone does take more time but remember it was the turtle that won the Race 😊

[@lianedegville3093]

Good evening from a cold Winter Friday night in Canberra, Australia 🦘🇦🇺

[@SlimPotatohead]

Hello Canberra!

[@ebony5766]

Non stop rain in New Hampshire. I am so impressed with your problem solving skills! Great video!!

[@bernadettebockis4120]

Awwww. That's why communities used to come together to make up new housing for the next guy.

[@NK-iv1ik]

Turns up as expected nice and handsome! Love your cabin!

[@susanstrickland6774]

You're such a hard worker. Love the cabin, and all you have done with it. That room isn't the biggest, but it's sure going to add a lot. Those boards are great! 🙂👍👍

[@deniz2008]

Slim you are a beast. Respect how much you built already! Much love from Germany

[@kevinbeyore9489]

Good morning Slim . Just spent a week in New Brunswick , beautiful , at my son's place near Harvey , every time we were out playing tourist I was on the look out hoping to see you Maybe next time , another great video Slim , look forward to the next . 😎

[@SlimPotatohead]

I've been through Harvey a few times. Name always reminds me of Jimmy Stewart's invisible rabbit!

[@kevinbeyore9489]

I thought the same thing lol

[@hansostlund4626]

😂😂👍 the best camping videos combined with the best cabin videos! you are a great entertaining character mr canadian, the best to you, gifted as hell😂😂

[@sunshine3914]

My gratification: resourceful & cheap.

[@sylviajones4907]

Love your videos. Thank you so much for all the teachable moments. Plus you show us the good, the bad, & the ugly of building, camping, etc. Nature shots exemplary. You best be glad i am not your neighbor..."What you doin' now, Slim?" 😂

[@debralane7408]

Very creative mind safety, conscious and budget wise job well done

[@gburnett9033]

Slam I love your videos …you’re a true craftsman and speaking of that beer that was made in Moncton. It reminds me of back when we went on a Canadian trip in the 70s and we stayed in a campground and somewhere in New Brunswick and met this guy that helped us learn how to clam fish clams or hunt clams, funny joke was his name was Mervin Mullen from Monkton and my dad laughed at that our whole life. We never forgot his name…that was such a fun trip.

[@kimprocarione5473]

It's looking awesome! I can't wait to see inside. And see it finished, of course!

[@rhondalyn100]

Man! You are industrious, Slimi! What a great job on this addition...so beautiful already! 🙂

[@berniejanssen2863]

It's always impressive watching you build stuff by yourself. And it usually looks pretty good when done. When putting sheeting on you should never line up the seams. They should be staggered for strength. Nice job!

[@christinae30]

Really pretty with the green roof and the ochra yellow boards!

[@lcsaldana8712]

Slim, keep making these videos. I always learn something. I also like your narrations.

[@MrLangDog]

Looks freakin' awesome Slim!! What a beautiful place to work outside when it's not storming or 95 degrees :)

[@ramonapuckett3059]

Thanks, Slim, for showing us your build. It’s kinda like a puzzle, you have to figure out how you’re going to do what you’re planning, figure out the tools, supplies you need and then start! I really like all the nature shots, too. Have a good week ❤

[@ruthanderson1758]

Amazing what one person can accomplish alone. Progress may be slow but it's happening and that's what really matters.

[@arleneesserine1766]

Been 2 weeks since this video. I’m excited to see what you have done to the cabin.

[@oldgandy5355]

Aahhh Potatohead. You've done it again! Magnificent!

[@maryboggan8251]

As someone from Memphis TN,I'm totally loving you Aloha from Hawaii concert Elvis shirt!

[@dadadit]

You are one Chill Dude, Slim!

[@billheckman5937]

I have often wondered if you are any only child. I never had siblings and have always taken great pleasure in completing projects without help. Many years ago i did some major barn repairs by myself. No one believed I raised and installed hefty oak beams by myself. Where there is a will there is a way. We thoroughly enjoy ALL of your videos. Thank you.

[@SolarSailor1967]

Key ponts: 1) It was a win-win window. 2) Can't complain about the planers planing. 3) Don't confuse Cadian beer with Canadian beer (even though it's Canadian)

[@Janer-52]

Points well taken, Sailor!

[@kevinc3603]

It’s going to be a fabulous day - I just watched a new slim video always worth the wait!!

[@lspringerjones]

You've come a long long way on your cabin. I'm impressed.

[@spitfirered]

Continued Progress Slim, Great Job👍👍💯💯✔✔

[@gumotx]

Caverns of Sonora!! Awesome!!

[@LindaG858]

Where there is a will, there is a way…👏

[@jimmyjenkins9240]

You are making good progress and the addition looks great!

[@judyabernathy80]

I wouldn’t miss a Slim video!! You are so entertaining, and you always amaze me at how you can just figure out anything and build it! You’re the whole package, Slim!! I can’t say enough good about you! ♥️🙏🏼♥️

[@dottie2884]

Good Morning Slim from Michigan!!❤ My favorite youtuber 💓

Good morning Michigan!

Nice room addition, Slim. Excellent video project.

[@nevv8581]

Great job Slim! Thanks for sharing.

[@snpnishanth9905]

Slim super work... Nice plan nice design... Good luck... Your new machine very useful for you...

[@KimHaberbusch]

We love you Slim. You're the hardest working Mr Fixit we watch. Love your cabin videos & love your travel videos. We agree with all the other "You're Amazing" comments. You're building a beautiful cabin. Take care & a sincere thank you for your videos. Stay well. Cheers from the land downunder 🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️💕🇦🇺

[@maryj1754]

We would not want to miss any Slim videos. Whether you’re traveling or fixing up the cabin. My husband and I always look for your new video!

