I am a long time viewer and first time poster. You, sir, represent all that is right and good about America. I am proud to know you through your videos. Bill Butler US Army Retired

[@annpoucher8908]

Cabin is really looking like home. And Frankie is happy. That is the most important thing. Thanks for sharing.

[@pedro63638]

I'm a 20 year old guy,and I'm from the southern part of Brazil.Before going to college,I decided that this is the life I wanna take for a period of time.Keep up the good work my friend!!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+pedro Roman roman Thank you and all the best to you.

[@SBulldog2727]

JC I really enjoy your videos, they really help me get through my work day. I must have binged watched all your videos 4 or 5 times now. This next spring Lord willing, my family & I will begin our self sufficient life, and you sir have been an inspiration to us. Thank you and Frankie for sharing a piece of your life with us, and God bless... :) PS- longer videos please...

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+SBulldog2727 You'll have to accept some short clips now and then buddy. Doing the best I can do :-))

[@SBulldog2727]

+thebossoftheswamp Keep doing what you do sir, its all appreciated.

[@radicaljoe4574]

I remember the days. When you're on a roll, it's hard to quit. Nice shot of Frankie at the end. Thanks.

[@alvindueck8227]

Nice to come back to some of these older videos of yours. Easy to se not much has changed compared to some other channels where they think they have to make huge life changes to keep their viewers. Thanks for staying with truth and honesty

[@thebossoftheswamp]

I'm trying to figure out what "Modern Homesteading" is. Can't seem to grasp it :-/

[@jason3714]

Another Amazing Video, thanks Boss.

[@secsqr]

Your videos are awesome!! I can now really see myself living a more simplistic life. You make everything look well worth the effort.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Tracy Brooks Thank you kindly. I appreciate your comment.

[@ketchumdan9095]

I've watched everyone of your videos for the last four years. I love them all. I came for the trapping and fur handling videos. I hope to see some more of those. Hopefully you havnt lost interest.

[@107retired]

Hey JC! I just watched this again for the fourth or fifth time and it dawned on me, there IS such a thing as a "five minute job" and you proved it!! You put that workshop up in just about 5 minutes!! There IS hope for my 'honey do list' yet!! Thanks brother!!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Keith Rayeski LOL. Five minutes at a time for the honey do list. Love it.

[@gregh.7977]

Very nicely done J.C.! That will be the perfect way to keep your cabin clean and do the chores you need to do in a cozy, purpose built area. I'm sure you will enjoy the fruits of your labor. Take care and give Frankie the job of "workshop guard dog."

[@lynndutt2219]

We had 4 kids so we needed a large station wagon. I laughed when you call the vehicle a 'grocery getter'. The kids use to call the station wagon the same thing. I watch you because you remind me of my late husband. He was a carpenter, too. A real one, like you. He would figure things out and always worked alone.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Lynn Dutt Thank you for your kind words Lynn. Glad you enjoy my videos and thank you for saying so.

[@colin8532]

Well, I feel quite lazy now, sitting here on my arse! My goodness man, you're a machine! You do amazing work, as always. God bless

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Colin Keevil LOL Thank you buddy. God Bless.

[@dennhandmadeknives872]

I'm envious!! I'm hoping to have a spot like that in the Adirondacks someday.. I already live in the Dacks but it ain't the same when its your main residence and you have to wake up and go to work from it..lol

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Denn Handmade Knives Hope your dreams come true for you. Cheers :-)

[@dallas_red904]

Great job and looking forward to the next steps...I am in such awe of your work and skill, always so enjoyable to watch both of you, of course Frankie is the star builder, right, sitting there telling you just what to do and training you right...LOL

[@cindyoquinn7924]

Excellent video! We have had our 2001 Jeep for over 9 years and it's still going and in great shape. We recently had the headliner replaced because it had started to fall down. After I drove it for a few years we passed it on to our eldest son when he got his license. Tell Frankie we said hello :-)

[@jackgeorge5799]

I can't believe you got that shed up in like five minutes.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Jack George Wish that was true :-))

[@coffeewithmike3916]

There is a reason why they called him the "boss" lol

[@timknoerle6896]

Thanks JC... loved it all... the geese were quite a welcome from God, saying hello from far above you.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Tim Knoerle Nice way to look at it Tim. God Bless.

[@thewaverslmao.1149]

I've watched every video of yours and I'm addicted. I have an exam tomorrow, but I just had to stop and watch your video. It's so relaxing and motivating. I can't wait for the day I reach my goal of living off the grid. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+The Wavers Lmao. Best of luck with your plans my friend. Thanks for commenting.

[@dsstroyer]

Was that just a days work? Man, I'm always impressed by you. Keep it up.

[@Dan-op8kk]

When the concrete life is to much to take its so refreshing to watch your videos.ty

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Dan Lindner Glad you enjoy them. Thank you.

