[@bluecollarmark]

BOSS, LOVE THE FIREWOOD ENCLAVE WHEN YOU WALK IN YOUR CABIN, THINK I WILL TAKE THAT IDEA FOR MY CABIN:). HOPEFULLY YOU FIND A BAG OF GOLD BEHIND THE KNEE WALL, INSTEAD OF MICE DROPPINGS, LOL. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOURS.

[@hellominions1604]

Very few people find that place to say, were here to stay. I know I have. Collie dog inspecting ones work, you cant put a $$$ value on that :-)

[@UncleSasquatchOutdoors]

You are getting there, slowly but surely! Thanks for sharing you adventures! I am glad Frankie is doing well!

[@barbwaite1344]

Best in the business Boss, great video. We closed our remote Maine cabin for the season last month and your posting help to distract me from the long cold separation that is part of not living year round in paradise. ...119 days till my return Thanks for reminding us and showing us the way forward Merry Christmas. ..time for another log on the fire...and a cold Moose Rule too

[@normsatv]

Looks great nice to see Frankie still gets in every camera shot he can love he sleeps right by you when working gives you that look like hey shhhhh lol .

[@firstmateblackpowder6266]

psst , you know your a great story teller Boss do you think you could do a vlog and RECITE, ' THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS ! '

[@jarodpratt2129]

Nice update Buddy. Looks like you'll be toasty warm. :-)

[@Strngbru]

Congrats. You have a nice place. Glad it's working out for you. Always like to see how you tackle projects big and small. Have a Merry Christmas and stay warm.

[@hutchins36]

Nice work on the cabin. you do good work.

[@rodney12310]

Nice work Boss as always....you got a cozy spot there for the winter....all the best !!

[@kevintulak9987]

If you build a chicken coop it would be cool to use the original door for that. It is looking good thanks for sharing.

[@Downeastwaves]

Love hearing the Chickadees!! Excellent work for the skirtings. Love that bubble wrap. We use it around Mom's old foundation at he house.

[@larryjacobs5713]

Boss, I am learning a lot from you. Made a water filter system for home and it works beautifully. Have materials to build a Rocket Stove like yours. I copied your dollies that you brought the Kitchen Queen in to the cabin and plan on doing it just like you did next spring. I was wondering what to do about insulation under my cabin and now I know!! I taken so many ideas I feel like I should put you on my payroll. Yessa

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Glad you find my postings beneficial Larry. Please share my channel with others.

[@johnblackie646]

Glad you guys got your must do’s done so you can enjoy your beautiful cabin through the winter, glad to see Frankie helping and lounging around, Merry Christmas to you all and Happy New Year, keep on keeping on and Best of luck always and thanks for sharing your videos.

[@clubmike2910]

I always enjoy your videos, thanks for the update.

[@ChileExpatFamily]

Man I love that you have got it going on the cabin in the snow. I know how you are a winter guy, but for me (with the metal bars in my neck) I just can not take that level of cold any more. Wonderful place you have and very peaceful. Jim

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Yeah I can understand that. We love the snow. My full length version of this video will be released on the new platform when it's ready. We're filming everyday now :-)

[@12ernie]

Always something to do,ain't it! Great video!

[@GreyGhostX]

Hey Boss great video.!! I'm looking forward to leaving London and living off grid, your videos are inspirational.

[@terryporche8745]

Enjoyed video JC. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. God Bless y’all.

[@StepvanDan]

Nice job Boss,love the cabin,so cozy looking,thank you buddy

[@breezyridgeranch]

Great video as always 👍🏻

[@lonniehollifield8629]

Boss how is the whitetail hunting and the trapping up there?? got to keep those groceries coming you knw.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Hunting is good but trapping has tough restrictions.

[@shawnsisler3743]

Gutted a house built in 1857 once, yeah, that was fun.. Racoon mess, squirrel mess, mice mess, snake mess.. YAY.. but lovely old place that we picked up for 8K... It was built to last, everything in it was mahogany, oak and hedge. Trying to cut through the hedge cost us 9 blades and drilling into them killed two dewalt drills.

[@johnwilliams294]

Merry Christmas Boss! I really enjoy your productions and projects.

[@nocfor6]

If you find some old baseball cards let me know ha ha place looks great. god bless

[@pamjones6465]

Nice work. Frankie got the right. :)

[@Jut3333]

Looking good boss. Man I miss the snow. No snow for us in Ga.

[@tjinnes]

We have some of those jobs too. Try to ignore them but in the end you have to get in there and do them. Yessir!

[@dannoquin7322]

JC, the cabin looks cozy and nice work you’re doing there. Merry Christmas and have a cool Yule.

[@WORMGITTER]

attic work and skirting.... a tough job but like ye said..... "It will be worth it in the end!"

[@buffalostate1]

They cant take your money with no music. Awesome vid.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

True :-)

[@jron20r51]

Smart no music...no copyright.

[@lastniceguy1]

Dontcha hate when the put off tasks become a must do. Seems like it is always at the worst time. When doing them finally, I always think, "why didn't I do this a long time ago when the weather, etc was better".

