Installing the WOOD STOVE in the LOG CABIN, Christmas Night and Snow Walk (S3 Ep16)

This were the moments I was dreaming about for the past few years. I was more than happy that I managed to get the wood stove working before Christmas and we started the first fire in the log cabin right on the christmas eve.

I said it before and will say it again...Nik, you are an "Old Soul". To see the joy in your eyes once the stove pipe was in and to hear you talk about it. More than just the fire was kindled that day. All the hard work was well worth it to have your first Christmas in the Log Cabin.

[@RolandForest]

I believe regular television is in deep trouble. When you can watch a show like this on KZbin with the high level of production and just wonderful feelings you get from watching Nick and his family. Truly this man is talented and we are lucky to have this media to watch them on

[@vikings844]

Watching you and your beautiful family decorate the tree, I was blown away at the quality of the amazing workmanship you put into your home! Outstanding work and you should be very proud of yourself!

[@jackiereeves9280]

After all this time watching your journey, this video is such a blessing. You and your sweet family must be so proud of your accomplishment. A blessed 2022 to all.

I love the woodland scene under the Christmas tree. Something I've never seen before. I also love the enthusiasm of the young lady of the house and her good eye.

[@johninalaska4437]

Hi Nik and family, what great moments you all have together. I really like your wood stove it looks fanrastic and it looks like it will throw a lot of heat out. Your tree is beautiful as well. You are a very lucky man to have such a family. Wish you all the luck in the new year.

[@silverlicious2086]

Not only excellent craftsman skills, but the editing skills shown at the end of this video and throughout are very very good. Well done Nik on both.

[@michaelm077]

Watching your children’s excitement decorating the tree is amazingly beautiful. Have a blessed 2022 knowing God is watching over you and your beautiful family.

[@andreboudreau6474]

Lovely stove Nik, it’s nice that it offers the option to cook as well provide heat for the cabin. Cooking on it will be great on those cold winter days. I also love the way you decorated the base of your Christmas tree. May 2022 bring you and your family many wonderful times at the cabin. 🇨🇦

I love the stove and hope once you have built the backing and floor standing you can move it into place again. It's a bit much when the dining table weighs more than the stove though lol

[@twkfilmmaker]

I cant describe how happy this video made me. God has truly blessed you with skill, ability, determination and will. He has blessed you with a wonderful family and a connection with nature. I was smiling the whole time. God bless you and your family. This truly made my day. So happy for you.

[@bvalt1]

Your cinematography, and artistic touches with this video are amazing, The amount of shear physical work you put in is already off the charts, but your editing and video/sound processing skills are top notch. The music, and the absolute joy and love that you and your family have for each other and this special place. Thank you for sharing it with us, knowing there are still great and wonderful souls out there gives us all hope!!

[@artmichel5572]

WOW, Nik, who needs big fancy wrapped gifts when you have it all! I especially like your intro and end shots of the outside, sunset, snow scenes with your family…and dog. Looks like something out of a movie scene. I have not been with you since the beginning but I’ve seen the last 10-12 episodes and I have to ask where you are located. What I especially see in this video is total and complete happiness, contentment, and loving and caring for life..your family. Congrats brother, you are an inspiration for every man.

This episode gave me goosebumps more than once. Your time as a family lighting your first fire was a special moment to witness. I was especially moved when you finished everything in time for Christmas and used the occasion to put the finishing touches on a beautiful nativity scene in honor and celebration of Christ's birth. Finally, the scenes at the end showing the beauty of nature even in the harshness of winter. Nik this channel is truly a blessing to all of us that you are sharing your adventures with. Thank you for being such a beautiful man.

[@jorunnchristophersen9797]

I love the nature-filming, and the playing in the snow. 😊

[@regunter6599]

You should have baked a Christmas goose and a figgy pudding, I have no idea what a figgy pudding is but it must be great. Being with the ones you love, having children around who still love the magic of Christmas is what really makes the season. That is an amazing looking heating and cooking piece of equipment.

Never clicked so fast! Happy to see a new video! And now the cabin keeps you guys warm!

Although I admire this journey, fireworks in a forest make me sad... It scares the animals around, already having a tough time during winter...

Cold house, building that 1st fire, hearing the kindling pop & crack. That's the sound of home to me.

[@ginniespence9034]

I totally agree that sound of cracking wood on fire is an awesome warm feeling and moment! Ive so enjoyed following you on your cabin build. Im 72 and have always wanted a cabin. I guess i live through you and everyone else who has built your cabins! Beautiful just beautiful Nik.

[@st3althyone]

Same here in South Texas, fellow watcher, no snow just cold weather dropping to the low 30 degrees Fahrenheit; but alas, not enough moisture to bring us any snow. I've also been watching Nik’a build from the beginning, and while I also would love to see more content from his channel I understand it must be tough. Nik has to balance his family, work, build the cabin, and edit/upload all the content he makes. That takes a lot of time, so, understandably, his releases are sparse. I look at it from the point of quality over quantity, sure he could release a bunch of crappy videos or he can release them slowly.and take his time making them the best quality possible. It's like a diamond, when you find it it just looks like an ordinary piece of crystal, but give that to a jeweler, and he will make a beautiful gem out of it. This is what Nik is giving us, only the best.

[@14yeartwitch14]

Nik, We had a wood burning stove back in the 80s, so I'm sure the technology/attributes have evolved but I'm curious if they suggest putting any kind of protective barrier between the back of the stove and the wall? Or the bottom of the stove and the floor?

[@st3althyone]

That's a pretty good questio, inquiring minds would like to know.

[@jayheinrich5207]

I bet he has followed the specs. New stoves (at least in the U S) are a different class than the old with emissions etc.. I am curious about the 90’ bend and cleaning the creosote. He has a much nicer one than I yet I could do a 3 inch clearance and I got it twenty years ago. I clean it with special logs that has Lye to Make the creosote flakes off and fly out the stack. Black flakes are easy to identify on fresh snow…. Best to all, may this new be a new better for us! Take care

[@14yeartwitch14]

@@jayheinrich5207 I too was curious about the 2 90 degree bends esp with the significant rise he has to go to. Thought for certain it would lag out a good 45 degree for at least 18" but maybe it's got a good electric fan that helps exhaust. Been a long time since I've looked at them w all the bells and whistles.

Bringing the hot stove too close to the rear can be risky.

[@nikrijavec47]

I'll protect the wall with stone or something similar. I knew from the first day that it can't be like that forever, it gets too hot.

Holy cow that's a heavy dining table! Maybe hollow out some of the under side. So wonderful to see the tree in there and all the finish work come together. I'm very envious.

Nik, I joined you about the beginning of the second year. What an incredible set of tasks you planned and completed. I am full of admiration for the quality of workmanship in the almost finished cabin. Kudos to you and your family and may you get years of comfort and relaxation. Great work. I live an a house that is 12 miles south of Pikes Peak in central Colorado. While the Peak is at 14,110 feet, the altitude through the living room is 6,250 feet. I never get tired of looking out at 8,000 ft. ridges valleys, and mountains. The difference in scenery from your place is that this area is semi-arid with a lot of juniper (AKA mountain cedar), pine, and cholla cactus. So I identify with you and your flora, and your videos strike a responsive chord in my heart. Thanks.