[@The3DPrintingWarrant]

As always another great clip!

[@Survive2022]

you sure do know how to build, good strong buildings. I couldn't agree with you more about having pride in a job well done. Personal accomplishment, and pride.

[@opossumly7789]

Nice little work space! I thoroughly enjoy every one of your videos and thank you for making them. Don't worry about how long they are. You are more than generous with your time filming, editing, and responding to comments and time is our most valuable commodity. I'm happy to see as much or as little as you are able to share and you are busy living your life in a full, rich manner. You are a good man and I have great respect for you. I wish you were my neighbor, at a reasonable 4-5 mile distance, that is. I like my space as well as you. All the best. Rick

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Opossumly 4 to 5 miles works for me too :-) Thanks for your kind words.

[@dacman17]

Please more videos your audience is waiting!!!!!! me especially, I love all your videos, me and the wife settle down at night wood stove burning and enjoying your vids, please don't stop. :)

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+David C. I'll post them as my time will allow buddy. Been stretched a bit thin lately but headed for a slowdown soon. Cheers :-)

[@MrTbone828]

Holy crap!!! Didn't see that one coming but awesome none the less... thanks for the peak...yes sir

[@aloft5348]

Totally agree with the sentiment on working alone. My bride gets on me sometimes for taking too long on a project and never asking for help. The sense of accomplishment when standing back looking at the fruits of your labor is like nothing else. Never understood those guys that pay somebody to do something and then act all proud of it when its done. Keep up the good work and God Bless.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Al Oft I love it when someone says "I built a new house" but they never drove a single nail :-/ Thanks for commenting and blessings to you as well.

[@DaveWilcoxJrOutdoors]

Very nice work JC... well worth the effort! I can see the pride you take in your craftsmanship by the quality in your projects, something that many of us never realize how doing it right and to the best of one's ability is far more rewarding in our minds! Great video as always JC, thanks for sharing!!

[@amyknox5349]

Thank you for feeding my addiction! I also love my Jeep...a Wrangler though....Been driving it for 20 years with hardly any maintenance! 95 was a good year...Thanks for sharing!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Amy Knox Glad you enjoyed it Amy. All the best.

[@lukehereiam9188]

Where do I begin? The best channel on KZbin. The best hands down. Thank you for sharing parts of your life with us.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Luke Hereiam Thank you for your kind words Luke. Cheers.

[@mysoberlife9158]

my wife and I love watching your videos the passion you have for the outdoors reminds me of myself

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Happy t hear that Danny. Please share my channel with others :-)

[@dannoquin7322]

JC, you are absolutely over the top! The siding on the cabin is one of the BEST I've ever seen. What a rich old school siding that is.👍🏻

[@hairfarmer07]

Yaaaaay. New vids. My day just started and it starts with a new vid from boss of the swamp. Can't get much better than this. Right on right on. Thank you Sr. ONE LOVE. yaaaaaay.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+hairfarmer07 Thanks for the smile :-))

[@ScubaOz]

Frankie is one hella of a good boss, he had you working your butt off to finish that in one day! LOL Nice looking workshop, thanks for the vid! Keep them coming

[@Jagang06]

Wow- you completed that by yourself amaZING! Hugs to Frankie

[@kevintulak9987]

I am away at a work retreat so am sitting in my hotel room re watching some of your videos in high def, which I can't do at home in the mountains. There is nothing like the tired feeling that comes from working hard all day and achieving something with your hands. I did it vicariously today through your video and looking forward to doing it at home for my self this weekend. Thanks for sharing.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+kevin tulak Totally agree with your thoughts on hard work and accomplishments.All the best.

[@novemberschild7653]

"Smile for the camera, Frankie!" I love that part :-) I'm sure you'll get a lot of good use out of your workshop, in the winter and all year round. That's if Frankie doesn't claim it to store all his toys!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+November's Child Frankie thinks I built him a bouncy ball room ;-/

[@lurches21]

Another great video Jim. Can't wait for the next video. Give Frankie our best and God bless you.

[@Warbirdwoodsman]

Best channel on KZbin..... hands down

[@FISHBREATHH]

Your right about those Jeeps and that 4.0 inline 6 cyl rules. Your building is looking good.

[@billygreenville59]

Boss of the Swamp = Awesome! Nuff said 👍😎

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Thank you

[@PondRiverFarm]

You make it look easy but I know a lot of work went into that build. I really enjoy your videos, I find myself smiling the entire time I watch them. Thank you for sharing!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+My Old Kentucky Homestead So nice to hear that. Smiling is a good thing so keep on smiling my friend. All the best.