[@FatherAndSonFun]

The Cabin is coming along great! That looks like an Awesome place! As always, awesome video! 👍

[@patrickinottawa27]

Merry Christmas to you and yours, and all your viewers....

[@Tomhohenadel]

Very nice video. You do some mighty fine work boss. I suppose Frankie tells you the right way to do it. Cabin looks real good with the staggered cedar shakes. All the best to you both. Merry Christmas

[@woodchipful]

Frankie the inspector! looking good Boss.

[@Living-The-Dream]

Where is Frankie's head lamp???🐾🐾🐾🐾😂. What a helper he is!

[@livelife4471]

You are too far in the woods for Santa so don't expect a visit from him! Nice to see you are living well. Take care, Merry Christmas to you and Lorie.

[@OFFGRIDwithDOUGSTACY]

Damn Ice problems =) Merry Christmas!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Merry Christmas :-)

[@CMV14504]

The place looks great Boss! Now you're all buttoned up and ready for winter! Looks like Franky has adjusted well and always ready to be the foreman on all of your projects. Merry Christmas and a Happy and Blessed New Year!

[@rwmagnus]

Looks like Frankie has major skills first front door fitment then holding down that insulation during critical stages of construction. Yep I bet he holds a union card.

[@dougthomas1582]

Love your channel JC. Merry Christmas to you and your lady. God Bless.

[@TheBreamer999]

Hello from PEI. It occurred to me that you have to do the work , and record it and edit it. That is alot of work. On a weather note Boss , we are headed into a big deep freeze around the 27th of Dec. -21c for Prince Edward Island, so I think you will be in for much the same. I've loaded in much birch and maple for this period, since I heat with wood. I am off work for the next 11 days and plan on wood stove cooking for most of it. Cast Iron is my friend . Merry Christmas JC and all the best

[@thebossoftheswamp]

It snowed all day yesterday but now we're getting freezing rain. Merry Christmas buddy. Stay warm :-)

[@genevamerrick1833]

That' s looking purr...ty sweet... alright...Just you...her...and ...the dog ! Looks real cozy...with the chickadees to sing for you outside...Looks like a Christmas post card out front...just in time too !! Merry CHRISTMAS you all !!! and a wish for a ...Happy New Year !

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you and Merry Christmas :-)

[@ronthibeau2862]

Great job. Really coming together

[@Bigga-Pa]

Thank you for allowing us to be on this journey with you.

[@rodneydoucette3982]

Thanks for showing cabin skirting.. Enjoy your hard work.. Happy holidays

[@DouglasSpear12]

I started using that bubble wrap on the inside of my garage door about 8 years ago and it did wonders. After seeing your application under the flooring at your NY cabin, I ended up doing the same thing when I built my composting outhouse at my cabin earlier this year. Well worth it. Glad to see your new home and life is thriving as I expected it would!

[@LIONRIVER1]

Great job and great video as usual Boss. Nice snowy day, we still don't have no big time snow yet on the Midddle Atlas mountains here, we hope for the best. You deserve what you have man, Merry christmas to you, to your family and to Franckie of course. God bless

[@firstmateblackpowder6266]

GOOD NOW YOUR SET , MERRY CHRISTMAS BOSS TO YOU & YOURS 🌲🎅🎄😁🍀

[@firstmateblackpowder6266]

Thank you Boss , you and Frankie are awesome ♥ TTYL 😁

[@k.cashman427]

Makin' the NH Cabin toasty--and doing it the right way! I like it!!

[@johnbrinton3873]

Yep, you guys will be cosy even through the coldest of winter! I did notice your drainage piping in the craw space vacates in a big S trap, where is should be a P trap and then a vent. You should look into this if you start getting sewer smells! Great video JC, thx for sharing!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Yep we just wing it here with the plumbing but so far so good ha ha :-))

[@jenniferrice5877]

great job and thanks for sharing. especially, Frankie in his supervisory position.

[@barrystarner8127]

What about Frankie's Christmas video, we can't forget him and a visit from SAnta.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Next year :-)

[@steveb9894]

Great job boss! You are an inspiration to us all! Love the job you did. I wish there were more people like you here in NH! Merry Christmas to you and your wonderful family!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Merry Christmas

[@fishingfreckles]

not mentioning names but I just watched another video a guy and a dog about off the grid living, it sure wasn't like watching you and Frankie, I dont think he said two words . Like yours much much better, if he is trying to copy you, he has a long way to go. Take care Merry Christmas. Hey I didn't see a tree, do you have one?

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Oh yeah, Mama decorated the tree on Thanksgiving day. It's pretty festive in here :-)

[@TheOutdoorsman]

You really transformed that cabin! Looks great and im learning a bunch from you as well! Take care and merry Christmas!

