One of A Kind LOFT STAIRCASE / OFF Grid CABIN Building (S4 Ep10)

It took me over a year from the start of this project to the completion. I worked on this project every now and then, when I found the right piece to fit the puzzle. It's hard to imagine at the beginning what I had in mind, but it was worth the time I've spent cleaning all the strange pieces of wood and installing them to create a tree like staircase/playground for the kids. I had this idea from the beginning of the log cabin build and I very happy that I was able to make it a reality. It also fits perfectly with the rest of the raw/natural style of the log cabin. Up in the loft I've built also a third bedroom, but it can't be seen from this video.
Thank you for watching!

He lives! We are happy to see you back! This cabin build has been incredible to watch and we thank you.

[@chwilhogyn]

I was getting a tiny bit concerned about the Rijavecs!!!

I knew every comment would be much the same as mine, but it shouldn’t stop me saying that I was so happy to see you had posted a new video after some time. Your cabin build is honestly the most beautiful thing I’ve ever watched, I’ve watched from the start, from when you were identifying trees, felling them and dragging them back to the rack for bark stripping and numbering. I tried to watch this on Friday night, but couldn’t keep my eyes open after a mad week, so will watch again now. All I remember from first attempt was grinding off the bark and that this must have happened before the bathroom. Hope you’re feeling the love Nic, it’s coming at you from all directions. In a mad world of war, tyranny and greed, your journey is a beautiful distraction.

[@ahmadalhasn8111]

I swear, I am the happiest person ever. When I saw the video poems, my heart almost stopped. Happy to have you back, Nick. Thank you for your creativity.

[@nikrijavec47]

My pleasure and I'm humbled by your comment. Thank you for watching!

[@12snapper43]

What a paradise for children you have created. My grandson would never leave the house. Kudos!

[@minello7]

Sir, you are a genius, both as a craftsman and an artist. I have enjoyed following you over the years, your work ethic , imagination and stamina are a credit to you. All I can say is thank you Nick

[@cherylsmith-bell6509]

This is, as always, a real work of art! As is your whole cabin! Just perfect! What lucky kids!

[@nickischwab205]

Nik!!!! It is so great to see you again!! I must admit that I was worried about you. After watching the cabin build for so many months I must also admit that I missed you. It is so good to see you back and healthy again. I love the playground you built for the children. Your creativeness and skills are beyond belief. Welcome back my friend and thank you so very much for sharing your awesomeness with us.

[@Missy2Gigi]

I agree, I too have missed Nik and his family! Thank you Nik for sharing your life, family and beautiful home with us all!

[@johnmurphy3141]

If you'd notice this is an old video there's no bathroom off the end just saying!

[@nikrijavec47]

I'm happy that after almost 1 year you still come back to my channel and enjoy my videos. Thank you for watching and for your nice comment!

[@raphaelbartke7932]

So good to have you back Nik! I was worried, something had happened… glad to see you all healthy. Hugs from Sweden 🖤

[@SamA339-B14]

I love how every and each one of them has put their unique ideas into building their favorite home. 😍 also I literally love how you go "shopping in the forest" 😅 amazing place and amazing life also amazing family ❤

[@gulfbum4]

What a wonderfully unique use for a stairway ! Your whole house is a work of art .

[@izzimB]

So happy you’e back

[@nikrijavec47]

I'm happy you're back at my channel watching my videos. Thank you!

[@aK1baby]

the end is so hearttouching and warming. what a great person u are, investing all ur time and effort to create such a fun place for the little ones. lovely. great to have u back on YT.

[@allanpeters4403]

I repeat the sentiments of those below - I am SO glad to see you post again - have watched you and your family build the log cabin from the very start - and loved the family tradition of togetherness - a down home posting of a families life - Thank You!!!

[@nikrijavec47]

I'm honoured that you enjoy the way my videos are. Thank you for watching and for returning to my videos over all this years.

[@miraguedes9339]

Incrível essa casa😊 a sua princesa muito linda se divertindo,❤um abraço do Brasil...

[@nicomonkeyboy]

That massive pencil-sharpener is a cool tool! Glad you're back.

[@bryanquick3349]

making a tree house out of your loft, complete with great climbing branches, is an awesome idea!

[@silverlicious2086]

Nik, I've been watching from the start of the cabin build. I love the loft staircase. It is very strong. The rope is a perfect touch for fun and safety. Well done and thank you for all the videos. Cheers from Cincinnati, USA. ✌

[@Johnny_Guitar]

Very nice Nik, great fun for the kids! Amazing at how time flies, now that I'm 70, it seems like it was just yesterday when I was 30 and doing anything what a kid could do, but now and still in great health, I wouldn't even dream of playing on those monkey bars risking a slip and fall. These days, it's all about staying low and level to the ground! lol

[@inkedtoo1097]

I am amazed by your building skills. What a lovely family you have.

[@leapingkitties]

Nice to see you again Nik. Wonderful. Thank you for sharing. Hope you and the family are well. Cheers from Canada.