[@Jameson4327]

Job well done! You and Frankie are a team

[@sabinemuller8124]

watching your videos is always like a short vacation for heart and soul! greetings from germany!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Sabine Müller Glad you feel that way. Thank you kindly.

[@rockyyates2006]

Got to love that Frankie !!! He is a great dog. And nice little work shop to.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Rocky Yates Frankie thinks it's his new playhouse :-/

[@crazycooterMN]

I agree with ya on the jeep. They're all just like cars now nothing like the willys they were spawned from. You could probably find some quarter panels pretty cheap online and just keep the old girl runnin!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+crazycooterMN I may have the quarter panels replaced. I'm a wood guy and don't mess with auto stuff much.

[@crazycooterMN]

I under stand. The front ones should be a simple un bolt and bolt the new ones on. I assume you're probably like me and don't worry about color matching as much as having a solid body. I have a 2002 grand Cherokee with the inline six and love the setup. Will be trying to find some for myself. Great videos man, keep it up boss! Love the workshop!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+crazycooterMN Maybe I'll build some out of wood lol :-)

[@crazycooterMN]

Haha too funny man. You'd be bringin back the old woody wagons!

[@jasonkelley3197]

Always enjoy your videos. Thanks.

[@AULTimateOUTDOORS]

Good looking building boss!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+AULTimate OUTDOORS Thanks buddy. I've got to get over there and finish it one of these days.

[@LifeinFarmland]

You know fall time is here when you hear and see all the geese. I enjoyed the video, a lot of work right there. Thanks for sharing!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Life in Farmland Lots more work to do on it too. Getting back at it soon. Cheers

[@dougLinker]

you are as stubborn as I am -best to work alone :)loved the vid -thx man

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Doug Outside All the best :-)

[@MrBuckstrang]

I concur with Woods. Wait for your next one. thanks again. Cheers

[@preparedchipmunk]

Ooohhh the joy of making something wonderful like that. I wish that someone would allow me the gift of helping them make a building. My dream is to do what you have done, I have no one to show me. I learn best by helping.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+preparedchipmunk What part of the country are you in? I'd be happy to show you how t do this stuff.

[@preparedchipmunk]

I live west of Chicago.

[@MrCrappule]

project goes the right way keep going

[@diverdan551]

Holy Cow Jim, a six minute workshop build... ;-) Smile!!! I am so impressed you built that entirely on your own...Not surprised at all, but absolutely, and super impressive....Wow!!!! Frankie is one hard driving supervisor, that boy is...LOL. God Bless my friend..........VERY NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! TAKE A BREAK AND HAVE A BEER GUY, NO MATTER WHAT FRANKIE WANTS DONE....LOL

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+diverdan551 That Frankie is a slave driver. Get that building done and throw toys. It's all about the toys ha ha. All the best.

[@jondrew6755]

That's a nice little shop you built but I couldn't tell what the sits on. I look forward to seeing more of whatever you build as it's always informative and entertaining.

[@garychurch-smith9017]

What can I say JC, but you Rock. Great job and a very useful project that will pay you back many times over.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Gary Church-Smith Thanks Gary, I'm looking forward to having it.

[@mdelucia67]

Looking Great Boss..I agree,,there is a Ton Of Gratification in Knowing Ya Did Something All On Your Own,, All The Best Good Sir

[@mattdavies422]

jc, you make it look crazy easy. well, all that experience i guess. its all coming together nice, thanks for another great quickie.......

[@Heavy_Kev]

This will make winter all the more enjoyable for all of us as well. Great job !

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Kevin B Looking forward to building things in there :-)

[@lancesurgeon7614]

Frankie's out of time out! Woohoo!!!

[@notenoughprepping]

Damn good carpenter JC.

[@4722brenda]

when everything is done, you're going to have to put more of the wood stove cooking videos, I think everybody loves those. well sawdust for the bathroom.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+brenda alexander I'll definitely do more cooking vids in the future. Gotta get over the hump first.

[@4722brenda]

👍 like I said, I'm always thinking about food.

[@johngallagher2313]

You are an excellent craftsman. I enjoy these videos. I will be looking for the finished project.

[@Hatch61]

Thanks for sharing boss, God bless you.

[@JDArmes]

I too have an 01 Cherokee. Absolute beast. It's even the same color as yours. My wife drives the 07 Grand Cherokee "grocery getter." You can talk bad about it all you want but when driving cross country I definitely prefer the 07 to the 01.

[@dannythomas8208]

looks great Boss. thanks for the video,really enjoy watching you and frankie. God Bless.