[@scottemt]

Love the videos as always Boss! I had a thought after finding out that you worked for a log home company in addition to your other carpentry experience. Would you ever consider doing a small log cabin project maybe shed sized or so? My brother and I are looking for the right piece of land in NH to someday build our own cabin. Researching log cabin building, but would love to get some insight from the Boss!!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

I may in the future :-)

[@scottemt]

Thanks Boss! Looking forward to it!!

[@weels1886]

Good work Boss! Glad to see you're settled in. Merry Christmas!!

[@mauserhouser]

in Orygun under the house and on top of the dirt we lay heavy visqueen down for a vapor barrier. just an idea, you may have already done that.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

I plan to do similar with some cheap tarps. Still got some pier work to do under there.

[@mauserhouser]

we had a Kitchen Queen 380 we loved it but have since moved to a new property like you, we are downsizing and the Wife wanted a different heat source (smaller) etc. i have the NEW unused water tank for the back of the 380 stove and the summer cooking grate unused if you ever want them, i'd make you a great deal on them. the new owner of our old house turned out to be not such a nice person so they were moved to the new house with us. i figured we'd get another kitchen queen but the Wife wanted something a lot smaller now they're just sitting.

[@cplaw3]

Love that bubble foil... has so many uses. Keep up the good work Boss

[@patriciaherman6499]

Great work the Cabin looks wonderful. Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@roomforapony1]

The pond beavers taught you well.

[@dadgad68]

Nice job on the skirting bud. Sure looks like the bubble foil is doing its job. Good job finishing the proper vent. I always called it truevent same thing though. Sure am impressed by the bubble foil. I remember asking you way back when if you found it warm on the feet. Well if it's warm up on that mountain i guess i'm covinced. Many thanks as always. Wishing you and yours all the best this Holiday Season.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

That stuff is amazing buddy. The ground outside that skirting has been hard as concrete for a month but inside the door it's as soft as chocolate cake. It's unreal.

[@PumpkinVillage]

Glad to hear all is going well there. Here in Vermont the snow has also hit with a lot of wind. Have a great holidays, Take care, Al

[@rhino4prez]

Keep the content coming. Always a good treat. Looking forward to more cooking videos.

[@rustedoakhomestead]

Good to see you and Frankie again! The cabin is coming along fantastic!!

[@WalkerOutdoors]

Awesome video I love that cabin

[@Roadking-285B]

Awesome as always, the Cabin looks great, tell Frankie my dog says woof.

[@daleswier8429]

You have the cabin looking great, Boss. I love the neath if the winter looks in the woods too. Very nice! Enjoy, and Merry Christmas to You and Yours.

[@marksparkplug7758]

Looking good Boss and Lori ! Take care.

[@EdKirkpatrick10]

Great vid JC, in the south we put a vapor barrier down on the soil in the crawl

[@thebossoftheswamp]

I'll be doing that when I'm finished under there :-)

[@cherylgirard9833]

Oh yes heat loss big time. One of the first thing we had done was to have them come out and re blow the whole house. They had no insulation over the garage and a cheap garage door that had no insulation. Bought the panels for that and installed. Big difference You guys have been working your fanny's off but it sure is looking good You and the family have a wonderfully blessed Christmas and a great new year. Love to all kiss for Frankie

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Merry Christmas to you too Cheryl :-)

[@leperejoe1536]

I'll tell you; you have been busy this year. Thanks for taking us along with your journey. Nice work on the skirting!

[@redtopyankee]

Enjoyed the update. Ty

[@hickoryhomes6838]

Great job Boss, you do excellent work especially considering all the obstacles you have to work around in an old structure. I do think Frankie deserves extra cookie rations for being such a good assistant. Thank you for your videos - I'll be subscribing to your Pantheon channel as soon as it's up and running. Cheers to you my friend and to Santa's Little Helper too. :) Merry Christmas from Wisconsin.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you my friend. I filmed this in 2 verssions. This one for Utube and the full length with my creativity thrown in for my new platform. There's a solution for every problem. Merry Christmas.

[@hickoryhomes6838]

You're totally right and I know I speak for the HUGE majority of your Subscribers when I say if you show us the path we will follow you and your channel......really we're just following Franklin but it's cool he allows you to tag along. I hope Santa treats you right again this year. :)

[@acorn9934]

Boss and you yours have a Merry Christmas, you too Frankie..trapping coyote now, wish me luck..

[@jodysappington7008]

Looks Great---even underneath the house......Thank you for sharing

[@cabinman]

The door with a larger window will go a long way in lifting your winter spirits for sure. That skirting and insulating will go a long way too!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Much needed upgrades for sure.

[@shawnr771]

Put up on a couple of saw horses that old door would make a good work bench. Good job on the cabin. Merry Christmas.

[@fredmoller1675]

Always a lot of work on a remodel, but hey, it is part of your family heritage, Boss, so it is all worth it! I sure love watching your projects, and I can't wait for more! Merry Christmas, Boss, your girlfriend, and of course Frankie......your Canadian friend!

[@NSTRAPPERHUNTER]

Thanks for the update and as you know, the work will never end. Later you guys and all the best. Marry Christmas and all the best in the new year.