[@sinbads.4189]

Dang, what kid would not love growing up in that house? I personally can't think of one. How fun..so good to see you guys. God bless u one and all.😊❤

[@LewisSkeeter]

Absolutely bloody marvellous!

[@jonathanshaw1913]

greetings from the UK, a privilege watching an artist at work

[@gardnerwilson57]

I'm always trying to guess what it is that you are building but you surprise me every time. Very happy to see you at work again on the cabin build. I am also noticing that your English is getting quite good lately compared to your earlier videos. Congratulations on that!! Your family is very lucky to have someone as gifted as you are also as a father and as an artist. Our world needs more people like you. What child would not want a play set in their own home like you built? The way you can take your ideas and make them into a reality is just astounding. We all could learn a thing or two from you. Well done my cyber friend. I tell all my friends to go and watch your videos. I'll always come back as a loyal viewer because I appreciate what you stand for. Me southern AZ. (USA)

[@paulohenriquedeandrade1969]

[@frankh.valenzuelaabuelotej652]

Your creativity is amazing! The wait was well-worth it, because your artistic dreams came to fruition in fun and whimsical way. Looking forward to more of your presentations. Would you perhaps, show a walk through of all of your home, in one of your upcoming videos? Thoroughly enjoyed it. Peace.

[@frereskk]

You are an artist in the true sense of the word. Nice to see you are back. A well needed rest is always good for the body and soul. Welcome back!

[@dubie2470]

The 1st two steps of the Staircase are BEAUTIFUL!!!! The Entire Home is Beautiful !!!!

[@runninonempty820]

A whole lot of creativity, mixed with strength, agility, and perseverance and you end up with a fantastically fun way to get up to the loft! So glad you're back Nik,

[@anthonysmye-rumsby7047]

I’m loving the pencil sharpener you’ve got

[@area51ray]

Another fine creative addition to the cabin Nik. You are very inspiring to watch, thank you for sharing another great project!

It is so great to see you all again! That staircase is an incredible piece of art and so fun! You’re a genius with your designs. ♥️

[@FASDND]

Welcome back. I think we missed you Nik.

[@douglassmith5414]

Nik, your vision is incredible! I've watched you bring in a HUGE stump through the front door...and now a Huge limb with lots of branches through the same door with as much ease it seems as you had with the table base. I certainly enjoyed watching your dream and vision come alive and the smile on your daughters face is priceless. Like your home...and your skills. PS: Oh and like your axe throwing skills too...can we see more of that sometime?

[@Chris-lp2dk]

Glad you're still alive and well!!!

[@Jason-ix2rn]

This turned out awesome! Not surprised though. Everything is always great quality

MUCHOS ABRASOS.

So good to know you and your family are doing well and are here again back to the ultimate build ' this really made my day brighter good friend! 😃 Wishing you all a wonderful weekend filled with fun and love ❤️!

[@TimClauson]

Guys - ear protection, please! Operating noisy machinery (especially for extended periods of time) can and will cause long term damage to your hearing. I recommend over-ear mufflers. There's even ones with speakers built in and Bluetooth. Keep up the good work.

This is so awesomeness! The ultimate monkey tree and swing with a loft ❤ what child wouldn't love this in their house! You're definitely the best Dad ever ❤️ WoW ! 👌

[@kingrafa3938]

[@gayahithwen]

I love seeing you still working on your house. Don't worry about the speed of updating, anyone who watches how much hard work you put into creating these things will understand why your videos take time. Also, even if you never put out another video again, I'd still be so grateful for the ones you've already shared with the world. The climbing tree/ladder/staircase/rope netting structure would've been my dream when I was your girl's age. Climbing up and down, laying on the net to read a book, using the swing... man, it makes me wish I could have something like that now, as a full grown adult, haha. 😁👍

[@sherrynordan9821]

No matter what you make with your hands, is good work. Look at that loaf of bread, the making of grout, then to the stone floor. Minding your own business, taking care of what’s under your roof, peaceful and quiet. I thought to myself on seeing all that ice and snow, you got moved in just in time. Snow or not, it didn’t slow your inside projects. Good seeing your neighbor and you two working together to clear the path for breaking through another problem. Wishing you continued health to keep on keeping on, Martijn Love from Georgia USA 🇺🇸

You are an amazing artist!

[@jennygirl4925]

Just a thought. But I think it would have been fascinating to have seen you do the rope part of the build, too. I absolutely love watching you build the cabin. Much love from Ontario, Canada ❤🇨🇦👍

[@Eric-yt7fp]

I didn't even get a notification on this! I just check your channel every few months. And there is another video after this! Love it!

[@ReallyMaxPayload]

Only the other day, I was checking my subs list for a new one from you. House is looking amazing and it seems the family are all well and happy. Good to have you back. Hope you and the family have a fab 2024.

Ciao Nik, stiamo guardando i tuoi video con ammirazione, non solo per la bellezza di questa casa tutta di legno, e per i magnifici oggetti che stai creando, ma anche per il tuo modo di lavorare, che ci sorprende non poco, per la sicurezza che hai nel tuo lavoro, e per gli strumenti sempre appropriati che usi.