[@mmanut]

Great job Boss. It's very obvious you aren't a stranger to hard work. Your carpentry skills are on point and that will make one hell of a craft building. Small wood burning stove, a few cold pops and you are in heaven. Thank You for sharing. Give Franky a pat from me. Really looking forward to the conclusion of this out building, thanks again and Be Careful. Vinny

[@vlvtopcat]

Hey Bossman Ive never seen anyone by them selves throw together a work shop in under 7 min wow ur awesome.lol. No dought a helper would have slowed you down.Your a man who puts his mind to something look out for the flying sawdust.lol Thanks once again for sharing a special project of yours with me. Looking forward to the future videos. BOBBY

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Robert Harrison Done in seven minutes... now I can go hunting ha ha.Thanks for your kind words my friend.

[@laurellielee]

Wow JC, how long did that take you? You should totally make a book on cabin designs. Filled with tips for solo cabin construction. I look forward to seeing the completion of the workshop and clips of Frankie.

[@KristeneSchmitt]

Always nice to see the updates. You continue to impress me with your carpentry skills. I am envious. Look forward to the next round of footage Boss. Have an awesome adventure!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Kristene Schmitt Thank you Kristene. I hope to get back there in a day or two and get back at it. I'll be sharing some cool waffle recipes soon too. Cheers :-)

[@maineiacacres]

Finest kind JC!

[@SwampDonkey530]

I hear you about that rolling junk they call Jeep, went right down the crapper after the millennium. Little shop is a useful addition..should serve you well during the dark days. Good luck filling your freezer buddy, that time is almost upon us too, that's what them geese were telling you!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+SwampDonkey530 Down the crapper for sure buddy. Nuttin like the good ol days.

[@happilyretiredmark64]

Very impressive Boss. I caught myself pausing and rewinding the video in an attempt to see how you were doing that. Very nice man! As for the Jeep...I think that is with most vehicles now with practicality and usefulness taking a backseat to lots of little gadgets intended to allow folks to feel special!Keep them coming and take care!

[@happilyretiredmark64]

And I see that your next video will be a milestone...or century stone I guess. 100 videos. Nice effort Boss and an early congratulations!!

[@backyardmeat]

Very nice Boss, that last shot of Frankie was awesome!

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+backyardmeat Thanks buddy and thanks gain for the beers.

[@MeeLowTrapper]

Ahhhhh, "Miller Time"....one of many great ways to end a hard workin' day. Your project is lookin' great! Take care buddy. ~Don

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+BrassTurds A great ending to the day for sure buddy. Cheers.

[@TheAbledGardener]

Great project and I agree with wanting to do my projects on my own. I wish I had the energy and health that I once did, to do the projects I have on my list, but now, it's one thing at a time; I guess I should be thankful for that. Once again, great job, Kim

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+The Abled Gardener Slowing down here too my friend. I'm reminded my youth has fled just about every day now. Cheers :-)

[@dabprod]

Know what you mean about working alone. I did it for years in FL over 40 years ago. Makes you use your head. I had Jeeps in the 80's, Cherokee and Wagoner but the full size ones. Loved both of them. Great video boss man, thanks.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+dabprod definitely have to think my way through things a bit more but I certainly do prefer it. Cheers.

[@RevBlue50F1]

Been watching for a few weeks now. Don't comment much, but had to leave one here. That's a fine days work! I hope to do the same, except with my boys at my side (now 4 & 6) if the Lord will bless me to find some land in the next handful of years. Thanks for sharing your blessings! Pet Frankie once for me.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Rev. Blue 50 F-1 I wish it was "a days work" but in all it was approx. 24 hours worth due to the weather and moving the tripod all over the place. Good luck with your land purchase.

[@RDM-fc6rd]

Great video. Nothing better than working with your hands. Go have a cold one are two. Thanks. Ronnie,Texas.

[@Tony13754]

Thanks! I see myself in you...I am always going it alone! I get scared if I screw up, I may have to firer myself!LOL! But as the craftsman you are, I see you know all the trick to get it done alone... God Bless You my Friend! great video and job as always

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+CitySlicker Tony Some things are tough doing alone but I keep plugging away. Just a bit stubborn I guess. All the best to you buddy. God Bless.

[@dianehall5345]

One step closer to realizing your goals my friend. Good job. This shed will serve you well. Jim and I will be starting on the woodshed/work shed on our woodlot this spring.

[@GardeningWithPuppies]

I know this will sound silly because of my age and maybe even my gender, but I so wish I could build things like that. It has to be so rewarding. Still loving your videos, my friend. My regards to, Frankie.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Gardening With Puppies Thank you Paula. Yes it is very rewarding. I guess that's why I keep building stuff :-)

[@69Robbiejue]

You are a very talented man for Sure !!!! Keep safe. Regards Rob.

[@thebossoftheswamp]

+Tara Marlowe I didn't build that in one day. In total, it was approx. 24 hours of work because I was filming too. Gorgeous days for working and everything went great. Been hauling in materials and getting ready for the second round.Always good to hear from you Tara '-))

[@trustin.p9504]