[@Vickyplaits]

Like others watching, I'm just loving your build videos. I learn something new every time, thank you.

[@lynella6073]

It’s been so fun to watch this cabin come to life! Thanks for sharing your journey:)

[@philvarcoe]

we really enjoy your videos, whether, its canoeing, traveling, camping or building your cabin. you have a great story telling technique that reminds me of Mr. Rogers or Mr. Dressup (for adults). it is absolutely amazing that you are doing all this building on your own. we are in Manitoba, but if we were closer, we would give you a hand :) or two.

[@karenebarker9244]

Hurray! Happy to see an update! Good Morning from Florida

[@SlimPotatohead]

Morning Fla!

[@electrocyper]

Amazing job Slim 🤝 Greetings from Bulgaria, cheers!

[@bikingal4283]

OMG what a beautiful setting you have.. you must be getting so much satisfaction with each completion... I, like you, love to repurpose things normally thrown away... makes me feel so smart when I can use something I saved instead of having to run pay for something else.... love the hummingbird, they're one of my faves... take care, can't wait to see the next vid....from a truly southern gal...

[@lineupfunding]

Beautiful work Slim. Love the roof color and cedar planks!

[@oilfinder]

Slim, great work, you are talented, I still think you were " oil field " at sometime in your life. Thank you for your videos.

[@l214laus]

Good luck with the continued fixerupper.

[@robinc2024]

I was a hundred percent sure i was subscribed however i checked and was showing not subscribed. I am glad you said something...i sure dont want to miss even one video...your place is looking amazing...

[@MrStingraybernard]

I’ve watched all these from the beginning and you’ve made so much progress on this place since the beginning,a ton of work ,you should be proud of what you’ve done

[@norrisdabney4298]

Addition looks great

[@davebenson1504]

That sawdust would make great fire starter 🙂 MMM I love cream ale 🙂

[@bobmanzi7712]

[@TeeVeeZed123]

I thought the rollers were ingenious, you had them and why not?👍🏻

[@marie-christinebaudelle3796]

Very nice and beautiful built addition you have done! You are very talented and ingenious! Congratulations!!

[@susanbernard343]

Great job on your addition, it's really looking nice. Cheers from P.E.I 🇨🇦

[@stevetuttle5472]

I absolutely love the way the siding/shingles you installed on the exterior walls are aging!

[@Glyn69]

Great video Slim snd it was good to watch you work , i admire the progress you have made and all the hard work on your own , well done . Look forward to the next one

[@charleshutchings9355]

[@jan6293]

Nicely Done Slim! 🏠

[@Asdf-pi7on]

Hey Slim! Just wanted to say I really appreciate your content. The fixer-upper series has been great. Going through some transitions in life and tuning in to your channel has helped take my mind off of things. Thank you.

[@rambling_rob7035]

Slim, you looked like you were watching a tennis match 😆

[@dalepointer9414]

Cabin work 🛠️ A slight rain No window pane No door too Yet something new A snail's pace This ain't no race Ingenuity required Even though you're tired Raising an old window in Had to do it again Mental roof above It came to push and shove Two weeks of labour Now he can savor A cold ice brew A salute to me and you ( Brother Slim does it with ease-- he makes the locks plus the keys )

[@SlimPotatohead]

Thanks Dale!

[@doingitwithnothing]

Lots progress there Slim

[@dma9646]

Thank you Slim. Yes I would hate to miss a new Slim video! Progress is right, love to see your improvements and direct approach to problem solving! Keep em rollin.

[@christinae30]

Is it a mushroom or an orchidee?

[@johnnylightning1491]

Looking pretty good Slim. Keep the good stuff coming.

[@eddygoodwin7089]

Looks great, Loved how you used the rope and rollers to hoist the window up. I’ve been wanting to g to add on to a little cabin I built in 2012, at the time it was just me and my wife now I have 4 littles that makes it bit tight. Thanks for the video

[@sjTHEfirst]

Nice work Slim. You must miss the sound of rain on a metal roof, from your Aliner. 😂

[@dianemurillo6017]

thanks slim. great video and very interesting. looks fantastic. thanks for sharing your hard work. !

[@mjp0815]

The Cedar wood looks beautiful, so nice that you plane it with the bark in place. Well done the new room.... Something tells me that a battery upgrade is around the corner.

[@brncrvr]

Hey Slim, remove the vacuum port cover and the wood chips will freely move out while using the planer. That thing gets blocked up easily without a strong vacuum in use. Also maybe you already do this but I set a board height and run all my boards through, then lower a notch and run them all through again. It’s a little bit more efficient than doing just one board at a time. Hope that helps, good luck

[@gene_takavic57]

You've come a long way on your cabin, Slim. Next step, a basement! LOL

[@mikebrant192]

As a woodworker experienced with working in cedar, a brief caution: Cedar warps and cedar splits, but it is gorgeous! Ensure that you leave room for more wood movement than you imagine will be needed. Oh, and you will want to finish it soon after planing it, as it darkens rapidly to a dull grey/black. If this is going indoors, consider cheap brushed shellac, which is alcohol based. By the time you are done brushing it on a plank, the other end is ready for a second coat, if needed. It has no VOCs, and very little smell after the alcohol evaporates (maybe a half hour). Not only will this preserve the looks, it will greatly reduce the wood movement. Nice work for a winter day....

[@SlimPotatohead]

Thanks Mike, great tips!
